OR MAKE YOUR OWN
You can also make a dry shampoo. This is good to use when camping, when you are sick, or in the winter if you do not wish to get your hair wet. Mix 1 tablespoon cornmeal, 1 tablespoon powdered Orris root, and 1 tablespoon finely ground almonds. To use this shampoo, brush your hair very well, from the scalp down to the very tips of your hair. Rub the mixture into your scalp. Brush your hair very well again. Do not be concerned if some of the particles are left in your hair. They will easily wash out when you wash your hair with a regular shampoo. This shampoo is also very good for extremely oily hair.

Answer 2

Here's something I just found
Soda and Oatmeal Dry Shampoo
There are always going to be days when you don't have time to wash your hair, but all is not lost. Whip up the following ingredients and keep them handy. It will give you at least one day's grace.
1 cup of ground oatmeal
1 cup of baking soda


Combine ingredients and then transfer into a clean jar.

How to Use:

Massage a little into the oiliest parts of your hair and allow the mixture to absorb the oil. To remove, brush and then shake the hair. That is pretty much it. I have used dry shampoos for years and they are perfect for that day when you don't have time to shampoo, or you simply don't feel like it.

Answer 3

I've never tried any of these "waterless" shampoos. If I'm only going for two or three days-Baby Wipes and toothpaste are the only toilettries I bring. Four days to two weeks- doc bronner's and more baby wipes. You only need about a gallon of water to bathe. Your hair and skin need those oils-it's nature's lotion and conditioner. I also have an all-natural cure for athlete's foot, but you'd probably be grossed out by it...

Answer 4

that is interesting..when i'm swimming the lake and rivers my hair usually gets dried out not greasy. if you dont' have time to wash it before you guys go somewhere. the store or just out of the campsite. throw it in a ponytail and put a bandana or headband on. it will hide where your hair is most greasy and can look good with most outfits

Answer 5

There is the homemade route (baby powder or cornstarch - shake it in, brush- your set).

There is the shampoo called PSSSSSST (really) it comes in a can and can be gotten at some drug stores.

Try a medical supply place - they may have dry shampoo on their shelves for those who can not do their hair very well, due to disabilities.

Hope this helps and happy camping!

Answer 6

Baby powder.. Just sprinkle a little in your hair and brush it through... Also, you can use cornstarch.... Also, just brush your hair in the evening to distribute the oils... Good luck.
