NASA Astronaut Nichole Ayers: Hair Wash Day | International Space Station

To wash their hair in space, astronauts can use a special no-rinse shampoo, a water-filled pouch with a one-way valve, and a towel. They squirt warm water onto their scalp and work it through to the ends of their hair, applying the shampoo and then drying it with a towel. The water used in the process is recycled. This method ensures that astronauts maintain their hygiene needs while living in space.
