I hadn’t heard of people using dry shampoos, I had come across them for dogs. Well I would having a collie that hates water and getting wet. Yeah Strider is a little precious on that front. When he gets wet boy does he sulk and let you know it.
Anyway I digress from the point of this post.
In another great find by the Life Hacker site, and falling into the “the bloody obvious, why didn’t we think of that earlier?” category, is this post…
“Use Baby Powder As Dry Shampoo”
As soon as I saw this I thought, what a great idea and how bloody obvious, and then this has backpacking uses (for those with more hair than me).
And now I’m wondering how many backpackers are already doing this? Would love to hear if you have tried or are using this already as to your experience, tips etc. Just leave a comment in the comments below.

I tried a dry shampoo product years ago when I was a teenager. The end result was not that impressive: I went from having greasy hair to having hair stiffened by the powder. These days I just get my hair cut short before long trips to simplify maintenance.
I have not used it, but will try, maybe I will have the best looking hair in the outdoors.
Ha! That takes me back. I remember reading and trying this years ago when I was a teenager – with talcum powder. It’s great for giving you a grey look – no matter how well you brush the powder out, it still had the grey hint.
Never tried it. Do powder my whig, though.
I used to use talc on my hair in my motorcycling days – wearing a crash helmet used to make my hair very greasy. Talc worked a treat.
