Hi there, I've had a lot of people. Ask me how I wash my hair in space, and I thought I'd show you how I do it. Let'S see to get started. These are the things I need: a bag of warm water, a little, no rent, shampoo towel and my comb. What I like to do is start by just putting some hot water squirting it onto my scalp, and I have a mirror there. So I can kind of watch what I'm doing. Sometimes the water gets away from you and you try and catch as much as you can. Then I just work the water up through to the ends of my hair, and I take my newer in shampoo and squirt. It also on the scalp just a little bit and rub it in again kind of working it out to the ends. Sometimes I'll actually take. My comb help work. It all the way to the end, and I like to take my towel. While I have the shampoo in there and just kind of work it because without standing under running water, you kind of need to use the towel a little bit to help get some of the dirt out. I like to follow that by a little more water. It'S called no rinse shampoo, but I think it's best if use a little water with it. It actually feels kind of squeaky, clean right now I'll take the dry part of my towel. We use towels for quite a while here, since we have limited supplies, we use them wisely. I think that's pretty good, and now, as my hair dries as the water evaporates from my hair, it will become humidity and air, and then our air conditioning system will collect that into condensate and it won't be long and our water processing system will turn that into Drinking water at the end, I just do one final comb through to make sure there are no snarls and snags, and while it dries, I looked like to let it stay stay free. I don't put it back in a ponytail while it's drying, and that is how I walk here in space on the International Space Station.
