Expedition 36 crew member Karen Nyberg demonstrates how she washes her hair in space. The hair washing process took all of three minutes in the microgravity of the International Space Station (ISS).
Being in space means microgravity and no matter how hard you try, your hair will stand on end. You also can’t pour water in space so it is all about surface tension, and grabbing the water droplets before they get away from you.
And after the three minute wash with “no-rinse” shampoo, Nyberg said her hair felt “squeaky clean”.
