How to wash your hair when there is no light or water, how to take a shower, how to practice makeup removal and care: here are 7 tools that will help you support yourself during difficult days.
Waterless hair washing cap
Caps that allow you to wash your hair without water were originally created for use in hospitals. Very quickly, the invention began to be used by those who go on long hikes where there are no conditions for washing their hair. Finally, they can come in handy in city apartments during blackouts.
The inside of the cap is a soft non-woven material, and the outside is a waterproof layer. The formula already contains shampoo and conditioner, so no water or further rinsing is required. It's easy to use: put on the cap, massage your hair and scalp vigorously just over the hat – and you're done.
If possible, the hat can be heated in the microwave along with the packaging for 15–20 seconds.
Dry shower
The idea of using wet wipes for washing can be dangerous due to skin irritation (the composition of wipes often does not provide for use on delicate skin of the body). Another thing is a dry shower. In fact, it is a sponge soaked in foaming agent. It is enough to moisten it, squeeze it several times until foam forms, apply to the skin and carefully remove the foam with the towel that comes with the kit. The towel is made of 80% cellulose – so it does not irritate the skin and provides comfortable use.

Dry shampoo
The product, which we used to use mainly to add texture and volume to our hair, is now used for a more utilitarian purpose – to prolong the freshness of our hair and increase the interval between washings. We wrote about how to use dry shampoo correctly so that it works as effectively as possible here. Briefly about the main rules: shake the bottle well before use; separate the hair into strands when applying; massage lightly so that the sebum is better absorbed. And also – apply dry shampoo at night so that you wake up with a fresh head in the morning (even if you sleep with a hat).
Cordless hair dryer or styler
Even those who have inverters often hesitate to turn on hair dryers and stylers because of their high power. Cordless stylers are a very valuable thing in such conditions.
They work without a network, allowing you to create beautiful styling even if there is no light.
Micellar wipes
Even those who don’t wear makeup need to thoroughly cleanse their skin. Residues of dust, smog, sunscreens, and cold creams are also impurities that need to be removed every night. When there is no water (or there is, but it’s icy), micellar wipes will come in handy. They don’t need to be rinsed off — this is clearly stated in the instructions. However, there’s nothing wrong with wiping your face with a toner after use. Despite their excellent composition, micellar wipes are an SOS remedy. It’s advisable to use your usual multi-step cleansing routine every day.
Brushless cleaner
For situations where it is impossible to brush your teeth thoroughly, foams and conditioners have been created that dissolve plaque. They are either spread with the tip of the tongue on the surface of the teeth, or simply rinse your mouth with them. A few seconds and minimal hygiene is complete. If you have the opportunity to use floss (dental floss), it is worth doing so.
Perfumes that lift the mood
Selfish pleasure, perfume is a universal way to switch senses, focus on something pleasant and carefree, immerse yourself in sensual pleasure. Choose perfumes with notes that serve as a teleport to better times: for example, with a note of mimosa, sakura or linden.
Music
Even if you have to wash your hair without water or remove makeup in the dark, we recommend listening to soothing music. Here is a playlist compiled especially for the Danish brand Apeer, which recently appeared in Ukraine thanks to Starlit Group.
