How to Stay Clean at a Festival Without Showers

Best hygiene hacks for camping at music festivals

Let’s be honest: festivals are unforgettable—but the hygiene situation? Not so much.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a hot, crowded tent with no access to a proper shower, you’re not alone. Whether you’re heading to Glastonbury, Boomtown, Creamfields, or a weekend camping event, staying clean without plumbing is completely possible—you just need the right tools.

Here’s your ultimate guide to staying fresh, clean, and confident at a festival, no shower required.

🧴 How Do You Wash Your Hair at a Festival Without Water?

 

The easiest way? Rinse-free shampoo caps.

Unlike dry shampoo (which masks grease but doesn’t clean), shampoo caps like those from PureEase allow you to actually wash your hair without any water. Just warm the cap (if you like), place it on your head, massage for 1–3 minutes, and towel dry.

No stickiness. No powdery residue. Just soft, clean-feeling hair.

💡 Pro tip: Heat the cap in your sleeping bag or in the sun for a few minutes before use. It feels amazing.

🎒 Festival Hygiene Packing List

To avoid the dreaded "festival funk," here’s what to pack:

• ✅ PureEase Shampoo Cap(s) – lightweight, waterless, single-use

• ✅ Biodegradable body wipes – great for underarms, feet, and everywhere in between

• ✅ Toothbrush & toothpaste – don’t skip this one

• ✅ Deodorant – solid or spray, your call

• ✅ Microfibre towel – fast-drying and compact

• ✅ SPF – because sunburn is not a vibe

• ✅ Hand sanitiser & tissues – essential for portaloos

• ✅ Face wipes – perfect for a quick refresh

Keep it all in a dedicated pouch or wash bag so you’re not hunting for stuff in your tent.

💇 Is Dry Shampoo Enough for Festivals?

Short answer: not really.

Dry shampoo can be great in a pinch, but by Day 2 or 3, it builds up and can leave your scalp feeling itchy, gritty, and heavy. If you’re someone who loves the feeling of actually clean hair, dry shampoo just won’t cut it.

Rinse-free shampoo caps clean your hair, not just cover up oil. They remove sweat, grime, and odours—no powder required.

😌 How to Feel Clean and Comfortable at a Festival

Festivals are chaotic in the best way. But feeling gross or greasy can take a toll on your confidence and energy. A few quick hygiene habits can make a massive difference in how you feel—and enjoy the event.

• Start each day with a freshen-up

• Use a shampoo cap at least once during a multi-day festival

• Wear breathable clothes and change socks daily

• Don’t forget skincare—sun, sweat, and dirt can cause breakouts

It doesn’t take much to feel human again, even in the middle of a field.
