NASA astronaut Jessica Meir shares zero-G curly hair tips from the ISS (video)

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir has shared a video demonstrating how she manages her curly hair aboard the International Space Station, 260 miles above Earth. In the footage, Meir addresses the unique challenges of zero-gravity personal hygiene by applying weightless drops of water and no-rinse shampoo to her head. She then dries her hair using a T-shirt and adds a small amount of product. The demonstration provides a rare look at everyday routines in orbit.

    Why it matters

    Maintaining personal hygiene in microgravity presents distinct physical hurdles because liquids float freely rather than falling. Astronauts must adapt standard terrestrial habits, such as washing hair, to suit orbital conditions. Public interest in the day-to-day lives of space station residents frequently highlights these mundane yet complex adaptations.
