When disaster strikes, the most important thing is to "protect your health," right? However, once evacuation life begins, it can be difficult to maintain hair and body care that you normally take for granted. Especially in situations where you can't take a bath or maintain cleanliness, there's an increased risk of getting sick or spreading infections.

This is precisely when care items to keep your hair and body clean become extremely important. You might think, "Shampoo and body soap seem difficult to carry around...", but there are actually compact and easy-to-use items available!

In this article, I will explain why hygiene management during disasters is important, and recommend portable care items.

What items should you have during a disaster?

When thinking about disasters, water, food, and blankets probably come to mind first. Many people have already prepared these. However, "hygiene preparation" is also something that shouldn't be forgotten. Considering that evacuation life may be prolonged, tools for keeping your hair and body clean are essential.

Normally, we maintain cleanliness by taking baths or showers, but that's not possible when you're in an evacuation shelter. Especially when water is limited, it can often be difficult to wash your hair and body. However, if you neglect your hair and body, your scalp can become itchy and your skin can become rough.

This is where compact and portable care items come in handy. If shampoo and body soap are all combined into one, you can reduce your luggage. If you choose solid items instead of liquid, they are lighter and there's no worry about leaks, so you can rest assured.

Keep your hair and body clean! Why shampoo is necessary during a disaster

Some people might think, "It's fine if I don't wash my hair, right?" But actually, it's important to take care of your hair. When your hair gets dirty, it can affect the health of your scalp. Dirt buildup can lead to an itchy scalp and dandruff. When you're stressed, you're more likely to get sick, and that's even more concerning during a prolonged evacuation.

Also, when dirt and sebum accumulate on the hair, bacteria and viruses can easily multiply. To avoid the risk of infection, keeping your hair clean is important even during a disaster.

But you might think, "I can't use showers or baths during a disaster, so shampoo is impossible!" That's where shampoo that can be used with less water comes in handy. In particular, solid shampoo bars can lather well and remove dirt with a small amount of water, making them perfect for disaster situations where water is precious.

"Disaster Shampoo" to keep in your emergency kit

You might be wondering what kind of shampoo to choose for your disaster emergency kit. First, consider something that is compact and light. During a disaster, you want to keep your luggage as minimal as possible, so lightweight and portable items are best.

For example, solid shampoo bars are much lighter than liquid shampoos and easy to carry. There's no risk of leakage, so you don't have to worry about other items in your bag getting dirty.

Furthermore, during a disaster, you have to consider that you "need to conserve water." It's ideal to have something that lathers well with little water and effectively removes dirt. That's why we recommend the CHANT All-in-One Shampoo Bar. Since this one item can take care of both your hair and body, it's incredibly convenient for reducing your luggage.

To make evacuation life even a little more comfortable

During a disaster, stress can accumulate from an unfamiliar lifestyle. Maintaining a state as close to normal life as possible is important for protecting mental and physical health. In particular, keeping your hair and body clean is essential for maintaining comfort during evacuation life.

However, if opportunities for bathing decrease, discomfort inevitably builds up. In such times, an item like the CHANT All-in-One Shampoo Bar, which can wash the entire body with one product, is useful. Unlike liquid shampoo, it's light and easy to carry, making it a welcome convenience for use during evacuation life.

Additionally, since it can be stored for a long time, preparing it beforehand as a disaster preparedness item provides a sense of security that it can be used anytime. Because it's an all-in-one type that can be used by the whole family, it's also convenient for everyone to use.

Moreover, the All-in-One Shampoo Bar is Phase-Free

Do you know what "Phase-Free" means?

I didn't know until I met someone from the Phase-Free Association the other day.

Phase-free products are those that are useful both in normal times and during disasters, not just for disaster-specific use.

 

What is Phase-Free?

Most disaster preparedness items are stored away and only taken out during emergencies, but phase-free products are different. Phase-free products are those that can be conveniently used in everyday life and also come in handy in the event of an emergency.
