[QUOTE="lindseh, post: 121356, member: 13128"] I also use the Lush shampoo bars. I took the "New" one (the red cinnamon one!) last time but mine actually didn't last - finished it off somewhere in Galicia, presumably because I just have a whole lot of hair to wash. But they really are perfect! Shampoo, soap and laundry soap all in one. I know a lot of people do that with just regular soap, but I'm fairly certain my hair would fall out if I washed it with a bar of soap so this is a perfect compromise! This time I'm bringing two bars, because my hair is about 6 inches longer than last time. The only warning I'd give is if you're going to buy one of the tins to keep it in, buy a square one, not the round one! The square ones are actually meant for a different product, and they're a little bigger, but it can be damn near impossible to pry out a round bar from the round tin it's stuck to the bottom of! I love some of the old responses on here putting down anyone who says anything remotely "vain"! :P I also am going to dye my hair right before I leave, because last time I went with a two month old box dye job, and by the time I got home after walking in the Spanish sun my hair was an awful orange colour, and to be honest, when I look at some of my pictures from the camino, it really bothers me. SO, OKAY, I ADMIT IT - I'm somewhat vain! Even on the camino! But hey, I'm 21. It's part of the job description innit? Despite being someone who loves fashion and make up, going without on the camino really isn't that hard at all. Don't miss it one bit, and definitely found it odd whenever I ran across a peregrina putting on mascara or lipstick! But, I do want my hair to have a normal human hair colour in the photos that I'm going to have for the next 70 years of my life! Also appreciated the joke from years ago above about picking up blokes on the camino with your freshly dyed and washed hair... I wasn't there to "pick up blokes" either, but still managed to meet a handsome young Spanish fellow despite my orange hair. I wonder what he'll think of my freshly dyed brown hair when I go to visit him in April before my camino. :P [/QUOTE]
