Like this too. It's what I used on the Camino. Used it for clothes too.Long hair, short hair - the very best IMHO is JR Liggett shampoo bar. Absolutely no conditioner needed. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. Try it for a week before you leave to take out all the other stuff that is coating your hair.
I hear castor oil might work.
Doesn't Liggett suggest that you use a vinegar rinse after washing?Long hair, short hair - the very best IMHO is JR Liggett shampoo bar. Absolutely no conditioner needed. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. Try it for a week before you leave to take out all the other stuff that is coating your hair.
Can you recommend anything that would help me please?
It was the Jungle one but the assistant taught me how to use it- you stroke it down the length of your hair then comb it through and leave whilst you shower and stomp about on your clothes etc rinsing it off right at the end. Hope this helps.I entirely agree with you about the shampoo bar Bonita, although I didn't get on with the Lush conditioner bar that I tried. What one did you use?
I used the sea salt bright blue shampoo bar and kept it in the tin and just rubbed it on my head without taking it out (when it became concave I flipped it over) plus the jungle conditioner bar.Yes please tell which bars you took, as they can be very different. I love them for travelling but on my 6 week camino the shampoo bar went all gooey in the round tin and I had to give up on it. Now I keep them in a Lush black plastic cream pot with a piece of neoprene at the bottom to make it easier to get out and dry. My favourites are Montalbano with lemon, Jason and the Argan oil with, obviously, argan oil, and the Karma Komba, which is sadly no longer available in shops.
I'd like to share something about dealing with longish hair on the Camino.... I was advised well and took a Lush shampoo bar plus conditioner bar which were both fantastic (although my tip is take two conditioner bars for 4 weeks plus) as I'd never heard of these before I was pretty sceptical being previously a high maintenance hair kinda girl! I also took two hair grabs as inevitably one will break/get lost and a simple comb. My Camino hat had a peep hole in the top for the grabbed hair to poke through. Since returning home I've noticed what great condition my hair is in after 5 weeks of no hair dryer no fancy products and no hair brush. You might think that hair is a trivial thing to write about but managing it is a big deal for me.... and the Camino stripped my hair issues bare.

What's wrong with bald? Revel in the fact that you don't have to deal with any of this stuff (or carry it on your back, for that matter...)! Freedom.........................!Can you recommend anything that would help me please?
Too late!
Applied.Applied or consumed?
Me too!Hair isn't a trivial subject - I'd love some!
You can't miss a Lush shop - you can smell them from 25m away!@AcrossTheWater3008 You'll have to go to a Lush shop, there should be many of them in London. Top tip is to pick one without 'bits', or at least with bits you can easily pick off, like the Montalbano lemon and olive oil bar. No rosemary twigs or seaweed in your hair or in clothes if you use it for laundry too. I think the one @BonitaHolland mentions is the bar called Seanik - I used it on my first long walk and still keep one just for the smell, it transports me back straight away! I don't find the solid conditioner helps at all, but my hair is huge and coarse and nothing really helps.
I used a Lush bar, but I cut it up into finger-tip sized pieces and only took one with me into the shower at a time. Kept the rest in a baggie that stayed nice and dry.Yes please tell which bars you took, as they can be very different.

I *have* shaved my head - twice in my life. I am now thoroughly enjoying my long hairShave your head! It's a money saving idea and no longer do you have to deal with creepy sweaty smelly hair or buying shampoo.
