An item I think that may be ideal is a shampoo bar. It's compact, you can store it in a tin, it's said that you can get at least 60 washes to each bar and you don't need to worry about a bottle of liquid leaking through your bag.
Today I purchased 3 different bars from Lush to test out, 2 shampoo bars and 1 conditioner. My hair is oily at the roots and dry on the ends and I'd say my hair is fine so I'm some what skeptical as to how affective these bars will be. Harry's hair is thick, coarse and a little dry so I'm eager to see his results.

Seanik shampoo bar for soft shiny hair. I was advised this bar would moisturise our hair more than the Montalbano.

Only I will be trying this one. Harry and I have been using coconut oil as a leave in conditioner and its been really good. It seems to be holding Harry's curls together especially well, more so than any other product he has used and my hair loves it but I find if the oil gets on my skin it can cause a breakout so I've decided to give this bar a go as an alternative.
