After my shampoo bottle got crushed while I was in Nepal, I used some of the solid shampoo one of the other ladies had. She works for the airlines (travels a lot) and she has been packing solid shampoo for years. It was great. It doesn't stay as "wet" like normal bar soap, you can dry it off with a towel. You make the lather by rubbing the soap between your hands and then washing your hair.
It comes in a metal tin, but any metal tin to transport it will work. The other good thing about bar shampoo (I use Lush shampoo) is that it doesn't have to go into that little baggie you have to put all your liquids in at the airport.
I (deb) have not tried any of the solid shampoo bars, but what i read on the internet certainly makes it compelling: Solid shampoos have no preservatives (no liquid content so they don't need any), need very little packaging and are very light to carry around with you. And - Shampoo Bars – They last longer than most relationships!

Oooo, just ran out & bought a bar of Lush bar soap shampoo for an upcoming 6-week adventure. Tried it out this morning. I could do a commercial... Wonderful stuff! 5 swipes of the bar on my long wet hair made lots of lather and smelled great. I found a store selling it in my area via Google, and was shock to learn that our Macy's in Fort Wayne is the only store to carry it in my entire state, Indiana. The gal that sold it to me helped me pick out a type (there were many varieties) that contained something that sort of acts as a conditioner but I don't know what it was exactly named (it was the orange one though). It did take me slightly longer to de-tangle, but this soap is definitely going into my packing lineup! Thanks for the great tip! It was most timely for me!!
