Will 100mls of shampoo last me for 2vweeks?

We're going away for 2 weeks with carry on luggage only. Normally I'd pack toiletries in hold luggage.

I appreciate that Boots in airports sell shampoo and conditioner but at grossly inflated prices. Plus we can't bring it back. I'm just trying to work out if I can get away with 100 mls of shampoo for 2 weeks. I'll have 200mls of conditioner as DH doesn't use it so can take 100mls for me.

I usually wash my (shoulder length, fine) hair every other day. Will 100mls last me or do I just sick it up and pay airport prices? I'm going to have to buy the suncream airline as I burn really easily.

PS If Emma Grundy was up for election, I'd feel a lot less worried about what might happen tomorrow!

Take bar soap, a shampoo bar, a conditioner bar, solid stick deodorant then you only need to worry about sun block and moisturiser(s). And wonder about how much plastic you have wasted over the years lugging about all that water.

I use Grüum shampoo bars and conditioner which I can highly recommend. The coconut one for normal hair has just 5 ingredients because it doesn't need preservatives like liquid soaps. My sister loves the one for dyed hair. Disclaimer: we both live in soft water areas, however I have been on holiday in areas with hard water with no ill effects on my use of shampoo bars. I think the requirement for vinegar washes etc is on a par with salting your aubergines before eating. Not something we need to do any more.

I changed my user name to this several years ago, it might have been 2019 but might even have been 2015. I did wonder about changing it when this election was announced but never got round to it!
