(with tongue firmly in cheek) - you could always get your head shaved - that way you'll save 3 quid!

Is that hosepipe ban biting already? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

you can get stuff from camping shops that claims it's suitable for for washing skin, hair, fruit, vegetables,pots, pets, is biodegradable, unscented, works in fresh and salt-water.Tried to insert a link but failed miserably. I have a little bottle I bought 10yrs ago - the label has come off now. Still got loads left, cos you don't go camping to stay clean!
Can your stylist not recomend something?

We've found Johnson's Baby Shampoo (mind you we're in Oz) seems to lather up fine in salt water.

 

[MASH]

Why bother? Ordinary shower gel works fine, as does almost any normal plain, cheap shampoo. Boots' or Tesco's own brand are fine. Equally instead of paying £££ for fancy sungrease Boots' own is about 3 quid for half a pint or so and does the same job - all factors available.

Agree wirh MASH. Shampoos are detergents and therefore lather and clean perfectly well in the hardest water (i.e seawater). It's just soap that won't work.

And thirded - apart from a mug of fresh water to rinse my hair, I've needed nothing more than shower gel and salt water for weeks on end. Fine if it's warm weather and only minimal loose clothing is needed.

And fourthed, and to add that we find that the soft soaps used in the pump type dispensers work well in salt water as well (I assume that they are also detergent based).
