I got the Kitsch shampoo and conditioner rice water bars to try. Like rsqrott my hair is fine, and can be pretty fly-away without good conditioner. So far I feel the shampoo bar is okay and the conditioner bar is minimally adequate. I think they will be fine for travel.
Preferable to ridiculous little single use plastic containers. And those refillable tubes people swear by? I can never make them work Of course, I am not the most patient person...
I'll be using a little mesh kitchen vegetable storage bag for storage and transport.
As always, this forum costs me money. Maybe the moderators could subtitle it "The Shopping forum?"

Maybe the perfect answer for no-plastic shampoo and conditioner bars is here https://thesolidbarcompany.com/collections/hair-care for EU members and here for the USA members https://thesolidbarcompanyusa.com/collections/hair-care. I discovered these a while back when visiting the USVI, I think they were based there at that time, now they've returned to the UK and have a partner outlet in North Carolina. I've been using these for three years now and they rejuvenated my hair after many other product tries/failures. Apart from being plastic-free they're also palm oil-free and SLS, paraben, sulfate, and artificial fragrance-free making them 100% natural/vegan and great for carry on - so suit me down to the ground as I'm very eco-conscious. Worth a try!

Sephora now has Viori shampoo and conditioner bars:

I really like these. The conditioner actually works well with my fine, dry hair. While I still like the Kitsch shampoo bars I have found that they have dried out a lot over time and it's getting difficult to get a good lather out of them now, Maybe that's the nature of the shampoo bars in general?
The Viori work well, both bars easily produce what I need to get my hair cleaned and conditioned without excessive rubbing. These do have fragrances, though one appears to be fragrance free.

Over the weekend I discovered that there is such a thing as powdered shampoo and conditioner. So in the interest of helping my fellow travelers I've ordered two different ones from Ulta to try.

Powdered cleansers and microfoliants have become part of my go tos for travel and for daily use, if powdered shampoo and conditioner will work for me I'll be over the moon.

I have only had an issue once, at LGW, where a surly security agent insisted that anything with a spray (even if it sprayed dry, powdered shampoo) had to go in the liquid bag.
