Can any generic conditioner be used as wash off?

in Hair Type 3
Hi fellow curlies,
I've been a avid curly ever since I came across this site a year ago. Its has transformed my life. I travel a lot, and its rather annoying to check-in my suitcase every time only because I have this huge bottle of conditioner that I lug along wherever I go.(those 100 ml bottles get used up in half a wash!) I just wanted to know, can I purchase any run of the mill conditioner product for rinse off ? I can carry small bottles of my leave in as I don't consume much of it.

I travel a lot too. I just check in my bag if I'm going for more than a weekend.
To answer your question... sure any generic rinse-out (wash-off?) conditioner is fine... but are you CG? If you're cowashing exclusively you should stay away from conditioners with silicones. Otherwise any cone-free conditioner should be ok... or any conditioner in general if you low-poo. I'm assuming that hair isn't your priority when you travel; I know it's not mine! I just go for decent hair aka not a big bush hair.
I lol'ed at the TBS explanation in your siggy. I knew instantly when I saw so many TBS products that you were either non-Europe/US and/or traveling frequently.
