I use compression sacks for all my gear. They come in different sizes and it makes everything way smaller. I even have one for my sleeping bag and it makes it about 2/3 the size it was in the bag it came in. I put my tarp, underquilt, and hammock in its own sack and then it is just one item strapped to the pack! Just make sure the sack straps vertically.
Example
I backpacked around SE Asia earlier this year. Depending on how tight for space you are and how much you want to prioritize your products, I recommend a compression stuff sack for your clothes. This freed up so much space for me. (Also caused me to over pack clothes, so be careful.) However, I was able to bring a full size conditioner for cowashing, another conditioner, travel-size gel, travel-size spray bottle, a leave-in, and a small wide-toothed comb (I think I brought a pick). This was enough for me to conservatively last two months. I ended up tossing the travel-sized spray bottle and the leave-in cause I found it was unnecessary and I just didn't care enough to carry them around or even use them.
Also, if you end up stranded somewhere and need to borrow some shampoo/conditioner that isn't CG for a few days it's not the end of the world and you can just try to find some at your next destination. So maybe you want to prioritize that you have enough detangler and styler for your whole trip.
Thanks! I'll take a look at these. Should fit fine in a medium compression sack, yeah? One of these?
