i occasionally use a solution of sodium bicarbonate when my hair gets actually dirty, otherwise just leave it and brush it and the greasiness calms down once you stop ruining yourself with shampoo.
Mix 2 tablespoons of bicarb with 500ml water (ideally soft water, or boil it a few times before mixing the bicarb in if you have hard water). A bit of a squirt of that on wet hair does much the same as shampoo and does shift grease. A 1:5 mix of white vinegar in water has a similar effect to condition according to some folk.
I never use antiperspirants and occasionally use a lush powder called "the greench" if things get wiffy in wiffy prone areas.
That combined with wearing as much merino as possible means that things stay wiff-free, and I've got friends who would not hesitate to tell me if I stank!
