I did a year with no shampoo with long hair (not like waist length, but mid shoulder blade length I guess?) and it was grand, just wash with water and you're away, your scalp will take a wee while to adjust to its new shampoo-less regime.
For a light cleanse for the hair without using anything that lathers apple cider vinegar is magic.

Cool, yeah that's how long my hair is.
I think, though, that my dead straight hair just looks crap with its 'natural oils' while any kind of natural wave or curl looks great. Although I try to only lather near my scalp to stop the ends getting dry. Well, this thread has prompted me to at least attempt to use less of the sudsy stuff.

Anyone do shampoo-free with long hair? Only one I know is @skydancer who is saying it's not viable.
I like the idea of getting away from shampoo... I can tell it's stripping my hair and I use loads of conditioner every time I wash my hair just to get it to feel normal afterwards. I remember a friend at school trying this and giving up after a month of increasingly greasy hair, but then we were teenagers at the time producing an excess of everything.
