Maybe put a towel on your pillowcase to get you through the hardest weeks.....

Hmmmm. That's awesome Freedom. I was talking to a friend of mine just the other day and she saw something on TV, but can't remember where or when, and the tv people took 3 women and challenged them to not wash their hair. Two couldn't bring themselves to get to the end and the third woman said she would never ever go back!
I'm now on day four and my hair is very greasy and stiff up near the roots and frizzy at the bottom. I think it will be ponytail land for me for awhile. I may even buy myself a new hat so I don't gross out the SAD mummies at my children's school!

I would love to give this a go but I have dermities (sp?) on my scalp so I am not game within abut 2-3 days of not washing it just drives me insane (Have to go and have a shower and wash my hair I cant stop scratchin). Maybe the vinigar would help I dont know I just dont think I am game yet but it would save me a lot of money on shampoo. Bella hates her hair being washed so Pete just rinses it in the shower and her hair is looking beautiful she hasnt used any shampoo for about 4 or 5 weeks. I think I will give her Shampoo to my nephew and niece to use and leave her shampoo free as well as Connor.

How is your hair going Freedom and Jen I am going to be watching this thread now!!!!!

Well, I'm up to three weeks today since last hair wash and I'm happy to say it is almost there! I have this one patch at the back, just above the nape of my neck, that is still really greasy but apart from that my hair is basically as soft and nice as it was before! 
I think the massaging sounds like a good idea Jen... I have been really sort of scrubbing my hair in the last few days - working it around, through my fingers etc as though there is shampoo in it. I was thinking about the whole toothpaste discussion, how it is the brushing action that cleans more than the toothpaste itself, so I started using a 'washing' action in my hair and it seems to have helped.
Apart from that though my one big tip is patience! Oh and try getting a headband (I have 3 like the one I'm wearing in my avatar, they're getting plenty of use!) or a hat!  ... this little guy has the right idea!

Thanks Freedom, I've been putting it up in a pony tail when I go out in an effort to make it look like some grooming has been done!

And I've been wearing caps as well.

Baking soda (mixed with water) strips out oil too very well in the shower... but I don't know if using that would be against the no shampoo thing. You could try also shaking some in dry and combing it out. That way it removes some of the grease, but doesn't stress the scalp into producing more oil.

I read in the 'olden days' they also used to put a piece of silk on their brush, spritz with flower water, and brush. The oils from the hair were transferred out onto the brush.
