I've been reading more and more about the benefits of not shampooing:
What benefits do YOU see in YOUR hair from not shampooing?
How do you keep your hair from getting greasy?
Ever use conditioner?
Anything else you want to tell me about how you wash your hair?
TIA!

None. I shampoo every 2 or 3 days because product buildup gives me some interesting scalp problems. And it gets really heavy and not curly at all if I don't shampoo occasionally.
How do you keep your hair from getting greasy?
I don't have this problem, luckily. My scalp produces absolute minimal oil. Nice for when I straighten it, bad for when I go natural.
Ever use conditioner?
Yes! I put it in at the end of my shower and don't rinse it.
My hair needs all the moisture it can get.

Benefits: it shines more (It's really hell shiny: my bf tells me about it ALL the time), the curls behave better, less frizz, more deifnition and shape in my curls, the hair is softer, feels fuller and alive (I have the feeling that freshly shampooed hair feels dead).
Keeping it from getting greasy: I wash with conditionier without silicones. I wash more or less every day (sometimes I skip). Conditioner always does. My hair is never greasy.
Conditioner: Sure, it's my wash-wash.
Anything else: Sometimes I wash with a mixture of my conditioner and vinegar, for extra being sure that my hair is clean but I dont need to do this often. It's rather cuz Im paranoid about cleanness. I do it like once every 3 months. If I do this, I mix equal parts vinegar and conditioner, depending on how long my hair is and then I put my head upside down and comb the mixture with my fingers til everything is totally saturated. Then I wash it out.

Benefits from less shampooing - more volume and curl.
Avoid greasy - it took months of phasing to this regime, but I find my hair's okay if I don't put any product (at all) in it. I even water down the leave-in conditioner to deal with frizz and use it sparingly.
Conditioner - I condition my hair (ends only) 1x per week.
