I went no-poo for about 18 months and I didn't like it - lots of ingrown hairs for some reason. But I do agree that shampoo is like a nuclear bomb onto your scalp
I did it for a couple of years and it really didn't work for me either. Lots of weird bumps on my scalp and my hair never got over the nasty, greasy look. I eventually went to just diluted apple cider vinegar and it was better. I just use shampoo now with very few ingredients. I know tons of people really swear by no-poo but it just didn't work for me. Maybe with how short my hair is now, I can go back to the vinegar.
