Sorry to burst your bubble, but this doesn't work.
1. Your skin produces oil.
2. Your skin produces less oil when there is oil buildup.
3. Your skin will continue to produce oil until it reaches some final buildup amount.
4. Saturating your skin with oil will not make your body respond in a way that will auto-eliminate the oil buildup.
5. If you do manage to wash off all the oil with water and no soap, your body will produce oil just as rapidly as it did when you used soap.
There's absolutely no benefit to not use some shampoo or at least soap. It takes longer to shower, and you don't have the benefit of the nice shampoo smell and the cleanliness feel. You're also more likely to house microorganisms in your hair, and the oil is likely to remain on your clothing and your pillow and whatever you put your head on, including your girlfriend's shoulder if you have one. When the hair starts falling off onto your floor, your room will smell like crap.
If you want to know what that smells like, you can do a self-experiment that isn't as disgusting as trying out this no-shampoo crap.
1. Don't shower for two or three days, or until your hair is oily.
2. Then get a haircut, or at least cut some of the hair off.
3. Save the hair in a plastic bag.
4. Add some water. (don't flood the bag, just enough mist to keep the bag moist)
5. Incubate the hair for a week in room temperature
6. Open the bag whenever you want to smell the final product.
Tell us what it smells like after you've tried it.
