My hair looks so much better when I don't use shampoo/conditioner.

I know it sounds disgusting but it's true.

I never used to shampoo my hair as a kid, I've always had blonde, fine hair which I mostly quite like but after shampooing it goes really blonde, unmanageable and looks thinner. I still showered daily but instead I just washed my hair with water. During the time when I thought I was losing my hair (I slightly was but I way overreacted, propecia has sorted it out) I started shampooing my hair daily with volumising shampoo in a desperate attempt to make it look thicker. All it really did was make it look like crap.

Fast forward to a few months ago when I was comfortable most of my hair has grown back I reverted to just washing my hair with water again. After getting past a rough few weeks where your hair produces a lot of oil because it's used to getting its natural oils stripped daily through shampooing my hair went back to how it used to be. It's easier to hold in place without using any products, it looks quite a bit thicker and looks noticeably darker (this is only a bonus for me, a lot of people probably don't want darker hair). I've never once been called out on my hair looking dirty/smelling.

Looking online there are quite a few people like me but for the most part it's seen as unhygienic and even just straight up disgusting. I guess I'm just wondering if this is something at of you guys do?
