I know some people here wash only with conditioner etc. but does anyone here wash only with water? A boy my parents knew who had very beautiful long hair only used water on his hair and apparently it looked fantastic.

For a few weeks this year and in 2003, I tried it. I had to switch to ACV-only because that cut down on the grease that built up after 2 weeks. I don't get much greasage but it still builds up if you wait two weeks. 

but hats off to those who can work with water-only

I think your skin has to be on the normal to dry side for that to work.  I can't do it with my oily skin.

Gah!  This would never work for me.  I can go a week between washes but by then it's starting to get greasy at the scalp.

I was on TLHC and they had a long thread about it (I started this one before I knew about it) and I'm thinking I might try it next summer.
