No Shampoo aka "going poo-less"

I first heard of "going poo-less" off of a podcast where Paul Wheaton and some lady named Jocelyn talk about there own experiences using, or should I say not using shampoo. What pecked my interest was when Jocelyn was talking about how she use to have problems with here scalp getting, I think she called it eczema. And having to use shampoo that was $15 a bottle.
I personally have had that experience. I got this area of my scalp that itched and was always raw or scabed over. I finally went to my doc and he said it was some kind of fungi and he told me to us this over the counter shampoo. It went away and hasn't come back yet. But boy oh boy what a pain.
I also read a article on Mother Nature Network called Bubble Trouble. Very good. She talks about how her hair evolved and mistakes she made with her hair. She said she was counseled to "shampoo" with conditioner ounce a week. Also she says that "brushing every single night makes her wavy hair too straight, but 100 strokes twice a week helps to distribute the natural oils evenly."
So after thinking about it and wondering about it...... alright I'll try it. So I'm going to write about my experience and post pics of my hair. I'm going to add updates as the weeks and months go by. That way my whole experience will be on one page. I like picture so Im going to be posting a pic every two weeks. We'll se if that's over kill or not.
So here is my hair now. It has shine, body, and it's wavey/Curley. Problems I have are: dandruff, itchy scalp, frizz (as you can see) and occasionally spots that fill like pimples.

2 Week Update

I forgot to mention above that before I started doing this that I was only shampooing my hair every other day. So it's been 2 weeks now. The first week I was a little embarrassed by my hair and wore it up when I went to church. But this last Sunday I wore it down and my hair didn't feel so weird. My hair is diffently different. I noticed I don't have dandruff, my scalp has not been scratching my scalp. But I have noticed that weird tacky felling when I get my hair wet. I have been brushing my hair 100 times ounce a week and using just a quater size amount of conditioner ounce a week. As you can see from my pic below my hair still has body but is not so puffy. And you can see the waves in my hair more. It is still a little fuzzy at the top.
