I actually did an experiment with this and spent months not using shampoo/conditioner, there are even guides online on how to do this effectively for the greasiest stages I think I used baking soda mixed with water to just get the worse of the grease out and not all the time, it did eventually equalize to non-greasy healthy state.... but that got ruined when an event happened in my life that made my stress levels rocket and made hair produce too much oil again so I now try to use very minimal shampoos(less ingredients the better) instead.

Your diet feeds into it a lot too *badum tss*. Shampoo is a bit like antibiotics, they fix the symptoms but the underlying issue is still there. Not using shampoo is taking responsibility for your own hair. Too often people will trade being responsible for comfort, and if you do then...

But antibiotics literally do fix the underlying problem by killing the biological agent causing the symptoms, a better metaphor would be cough syrup fixing a sore throat but not fixing the cause. Sorry, you triggered my autism

They kill the bacteria that was causing the symptoms of illness but they dont address why the bacteria was there to begin with. Syrup is a better metaphore granted but I maintain aintibiotics are appropriate

But the bacteria could be there from numerous vectors until narrowing possibilities

Yeah exactly, those vectors are the root cause of the illness I would argue
