Why? I've known several people who do this, it's totally fine. I'm sure for some people it would leave you with really greasy hair, but otherwise what's the issue? It doesn't smell or anything if that's your concern.
You still wash your hair. It just produces far less oil because you aren't stripping it (and then replacing it with another product). My hair is healthier than ever since I stopped using shampoo, but it still gets washed plenty. I wash with conditioner about once a week and wash with water every day.
You've been told you need to shampoo and that that's normal, but it isn't. It's just a way to sell a product which also requires you to buy another product to reverse the damage it did (unless you want unhealthy hair).
My hygiene is rather good actually. You could stop insulting people when you have no information. That would be nice. Instead you think your uninformed opinion is better than my (and other's) informed opinions.
How do you even have an opinion of this without experience? Why do you even care? Just accept that other people have more knowledge through actual experience than you.
Did you know that most of the cleaning action of hand washing is from just rubbing your hands together under water? Soap improves this, but if you don't have soap you can still effectively clean your hands by just doing the action under water. I'm not eating or grabbing doorknobs with my hair, so I'm not too bothered with it not being as clean as possible (regardless, not 100%). I'll accept slightly more bacteria that isn't causing any issue for much healthier hair.
