Same, although I've been going for longer than two years. Honestly, I cant really remember when I stopped use shampoo. But if I don't shower for a day, it starts looking a little greasy. I have lots of straight fine hair, run the water and my fingers through it rigorously in the shower, and then I come out, scrunch it with the towel (dont rub, it will break the hair fibers) and then air dry. Get compliments on my hair all the time.
As for smell, it just smells like hair. It can get slightly more pungent if I dont shower, but otherwise it just smells like me. Every once in a while I ask my full-poo GF to check if my hair smells because my own noseblindness, and she hasn't told me to go shower yet.
Definitely when you go from poo to no-poo, your hair is extra greasy. I don't know the science behind it, but it seems to over produce oils and takes a couple weeks to normalize. During that period I was showering once in the morning and once at night, again running my fingers and water through my hair for ~2-3 minutes straight. After a while my hair didnt get so greasy.
When I use soap or shampoo, my hair loses all of its body and shine doesn't go back to normal for a day or so.
I imagine for some people this works, but for others it doesn't. I do feel a little weird when people ask me what my "secret" is and I'm literally like "yeah just don't wash it lol"
i think it might just be that it "feels" greasy, as you move from using shampoo, to not, but as you move from not using shampoo to using shampoo, you'll notice how dry your hair is after using it, and if you condition you'll notice how "greasy" it is as well.
