For what purpose? Shampoo is for ungreasing hair. A great alternative is water. Any soap is for bonding with fats. You could start washing your hair with shampoo less often, like once every month or so. But imo it's fine with not washing with shampoo at all. Just water. I have to say, I do not have a job where my hair gets dirty. I wouldn't recommend stop using shampoo when you work in a coal mine or as a firefighter for example. Also, I do wash it with shampoo after I swam in open water or a swimming pool for example. Washing away chlorine and bacteria.
Oh yeah, any kind of dusty or gritty job shampoo is a requirement. Having natural hair oils is like inviting trouble in those situations. I tried to go the route of just water and my pillow slips noticeably suffered.
My pillow suffers far less from bodily fluids since I stopped using shampoo.
Yeah.... But mine started developing a ring of concrete dust and I got tired of looking like a dingy anime character. Bodily fluids were not my problem.
I've been using natron (backing powder) for a couple of years now twice a week. I had no need for shampoo ever since. You just mix one tablespoon natron with water in a cup and are good to go. To even out the ph of the hair use a teespoon of cider vinegar mixed with water in a one of those spray cans used to water flowers. Works well for children as well, as none of this burns your eyes. As a side effect I stopped getting red eyes from using shampoo.
Pro tip: shampoo is supposed to go in your hair, not your eyes.
