Emily - I'm probaby about 50% grey as well (at 38). I've been dying my hair since I was 20!!

To keep my hair clean, I use a number of different things...lemon juice, conditioner (I 'wash' with conditioner and then rinse it out), some natural mixtures, and then every 4 weeks I color it and the color I use actually works as a cleanser as well. It's amazing how much softer and smoother my curls are now that they aren't stripped and constantly trying to absorb moisture from the air!! I happen to have very thick hair that when left natural, tends toward big 'botticelli' type curls. This technique doesn't work as well for girls with fine or straight hair (I've had friends who tried).
