I just wanted to +1 this - except I don't use anything. My hair hasn't seen anything other than water in 2 years. No soap, not even bathroom soap to wash my hands (studies have shown it doesn't do anything to 'clean' your hands anyway, friction and a good amount of water and you are good to go).
I very very rarely use the purist aloe vera I can find. That's it.
Soap is designed to dry, and removes natural body oils - so it isn't necessarily even an allergen load.
BTW - my hair looks fine. It feels a little different, but I don't look like a grease ball.
