Conditioner is meant to restore the moisture to your hair that shampoo takes. It makes sense that by only using conditioner your hair felt greasy.

Conditioners are designed to completely wash out of your hair with just water. It wasn't that the conditioner wasn't getting washed out, it was that at some point it was insufficient to deal with the grease issue.

At least it makes a whole lot more sense than trying to wash your hair with just water, which is completely incapable of getting rid of grease.

I think the point of the experiment is to get rid of all chemicals. Like for shampoo, you don't know what the effects of the conditioner are, and what would happen to your hair.

Well obviously I wasn't following his experiment. It was from a book on how to deal with my particular kind of hair (which is rather difficult).

In that case it's pretty disingenuous of you to claim that "In my experience, this does not work," seeing as you did not, in fact, experience this.
