Mine didn't get greasier, but it didnät get any drier either. The conditioner did build up nad made my hair heavier, so I needed to clarify regularly to remove the excess. The build up I had was waxy, and looked and felt a bit like greasy hair.

I'm trying CO for the third time now. Guessing that it should be a charm!
This time around it's working better than it did before. I've only kept up with it for a month and a half though, and I realize now that I need to do use diluted shampoo for my scalp every third wash or so. Maybe it'd be better if I could find the perfect conditioner for my hair, but I'm dead set on making it work with the ones I already have at home. Or at least making it work okay until I finish the bottles and can try new ones.
The most important thing for making it work for me is rinsing. I'm rinsing like a mofo now, and what used to take about 2 minutes of rinsing with shampoo is now 15 minutes with conditioner. While I rinse I massage the hell out of my scalp too, which works fine.
It really shows if I missed a spot or two!
And I have no idea why, but my hair is such a pain in the butt to detangle now. It has never been fun to detangle, but now it's way worse than it ever have been. If anyone have a solution to that, please let me know!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it has been super helpful. I tried CO for a while a couple years ago and it was awful, it left my hair greasy and heavy. I am going to attempt CO again here soon, following the "proper" method and will hopefully have better results.

I do a co wash every 2nd or 3rd wash and it helps keep the curls in much better condition. I also throw in semi-regular moisture treatments and an occasional change of products. My hair likes the variety. That said, my greasy hair nearly vanished after I started oiling my hair so for me, CO is entirely for extra moisture when I need it.
So...knee?
Everyone's already answered the scalp thing. I'll say the first time I did co, I was using a silicone conditioner, and it did not work that well. But this time I'm using Trader Jo's tea tree tingle, and it's working much better. I only get greasy when I put too much other crap in my hair.
