Well, those of us who have given up shampoo all have our reasons
I used to find big clumps of hair in the shower drain every time I shampooed, and this has not been the case since I stopped. I see your point--not using shampoo does not necessarily translate into increased or accelerated growth. It certainly won't make new follicles sprout up all over one's scalp--nothing can. On the other hand, I also think that it might just be possible that the scalp benefits when it is given a break from absorption accelerants and other synthetic compounds with effects that are not fully known even to the manufacturers. But then, who knows. I feel safer knowing that the methods I've switched to (egg, shikakai, camomile and black tea rinses, etc.) have been used for hair care for centuries with no ill effect. I also see some real changes for the better in how my hair feels and looks, but, as you said, plenty of people use commercial shampoo to no ill effects. To each her own.
