Counterpoint: I made a third attempt to ditch shampoo recently and have stuck with the plan this time. A few times a week I will hit it with some baking soda/coconut oil thing my wife made but otherwise I just give it a good water-only rinse every day. For the first week or so my hair was very greasy and I had dandruff like crazy, but after that it cleared up. My hair feels and looks a lot better, and any residual dandruff and "greasy" feel is far less than what I had while using shampoo. The frizz is gone, and for the first time in my life I've actually had a few compliments on how my hair looks. So, as to how to do it, get a shorter haircut for the transition period, stop using shampoo, and instead give your hair a thorough rinse and scrub instead. You're still washing your hair, just not with a surfactant.

That seemed to clog up the tub drain something fierce and I had to use a plunger and drain cleaner regularly (every few weeks) to get the tub to drain properly. What came up was little caked up pads of stuff, almost as if a bread ingredient was regularly put down the drain. Baking soda alone is not going to clog your drain unless you're pouring the better part of a box at once, and you allow it to dry in place. You probably just have a big ol' hair clog that needs to be snaked out.

If it can be washed out with warm water there's no reason it wouldn't work. I've never had any dramatically styled hair, but with the natural oils intact my hair has a fair amount of loft and stays in place way better than it did before.
