I've been doing straight-edge no-pooing (no honey, no baking soda, no vinegar, just rinsing with water) for a month now. I color my hair with henna which was quite a challenge since I'm not shampooing. The last time I colored was 2 weeks after I stopped shampooing. I found it very drying. My hair lost all of the oily build up that it had acquired and got all fly-away. The color took just fine though and so far (it's been two weeks) seems to be holding just fine.

My thought is that no 'poo would be less 'corrosive' on the semi-permanent colour than exposing it to shampoo chemicals. Give it a try!

I have not seen this, in any no poo advice, but you can quite successfully wash your hair and body with honey. It's actually quite pleasant. All the no pooers blogs I've seen have a sort of baking soda, vinegar mix.

I've decided to skip the shampoo and conditioner--so far on day 5. I just braid it and stick a hat on so I'm not tempted to mess with my hair and feel how gross and oily it is.

I'm not real big on intermediate steps, honey, baking soda, etc, so I'm just going to see how it goes scrubbing with water.

I still use shampoo, but I got down to use it about once in 5 days (I want to get used to a week of no washing). I use semi-permanent dyes, and it's been ok. The color lasts for longer if you don't wash that often too. I am thinking of switching off completely, even though the shampoo I'm using now is very delicate and natural. I might try the baking soda method...
