I love reading the Dr. Bronners bottles, though I'll admit I rarely pay much attention to them now that I've been reading the same thing for years on end.
I used Instead for a while. It was great when it worked, flood-land when it didn't, and that was often enough that I didn't stick with it long term. I've heard DivaCup tends to be better in that respect. It also tended to irritate me after using it for a few days.
Probably part of the reason your hair gets oily is because shampoo strips the natural oils, encouraging overproduction. A lot of people go through a big greaseball period for the first month. I didn't much, but probably because I'd already weaned down to shampooing only once every four days or so.
