Fine hair and the no-poo method?

in Trying a Shampoo-Free Method?
Hi everybody,
I've got very thin hair. Conditioner can make it more heavy. Are there any girls with thin hair who have tried/are doing the no-poo method? Is it working for your hair as well, or is your volume decreased?
Thank you in advance!
Irene

    I did it for six months and my hair was good. I added the natural soap bars to my routine (which are much milder then lowpoo) and my hair is better.

    My hair's more medium to fine, and I have to low-poo occasionally because of scalp issues. I think I would have to anyway, though, because I tend to get weighed down pretty easily.
    2C/3A/3B - modified CG - fairly fine now, normal/low porosity/normal elasticity

    Current Main Rotation: MG217 medicated or Aim2Health 'poos for scalp, Elucence cond., Spiral Solutions Protein & Deeply Decadent Cond., CJCCCC reg or lite,CJ Pattern Pusha,, Giovanni LA Hold Hair Spritz + lots more, sporadically

    HG Method: Super Soaker + Smasters-ing, brief upside down diffusing w/360o diffuser then clips/clamps & air dry. Newly gray - stopped my henna glosses!

    My hair is fine to medium. I haven't pooed since I went CG. I only condition once a week. Otherwise my hair gets overconditioned and limp. Diffusing and product (ones I use are in my siggie) help me to maintain volume.

    Everyone's hair is different though so what works for one might not work for another.
    Current Products: CJ Products: CF, DF, CT, SG, AFG, CIAB AND CK is back!

    I'm doing the no poo thing, and my volume has gotten better. I have fine and thinish hair. It's working really really well for me.

    I have fine-to-medium hair, and I have a crapload of it, and the no-poo method works fine for me. I've low-pooed a couple times and I'm not averse to it, but my hair is better without it.
