Co-washing/no-poo/low-poo products for straight hair

My hair is very straight and soft so to keep any body I walk a fine line between too clean (soft, flat, fluffy, shapeless) and not clean enough (limp, dull). On the advice of my hairdresser I've been co-washing more or less exclusively for two or three years. If I keep it just the right side of actually dirty I don't need to do much to make it look good. I rinse in between co-washing which helps but eventually some kind of actual cleaning has to take place.
Superdrug Extracts conditioner has worked pretty well but seems to be unavailable (possibly discontinued?) and I'm wondering what else I should try. Obvs I need quite light products that rinse well, ideally cruelty-free.
Anyone else doing this for straight hair? Any products you'd recommend?

XHC Ginger conditioner, £1 from pound shops/B&M. Dunno about the cruelty-free though.

Herbal essences paraben and silicone free.
What is this washing style you are talking about?

Lady similar to Curly Girl (sulfate/silicone free, washing with conditioner instead of shampoo). To clarify, there is no actual poo involved Grin

Lol!
I don't use poo on DD1 hair as it's curly and dry and it does much better.

Alberto balsam conditioner new ingredients are silicon free. I use Johnson's top to toe wash for low poo

Lady yes, same sort of thing.
Bohomie great, thanks.
