Hi!
I think starting off with the basic would be a good thing to do. Just be careful, patient and gentle with the hair - styling, washing, etc. Protective styling is also a very common thing here, particularly updos held with hair sticks/forks/ficcares/flexis/spin pins/etc.
Everyone is different, some find going cold-turkey to be a breeze, others find gradually transitioning (i.e. every other wash with no-poo, or switch to sulfate-free first, then no-poo, etc.) to work better, and some find no-poo to not work at all! I've been through a lot of washing methods - sulfates, sulfate-free, mudwashes, soap bars, COwashing, WCC, WC, CWC, stretching washes to every 3-4 weeks to washing every day, etc. I found, for the most part, my hair doesn't care if I'm no-poo or not, it really just comes down to just being gentle with the hair and decent ingredients for the products you do use.
It's a YMMV (your mileage may vary) sort of thing. If you want to stretch your washes, I think the best/fastest way is to just tough it out with greasy hair, but again, YMMV.
