Have you checked out http://www.naturallycurly.com? The regular site is a bit too geared toward buying products for my taste, but the forum is a bit more friendly and helpful and you might be able to find a specific "recipe" from someone with hair like yours.
You can't really do shampoo-free if you are still using any products with silicones, so that is step one. Get a list of products with no silicones here: http://ladylonghair.googlepages.com/'cone-freeconditioners And you will need to use a lauryl/laureth sulfate shampoo the first time,especially on your scalp, to get rid of the silicone buildup.
Once you have done that, make sure you just don't use any products with silicone. There are a lot of ways to go shampoo-free; you don't need to do it an exact way. Destiny has only been using oil intermittently (I think once, on her scalp, early on). You might only want to use oil on the very ends of your hair, which are usually the driest bits. The key is to keep out the silicones and sulfates and let your hair's natural oils do the hydration. Beyond that, I think you can go in a lot of different directions.
