when its soaking wet put a leave in conditioner, a defrizzing glosser, and a curling cream or gel... Just kind of mix them all together in your hands and then run thru your hair scrunching at the same time. Then dry on low heat with a diffuser or let air dry.

Aveda has some great products for curly hair. They're heavy enough to bring down the poof, but not so heavy that they give you nasty, crunchy hair. The line is called Be Curly. My favorite is the Curl Control cream. Just smooth it on damp hair, dry your hair on low with a difuser, and use a curling iron if needed. Another great product for naturally curly hair is Aussie Hair Insurance Leave in Conditioner. its great at getting the tangles out!
