If you choose to blowdry your hair, always use the lowest heat setting on your dryer. Remove as much moisture as you can by towel-drying before you start to blow it dry. Work a quarter-sized gob of gel or a half-dollar sized gob of mousse throughout the hair first. If the hair is especially dry and prone to frizziness, here's one of my favorite tricks. I mix equal amounts of gel and pomade in my hands and work it through damp hair before drying. It is sometimes helpful to flip your head over and dry the hair upside down. This method gives added volume. My favorite styling technique for curly hair is to set it in large rollers. This is wonderful if you have overly curly hair and you want more of a wave. This method takes more time, but the results are well worth it. After removing the rollers (not curlers, as they are often incorrectly called), break up the curl with your fingers and a slight amount of wax or pomade to add definition and shine.
I always like to finish a curly or wavy style with a shine spray or glossifier. I prefer Rusk Shining spray and Artec's Neroli Sprayshine, which has a wonderful aroma. For defined curls without too much shine, you can use Paul Mitchell Spray Wax, which is a terrific product that is alot of fun to work with.
