Hair products to maximise natural curls/waves

    My hair has natural waves/curls in it but they aren't very defined.
    I just use shampoo&conditioner for coloured hair and let it dry naturally after combing (i usually don't blow dry) but is there any product I could use that would maximise the waves/curls? Scrunching gel holds it quite well but I'm looking for something more for daily use

    Thanks :)

    I use Salt Spray! Literally just spray, ruffle hair, and leave to dry. It can make your hair knotty though if you're like me and never brush your hair :D If I ever feel the need to brush my hair, it's with a paddle brush or a wide tooth comb.

    I get this Umberto Gianani one from Boots.

    The brand sometimes comes up in the three for two or discount voucher deals, so I'd also recommend the Glam Hair Mousse as well. I find it brilliant for a massive curly look.

    I have curly hair too, and the girl that does my hair recommended Alfaparf S4U Twist'r Curl Amplifier

    I find it's excellent - defines curls without the crunchiness or stickiness of other products. AND it has built-in conditioners, so when I wash my hair after using it my hair feels silky soft. Highly recommend!

    I have the same kind of hair and I used samy shampoo and conditoner for curly hair and it really did define my curls, other than that I find mousse is great for getting a bit of defintion and smoothing down frizz on a day to day basis, am currently using nikki clarke mousse for curly hair and its doing the trick.
    also last week out of curiosity I rubbed a bit of bio oil into my hands and ran it through my hair while it was damp, couldnt believe how curly and shiny it was the next day

    I like the salt spray too, the Lee Stafford one is good. It's way easier to use than creams etc, as another poster said just ruffle and go ;)
