product help for curly hair

Hi. I have finally (after 27 years) decided to stop fighting my curly/wavy hair. It is dark brown and thick with ringlets on top and less curly waves underneath. My routine is to wash with Biolage moisturizing shampoo and conditioner about every three days or so. For the last couple of days I have been getting out of the shower and wrapping my head in a towel for about ten minutes, putting in Paul Mitchell`s "The Conditioner", and then letting it air dry. The problem is that I have the halo effect - anyone with curly hair knows what this is - those little wispy hairs that just float around your head and never seem to settle no matter what you do. I have been told by another curly- headed friend that I need to use a gel. She told me that she uses Biolage`s Gelee. I am going to try mixing whatever gel I get with some leave-in conditioner and putting that in a spray bottle. My question is - what recommendations do you have for good "non-crunchy" gels that won`t dry out my hair? - and if anyone has a hair routine that they think would work better than what I have outlined here - by all means - please feel free to leave it. Thanks a lot,
AMY

Hey, it`s Amy again. I forgot to ask about recommendations for once a week deep conditioners - something aside from my regular conditioner to use once in a while to really moisturize and "silkify" my hair.

Thanks again

Hey! My fave product is John Frieda`s Dream Curls- its a spray activator/ gel that you can scrunch in and get get, defined curls without frizz. Another great product is Citre-Shine finishing spray- you only have to use a little, and it gives you a great, shiny, no-frizz finish. Hope this helps!

Love,
Ingrid

Lisa - Thanks for the info - where do you find the Aquage line? I live in ... well three states actually throughout the year - Maryland, Oregon, and Washington. Thanks again.
