my fav is called Noodle Head - cream and activating spray by Beyond the Zone. Also their curly hair shampoo and cond are great. Last year I went on a "quest" to find what worked well with my hair, tried all the big name, and expensive brands, and this worked the best hands down. You can get it at Sally's Beauty Supply, and it's pretty cheap. Good Luck!

My favorite product is Curl Souffle from CURLS. It is a cream that has a lot of moisturizers in it that keep my hair healthy and in place. It smells like vanilla also, always a plus! I really like all of their products, but this is my favorite. I also use their curl enhancer styling lotion that helps my hair stay curly all day long. I saw they are producing a new product called Spiral Curls Cream that works like a gel but still moisturizes. I haven't tried it yet, but I can't wait to buy it!
I really hope this helps you on your quest to find the right products!
You may not believe this one, but Redken Cement #22 works great to keep my waves and curls in line. I only use a pea size amount and warm it up between my palms and apply from front to back while scrunching my waves/curls. Nothing else has held my curls/waves like this product. I put this in my hair when it is almost dry.
I also use L'Oreal color vive shampoo, Pantene Full and Thick Conditioner, Neutrogena Silk Leave In Cream to detangle my wet hair, and then the Redken Cement.

I use a combo of products, since I'm not only caring for my curls, but
also thinning (MPB), colored hair, a hairpiece, and very long hair.
I use shampoo/conditioner from John Freida's color-treated line for
redheads. After shampoo, but before conditioner, I use Nearly
Natural, which adds moisture and "life" to my hairpiece, but also
moisturizes my curls.
I use either Pretti Slik or Infusium leave-in to keep the curls
hydrated, then Smooth N' Shine polisher to kill frizz and definie
curls. A small dose of Curls Rock Curl Amplifier and Small Talk
"thickifier" (both by TIGI) helps to lift the roots and add
managability in terms of thickness. For hold I use spray gel from
TIGI or volumizing mousse from Pantene.
After scrunching and blowdrying I use Aussi Sprunch Spray to really
boost the curl and volume, and Thicker Fuller Hair aerosol spray for a
finishing spray once I've got my style in place.
I like Bumble and Bumble (for fine curly hair), Kiss my Face products for hair, or some of the Devashon stuff. Products are tough with curly hair, I think I have tried everything. It really depends on what type of curly hair you have, course, fine, wavy, super curly, etc. A lot of curl products are for people with course to medium hair, but if your hair is super fine, like mine, they will weigh it down to much. the members of www.naturallycurly.com rate a lot of curly products that are good for different curly types, and that is a fun site to check out.
