Hi Trey,Curly hair is my expertise! I have loose curly hair which I have been fighting with all my life. I've colored, relaxed, and cut it to try and make it more manageable-- but NOT fighting it, is what I have found most helpful. First of all, you will not damage your hair in ANY way by letting it air dry naturally! On the contrary, you will keep it very healthful by forgoing blowdryers and curling irons! Now, about that conditioner-- there are a few that you could try. You asked for just a leave-in that conditions and controls, so I wont even go into gels/mousses. There are a couple of products out there that both condition and control. The first is an old time tested stand by for curls called Sebastian Potion 9! It conditions and provides light hold. A new take on Potion 9 is Paul Mitchell's The Creme- this product has similar effect to Potion 9. Paul Mitchell also makes a styling foam called 'Sculpting Foam with Conditioners'. This product provides medium hold with condition. You may also want to give Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom a try-- very light hold, but really keeps the frizz at bay. For ultimate frizz control WITHOUT hold, nothing is better than Phytodefrisent! Please also check out the Naturally Curly site on the web.
