You might look into the “curly girl” method, don’t worry about the name it’s just what it started out being called in the 80-90s. It helps people with any texture besides stick straight hair tame the friz. It’s been pretty helpful for me to allow my actual curls out without being a puff ball. There’s a community driven Google doc that has the concepts and best products. It wouldn’t surprise me if you actually have all wavy hair, many people find that once they stop using products that weigh down hair, their hair texture increases.
That looks like a whole bunch of potential for next season!
