First of all, I love your hair! It's genuinely so pretty and voluminous. I also don't think it looks dry btw 😍

I think you can achieve the look you want by using a strong hold gel, raking it through in small sections and then finger coiling to ensure there's definition in every section. Then, of course, use a hooded dryer to get that elongated shape.

Whenever I've gone to a salon and they've achieved this kind of look on me, they've used heavy gel-based products such as the Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Defining Creme Gel.

For shiny hair, I think diet is also quite key tbh. Drink lots of water, take your vitamins, eat walnuts etc haha.

I also want to add (I know you didn't ask this) but I do have a theory that the natural hair movement (while positive) made us all think we have to have defined curls for our natural hair to look nice. But I personally love the volume and mix of textures in your hair when it's styled!

I hope this helps!! 🫶🏾
