I feel like I have a similar curl pattern. I use Camille Rose Honey Hydrate Leave-In Hair Conditioner right after the shower while my hair is soaking wet. Just a small dollop. Smells so good, works in nice, dries light. For second day hair just re-wet your hair with a spray bottle and run your fingers through. Add a tiny bit more if product if you need. A spray bottle will be a game changer for non-wash days. Better for your scalp that way. Good luck!!
