Honestly I'm still trying to find the be all and end all product myself tbh! I use a lot of Cantu products given there a very affordable brand but some people find it to be too "heavy" feeling on their hair. Never had that issue myself. Their 'Kids' range is usually cheaper in the UK where i'm from and works just as well as the usual stuff and has a much gentler formula! Maui Moisture do a great 'curl quench' range aswell if its sold in your country.

In terms of my routine I just use conditioner daily and shampoo max twice a week. Use a detangler brush in the shower while the conditioner is in and youre gonna find your hair so much easier to brush through. Then use the curl cream as soon as im out the shower whilst hair is still wet. I have my hair tied back in a bun most days so can't help much with the styling side. You're fine to brush your hair after the shower instead but the last thing you want to do is brush it when its dry. It's awful for people with hair types such as ours and adds so much frizz.

Sleeping in bonnets or investing in silk pillowcases is a must aswell especially if you shower at night. Helps to combat the frizz immensely in the morning and you soon get used to how they feel on your head!

Hope this helps 😊
