If you have wavy or curly hair, I feel you. We don't have the luxury of jumping out of the shower and not putting anything on our hair. Our hair needs maintenance - whether it's adding a serum, a leaving in conditioner or styling lotion/gel, depending on the hair's texture.
My hair is neither thin nor thick. It's kind of in between. For many months, I had stuck to a simple combo: The Kerastase Elixir Ultime - which is a serum with...silicones, and the L'oreal Paris Ever Pure Moisture Leave-In Conditioner with Rosemary Mint. I would add a pump of the Elixir Ultime from mid-shaft to ends and then I would use half a pump of the L'oreal leave in conditioner to "scrunch" my curls. The finish would be soft curls, but they could get a bit crunchy if you add too much of the leave in conditioner - which is actually a light gel.
If you happen to live in the US or you're visiting soon, you should check this product out at Whole Foods.

My Personal Opinion
This has replaced my old combo. I now jump out of the shower and just use this to style my hair. Today was the ultimate test: it was my sister's birthday and we walked about a mile and a half with Florida humidity while my hair was wet (one of my biggest pet peeves). I was very impressed at how my locks dried soft and frizz-free (no crunchiness or wet looking hair). Love it, and strongly recommend it.
