I shampoo only one a week, and “shampoo” with conditioner the other days. I blot my hair, add some mousse, and then use a broad-toothed comb to comb sections of my hair the way they naturally curl. I let it dry naturally, then rub all over with my hands and then smooth it (with my hands) into my style.
If I really want to go all out, I use a curling brush to define and smooth the curls. Looks great–I get lots of compliments–but it is admittedly in defiance of social taboos. So what.
