Hair Products: Going Curly

I have been testing a few hair products this season, because I'm having static problems and can't be bothered straightening my hair all the time. I should note that my hair isn't really that curly, but kind of fine and has a bunch of waves if I don't straighten it with a round brush and hairdryer. My objective has been to find a product that I can apply to damp hair and scrunch to enhance the waves. By the time my hair is dry, I would like the waves to be somewhat defined and shiny.

Here are my thoughts on a few products that were recommended to me recently...

Brand: Bumble and Bumble
Product: Grooming Creme
Price: $30 at Sephora

• sticky, thick and difficult to apply to dry hair
• pleasant scent
• weighed straightened hair down, and didn't do anything useful for a wavy look 
• more of a finishing cream than a styling product
• final word: skip it - I returned it!

Brand: Bumble and Bumble
Product: Texture Hair (Un) Dressing Creme
Price: $30 at Sephora

• sticky, thick and difficult to apply to damp hair
• pleasant scent
• resulted in a wavy, dry, tousled look
• the look improved over time, without much effort 
• more of a finishing cream than a curling cream 
• final word: try it - I'm keeping it!

Brand: Bumble and Bumble
Product: Curl Conscious Defining Creme For Fine Curls
Price: $33 at Sephora

• lightweight and easy to apply to damp hair
• resulted in soft and somewhat defined curls without any effort
• did not result in a glossy finish
• final word: I tried a sample and will consider buying it
• note: for this price, I'm going to try a John Freida Frizz Ease gel first for $13 - apparently this stuff provides a glossy finish!

Brand: Living Proof
Product: No Frizz Wave, Curl Styling Cream
Price: $30 at Sephora

• lightweight and easy to apply to damp hair
• pleasant scent
• resulted in a dry, messy finish
• this product didn't do anything for me
• final word: skip it - I'm returning it!
