I can't wait to try these tips! I have really curly hair naturally so I am willing to try quite a lot to keep my hair tamed.

I've tried the "rattle and shake" method, but it doesn't work well for my very fine, wavy hair--makes it ratty looking. Leaving it to dry in larger sections naturally, without touching it except for the crown, works better for my hair.
