Curly Girl Newbie with frizzy front - help!!

[PlummyBrummy]

I've just started the no-poo (co-cleanse, leave in conditioner and Palmer's Hair Pudding then plopping) method and so far I'm loving the effects, except at the front of my hair. Admittedly I've been straightening the front for years (because of two cowlicks and stupid bits that won't grow) AND I'm just growing out my pregnancy hair but it's just awful! Some parts curl tons (and backwards on themselves and up...) and other bits are really lank and straggly. Has anyone got any tips? The rest is great - it's just the frizzy front...
