De-frizz my waves

Ladies, advice needed please!

I am currently taking a year out of work and would like to give my hair a break from the straightening and the chignons. My natural hair is beachy wavy but with a tendency to frizz. I would quite like it to just be beachy wavy. What products should I purchase/routine should I follow to make this happen?

Ta muchly!

Daily wetting and conditioning in the shower, followed by Boots essential curl cream, very cheap in big pink tub; it lasts ages and gets a lot of love on MN. Then wrap it in a towel to remove the wetness and just let it dry naturally. Run your fingers through to release any stiffness. It's the curly girl method, but abbreviated!

I have wavy-curly hair and have tried every serum/cream/potion under the sun. I would recommend Label M curl cream. I found with most products, use too little and hair is still frizzy, use too much and it goes stiff and 'crunchy'. You can use quite a lot of Label M if needed and it doesn't have that horrible stiff hair effect. Before Label M I was using Tigi Catwalk Curls but which is also good but you have to be careful not to use too much. Sometimes I use a tiny smidgen with Curl Cream if I want my hair to go a bit curlier.

If you have been straightening your hair frequently, you might find it'll take a while to get back to it's usual wave and texture i.e. don't be surprised if a product you are using will have a different effect in a couple of months.

I would also recommend Frizz Ease shampoo and conditioner.
