Leave in conditioner for blonde wavy hair

I am 49 and have been straightening my hair for ever. Decided to stop recently and go natural as I had some hair loss after a bad shock. I am very happy that my hair looks a lot thicker and I also enjoying seeing myself in waves and some curls. However it also looks unruly and often like a haystack! I use a wash out conditioner and have been using a spray in which does improve it somewhat if I wear it in a messy bun. I would like to wear it down more and need a product that's good for loose waves and curls.

Any suggestions? I am in the USA so please suggest international brands or those I can get on Amazon as I can't pop to Boots or Sainsburys! We have Sephora and Ulta nearby if you are familiar with them.

My hairdresser recently recommended Joico's Beach Shake spray and I've been really impressed. Gives lovely texture to curls and doesn't make the hair feel sticky.

i use the john frieda frizz ease dream curls range, they have mousse, texture spray, hair spray etc. I too recently decided to stop straightening and let my hair be curly and natural and this is the best i've found so far. HTH

I have blonde wavy hair and find Cantu products are v good. Tbh I just use a small amount of ordinary conditioner and smooth it in my hair after washing. I also use a sports towel to dry it ( so the non fluffy type ) Cantu also do a nice coconut smelling curl cream which I've just started using which helps d fine the waves/curls

Look up the curly girl method.

Your regular conditioner mixed in with some olive oil, almond oil, any oil (as long as it's not for cars!) makes for a good intensive conditioner.
