If you want to run out and pick up some products locally, I recommend trying the following:
- Drugstore: L'oreal out of bed weightless texturizer (black tub, use under gel), LA Looks or Herbal essences gels, Suave naturals or vo5 conditioners, L'oreal vive pro hydra gloss for dry hair or nutri gloss for curly hair, red Cream of Nature shampoo
- Organic/specialty store (like whole foods): Giovanni Direct Leave in condish, Giovanni Triple Tea Treat shampoo, G conditioners, Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose or White Camellia Conditioners, AO B-5 Design gel
- ULTA: Devacurl products, Biosilk rock hard gelee, MOP-c curl defining cream (They also carry drugstore products and giovanni.)
These are all good things I have used, but be sure to tinker around with amounts and how you use any products. For hair type specific products check out these forums:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. However, the most popular ones are usually only available online.
Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:
*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find reviews by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons
*Don't shampoo every day.
*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.
*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape. A leave in conditioner under gel is generally good.
*Avoid terrycloth towels on hair; use linen, paper towels, or t-shirts instead.
*Try plopping to decrease drying time: http://www.wikihow.com/Plop-Your-Hair
*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.
*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying.
*Once completely dry scrunch out any crunchy texture.
Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

the best thing I can recommend is the book Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey. She is a hairdresser that tells how to cut curly hair, care for curly hair, etc. etc. This book has helped me immensely to understand my hair. I personally have wavy hair and use Samy products which I buy at Walgreens to give me poof. I am happy with Samy products.
Here is how I get poof:
I spray a Tresemme root booster on my roots.
I then use Samy voluminizing lotion and serum where I want alot of poof.
I then use Samy voluminizing mousse on my top and sides.
Then I blow dry my hair bent over or use a comb to pull up where I want volume and aim the blow dryer at my roots.
After I get my hair exactly the way I want it, I then finish with Rave hairspray for holding power. My husband hates this because he likes soft touchable hair. (smile)
