Welcome

I answered (or actually no big help) on the other thread.  We do have many curly people here, hopefully one of them has some good suggestions.

I think they'll have to know what your hair is currently like.

It seems to me the main thing is to leave curl strands undisturbed while they are drying.  So that they hold together instead of frizz/flaring out.  Depending on your hair, I don't think gel is necessary ...g
