Im afro caribbean quater indian How do I get my Hair curly without heavy activator gels?

I am afro caribbean one quarter Indian. At the moment I cornrow my hair at the crown and just wet the rest and use activator gel to give it a pretty curly wavy look. I have used ordinary gels but they make your hair hard and stiff even the gels without alcohol give you split ends. My hair is a cross between mixed race and afro hair. After its washed I can put a hand full of activator in my hair and it looks gorgous but activator can be sticky. I'm not keen on straight hair. I can get my hair straight with fructics sleek and shine serum. but my hair is thin. Any suggestions?

Try heated olive oil or some ordinary conditioning cream, no gels or sprays they are all sticky. rub the above on your hands and gently apply to hair help it along with afro comb. I am caucasian but I have had afro perms and this is how I managed a gorgeous look.

Good luck.

Buy some mousse, wet your hair then put some mousse in it and then scrunch your hair up and voila! your hair will be curly.

If you want it hold afterwards spray some gel hairsray in it.
