Bring out my curls?

[Tusenskona]

I have naturally curly hair but with past history of straightening it and everything they started to die down and then I stopped all that and now they're coming back and I'd like to figure out a way to bring out my curls without all those products that makes it look greasy or hard? I just want soft and natural bouncy curls! I already let it air dry and just pay dry my hair and all that to get rid of the frizz. So I got that covered.I just don't know want the typical gross curls that stylists usually give me..Help please?

How tight are your curls?  I've got fine, thick hair with tight ringlet curls and I have found plopping (not wringing my hair dry, putting in a good bit of leav-in conditioner and "plopping" my wet hair into an old t-shirt that I tie around my head for about 20 minutes) and then smoothing my ringlets (I usually just do the front---this is basically just looking for the individual curls the sort os section themselves and running my fingers down them to unite the hairs into individual ringlets).  It sounds a lot more involved than it really is. lol  I got all this here:

I guess my hair tends to be more wavy than tight curls.. I get random ringlets and curls but it usually dries wavy with straight.. It's very random! Thanks for the site btw. I'll check it out.
