I have thick, wavy hair. Mine is fine and frizzes up easily in humid weather. In the winter I can straighten it easily but in the summer it’s a lost cause. I have used Tres Semme MeganControl gel for the last 20 years. I also used the Aussi Gel too. They are both very thick but do a decent job holding. But before I diffuse my hair dry, I always spritz it with Aussi Sprunch Spray (yes the purple stuff from the 80’s). It does become crunchy but I can run my fingers through it to soften the crunch. That’s the only way I can get non-frizzy curls in the summer. Maybe the Tres Semme of Aussi gel would work for you?
