Sounds like we have the same type of hair. What I do is go to be with my hair wet. I mean WET. Not dripping but we enough that it makes your pillow wet. By morning it will be damp. I use Remington Curlers with the wax core. They are the best in my opinion. Roll you hair on the curlers and spray with a leave in conitioner. Let your hair dry completely around those curlers. I useually do my makeup and eat breakfast while my hair is drying. Then take curlers out and grab hair at the base of your neck in back like you are going to make a ponytail. SHAKE the hair. It makes the curls look more natural. Whatever you do though, DO NOT brush the curls. It's best to have your hair put up like you want it before adding the curlers. I.E. if you want to wear your hair in a ponytail, put it in the ponytail first and curl the hair that's hanging. Hope that helps. It's always worked for me.
