You could always use Matrix Curl Life. I used to use that when I used to leave my hair curly. But now I love to flat iron it with this new cermaic/tourmaline flat iron I got called Sedu, and it doesn't damage my hair which I love. I recently bought this new shampoo and conditioner though made especially to get your hair shiny and softer. The shampoo is called NIOXIN Smoothing ACTIVES and the conditioner is called Joico K-PAK MOISTURE. I didn't try them out yet, but will do so today. They're professional salon products though so I expect them to do a good job!
