I have tried 10000000 mousses and this will always be my favourite. It's got great hold but is never crunchy. I use it for wet styling and occasionally on refresh days.
Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Mousse - SheaMoisture | Ulta Beauty
This curl smoothie is the only product that keeps the frizz at bay and helps me get great definition - without weighing my hair down too much. I use it when my hair is dripping wet before wrapping in a towel - nice and squishy!
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream | Ulta Beauty
I use Argan oil to scrunch out the crunch on wash days, as well as on refresh days on my hands while I shake out my curls, and a light gloss over the crown to add shine back in.
Redken All Soft Argan-6 Hair Oil | Ulta Beauty
This is a refresh day saviour, I've tried a million products and techniques but nothing restores order without adding crunch or stringiness like this creme. I glaze over to top of my hair, then finger coil key sections that have lost definition.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème
The Maui Moisture shampoo/conditioner duo have been a long-time favourite of mine - sulphate free and hydrating. Also love how affordable it is.
Maui Moisture Curl Quench + Coconut Oil Shampoo
The Maui Moisture shampoo/conditioner duo are an all-time favourite; sulphate free and hydrating. Also love how affordable it is.
Maui Moisture Curl Quench + Coconut Oil Conditioner
This is my curl gel (applied on wet hair, first thing out of the shower). I like the hold, price and packaging (I use the mini version of this for travel too).

This brush is great for separating, shaping and defining curls during wet styling.
Denman Curly Hair Brush D3 Black & Red
OK, this is not a cheap hari dryer! BUT the Dyson is so much quicker and gentler than my previous dryers/diffusers, I really can't go past it. They are easy to travel with too.
Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer Prussian Blue/Rich Copper (3 attachments)
The BEST thing for keeping your curls intact overnight is a silk bonnet! I can't recommend it enough. This store has loads of styles and sizes to suit your needs and hair length/volume.
Pure Silk Hair Bonnet
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is sooooo good for your skin and hair (curly or not!), I'd recommend having 2 or 3 to rotate between :)

A nice, roomy shower cap is key to not undoing your hard work between wash days.
