I know you don't like gel, but how much/many have you tried? It makes my hair a little crunchy, but I am able to scrunch that out as soon as it dries. If you have curly hair it's one of the best ways to battle humidity. Some good brands of gel are Biotera, Herbal Essences, and LA Looks if you want to try them at all.
Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:
*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons
*Don't shampoo every day.
*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.
*Never use a brush on dry hair, only untangle when the hair is wet.
*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.
*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don鈥檛 know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types
*Avoid terrycloth towels; use microfiber or t-shirts instead.
*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.
*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying
Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

Hope this helps!What products do you recommend for curly hair?
I have natural curly hair and I use Redken Guts! It is great! It keeps down the frizz and gives my curl definition. It want make your hair hard either. Also the best shampoo and conditioner I have found is Curls Rock by Tigi. You can get all these products in a hair salon. They may cost more but its priceless for great hair.
After you wash your hair make sure it stays wet, dont let it dry out!! That is a sure way to get FRIZZ!! Spray the Guts in your hair, dont be affraid to use it! Then flip your head over and dry your hair. When your hair is almost dry spray just a little more guts on to finish it off and then dry the rest of the way! Hope it works for you!
Mantra makes a product called Twist. Its a curl enhancing lotion. Its the only thing that tames my hair down. My clients love it too. go to www.whatsyourmantra.com and check it out!!
I use a combo of Biolage Gelee and Alterna Texturizing Glaze. The gel is so light it doesn't make my hair crunchy.
I use eco gel, it has no alcohol so it won't make your hair crunchy, and I use design line curl lock.
