I have naturally curly hair that's fairly long. I towel dry after washing. Then, I brush it while it's still wet/damp. After that, I scrunch in a modest amount of mousse. I never blow dry my hair - to do so would cause an huge frizz ball. Because my hair will sometimes dry funky if I just let it air dry, I immediately pull it up into a bun. Then, after 20 minutes I'll let it down for a few minutes...then put it back up. Somehow it works for me. To combat the wispy little flyaways, I use a small amount of TIGI Bed Head Hairstick. It's like a tube of wax. It's a tad expensive; but a little bit goes a long way.
