Can you tame a mane of curly and poofy hair?

I have curly hair and although I hate it i've learned to live with it..the way i tame my hair is dont wash it everyday,maybe like every other day.condition everyday though.then after you get out of the shower put a cream leave in conditioner and wrap your hair in a towel while getting ready...then when youre ready to leave take the towel off and voila!your hair will be almost dry and the curls will be soft and bouncy
