My hair is slightly wavey. The biggest thing that I have learned about haircare is that less is more. I wash and condition my hair once or twice a week, and leave it to air dry. That's all it needs.
I brush occasionally as needed to remove snarles, but not as part of any styling routine.
Whenever I need to shower without washing hair, I just put it into a bun and keep it above the water stream. There are probably better ways but this works fine too.
My neglect styled wave/curls look about 90% as good as when my hairdresser spends 15 minutes with an iron and sprays after a haircut. Better results are possible but not remotely worth it.
Your hair may be different, but I would always recommend trying more less if you haven't already.
