I highly recommend a book called "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey. It is a great resource for encouraging waves and curls.
If your hair is wavy, use shampoo only a couple times a week, and rely on conditioner the rest of the time. I really like TreSemme's curl conditioner (even though I can't remember the name right now). Check labels. You don't want any simethicone or dimethicone (basically, avoid -cones). The curlier your hair is, the more porous it is. That makes it more sensitive to chemicals and detergents. Shampoo is a detergent.
It may seem weird to not shampoo much. At first, it did for me, but then my hair started to be a lot healthier than it ever had. When I do use shampoo (if I've been out in 120 degree heat and sweating a lot, or otherwise gotten my hair filthy), I find it is more likely to frizz and tangle, and it actually feels oilier because my scalp reacts to the shampoo by producing more oils to replace what the shampoo stripped away.
Do not blow dry your hair. Dry it gently with a towel and let it air dry the rest of the way. Using a good gel (I like cream gels, have one made for curls by Garnier) and scrunching your hair will really bring out the waves/curls.
Using these steps regularly will encourage your hair to have great waves/curls and be really healthy.

You probably need a conditioner more so than a special shampoo. Aquage has some awesome products. They're a little pricey (curl activator conditioner is about $13 for a small tube) but they last quite a while b/c you only have to use a little at a time. If you can't bring yourself to spend that much money on a high quality conditioner, try a Pantene ProV curl activator or frizz buster conditioner, then follow up with a gel or hair serum from "Frizz Ease". I use their products and can't live without them. Hope that helps.
