Making my curls looser?

[Finendandelion]

So I have 3c/4a curls and had to cut my hair really short earlier this year. The grow out is not going well - any length I get just springs up and looks like a giant poof. Any suggestions for styling products that loosen up curls or just how to manage during this grow-out stage?

Heat styling isn't an option for me right now unfortunately.

Thanks for any advice!

#Living Proof Curl Elongator Conditioning Cream 8 oz/ 236 mL I’ve heard it’s a bit crunchy but it works
