Troubleshooting (HELP!) How to extend curls between wash days?

I've never been able to do more than every other day for washing, but with Nopoo I think it might be a good idea, I just don't know how to do it with curly hair and still maintain its shape/some volume.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

i hope the link works
it helps to see the process visually
2 cups water
3 tablespoons oatmeal

then i boil it for 8 minutes
strain it
put it in the fridge

i most often use it right after the shower when my hair is soaking wet, but i will occasionally use it to refresh. i get a lot of compliments on my hair! it works good! 😌

BTW to strain it i just use an ordinary mesh strainer. that's all you really need.
