I have thick wavy/curly hair, so I don't use mousse because its too volumizing. Instead, I use an anti-frizz cream by Sunsilk, and then a large amount of Garnier maximum hold gel. This sounds like it would look "crunchy" and 80s, but I have a LOT of hair, so it just defines the curls. I scrunch out any crunchiness once my hair is totally dry.
Anyway, I don't know if those products will work for you, but I would definitely recommend checking out Makeupalley.com. They have tons of product reviews, that's where I find out the best stuff to use all the time!
Hmm, well maybe since my hair is fine the mousse would be good b/c of the volume? I'm just worried about it being sticky or frizzy looking after it all dries.
Mousse would definitely work for you because your hair is fine. Some mousses are sticky, but plenty aren't, especially if you don't use too much. I just don't have a lot of experience with mousse because I don't need the extra volume mousse tends to impart.
Like I said, definitely check out Makeupalley.com. Search for mousse with the keyword "curl" and you should find tons of reviews.
I also have fine hair with a lot of wave in it. I actually don't like how mousse makes my hair feel and I think it ends up weighing it down. I kind of have the opposite problem, I find that curling mousse gives my hair less volume. I use this instead:

It defines my waves/curls without being too sticky or heavy. I spray it on my hair when it's damp, then air dry or use the diffuser.
I have thick curly hair but the salon specialist at Ulta suggested Reddken Ringlet 07 to me. It is a sort of gel or something but not heavy at all. I follow it up with a curl enhancing spray. Right now I am trying some Marc Anthony line. I think there is also a mousse in the Reddken like but I do not remember.

I have fairly thin curly hair, yet it looks bigger because of the illusion ;) Love that about curls otherwise I'd have hardly any hair. I too use mousse, but I just don't use a TON of it. I also LOVE Pantene Spray Gel (not hair spray--avoid because of the sticky!). I spray it on when my hair is still wet but not soaking, let it air dry (that's the key to no frizzies) and do. not. touch. your. hair. I find my hair looks best when I don't touch it while it's drying. Once it's completely dry, I play with my hair a bit and if there is any stiff parts from the mousse (usually not) then I just scrunch it out. Us curly haired girls usually have to scrunch to break up the product that's used to keep it in the curl shape ;)
@Curlysue - Do you "scrunch" your hair or anything like that or just let it sit and air dry on its own?
Your hair sounds exactly like mine (fine, wavy, almost curly when it's humid) and I SWEAR by Bumble and Bumble curling creme....rub some in and scrunch up or dry with a diffuser, it's never crunchy or sticky and makes my hair look amazing...I've used it for over 2 years now, love it!
@runrgurl10 - Do you know if they sell that at places like CVS or would I need to get it at a salon or online?
Another fine, wavy haired girl who loves Bumble & Bumble curl conscious creme. Just make sure to get the one for fine hair.
Mousse can be tricky - you can end up with the wet, crunchy look.
Is this it?

I like Curl Power by Sexy hair. Its not too heavy and is for fine, curly hair.

Does anyone know of a good curl defining mousse for someone with fine soft hair that is naturally wavy but not curly?
