2nd day refresh

How how how do you guys get good 2nd day hair? I need tips.
Hair type: 2c?, frizzy, lightweight (poofs easily), below shoulder length, thin strands.

Day 1 hair looks fine, 2nd day and 3rd day hair is a frizzy mess, with curls that are kinked in weird places, with no rhyme or reason.

Routine: shampoo and conditioner usually loreal, afterwards some leave in KCKT, and mousse or some curl cream and gel. Either look alright for day one.

For second day I've tried the pineapple and it created such strange and strong kinks in hair I would need to soak with water to get out. I've tried a braid but then the curls turned into frizzy misshapen waves.

I do add a bit of water and add some additional mousse (makes hair rigid) or gel (same outcome). Looks kind of ramen like even after scrunching out.

Would love any tips or routines that work!
