Any suggestions on how to make curly hair just wavy?

I have pretty thick curly hair (2c) but I’d like to try wavy hair instead of curls.

My current routine consists of shampoo (Pantene nutri-plex), conditioner (same line), and then curl scrunch gel. I sleep on a silk pillowcase with my hair tied back. I am a man if that somehow affects anything.

Any adaptations or additions to get rid of curls?
