Creating soft waves in hair?

Okay so I have medium length, thick/thin(I have a lot of hair but my hair is thinish to the touch if that makes sense) hair and it just doesn't like to cooperate with me. When I scrunch it with hair gel it will stay wavy for a bit and then fall flat. Is there a better way to do this? :-/ If it helps I use Aussie's spray gel and do this on damp hair. Should I be adding some heavy duty hair spray afterwards?

My hair when its waved:

    Sounds like you have a lot of fine hair and that can be difficult to style. I have the same issue but heat helps so either use hot rollers or a heating iron with a crimper. find a brand of shampoo and conditioner formulated for fine hair so it doesn't weigh it down. A styling product sprayed in when wet might be better to set the waves rather than adding get or hair spray afterwards. Talk to your stylist about adding some layers so that the hair doesn't overwhelm the hair underneath. You want to wear it either blunt cut (otherwise it will show every little difference in length expecially if the color is light) or else have it styled in layers very deliberately. You want it well blended.

    once you have frizzy hair it capacity you want deep moisturizer replenishing. attempt this soak your hair with olive oil wrapped with Saran or a bathtub cap for 3 hours. that's what the pro.'s advise for frizzy hair. As to waves, blow dry your hair with a ceramic hair straightening brush by Goody adn use salt water to spritz whilst it get's 70% dry.
