Curly hair needs help

Je

I’ve always had natural curly hair, always kinda hated it. Well part of my change I’m doing for myself is learning to love my hair. I need help actually putting shape and life back into these curls. I’ve alway but my hair into a bun with a scrunching on top of my head. Changes I’ve made; claw clip or coil hair tie, haven’t dyed my hair in 8 months, I wash with sulfate and paraban free (it’s free of other items too). I didn’t do well with curly girl so unfortunately that’s off the tables. Any other thoughts would be great. Thank you
