Keep your hands off your hair. The more you touch it, the more it will frizz. Apply conditioner, comb through it with a wide-tooth comb (in the shower), add more conditioner, rinse lightly (leave some conditioner in), very lightly towel dry, apply your styling products, and do not touch it again. No combing, no scrunching, no nothing.
Scrunching is absolutely the worst thing you can do -- it works great for thin, fine, hair that is mostly straight with a little wave in it, but for coarse, thick, truly curly locks it's a Brillo-inducing nightmare -- those curls, you must leave them alone.
This was the hardest lesson for me to learn, and the one that has paid off over 1000 times in value! My hair now looks great, and the only products I use (aside from a conditioner) are anti-frizz creme (use the cheapest one you can find, every single one of them has the exact same ingredient, which is silicone) and mousse. Don't use a water-based frizz-fighter, by the way, use a heavy silicone one. Don't buy the $20 one, buy the $5.00 one. They are all identical, read the labels.
2. Don't shampoo your hair. This may be almost as bad as scrunching. You can, indeed should, conditioner-wash your hair every day, but only shampoo once a week at most. No, your hair will not get greasy, you should be so lucky, most curly hair is naturally very dry, and has been made more so by constant chemical processing, blow drying, and general abuse.

I have naturally curly hair and always looking for a good product to tame frizz. This week it's Redken All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner. It definitely "softens" my look. Next month (or two) I'll try Redken Smooth Down.

I always use Suave. I used it my whole life and it works great for my hair. My hair is thick and wavy because of it. For you, I also suggest the conditioner. It would make your hair less knotty and help the frizz an little. Go to a hair cuttery and they sell this "oil kind" substance that keeps the frizz away. It works great. Good Luck! :)

It really depends on your hair texture and/or ethinicity. But I use Hairobics Shampoo & Conditioner and Paul Mitchell's detangler.

I really like Garnier Frutice, I have curly thick hair and it works really well, you can also use hot oil treatments occasionally to bring down the frizz.
