Braid it in sections after you wash it and after it is completely dry unbraid it.. Best to do right before bed and leave in all night .. Putting moosse in it will will help too.. do that before you braidHow to get wavy or curly hair if you have really straight hair?
perm.
Curly - perm (its the only other way i know besides a curling iron)



Wavy- Curl booster spray...
For a natural curl look for straight hair and you don't want to use tongs*, I would tie your hair up in a bun. When your hair has been rough dried, comb through with some serum (I recommend Nicky Clark WeatherWorks), and then tie it up in a bun. When it's dry, let it loose and voila!

* I have very straight hair and when I use tongs, I just randomly wrap a few 1 inch sections for 10 seconds and spritz a mist in the air and walk through. (You can use tongs to do your side bangs, in the direction away from your face) It's simple!
