I need my curls to be shiny!?

First off, you want to use a really good conditioning mask. Hair is dull when your cuticle isn't lying flat and your hair absorbs the light as opposed to reflecting it. I like the L'Oreal Professional Absolut Repair mask or Biolage by Matrix Strengthening masque. Use it every time you shower, and leave it on for 5-10 minutes in the shower. Make sure there's some steam action going on because heat helps with deep conditioners. Also, try to avoid using heat. If you absolutely have to use a blowdryer, use a leave in conditioner and then cocktail a serum and a gel and run it through your hair. Mist it after adding the product so your curl can reform. Then diffuse on the lowest speed your dryer has and use the medium heat (if your dryer doesn`t have medium heat, use the high heat but make sure to blowdry it upside down). There are also a lot of shine sprays on the market- Garnier has an awesome one that makes your hair super shiny. Hope this helps!
