Matrix makes a product called Sleek Look, bright orange containers. Even here in dry Denver my thick but fine, wavy hair has a lot of curl to it. This product works! Shampoo, conditioner, deep moisturizing masque (twice weekly deep conditioning), and "extreme" styling creme for blow drying the hair straight. Dudes it works. It's a whole smoothing system. There's even a spray to hold the hair in place. I'm in the public eye all day, every day, and can't really wear my growing locks the way I want in public. I have to be neat and tidy instead. These products give me lots of control. I have a Conair styling brush that helps as well. In time when my 4" long hair is longer, the weight will pull much of the curl / wave / wiggles out, but till then, this is what I use and I'm pretty happy with the results. I'd say I spend about 10 minutes on the hair each day, after my shower. Not bad for an all-day look. And most of the straightening I do remains the next morning--yeah, sleep-hair, I know, but still, relatively straight! A litle brushing and it's okay for weekend stuff when I don't want to look "professional". Good luck.
