Here's what I do: IRON IT. That's right. Take the iron I iron clothes with and iron it straight. People always gasp when I suggest this. "Oh my God! That will ruin your hair!" "That will burn your hair!" Well, it doesn't harm my hair one bit. People often comment how great, straight and smooth my hair is. They think it's natural - that I just blow it dry and it looks like that. If only! Ironing your hair will not harm it any more than using a blow dryer or a curling iron and I firmly believe it will do far less damage than either of those.
I first dry my hair completely: hair must be bone dry or you're wasting your time. You can set up an ironing board or I lay a towel on my bed and get down on my knees. I take SMALL sections of hair, pull it out taut and slowly press the full length of my hair, starting as close to the scalp as you can without burning either your head or your fingers. Be careful. Using the steam setting will work the best. I set the iron on the highest possible setting to get the best result. If my hair starts going funky from the rain or humidity before I'm ready to wash it again I just iron it again, or "spot" iron what needs doing the most. This takes a bit of practice, but the more you do it the easier and faster it becomes, and the better the result, just like anything else.
Sure, you can spend 10 years trying to get some kind of technique down with a blow dryer and a round brush but I think that's a big waste of time that I don't have anyway. And this works better anyway.
I have ironed my hair about 3 or 4 times a week for the past 20 years and my hair looks fabulous - not burned or damaged in any way. I also color my hair blond and it's all good!

Always rinse with the coldest water you can stand after using a shampoo and conditioner for straight hair. The cold water "locks down" the hair cuticle and makes hair appear slicker, less frizzy.
Use a weekly home remedy "hair mask." My hair dresser told me about this one and I have been hooked ever since. Mix one egg to one part mayo and one part olive oil. Make a paste and apply to hair. Wrap hair in a towel and allow to work at least 30 minutes. Rinse out and shampoo and condition as usual. Hair will have a smooth, shiny appearance.
Blow dry methodically. This can take practice and time, but it is worth it. Use a big round brush that will allow you to smooth your hair as you dry. Always blow in a downward motion. Running the dryer over hair up and down causes the cuticle to frizz and split. Divide hair into sections with curler pins and dry one section at a time.
If hair is naturally curly, it is usually frizzy. The answer to this is to get a product like a "pomade" (try Wal-Mart). Pomades have a low level of hold and have some oil in them. After washing your hair, put some pomade in your hand and add a little water for easier spreading, and then very lightly finger it through your hair not touching your scalp so that you don't get a "greasy" look. Allow it to dry and then comb through it if you want, or leave it if the curls look good. If this seems too heavy, get a lighter one or a gel, but not a mousse. This can work on straight hair as well.
If your hair is permed, bleached or colored, it might look frizzy from chemical damage. You probably need a deep conditioning treatment (but do not use an oil-based one) with some heat. You can try a gel or pomade. Use conservatively because chemical damage causes hair to "grab" products.
You might have hair that is very coarse (which is different from thick). Coarse hair is generally dry and can be frizzy. I would recommend using a hot curling iron. If you like straight hair, use a giant one or a straightening one. Hair is like clothes. When it is ironed, it becomes smooth and shiny.

If you want silky hair you may not get the "straight" hair you want. hair straightening products are ooowwie gluie.
But for shiny hair, when you wash it DON"T pile it on top of your head and rub it! smooth the shampoo (if you have to use it) form top to bottom and brush it through in the shower till there's no more bubbles.
After squeeze hair out, don't twist or pile it or rub it with a towel, than brush hair through in the style you want it add some mousse to your hair brush brush that through and than leave it alone.

Naturally you might be screwed, I mean you can't choose your genes, but you can use hair products!
I would suggest using shampoos and conditioners that advertise making straight hair straighter and smoother. Using hot oils like VO5 help the straighting process go smoother.. and buying a hair drier with a comb attachment really help.

When you come out the shower, take your time and blow dry it straight in sections, this wil then make it softer and silkier and then run it over with the straightners, but make sure you use a protective spray when using straightners and a de-frizz cream after your straightned your hair! :)
