I have the same exact problem, and have been on a neverending mission for years to do exactly what you want to do. I think I have found it.
For curly days:
Start with Sunsilk De-frizz shampoo, its new. Its the green bottle. They also have a leave in conditioner which is also a gel. I know you don't want to use a product, but honestly you aren't going to get the look without it. I like this stuff because it doesn't make your hair feel gross. Its soft and manageable. Finish with Garnier fructise sleek and shine serum. Do all of this while your hair is still damp. Then you can either let it air dry or use a difuser on your dryer. No brushing! Use your fingers or a pick, but don't pull on the curls.
For the straight days:
Use Redkin smooth down heat glide and a flat iron. I suggest using a ceramic one because these tend to not damage the hair as bad. Blow dry with a straight brush to remove most of the moisture if you have a wet to set, or completely dry if not. Straighten in small sections paying attention to the roots. After all of the hair is done, again use the Garnier serum to touch it up and make it shiny. The key is to pay attention to the root and if you have really thick hair the underside because that is what will curl up first. Hope this helps.

I have thick curly hair, i understand the problem. If your straightening it you must use a very hot blow dryer. Bio silk hair serum a dime size amount it what i use and i have very long hair. Use a ceramic round brush and make sure it is absolutely dry before going anywhere. If you want on humid sticky days use a ceramic hair straightener but u must use olive oil for hair as to not damage it. I would blow out and night and freshen with a flat iron in morning.
If your going curly, i definitely suggest tresme mousse, however if your that opposed to mousse, you can use bio silk rub it on ends and use vavoom hair glaze only a small amount so you don't get sticky but shiny control able curls. Just remember none of this will work if it damp rainy or extremely humid out, put on a cute baseball cap, and go.

This should help:
It seems that if we have straight hair, we want curly. If we have curly, we want it straight. Growing up in the seventies, we did everything we could to straighten our hair, even if it meant using the iron! Today, I am presenting you with an easier way to straighten your curls.
* Wash and condition hair.
* Blot dry. Hair should be almost dry when you begin.
* Gather up hair into several sections and secure or clip hair on top of your head. You will be drying the bottom layers first.
* Follow the brush (with your dryer) down the sections of hair as you straighten each section and be sure to keep the dryer moving.
* Take down a new section of hair and proceed as directed above.
* Work your way up the layers until all sections are dry and straightened.
* To curl the ends for a polished look, take your brush and pull the ends under. Finish your styling with a blast of cool air if your hairdryer has this capability.

easily, i think of people who say flat ironing your hair damages your hair interior the long-term is stuffed with it. definite, it does reason some injury however the wear and tear to that hair is the two replaced via new hair that grows in while that hair falls out (using fact it is typical to lose 50 plus products of hair an afternoon), or grown out and decrease. this is totally detrimental in case you do not use a preserving product. in case you get a sturdy product, your hair could be high-quality. It would not regulate the way your hair grows interior the destiny. And only using fact somebody has hair, does not recommend they be responsive to something approximately it. in case you desire to maintain straightening your hair, confirm you're using a sturdy warmth protector product and its being calmly dispensed during your hair. to boot, placed your flat iron on its maximum putting. i be responsive to that sounds like this is going to do greater injury, yet what makes greater sense? Going over one area different circumstances with a decrease warmth, and frying it many times and frying off each and all of the product preserving it? Or going over it as quickly as on a extreme putting? additionally confirm you're starting to be your ends trimmed oftentimes. if your roots are broken attempt getting a deep conditioner to help restoration your hair. and consistent with danger a scalp scientific care. It stimulates the follicle to help hair develop, removes build up, and it feels dazzling. once you're nonetheless having subject concerns, pass see your hair stylist, they could propose some thing which you will boot. do not constantly believe a number of the stuff human beings say at right here. they only re-hash the comparable solutions for each guy or woman, throwing out random data that have not got something to do with your question! sturdy success (:

Use lots of conditioner and avoid shampoo with the sodium laureth sulfate and other similar detergents. Be gentle. Don't brush it dry and avoid those yucky silicone products.
I use a really light gel mixed half and half with aloe vera gel and maybe a touch of spray gel ( I like the stuff with glitter) on humid days.
Love your curls, don't abuse em! It may take a while of being gentle to your curls to make them look good, but it's worth it.

-Invest in a quality flat iron (such as a ceramic or jade iron). They are quite costly, however the outcome is worth it. Cheap irons (some claim to be ceramic but really are not) will tend to pull at your hair and really fry your ends.
-Use a straightening product to really enhance the straightness. I find that Beverly Hills Crazy Straight works wonders. After using it, my coarse hair is really soft and sleek.
-Don't blow dry your hair right away, let it air dry for awhile and then blow dry it. I find that this helps in keeping your hair soft.
-Finish with a shine serum such as TEX Shine Spray. It gives your hair a nice, glossy look.

humidity sucks for straightened curly hair doesn't it. John Frieda has a great serum for curly hair you can buy at walmart. Put it on wet for curly hair and blowdry with it for straight hair. I love it.
