    You can buy anti frizz shampoo and conditioner, so that your hair doesn't frizz after you get out. You can also use coconut oil. While your hair is still wet, you can comb it through with a hair mousse or leave in conditioner, so when it dries it's not so frizzy.

    Even though it is not recommended to straighten your hair because it is damaging, you can using a flat iron on medium heat and brush your hair underneath the flat iron while you are straightening your hair. It is less damaging because you only have to straighten that section of hair once, not multiple times.

    The shorter your hair, the thicker it will be, so try to grow it out and maybe try some hair cream/oil. I recommend olive oil or coconut cream. It will also help, but don't overdo it to avoid greasiness.

    To keep your hair straight after you straighten it, make sure your hair is clean before you straighten it and apply some anti-frizz spray or cream to it. After you straighten your hair, apply a dime-sized amount of smoothing hair oil to help combat humidity and frizz. You can also brush your hair with a wide-toothed comb throughout the day to help it stay straight.

    Community Answer
    Humidity is the arch-nemesis of straight hair, but you can help your hair stay straighter for longer by applying smoothing oil to the ends of your hair from about half-way up each strand as soon as you finish straightening it. You can also spray hairspray all over your hair after you straighten it to help hold it in place. If there's a chance of rain, have an umbrella handy so your hair doesn't get damp and frizzy.

    Make sure your hair is nice and clean before you straighten it and add some anti-frizz spray or cream to help it stay straighter for longer. To protect your hair from the heat of a flat iron and encourage your hair to stay straight, you can also apply a heat protecting spray.
