Frizz, waves and thick hair

Well, the title of this message pretty much describes my hair! It is naturally thick, wavy and frizzy, not a good combination. I want to try and get it straight, which is possible with straightening tongs, but the damage the heat does to it isn't worth it. I don't want any product recommendations, firstly because I'm in the UK and lots of this stuff is hard to find, and secondly because I don't use anything containing any animal products, which most styling stuff does.Does anybody have any styling tips? I was told to dry it with cold air but its quite long so it just flies around and frizzes itself up even more! What to do?

The only way I've been able to achieve that look is to blow dry and then use a straightening iron. I despise the damage it causes to my hair as well. The only solution I've been able to come up with is to put a straightener in my hair because humidity just reverses any blow drying I do. I leave my hair long because short do's only allow my curl to be more curly. One thing I find combats the frizzy's pretty well is a spray on luminator or a hair polisher (a good one is John Frieda). I know you asked for no styling products but outside of today's modern technology I have no suggestions.

> I have naturally curly hair. And I know what a problem frizzy hair is. I use gel then I blow dry my hair in sections with a round brush, and then spray it with hairspray. My hair is never damaged and is never frizzy. I blow dry it straight everyday and I have no damage what so ever. People even think I have straight hair. I will give you a tip on how to get rid of the wavyness. I got my hair highlighted and now my hair is not frizzy when I let it airdry and it is not as curly. Getting your hair highlighted will make it less wavy. I hope this has helped you out.
