13/f i have such curly, frizzy hair and i usually straighten it, but when i want to wear it curly it's annoying. my hair is fine when it's still wet, but then when it dries it poofs up. i've tried a lot of products, so you have any tips or hairstyles i can use on my hair to make it now frizzy when it's curly.
I found a way to stop it fluffyfying (my own word!) so it may just work for you.
I was my hair with Dove Moisturising Shampoo and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle - an absoloute lifesaver for people who use hair straighteners. Leave it in for around 8minutes instead of three and you will really see a difference.
When I get out the shower, I wrap a towel round my hair and squeeze it gently. NEVER rub dry your hair, as this damages the hair. Then I use a hair dryer so that it is damp and not dripping wet and then comb it through with a professional hair comb. NEVER use a hairbrush at this stage. Again, it will damage the hair.
Next I use some Wella Shock Waves Curl Shaping Mousse. I put a reasonable amount on my scalp, smooth it over the crown of my head and use my fingers to work it into the roots. Next, I separate the left side of my hair and half the back, apply a generous amount of the mousse and gently work it through the hair with my fingers. I do the same with the next side.Then I comb it through again to make sure all the knots are out, before blow drying it. As you blow dry, you should always keep the dryer pointed DOWN the hair, as this will help prevent hair from frizzing. I also use my hands to smooth the hair down as I go along. DON'T use a comb or hairdryer to do this as it will make your hair frizz!!
Finally, when it is all dry, I add some Sunsilk serum for Kinks and Frizz (the purple one). Add it in the same fashion as the mousse but, obviously, in much smaller quantities or your hair will be horribley greasy!! Finally, I put my hair up in a butterfly grip and leave it there for a couple of hours. When I take it down, it's frizz free and looks really good, with a deep wave!
Naturally, it won't work for everyone because everyone has different hair but if it works on hair like mine, I'm sure it will work on yours!! [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

I actually have that and it works. It's Garnier Fructise & it's a small bottle but I'm pretty sure that it will work on your hair. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

edit//
it could damage your hair but it didnt damage mine. when your roots grow in just straighten it with a flat iron and it wont like wierd. it will conrtol the frizziness your air wont be frizzy at all. (which is what I like the most) if your really thinking about getting it done then you can ask your hair styleist how much they charge for it and what they think about it. they would know more about it than i do and they can help alot more then me. good luck [ HopefulWishes's advice column | Ask HopefulWishes A Question ]
