Okay, so, you don't want stick straight hair...you want volume but a do that's not frizzy. There are two ways you can do this!
You can blow-dry your hair as you normally do, I'd use a sleek cream, to fight against frizzies as well as a volumizing mousse, but only use it on your ends. After blowdrying, go plug in the family iron. The one you get wrinkles out of clothes with. Use a hand towel, folded to protect your hand with and place is over your hair on top. Take the iron and put it under and run along the length of your hair. A iron does not get as hot as a flat iron that you use on your hair, so it won't have the drastic straightening affects, so it'll let you keep some volume.
Also, you can use a curling iron. Put it on a medium setting and "straighten" your hair with it. It's round so it gives a lot of volume to your hair.
Butttttt...if you just want to use a flat iron and keep it silky straight: when you straighten your hair, start at your roots and as you start to pull the flat iron along, pull it up and down, rather than straight down, that adds height to your roots thus creating volume. I'd also invest in a volumizing spray for finishing. You just flip your head over and spray it in the roots, flip back and finger through.
A good way to keep volume for days is to take a loose scunchie, pull you hair ON TOP of your head. Not a little to the back, but on top of your head and sleep with it that way. IF you're hair gets really oily, use baby powder.
Hope I've helped, I might have rambled a little, but it's late :-)
Good luck!

I'm sorry but I don't know what girl you're talking about but if you showed me a picture I could help you more. Anyways, to get volume with straight hair.. it's pretty easy. Shampoo & condition your hair. Towel dry it and add some volumeizing moose & then blowdry it. After that, straighten your hair in sections. Once you're done shake up your hair so it's not "perfect". If you want more volume, tease your hair in places that you want. After that, spray hairspray about 3 inches away from your hair and just use your fingers to create a bit more messy look so it's not stick straight.

ive been asked things like this because i have hair kinda like that. i cant promise you that its exactly what you want, but it does have really nice volume, smooth-ness, and it's not board straight, its nice and straight in a natural-flowy way.
i suggest products like head and shoulders, and scalp therapy from nioxin. those are the greatest. and volumizing shampoo from neutragena works too, but it tends to be hard to brush unless you use excessive amounts of conditioner.
1. wash your hair in any way or fashion, i suggest leaving your shampoo in for two minutes and your conditioner in for 1-1.5 minutes.
2. get out of the shower and wrap it up in a towel.
3. brush your teeth, wash your face or whatever when your hairs in the towel to pass time.
4. take the towel down, brush your hair out really nice and smooth, then put it back up.
5. do something to pass the time again for like 3 more minutes.
6. take it out, part it with a pen where you want it, then brush it again.
7. the front layers of your head need to be dried first. take your brush and scoop up the bangs or the layers that compliment your face and brush-dry them.
8. then flip your hair over, and then dry it. kinda move your head around in the process so you can get it all.
9. flip it back up, brush it goood. then while you straighten it, brush it through after each straighten. like, make your hairbrush follow your straigtener.
=] have fun and good luck!
