HELP!! It won't stay straight!

I need advice please. :shock: :oops: I use the maxiglide to straighten my hair and it works great. It gets my hair stick straight. The only problem is that it won't stay straight. I've tried using the Pro Tools Ceramic iron and a hot comb (black girls know what I mean). Nothing ever worked as well as the maxiglide, so I'm wondering if I need a better styling product or method.
Ususally my hair will get nice and straight and shiny etc..and then about 20 or 30 minutes later it starts to frizz up and get puffy especially on the ends. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or just not doing. Any advice would be great. I usually use a leave in conditioner by L'Anza and the straightening gel that comes with the maxiglide. I also add a frizz control lotion too.

I love my curly hair.

I am pretty sure it has to do more with the products/techniques rather than the styling tool, especially if it straightens well to begin with.
I have heard many people say that using an oil before blow drying helps a lot. I will have to do that next time and see what happens.

I think that the real problem is that the Maxiglide just isn't getting my hair straight enough to begin with, which is why it poofs so easily once it cools down. This new flat iron gets my hair STRAIGHT! and it stay's straight. I'll post some pics tonight so you all can see what I mean.

I love Pureology Hydrating...does the super straight do as much as the Phytodefrissant (by Phyto) do you think? Has anybody tried both?
As you say, the price is prohibitive but they usually last for ages. Does it make the hair flat and have no body as well, or just makes it straight?
If THAT doesn't work you might have to blow dry your hair straight with a round brush (which will make it look big, but straight), and then flat iron to smooth it out.
Rubbing a tiny bit of serum into your hair afterwards will also make it look smooth and shiny.
Shower: Garnier 3x Nutrition shampoo 1x per week, cowash with Tres Semme Naturals, condition with
GF Sleek and Shine deep conditioner
Styling: Tres Semme Naturals as leave in, L'Oreal Melting gel and HE SMU raked in, LOOB and AG Re:Coil scrunched in, Jojoba Oil scrunched in when totally dry
