Hair Help?

[LunacyFringe]

I have thick, dry hair that looks nice and smooth after straightening but an hour or so later has poofed up, making my head look twice its normal size.

I have tried De Lorenzo's Rejuven8 treatment conditioner as suggested by a hair dresser, but have found that it does nothing for me and can actually make my hair feel coarser.

Are there any products you can recommend that will add tonnes of moisture to my hair, and stop it from forming a ball shape?
(It might also be helpful if the product is available in Australia :))

I use Guardian Angel Heat Protection by got2be i think... Lol. It's a moisturizer/protection spray. It works for me. There's different kinds. I use the "Blow Dry Protection" one but I'd imagine the straightener one would work the same.
