My hair isn't curly, but it's thick as all get out. (So I get all of the annoying thickness without even having anything attractive about it - like being able to be curly if I am motivated to do so.)

I'm trying to grow my hair out right now and it's going horribly. I'm to the point where it's too long to look right when I put all my random goopy sticky products from the salon in, because I used to be having a messy spikey look. Now I just want it to lie down. When I just blow dry it, the crown is still static-y and cow-licky that it stand straight up and waves around (but only random strands, not all of it, so that it might be cute). So I have no idea what to put in it to make it calm the hell down.
