When I do it my hair is damp. I smooth it back and tie a silk scarf around it for a little while. Then I remove the scarf and wah-laa it's nice and smooth. I try not to deal with too many products.

your hair is very obedient. Mines is naughty.

toothbrush + gel + scarf = tamed edges - stumbled upon it last month - see my album.

No. I really think you should try it first and see before you load up on products. It might work for you.

Place phhb over head(it sits on neck looking like a choker)Wet hair, rub coconut oil or shea butter through it. Brush it up(w/ my head hanging upside down). I cut head bands from pantyhose(phhb) and pull it up. Let it air dry, maybe tying another scarf round it to smooth it down. Done! You then get the puff in the small avatar

Loonatick and Catsuga, I will def have to try that Fantasia. 
I have natural hair that won't tame right either. So at night I use S-Curl Activator Styling Gel (blue & grey jar), Let's Jam Maxium Hold, & Kenra hairspray. I place a stocking cap on my head and sit under the dryer for 1 hour. I do this all at night. Now this process is only for special occastions or going out.
But during the week I use Let's Jam Maxium Hold Gel with a scarf on.

I use a watery leave-in (Biolage generic) mixed with oil every day---so leave in, and then Citrishine Curl booster, or world of curls around the edges, and I wear a scarf for the night, and I'm ready the next day. I've tried just wetting my hair with water and using a scarf for about 10 minutes, and that works if I'm in a hurry; however, I'd rather use products because my hair swells with humidity, and we have plenty of that here. I generally do not use a brush. I just smooth my hair back with my hands, which works fine if my hair is fairly wet.

Most Leave-In Conditioners that are kinda thick will help to lay down, like Target had some African Royale Mayonaise (or something like that) for $.98 about a 3 weeks ago, needless to say I used that stuff up and it slicked my hair back good, loved it, but I love Fantasia Ice Pommade, that stuff works wonders and Dudley's has a wave and curling wax that is great, but it's hard to find.
