Poofy hair?

I'm in the exact same position- poofy hair, 8th grade (and we're doing dance tomorrow =P) but, there's not much you can do to help your hair with out a straightener. What you can do is use sunsilk anti-poof products. I've noticed that it significantly reduces the poof- but again, it's not straight.
