Can I turn my hair from thick and unruly to smooth and sleek?

I saw a photo of myself yesterday and hated it, my hair, brunette longish bob, which looks fine when I've just brushed it, transforms into a wild mane as soon as I leave the house.

I currently use Aveda black Malva shampoo and conditioner, with frizz ease serum before I blow dry it, and use a babyliss heated ceramic hairbrush every morning.

What products could I try to have glossy, smooth hair?

Kerastace Aura Botanica.
Highly recommend it.

Look on Groupon to get a cheap Brazilian blow-dry. I've done it a couple of times and loved it.

Just thought I'd update for anyone else with the same issues. I've ordered a keratin kit, in the meantime, I was working from home yesterday so I slathered my hair in coconut oil, wrapped it in a towel and left it for 2 hours. Had to shampoo twice to get the greasiness out, then blow dried in sections on low heat. Took ages but... hair is much smoother and silkier, so well worth it.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, it's amazing how a good or bad hair day can impact on your confidence.

If you put shampoo on before water it helps get rid of the coconut oil.
