I'm black and 1/4 white and my hair is very curly and gets very frizzy. I can wear it curly and it kinda looks like Kelis' old hair but it's a tangled mess by the next day. I usually just straighten it but if there's even a chance of rain it frizzes up.

I suggest that you look into Carol's Daughter products or just go to a good salon the specializes in African American hair of all types. A good conditioner helps with the frizz as well as a light pomeade.

Prep the hair w/ a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner; lack of moisture is the reason that curls frizz.
If you want to wear your hair curly w/o frizz I would reccomend a line of products from tigi catwalk called curl booster (look at sources box). I would use the creme and the curl activator spray. Then I would use a diffuser to dry the curls; scrunch as you dry to keep the shape. Then you could rearrange a few strands w/ a small curling iron.
If you want to war it straight pin stright. Use a dryer with a pic attachment you can get at sallys it looks like this

Then get some hair serum like biosilk or proclaim from sallsy and put it in your hair. Section your hair no bigger than a flat iron ( I would reccomend a professional flat iron w/ tourmaline ceramic technology) and then smooth through making sure you direct it in a downward motion. After you are complete spary with a humidity resistant spray like mizan to help it last throughout the day.

I'm half black and white, my hair is very soft and curly. It gets extremely frizzy in humid temperatures and dries out easily.
I used to use mousses which seemed to hold nicely but at the end of the day my hair was dried out. Also gels did the same thing, they just damage the hair slowly. You need something that will work, yet nuture your hair at the same time. That's why I suggest salon products only.
I can't really call my hair dry now, since I've been using salon products. Yup, they're expensive but worth it. Using cheap shampoo fries your hair. A cheap conditioner is ok but you should get salon shampoos for your hair type.
I personally use a serum (like a creamy gel) from the salon, it's called "curls rock amplifier" and I don't need to use much, just a nickle sized amount. It works awesomely.
Theres no point in using a salon product though if you are going to continue using store brand shampoo, so invest in a good one and watch out for sales at the salon! Usually a sale means the product has gone bad or old and they won't refund you! Trust me. I learned the hard way.

If your hair is still natural try looking at the products at Ouidad.com. Especially the Climate control gel and Curl Quench products. It's important to follow the directions for using them to style the curls.
You don't rub a towel on it after shampooing so as not to start frizzing. Start with it pretty wet and wide tooth comb or use a pick to detangle. Large sections starting from the underneath working up are gently raked throug with just 4 fingers making ringlets in the wet hair with Climate control gel that look like big, wet, curly noodles. When all the hair has been sectioned in the fingers in this way and it all looks like big, wet, curly noodles a good cup shaped diffuser is used on an upright head (not upside down) without touching or pushing up too much on the hair. No fingers in the hair. They'll just break open the "wet noodles" and frizz into a big afro. This can also be air dried at this point as long as you keep the fingers out.
After it's thoroughly dry the drops are rubbed into the hands and starting at the front. the palms with closed fingers (so as not to break those ringlets open) are pressed over the surface bringing everything back in a pony tail in your palms. run your fist with closed fingers down over the pony tail to the ends. This "mashes" the stiffness out of the ringlets without opening them into an afro.
