There is a product out there called Control Freak Extra Extra Straight by TIGI. You apply a small amount to a small section of hair, and blow dry each section until you've done your whole head. It's supposed to make your hair pretty straight, and if you touch it up with a straightener, it gets even straighter. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking about getting it for when I go to Europe so that it takes less time to blow dry and straighten my hair.

You can buy it at CVS Pharmacy, and other beauty supply stores for about $15.
