Welcome to the board. First and foremost no one "needs" a relaxer, don't believe the "hype"!

Secondly are you growing the relaxer out? Thirdly if you want to occasionally wear it straight I would suggest roller setting it on very large rollers, sitting under the dryer and then wrapping your hair. Your hair will be straight with a lot of body.

Hope that helps.

ITA with the rollerset suggestion...

Just get it blowdried and flat ironed when you want it straight. Otherwise wear your curls or a bun.

Be careful with flat ironing and pressing-as they could damage your actual naps. I would say go for the roller set from time to time.

Ditto! Be careful of the heat! If you can, do a conditioning wash and go and use silk scarves, ponytails, phonytails, buns or any other type of protective styles until your hair grows out!!

I rollerset then curl and it works well.

Ditto. The rollerset sounds like the best option for you.
