For those who like texturized hair and isn't set on having bone-straight hair...i always spritz my hair with aphogee green tea restructurizer the morning before I get my hair relaxed. This has consistently kept my hair from being bonestraight which is hard to do since i use mizani regular lye, which is very good at straightening my hair. I guess i relax for manageability and versatility, not to achieve bonestraight hair. I also apply a generous amount of oil to the length of my hair. And maybe 5 days before my relaxer i do a deep cond with emergencee and then follow with hummectress... which im sure isn't anything new to you ladies...
