Relaxing the hair... and I need your opinion to make a choice?

I don't have african american hair, but your typical annoying hair that freezy and curly and poofs up as it dries. I want to get it relax from the salon but i don't want it to fall off more than it already is. I have never chemically had anything done to my hair, but i really want straight hair, or atleast tamer hair and I was relaxing would do that for me. What would you advise? Any products that I can use ( and where can i get them? ) that would give my hair a nice smoother look w/o strands of hair that fly out?

I know what curly hair will not be staright unless i chemically damage it, but I really want some straighter hair that'll last until I take my next shower to re-product again...

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Dont use a permanent relaxer with Lye in it! Itll burn your scalp. If your want a permanent relaxer, go get it done @ a salon, profesionally. the results usually last for 6-8 months. I have curly/wavy hair and i got it done and its awesome. just DONT do it yourself!!!!!

Use Infusiom hair care products by Procter %26amp; Gamble.

That hair line is made for your hair.

Use warm water to wash your hair.

Hot water will dry it out even more.

After you rinsed your conditioner out of your hair, rinse your hair again with cold water.

Blot your hair gently with your hair drying towel.

Don't rub it, and/or squeeze your hair, you'll damage it.

Don't blow dry your hair, you'll dry it out and/or damage it.

um well im black and i dont relax my hair. i blow dry/straighten it sometimes even though i like my natural hair better....so i really dont think youll have a problem just bow drying/ flat ironing your hair. but make sure you use like a thermal protection creme b4 you apply any heat. loreal has a good one but there are tons out there.

and why is your hair falling out??!! that might be an issue!! go to a salon and ask someone for help.

but if you MUST get a relaxer AND your hair is damaged or falling out, its best to go to a salon and have a hairdresser do your hair. well actually if youre hair is damaged or falling out its best not to get a relaxer but thats up to you. just make sure youre very clear about what you want to the hairstylist. sometimes they have a tendency to do whatever the hell they want : (

theres also this thing called thermal straightening that works for white ppl and others with finer hair..its like youre hair is PERMANTENTLY straight until it grows out.
