Her hair is still pretty straight even wet so I thnk the curl is too relaxed to show itself.

I'm glad you said this because I believe my hair may be very similar to yours in texture. My hair always have a curl/wavy pattern to it when it's wet or dry. Actually when it is wet I have more of a semi-loose curl. The only thing is that when I let it (air) dry it comes out looking dull and frizzy. If I wrap it and sit under the dryer it's really wavy. Whenever I relax my hair it will not straighten out completely even if I use a super no-lye relaxer. I've been debating on using a texturizer to bring out the curl/wave pattern a little more, but I'm skeptical about putting that type of chemical in my hair. For one I'm not sure if you can put that on top of a relaxer. My hair is cut really short right now and I'm in the process of letting it grow back out. I'm hoping to achieve the style that Halle Berry had in the James Bond movie with perhaps a little more texture to it. This John Frieda stuff sound pretty interesting, but I'm going to be mad as heck if I go out and spend money on something that doesn't work. I've been down that road too many times to count.
Have any of you used Mizani hair products? I saw in a magazine that they have what I believe is a new relaxer system that gives you the option of wearing your hair straight, wavy or curly.
