I don't have curly or really wavy hair (just some natural wave), but I use Herbal Essences Straighten Up (I think that's the name of it - it's in a pink bottle) shampoo, conditioner and mousse, plus I use my straightener on my hair, layer by layer, and use some hairspray on it as I'm straightening it. I've heard that the John Frieda straightening shampoo works well, but that's out of my budget, so I've never personally used it.
The stuff you are talking about, the chemical relaxer, is for ethnic hair, I believe, so I'm not sure how well it would work with non-ethnic/textured hair.

I used to use Herbal Essences for straightening, but I realized the Shielo Hydrate line works SO MUCH BETTER! I use the Hydrate Conditioner and then when I style I use their Leave In Protectant (antioxidant) and it makes my wavy hair so perfectly straight.

I have looked high and low for a good shampoo. You can guess I have tried many different ones. The Made from Earth Peppermint Conditioner is the best I have ever used. It leaves my hair silky and full of moisture. It has a light smell that is not cloying. My hair looks so healthy and feels so strong.

I've been taking the Dr Max Powers Burn for two years now. It was recommended by my doctor after I stopped smoking and gained quite a bit of weight. I lost 60 pounds but also dieted vigorously and exercised regularly at the gym on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Also, not only fried chicken and fried food have fat. Any kind of red meat has fat content. Rule of thumb for me is if calories from fat are high, I take a pill with the meal. This Dr Max Burn is a lifesaver but it only works with diet and exercise.
