Is it that bad? Everyone says it's horrible and really damages the hair and stuff.... should I do it or not? My hair is sort of dry-ish wavy, curly, frizzy... all in one. And looks great straight.

It can be really bad for your hair, but especially if you don't take proper care of your hair.

What you may need is a texturizer or curl-releaser rather than a relaxer but your hairdresser can recommend based on YOUR type of hair which would be best. Getting a relaxer is a matter of need not so much a want. It's definately not dangerous BUT it comes with a long list of guidelines you MUST follow to prevent hair loss or damage. For example, you can no longer wash & leave your hair to air dry--after a relaxer you must wash & set your hair everytime. Also, no more bleach or highlights & hair color must be demi-permanent (for chemically-treated hair). Bottom line, after a relaxer, you must remember it is a permanent chemical treatment & must be highly maintained to prevent breakage.

hair relaxer damages the structure of the hair, but you can use alternative ways which can reduce the frizziness in your hair

Just keep flatironing... hair looks really ratty and damaged when chemically straightened. Same goes for permed.

It does. Straightening, painting, and washing hair every day ruins hair. It's because lice like clean scalps.
