Hello PrettyFlyLady! What a cute username!

Well, the Curls products are designed to work on haair that is transitioning, texturized, relaxed, or natural. And, you can use tem right away after you get them home, without any down time.

Applying a texturizer over your relaxed hair is okay. The ones that I am talking about are the lye/no-lye ones) and not a curly perm (i.e. Jherri Curl). As, curly perms contain the chemical ingredient "Ammonium Thioglycolate" and this ingredient would cause your chemically relaxed hair to fall out. Importantly, it is a highly alkaline ingredient itself. And, the only way that it could be applied to your hair is if it were 100 percent hydroxide (sodium, calcium, or lithium) free at the time.

Before texturizing your hair, please make sure that it has been at least 6-8 weeks since you last relaxed your hair. As, new growth usually appears between 2-4 weeks of relaxing your hair. And, that is when a lot of people (who do use chemicals on their hair) like to apply a chemical relaxer or texturizer to their hair in order to make the new growth blend in with the rest of their hair. However, relaxing or texturing your hair again after 2-4 weeks would be damaging to your hair in the long run.

I would suggest you starting off with the Transitioning Diva Kit. But, if you want to start out with a smaller number of products and then try out other products (at a later time), then I suggest you get the Curls Quenched Moisturizer and Curls Milkshake. Also, just make sure that whatever cleanser you are using at home is sulfate free or does not contain ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate in it. And, after washing your hair always make sure that you follow that up with a deep conditioner.
