Right now my hair is HORRIBLE. dry,frizzy,wavy,poofy .... it's everything that you would not want your hair to be. It always "poofs up" if i leave it alone (after showering or putting in tons of water)after about 15 minutes, or if i mess with it. In the end it always ends up looking like kramer from seinfeld,lol and wont go back down (this also happens when i get up in the morning) so i put tons of gel which sort of helps, but there have been times when me & friends are messing around and stuff ,and they are big on giving people noogies(SP?) and messing with their hair so they mess up my hair and it gets all poofy and they have a good laugh. so anyways if i relax it, can i mess with it and will it still fall back down normally??? thanks 4 reading
Relaxation will only give you a temporary straight hair. Also, it does not guarantee smoothness, softness and manageability, just straight. Anyway, after 4~6 months, your old hair texture will prevail and due to the damaging effects of relaxation, if you did not give your hair proper care and treatment after the fact, your hair would turn nastier.
My advice is, hunt for a shampoo/conditioner/leave-in that suits you. Shampoo less (at most once every 2 days), condition more (everyday) and shower your hair with the most tender care that you can give. Also, check your diet.
Healthy hair doesn't come overnight, it takes me 3 years to have hair like yours to the now soft, smooth and manageable one. I do not know if you like G 'N' R but as they say...
...Just a little patience...

Sounds similar to my hair. Have a look at the ingredients on your gel...a lot contain alchohol which will dry out your hair. You could try something like John Frieda Frizz Ease styling creme which will add a bit of oil and conditioner to your hair.
