It shouldn't be needed, but you can; however, do not do it shortly after as the hair is already somewhat damaged from being relaxed.
YES! I've had three different stylist decide without telling me to use cellophane on my hair with the same result. SEVERE breakage! I am Black and do not use relaxer at all. After the cellophane treatment, it looks as though it has been relaxed with waves instead of curls. My hair then breaks and the only thing that can be done is cutting it off and allowing new hair to grow. The first hair dresser denied that it could be the cellophane but maybe hormones. The second and third said the same thing. But why does my hair grow back and does well until the cellophane treatment is applied?
No relaxed hair cannot become texturized. Once the hair is relaxed is permanently damaged and cannot be reverted back to a curlier or kinkier texture.
I have been a hairdresser for 13 years and I have seen that cellophane doesn't cause damage in fact it gives shine to hair. It is also used as a way treat damaged hair. Most cellophane products contain protein. The hairdresser is definitely correct. Cellophane coats the outside of the hair, causing no damage and is a great conditioning agent. It is not like dye in the sense that dye actually goes to the inside of the hair shaft.
You really cant make relaxed hair curly, you have to have natural curly hair. Don't try anything you can damaged your hair really badly putting to many chemicals in it, trust me I have tried

A cellophane hair treatment is meant to last about 8 to 12 weeks, so it can be repeated about every two months. It actually uses no cellophane, but utilizes a temporary hair color that provides shine and fullness.
Chemically relaxed hair can be styled in various ways, including straightening with a flat iron, curling with a curling iron, or wearing it in different updos or braided styles. It is important to keep chemically relaxed hair well moisturized and to use heat protectant products when styling to prevent damage. Regular trims are also essential to maintain the health and manageability of relaxed hair.
