Hair Relaxer

My hair is thick and curly but not over whelming curl.... I don't know how to deal with my curls. So I thought I could try a relaxer for my hair. I have never done this to my hair before and I just bleached it the other day but I have been doing protein treatments and deep conditioning treatments and it feels fine and I am really impatient and want to try to relax my hair. Has anyone ever done a relaxer before? If so any advice.
