'Relaxing' is a technique used to straighten the appearance of natural Afro-Carribbean hair, which tends to be tightly curled. The relaxer is a cream usually made of an alkali chemical that is smoothed over the part of the hair that is to be relaxed. After a set amount of time the relaxer is washed out and the tight curls in the hair strands become straight, looking similar to the appearance of European or Eurasian hair.

I have really thick curly hair if I get it thined will it poof out that's what my hair dresser said that it will poof out but i don't know what she means by that that it will look like a afro or em?

Yes; it will basically become an afro. I have the same type of hair, and it's only the weight of the length that keeps it hanging vaguely downwards. I had really short hair before and as I was growing it, the fact that the short hair converted into layers as it grew meant that it was actually an afro.
