I have a hard time believing that a ceramic straightener (I'm thinking of a regular sort
of straightening iron) or a styling product would have any kind of reaction with the
henna.

However if you use a chemical straightener (lye-based, no-lye, perm solution etc.)
then you have a risk that the henna will react with the chemical used.

For hair texture I'm the wrong person to ask, as my hair is the exact opposite of yours
- stick straight with very fine strands. On my hair henna provides some extra volume,
which is a positive thing for me. I believe this is what most people experience.

I also believe I have read that for some curlies the curl pattern is a little relaxed by
henna and thus easier to manage. This is only hearsay though.
