Well, your hair looks very thick and very unmanageable. However, I would advise you to do the straightener first and that usually costs anywhere from ($65+) and I say that high considering your length and thickness. A cut usually runs ($13+) depending on where you go. and some places have up to 5 foils for a pretty decent price (where I work it's $3.00 per foil up to 5) then it starts climbing after 6 and of course most places charge for length as well. I honestly think that you can get a relaxer put into your hair and it will be less frizzy and of course all over the place. I will also say that you should wait at least 2 weeks to get your hair highlighted so you can give it time to get all the chemicals from the relaxer out of your hair. If you do it the same time there will be noticeable breakage off the red part. Also get a deep conditioning treatment done to put back the proteins that were stripped from your hair while relaxing. Do not do a vo5 treatment as they do not work(oil and water= don't mix well together). Before you do get a relaxer because it does sound like its your first time doing one, you should get a patch test done on your arm to make sure that you will not be allergic to the relaxer. And for recommended products for your hair I would advise using the Mizani thermasmooth shampoo and conditioner after your relaxer. It's honestly a great product. Good luck to you.

The salon I work at prices range depending on the stylist. For a partial highlight and cut its about $120+. I would be careful about highlighting and then relaxing your hair. Both services combined are very damaging to your hair, and your hair could break off. But depending on what kind of relaxer you do it could be another $100-$800.
