Since it is mainly a leave-in conditioner, I would think it is safe to use on relaxed hair. I thought they quite making it though.
Here is a site with comments from 32 people that have used it:

Well I found it at the grocery store. I had never heard of it before.

I first saw it at a local drug store several months ago and then they stopped carrying it. My wife works with a woman that used it and she said she can no longer find it at any local store and has to order it on line. I thought they quit making it but maybe our local stores just stopped carrying it.
I think it did a good job on her hair - the highlights are quite nice. She chose a color just one shade lighter than her natural color. She says she used it for nearly a month before seeing any change at all.
I did notice the number of on line reviews that mentioned it turned their hair red/brassy. That cerainly is not her experience (but everyone is different). I think if you don't try to go too light, it will work fine. ;-)
