Is “mini relaxers” like keratin treatments, hair smoothers and texture release worth it?

Sorry about the title! I know these are probably all different treatments with different benefits and what not. I’m new and have never put anything on my hair!

For starters, I LOVE my natural hair! Braids and wash and gos especially being what I wear most. Lately, i’ve been seeing a lot of advertisements and content for “mini relaxers” aka keratin treatments, hair smoothers, texture changers etc etc etc that change your hair pattern and make it more “manageable”. I wouldn’t mind having my curls be a bit looser, but not at the risk of damaging my hair or not being able style it how I want. Most advice online is from straight naturals, which is just not my lifestyle.

These treatments can be expensive, and if any, I want to choose the right one that would make wash n go’s less intensive and promote overall hair health and growth. is it even worth it?

Sorry for blurry photos. I don’t have an up close of my hair that isn’t a video
