For when I have a straight style (e.g. rollerset and blowout). When I use a leave-in, my hair reverts and oils take away the bounce. Im not crazy about my braidouts...they dont look flattering on me, I think because my hair is short and also because my edges have super new growth. So the two textures make it look like a poorly-constructed weave.

Which leave-ins have you tried? Your hair should not revert if properly relaxed, are you sure it is reverting?? Is your hair texturized?
Oils take away the bounce in my hair also, which is why I don't use them when I wear my hair down. When I wear it down I use Citri Shine spray laminator its inexpensive, but it is the lightest that I have found and works really well. I have used $25 laminating sprays but nothing compares. For more of a natural shine I use Mizani Shyne...I love this stuff and it smells soooooo good!
