Hey Flo! first off welcome . Before straightening I would advise that you use a heat protectant- it puts a barrier between the heat of the iron and your hair, to save your hair from some damange. If i were going to flat iron my hair first I would wash and condition it really well, then i would comb it out while it was wet and let it air dry. If you want you can blow dry it straight (using the heat protectant.) then i would flat iron it in small pieces about an inch or so thick.
The only heat protectant i've used if the V05 one and it seems to work fine.
