I recently had Thermal reconditioning, which I really regret. My hair is way too straight (looks like it's stuck to my head). And although it looks shiny, it's fried!

However before I had this done after washing my hair I would blowdry it with a huge round brush (never use a brush with wire bristle -always nylon), I used a small amount of Flat out by KMS and a small amount of Brilliance by rusk (makes hair ultra shiny and soft). After the hair is dry wrap it all around your head one direction and secure it with a cutout of a panty hose leave it for 15 minutes then do it again wraping the hair around over to the other direction, and leave that for 15 minutes or so.

Because the panty hose hugs your hair agaisn't your head so tight your hair gets very very straight. I works really good. I hope that makes sense...

It's time consuming but well worth it, especially because it will stay straight well into the next few days if you don't get it wet.

The pantyhose should be cut out from the top portion of the let, tie a knott to one of the open ends there should be enough space to fit your entire head into it.

Suzanna -

You're hair shouldn't be fried after a good TR. Mine isn't. It is drier than it was pre-TR, but now that I use the right products, it's healthier than ever. If your hair was overprocessed, you should get your money back from the salon.
