First Straighten Since Big Chop!

So I decided on a whim to straighten my hair. You know, it's been 4 months since I last straightened it and that was when I did my big chop at the hair dressers. 4 months is a BIG DEAL for me considering I pretty much used to straighten my hair every week when I had my relaxed hair.  I  didn't wash my hair, but I didn't think I had too much product in it.
