It depends how thick your hair is or how curly. If it's very thick or curly then you'll want to take small sections at a time and run it through two or three times.

Don't put it on the highest heat, keep it towards the middle or middle/high.

Don't do it when you're hair is wet at all, because it'll burn off and you'll get fly-aways.

Tilt the straightener slightly in if you want it to curl in at the bottom. If you do it the right way you won't need any other products.

The first time you do it I wouldn't use any products at all before using it because it might burn your hair. Good luck!

I also have extremely thick hair and like others have said the best way is to section it off. Pin some of it up with a clip or I usually use hair schruchi's, and get a straightning hair spray it really helps, and then just make sure that you start from the roots.
