Natural gone Flat-Iron disaster..

[Kiowa]

So I finally plucked up the courage and got my natural Flat-Iron'd. I went to work, and got all kinds of nice compliments about new do..even the WM were cracking me up, talking about my do. I basically just put it in a ponytail, twirled the front over one side..
Came home, wrapped it, silk scarf, and next morning..poof!..It's already started reversion, I had to do some bumping...I used Chi Silk for thermal protection, but didn't really help...What am I doing wrong? I cannot really maintain this, if I end up using heat on my hair every day..

Kiowa, if you applied a leave-in before flat ironing, that could be why. Also how you applied your CHI can be instrumental on how much sweating will affect your hair. See what I posted here.
