Natural 4s, what is your straightening technique?

I'm growing out my heat damage so I do NOT want to go back to that.
What do you do to protect your hair from permanently losing your curls and kinks.

Straightening tool step 1 (meaning drying the hair i.e. blow dry?) or do you skip this part and air dry?
Straightening tool step 2 (hot comb, Maxiglide etc., marcel)?
Heat protectant? When do you apply this? How much do you apply?
What temp?
DIY or salon?

HELP?
