Did you clarify to remove the cones before starting cg?
If your hair is straw-like, that indicates a protein overload. You can do a wet stretch test to find your protein/moisture needs. You may need to adjust your products if protein is a problem.
Glad to see your positive attitude.  I had a rough transition, and a rough ride of using wrong products, but it was worth it in the end.
