I'm a flat iron junkie! I have ceramic irons, steam iron, irons with built in combs. I've had ceramic tourmaline but I have always stayed away from titanium because I keep hearing they damage the hair easier than the others, less forgiving. I want ahead and bought my first titanium iron last year and it has given me the absolute best results. It handled my roots like no other. One thing I did learn is that it needs to be used on a lower temp than ceramic irons. I have found that to be true. I can get straight results on a lower temp. 380 on a titanium iron is not the same as 380 on ceramic. Great video, subscribed!

Huh, that's interesting. I suppose it's something to do with the conductivity of the surface. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm afraid of titanium irons too. I have dense, waist-length type 4 hair. I have a ceramic flat iron and I've tried using it on 410 but it only stays straight for like 30 minutes lol. I'm going to bump it up next time (430-450 deg) and see if that makes a difference. If not, titanium it is! 😂

@@Kmishelle: 430-450 is very hot. Are you using a heat protectant? They usually help silk presses last longer. So does pressing in smaller sections.

I was under the impression by the title that you were going to give us a specific kind of flat iron brand and why you think it’s the best. Thanks for the info, although I’m a little disappointed at the misleading title
@Blackhairinformation2 жыл бұрын
I think the point is that many flat irons fit the description as "the best". The best according to me may not be the same for you. I personally like an extra long cable lenth and teeth in my flat iron. Some people may be more interested in titanium plates and curved edges...

Ceramic flatirons don’t straighten the same as titanium. I can use the ceramic and 450 but it won’t straighten as well ass titanium on 400.

Wow. That’s crazy. I can get bone straight results with a ceramic iron at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. But I have to flat iron in very small sections, use slow passes (one pass is all I need), and use a heat protectant. My silk presses last 3-4 weeks.

Personally I’m relaxed and 410 is best for me, yeah I can get away with 390 but if I want my straight hair to last I use 410 I have course and very thick hair naturally btw but it is relaxed even though it’s not completely straight even with the relaxer it’s more texlaxed
@Blackhairinformation2 жыл бұрын
That’s interesting but it makes sense seeing as you have coarse hair. I really don’t need much heat to get completely straight but my hair is medium to fine and definite fully relaxed not texlaxed like yours.
@lyndawilliams45702 жыл бұрын
I had damaged hair in my 40s due to years of relaxers by stylists with questionable ability / products and the use of high heat “Dominican blow dry”. I now relax and color every 16 weeks with a great stylist who uses the best and safest products on my hair and when I get it blow dry it’s always at low to medium heat followed by one pass hair straightener with excellent results. Please be careful with your thick beautiful hair . I wish I had been in my youth ✌🏽
