Thank you

[@kristamcsween2467]

Thank you so much! Question. For black fine hair but lots of it does price and type of flat iron matter. It’s so overwhelming with all the different products but I do want to invest in a good quality iron

[@tehaniakana1584]

Sorry! Which product heat protection is the best?

[@barbiedoll5766]

Thank you. I needed to know this . I have coarse hair so I guess I'll look for tourmaline

[@kristamcsween2467]

Does cost matter when it comes to purchasing flat irons. There’s a huge range and the Revlon is definitely affordable. I have fine hair however it does say it’s a ceramic tourmaline mix.

[@chocolate82467]

"You don't even bake cookies at that temperature" had me laughing! Thank you so much for the explanation. Even though I don't use heat on my hair often, maybe once every few months or so, I was in the market to find something that would work well with my fine 4c hair. I now know I shouldn't even look at titanium. Hope you're doing well. 🥰

[@GetGlamFam]

Yeah titanium can do some serious damage if you aren’t careful! Thanks so very much for watching!

[@pualenaisz4403]

​@GetGlamFam So what if you have a titanium iron and yr hair is low porosity, medium strand thickness... What temp should you use? Or on a tourmaline? What temp should you stay on? Can you give to 400? Is it necessary...for a good silk press?😬

[@Moi_81]

@@GetGlamFamI made that mistake from a beautician doing my hair. Gave me the worst heat damage in my life.

[@r.ct.l1639]

So if not 450 then what temperature 🤔

[@luke184lisa]

🤣😆😂🤭

[@m.lowery]

Omg! Someone finally explained the difference between flat irons. I've had a titanium iron and, yes, it burned my hair more times than I can count. I've also had ceramic, which took longer to get my hair straight. Now I understand why and the options that are on the market. Thank you for your thorough explanation.

[@GetGlamFam]

My absolute pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@Chelsie-qy6gj]

My hair used to be long down my back and beaut..now due to age bad hairstylists and just living in a dry environment I don't have much hair anymore. Wish you still did hair I could use your expertise and skill😢

[@sheagail5874]

Love the simplicity of the irons tutorial. Yeah, you should teach. It's your gift. Won't get confused anymore on flat iron types ever again Thank you!!!!!

[@GetGlamFam]

Thanks so much! I actually teach for a living 😊😊

[@yellowtulips0427]

@@GetGlamFamYas! I was thinking the same thing. You did an excellent job on explaining it. What about heat protectants. Which ones would you recommend for coarse hair? And does it matter if it has silicones in it?

Never seen a video of someone breaking down different flat iron types. Great video!

[@KayBeOnline]

You are a mess, so hilarious. 😂 I literally bought a flat iron earlier this week and was hoping that I bought the right kind... Happy to find out that I did: Ceramic (well tourmaline infused ceramic) because my hair is high in density but the strands are fine, and ain't nobody tryna to burn off/destroy these lovely locks lol. Thanks!

[@sandravalerio3731]

The best video of my life. I'm being serious, I had no idea what to get and why I was getting it. Now after 6months of looking for I fo I feel confident enough to buy a straightener. Thank you❤👏👏👏👏👏

Such an absolute pleasure! I’m so glad the video was helpful!

You are LITERALLY the only person I would take advice from about flat irons. I've never used one but it could be nice for a change up in the cooler months. Thank you so much for the tutorial 🙏🏽💯

Thanks so very much! I need to get back into regularly filming and editing, it can be quite a bit to juggle! Thanks for watching!

Hello there, thank you so much for explaining about the Flatiron. I am a cosmetologist, but when I quit in 1990 because of health issues, I never learned anything about flat irons, so thank you so much for explaining about it😊 Continue to enjoy the Blessings of the Lord ❤️

Very INFORMATIVE as usual! Currently I am on a heat free journey for the summer on my relaxed hair. I will be purchasing a new flat iron soon. You have armed me with the knowledge needed to choose the right one for my hair type!! May God continue to bless you and give you GRACE!!

[@kathleenharris8824]

This makes a lot of sense. A few years ago I wanted to flat iron my hair and I think my sub sections were too big. The straightness didn’t last long at all. Also, using tourmaline is better. Thanks Linwood!

[@pualenaisz4403]

Thank you for this video! You're the only one I'll listen to about ANYTHING concerning hair!❤ I at times will use a titanium iron, as a professional, i know how to use, and some folks will get one and crank the temp to the highest instead of starting at a low temp, cause that titanium is almost hotter than hell itself...or at least your strands will think so! My hair is medium density, medium porosity...and some folks don't know their density or porosity, so they will misuse/damage their hair. Keep educating with your fantastic content! I love it!🙌🏽

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

Honeyyyy when I tell you, I ran out to purchase a ceramic/tourmaline flatiron. I tested the regular ceramic against the ceramic/tourmaline I set both at 375 I parted two even sections on the same side of my head The ceramic poofed within seconds and the tourmaline fought the humidity. The real test will be after I start to sweat in my head Ill use the tourmaline one for the bulk of my hair. Ill use the ceramic on the nape and edges where my hair is finer and crank up the heat to 410. I cant thank you enough.

[@GetGlamFam]

[@elaineturner8163]

Linwood, Sir Linwood! Thank you so much for this!!! I'm actually in the market for a new flat iron and really was having a hard time deciding on which kind to buy. But thanks to you, I will clearly be leaving The Titanium Hell Fire Flat Iron the Hell alone. Though I do have thick hair, but I notice now that I'm 64 I notice that it is not as thick in some places. And kinda over the natural but don't really want to go back to relaxers. Cause I grew up where Mom sent me the "Beauty Shop" to get my hair straight cause her arm was getting tired., LOL. I like the look, just don't want to work so hard to get it straight. And a HUGE thanks for the tip of using thinner sections and not passing the iron over and over on the section. I don't flat iron my hair much in the summer, I do in the fall, winter and spring. Thanks again Sir Linwood. Knight of the Shinning Flat Irons! Hug, kisses and best of wishes. 👋🏽👋🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘😘

[@MelB125]

[@Abathingwolf]

This was so sweet how you really broke it down 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@lesliewit]

Thank you for explaining the difference between all the irons. I have medium strands and I went ahead and got a titanium but I set it to medium heat, use a heat protectant, and the chasing method with one single pass. It works really good but I always err on the side of caution and I'm an obsessive rule-follower when it comes to my hair.

[@Nat-mw3bz]

This is what I needed to hear. Very informative and necessary for those of us who are not professional stylists.

[@ig.Nandika]

Which one are you using? The ceramic or the tourmaline one?

[@fastwigreviewwithlisabee8598]

I love the ION brand flat iron when I use it and if i don't sweat it out my hair can stay straight for almost up to three days or more. my hair feels soft smooth and beautiful. I only flat iron during the summer but not during the winter I keep it up in wigs just to keep my head warm and to give my hair a rest. my hair has grown significantly long as a result ( past shoulder length and down the back) I love the extra tips thanks!!!! also I took your advice on shampoos and really paid attention to my current hair needs rather than just selecting a favorite shampoo. Thank you!

I had one of those…and it got stolen from my car (with a bunch of other stuff), and well I bought another one as I used to love it. But I have yet to use it again as I found one that is kind of working for me. As far as I know, the sizzling was just the water getting into steam mode.

Thank you Linwood for this important information. I’ve been thinking of using a 8:02 flat iron on my natural hair but I didn’t know which one to use . Now, I think I will try a titanium flat iron. I think this flat iron will work and fo wonders for my hair. Thank you

[@mariannearrington2615]

OMG, thank you so much, Linwood, for explaining the difference between the types of flat irons and for explaining the proper way to use the tool. A former professional stylist I went to burned the crap out of my hair because he used the hottest settings to blow dry AND to flat iron my fine hair. Additionally, he went over each section repeatedly as you demonstrated in your video. HE is the reason I decided to go natural 9 years ago. I haven't had a flat iron touch my hair since 2014. I've been terrified to do so. In fact, I wouldn't even let anyone blow dry my hair for years because I was terrified of getting heat damage again. I finally (and nervously) let a professional stylist blow dry it for the first time in 2021 in order to get braids for my vacation trip. After seeing your video, I MAY consider getting a silk press. Because of your video, I now know what questions to ask my stylist should I decide to try a silk press. Thank you, again, for educating us!
