Hey Glamfam! In this video I am discussing what the difference is between titanium flat irons, ceramic flat irons, and tourmaline flat irons. Knowing this is important depending on the type of hair you have so you are less likely to burn your hair! As always, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments! Until next time y'all, take care, God bless, and stay glam!

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.

[@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!

[@sheagail5874]

[@jenniferhaliday3799]

@@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?

[@GetGlamFam]

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

[@dwise2165]

Thank you for explaining the difference between fine and coarse to the people. Some people don’t know the difference between curl pattern, texture, and density.

[@msshaffer5]

Thank you so much for exposing the difference between thick, coarse, fine, dense, and thin, cause so many people just do not get the difference.

[@misst227]

_This was perfect!_ _Some years ago I damaged my hair so badly upgrading my flatiron to a Titanium.... I'm recovering._

[@GetGlamFam]

Thanks fam! Yeah, titanium is popular, but if you aren’t careful, it’s really easy to damage the hair

Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!

[@kalishajnz]

I'm from the stainless steel days, but I have fine hair, so after learning about ceramic, that's what I went with, plus titanium scares me, lol. I didn't know much about tourmaline, so thanks for the explanation. This is a very informative video. 💜

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.

[@nerryjimenez6530]

Thank you so much! I am late to this video. The lesson on flat irons was very well recieved. I have very fine hair, so the ceramic is best. Thank you again, Blessings, Nerry Jimenez

High respect for you for breaking down the difference and how it affects your hair. Loving your humor. Just subscribed to your channel , I love how you keep it real.❤💯

[@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!

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!
