[@animay928]

I use a ceramic straightener, straighten my hair once a wk leave it for two day before wash. I use heat sprays,serums etc… air dry my hair, thick hair dry coarse… 🤦‍♀️ but My hair smells irony,burnt etc can you point me in a different direction. Should I switch type of straightener. Thx

Your videos are so informative and I learn so much from you. I have fine hair that has thinned with age, and I learned from you that my theory that my high messy bun I rock daily has been making my hairline thin and cause a bald spot. I have been doing a loose low bun since seeing your videos about traction alopecia and I hope that my hairline may recover. Your videos are fantastic.

[@Alice_Walker]

This was so helpful, I know with my fine hair a ceramic plate is what I wanted but I hadn't previously considered the options within that. Thank you!

[@Maria-uz9gg]

I am so glad I come across your channel here in youtube because I’m in the market for hair straightener and your explanation is so clear, detailed and professionally explained. Thank you for sharing this info and because of this, I just subscribed to your channel and also hit the thumbs up button. Thanks again.

[@aisssy]

I think I just discovered that I have fairly thin hair. I have a lot of hair and it’s heavy so I just thought I have thick hair. A ceramic curling iron holds better for me. I bought a $90 curing iron from chi that is titanium and it goes flat as soon as I’m done , and also my hair smells burnt. I really thought that spending a little more would get me better results 🥲lol Loved the video! Very helpful

[@dazem8]

I'm so glad i found this video. very informative. i have standatd, wavy hair -- nothing too curly -- but i believed i needed to upgrafe to a titanium iron ... I'm going to stick with my ceramic one. Thank you!!!

Thanks so much my friend! Yeah it's one of those things that even as a hairdresser I didn't really understand. It was eye opening once I took a deep dive look at the differnces!

[@JaniceB1217]

Thank you so much! I have 4c hair and was struggling now I know why sheesh I was using the wrong iron

[@jsnavarrete223]

Thank you for the explanation, I was thinking about boy a ceramic coated one but now I prefer a titanium iron.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

No problem. I’m happy that you found it helpful. A titanium iron is perfect for controlling a lot of frizz and hair that has excessive density and is hard to straighten.

[@avaerena2927]

Another hairdresser recommends titanium on the basis of even heat distribution even for fine hair because you only need one pass as opposed to repeated passes to get smooth straight hair using tourmaline and other plates. I’ve noticed hairdressing professionals vary in their opinions and that’s all good but, many have said they’ve found a higher heat and even heat distribution combined with the right products = less likelihood of damage.

[@softpatatato]

Thank you so much, i was about to buy ceramic but then my hair’s the thick and crazy one. Titanium it is then 🥳

[@kitkatthewrapper]

I just bought a ceramic iron because it was on sale! I tried it and it *straightened my hair* but not straight-straight - thick 90s straight. My hair is softer than when I use my babybliss which is titanium but it seems to fry my hair easily. It gets the work done but does a lot of damage. Anyways, I don’t necessarily like the results of either. And I have thick, frizzy, wavy/curly hair. I didn’t know about the different iron types. I think I might be returning it. I have tried my mom’s CHI LAVA and I loved it. Thank you so much!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey! I'm so so happy that you found this to be useful! I'm sorry that happened to you. I have fine hair and I've literally fried my hair SO MANY TIMES. You're not alone. For your hair type, I would go with a ceramic and keep the heat as low as possible. Experiment with the heat so that you can keep it at the setting you need to straighten it nicely and stop there. Don't go any higher. It also helps to shampoo your hair less. How often are you shampooing? I shampoo twice a week and that has gotten my hair into a super healthy spot! I will be making more hair care and hair tips videos so stay tuned :)

[@user-wn8mr5ve3l]

@@GlamGirlGabi thank you for your accurate and helpful videos!!I shampoo every other day basically 3/4 times at week cause i do have oily scalp😔 and that doesen't help me of course i know,but with fine hair i can't resist all week long without washing cause i will end up as a huge oily mess...i can't wait to see more hair care videos of you💜

[@charcee56]

Most stylist use the babyliss prima 3000 for their natural clients!! And ceramic for relaxer or chemical service clients!! What do u think?

[@-Kada]

Couldn't grow my hair for ages!! Aria Lacey - best straighteners I've ever found. Tourmaline plates with ceramic coating. My hair is quite fine, damaged, fragile, but stubborn and thick AF. I normally straighten my hair all except the bottom 1/2 inch and just brush through my post straightening oils and making sure the ends are taken care of Hair is healthier, actually growing! (Just found out about "hair Botox" deep conditioning salon treatment so I'll be doing that once a month from now on, highly recommend even if it's just the once, it felt amazing I had TV advert hair for the first time ever.) This video confirms what I had stopped but hadn't actually figured out... Why my hair stopped growing. Subscribed! 😊

[@natalija9543]

Hi Gabi! I would like to ask for advice. What you think which straightener is best to use on thin, healthy, long, and naturally straight hair for making curls? Just to add, my hair is very difficult to curl and stay curled :) It gets straight again after few hours. I wouldn't like to damage my hair, and wouldn't use a straightener often. Only in some occasions. So which from those you mentioned would be the best by your opinion for my hair to stay curled during the whole day? :) Thank you! :)

[@evana2999]

I am thinking about getting the BaBylissPRO prima 3000... But since u mentioned that there's a possibility of it scorching my hair (which is relaxed btw)... I'm a bit hesitant now... If it is used on a lower heat setting, do you think it can get the hair silkly straight without the damage?

[@natalietrejo7306]

I have a question: So I’ve been using ceramic straighteners my entire life and my hair is more wavy than curly but not super thick or thin. I can never get it to stay straight and smooth. It always gets frizzy and wavy within an hour. Should I switch to a titanium straightener for longer lasting results?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey! Yes! Absolutely. All my clients with hair like yours, I straighten with the babyliss pro nano titanium flat iron and it’s absolutely perfect and long lasting. What will help you maintain results also is to start with a blow out using a hot air brush. Have you ever heard of those? I can not straighten my wavy hair without blowing it out first. It doesn’t look nearly as good or last nearly as long.

[@user-xt3yp8yk1t]

Should I try titanium or should I stay away from it due to the possibility of melting my fine hair? What if I choose a very low heat setting with a titanium? Looking forward to your response!!! ❤

[@annakmeneses]

As far as the titanium go... chi makes some that go all the way down to 320F. Is that still okay for fine hair, since the temp goes that low, or do you still recommend we go for ceramic.

It really depends on a lot of factors but if your hair is relatively straight already, I would keep the heat around the 300 degree mark. Move the dial to the heat where you get the result you want and no hotter. I hope I was able to help.

Not until one random comment I saw yesterday that sent me into a deep dive, did I realize that 5 years ago I switched from my trusty ceramic Chi 1 inch OG, to a titanium coated Chi G2, and my hair has been breaking off ever since. My hair is super fine, curly, but incredibly fine and I have to baby it. Never in 5 years did I consider my flat iron plates, OMG!!!

I want to try straightening instead maybe like once a week and I don’t really wanna get heat damage so I was thinking of buying a chi ceramic one. Would you recommend I get a titanium one instead based on my hair type? Thanks for the info again!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey! If your hair is relaxed and you're just pressing it for some extra smoothness, a chi ceramic is an EXCELLENT choice. If your hair starts going back to a very wavy and thick texture and you want much more control, a titanium will be a better option for you :) Titanium has a stronger performance overall, in my opinion.
