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.

[@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

[@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.

Thx so much for the vid. I am African American and am a believer in tourmaline flat irons. Any iron that helps protect hair from heat is what I'm about!! I have loved my 1st flat iron for years which was the h2pro tourmaline ceramic flat iron. Now I just purchased the titanium BaBylissPro Ionic iron. Wish me luck!

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!

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! 😊

[@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💜

[@mimilili99]

Thank you so much, that was very informative! Please what is the minimum heat to straighten thin to medium hair?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

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.

[@mimilili99]

Glam Girl Gabi yes thanks :). My hair is curly but I blowdry it previously. I'll see how it goes when I receive the adjustable flat iron

The only titanium straighteners we have in australia are basically silver bullet etc. The silver bullet I want goes up to 230°C… thinking of getting one even though I have ghd ceramic straightener that heats at 185ºC

[@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! :)

5 years I’ve been wondering why my hair all of a sudden started breaking off at the ends and nothing I did would help. 5 years I’ve thought it was my blow dryer, shampoos, masks and even vitamin deficiencies. 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 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.

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.
