I have Afro hair and do not want to relax it, does the flat iron straighten the hair or would I need a thermal proctector or serum oil on?

This is for short hair or just straightening your roots. I would suggest always using a heat protectant when putting heat on ur hair

I had no problem using a flat iron, it does not take much heat. I do not know what setting however, I own a CHI straightener and it is one setting and works really well with these hair extensions. I would recommend maybe moving the flat iron faster through the extension. Hope this helps.

I usually only straighten my hair with this one, but I tried it and it worked. It gets so hot that you can't touch the outside. It also heats up very quickly!

I never actually have done that, but I would suggest spraying it on your hair after drying, comb through, let it sit for a minute and then use your straightener. I think if you use it right away when your hair is damp from the spray, it may cause it to look oily and flat. So it depends on your needs and look you're going for.

With this particular flat iron, you are not supposed to need product as you can use it on wet hair. I always use a protectant with my flat iron tho!

You can, but I dont recommend that you flat iron your hair wet, it will fry your hair, and you dont want that. What I do is I wash my hair, dry it really good with a towel then I put oil of Morocco by marc anthony, and straightening keratin serum, then wait until my hair is dry and use the flat iron on it.

You can definitely curl your hair with this flat iron. That is what I use it for.

The flat iron I purchased came brand new in a box. I absolutely love this product. I have "kind of" fine hair and if I follow the chart the booklet has, I should be using the 410 degree setting. I literally now wash my hair, let it dry (overnight) or quickly pass the blow dryer (nothing crazy); apply heat protectant and then pass the flat iron. Saves me so much time and my hair looks gorg. I also use this flat iron to curl my ends and give it a more fancy look.

I would suggest warm set rollers and steamer with styling brush to straighten. If you have a cheap jumbo curling iron, the low setting will not melt it. You should be able to touch the barrel with your hand. I would strand test. So far I have only used the electric set of rollers and comb using my fingers not a brush. You can shake it and go.

You can create some curls or waves with this flat iron, but it would be a slight rather than tight, depending on how you work it. The great thing about this flat iron is that the long handle and plates doesn't cramp my hand. You can adjust the temperature to suit your hair needs. It also has a handy sheath as you can store it while it's still cooling and not worry about melting anything nearby.

I have thick curly/frizzy hair and have definitely used this product successfully. You will still need a heat protectant/ leave in moisturizer but I find that it doesn't fry my hair the way a normal hair dryer/flat iron would.

Yes, you can straightened this hair. I would advise testing the back part on low heat. Use a spray bottle of water to slightly dampen the hair then use your flat iron or curling iron. I would suggest rolling each individual recently flat iron piece with a flexible rod. Allow to set for a few hours. you more than likely will produce a new hair style. I hope this helps. Also go on YouTube and see if anyone has a how to video up.

I use a flat iron with the product and that combination controls the frizz unless its really humid outside. I have thick blond curly hair.

My hair has never burned. Did you use a special heat protective spray before you used the flat iron? You have to protect your locks with flat iron spray of some sort or else it will burn your hair and most likely smell bad. I have had my flat iron for over a year and it has never had any weird smell. I love it.

I usually just apply before drying, of you do it after it might look oily, an I would use the flat iron perfector for straightening, it works better with a flat iron

I use the Express Ion; it's the best flat iron I've ever used. I have thick, frizzy, dry, wavy hair (although my stylist says it's curly), and it does an awesome job on my hair. My adult daughter has truly thick, curly hair, and she loves this flat iron too. I would definitely recommend using a good product to help control your hair before you use a flat iron. I use Paul Mitchell's Straight Works, combined with Organix Moroccan Argan oil.
