Do you have to use a flat iron in order for this product to work? Could I apply it to wavy hair and allow it to air dry too?

No, a flat iron is not needed for the product to work. I always dry my hair, but don't see a reason why you couldn't air dry it with this product.

I just blow dry. I don't think your hair will just be straight from it air drying.

No flat iron needed. My hair is short and I blow dry it. But I don't see why you couldn't use it on wavy hair and let it air dry. It should hold your hair in place and add a smooth effect to it.

Yes you can. The trick is to take your time and section your hair so that you apply the product from the bottom up. Make sure to do the same when your flat ironing the product in your hair.

I have very curly hair too - this works but tends to leave hair looking dried out at the ends - my stylist feels it's because these (and similar) flat irons can't get hot enough - she recommends getting a professional grade device. Haven't decided to do this yet, and will have to get a reminder as to the recommended brand.

I only bought the flat iron to straighten my hair. However, I tried to curl some strands to be able to answer your question. Although I am not familiar with the technique as I have never in my entire life curled my hair, I can say that with little skill I had, I was able to do some loose curls.

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.

yes, i am of mix descent an my hair is wavy, dry and frizzy at times, an it works wonders on my, wont use any other dryer, on natural hair if you use a little natural oil it will even give it a curl

No. It's a shine and can be used for straight or curly hair. I've been using it for years and I have curly hair and u sometime flat iron it. It work's great!!

I'm not sure how it would work for you. My hair is pretty curly when it's short and then wavy when it's long and heavier. The iron does smooth it out, but it's still not a sleek salon look. I hope that helps!

My hair is not real thick either and I use this product before I flow dry and it works great for me. I blow dry and then use a flat iron and no more humidity hair for me! It works great for me.

The treatment didn't make my hair straight unless I blow dried & flat ironed my hair. I still have my curls but it is less frizzy. I also didn't leave the treatment in for the full 45 min max. I left it in for 30min.

I'm not sure if it will straighten your hair. However, I have very curly hair and after I use this conditioner and flat iron it I do notice a difference. It's not permenant. It just makes my hair softer and easier to manage.

Yes, my hair seldom ever dries completely when I blow it dry and I use it to complete the blow-out style. If you do use it on damp hair, you might just want to not turn on the steam function since your hair is already a bit damp (easy switch to choose no steam, small amount of steam, or full steam). I personally like to use a heat-protecting product on my hair as well before using this flat iron. Best way to get nice beachy waves is to make a pin curl (twirl hair around fingers 'till it looks like a snail), then flat-iron over the pin curl. Let cool, then finger-shake out the curls. Looks awesome and takes very little time. The steam function of this flat iron really helps set the curls, too.

No - this is the mildest straightener I've used. Follow the directions, it's different from other straighteners - you apply it to wet hair. Rinse after chosen time, then dry (take your time drying with a roller brush it makes a difference), then flat iron. You can wash it that night - no waiting. I got this at a spa - now all my friends use it. Great product.

Yes, only temporarily though of course, and it's more like it makes it 90% easier to straighten. It's way more than 2 applications for me, and I have thick past-shoulder length curly hair (which is both a bit straighter when wet, and easily submits to the flat iron when I use this consistently).

I use a blow dryer on it to straighten it and I can use electric curlers but I couldn't recommend one of the flat iron although I have never tried it.

I would suggest wetting your hair with a leave in conditioner, do a quick blow dry, and then proceed with flat ironing. The outcome is a fresher look without product build up. I hope that helps.

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
