will this protect my hair from a heating iron or straight iron

I have only used it with the curling iron, leaving soft and shiny curls. I assume that it protects from all heating devices.

I'm sure it does because it's for thermal protection from irons,blow dryers, curlers so there shouldn't be any reason it doesn't :) I myself have very coarse curly hair

I'm African American and I LOVE this flat iron. I can get my hair very straight, or give it a bit of a bump and curl. I turn the temp down a bit because it runs very hot; but it works very well.

Honestly I do not know, my hair is very thin. I have straight hair that over time has become brittle and looks a bit like straw due to so much blow drying and highlights. In my heart I believe this iron is comparable to the expensive ones out there. It leaves my hair looking like a profressional blow dry. Hope this helps! Good luck!

I use it, on damp hair. But make should to use some find of heat protective styling product on your hair. So you don't fry your hair. This iron gets really hot.

Don't know. Don't use as it doesn't get hot enough to curl my very straight hair.

This product really is only meant to strengthen and protect hair from heat damage that can result from using flat irons, curling irons and the like. I would continue the search for a product to treat chemical damage. Sorry. 8(

Any heat causes some damage, but this is far less than a flat iron. Speaking of which, I finally shelled out the bucks for an expensive flat iron that gets *extremely* hot 430 degrees. My hair is so much better and it takes 1/4 the time

I wouldn't recommend using heat products on it, but I will admit I straightened the hair once before. It basically makes the hair look fried.:\ if you keep the iron on the lowest setting and run it through quickly, it should be fine. I used hairspray in mine, so the "fried" look could be a result from the use of hairspray. best of luck. hope I was able to be of some help to you!

This is a flat surface, but I can use a straightening iron to put some slight curl in my hair. It just takes a curving pull on the iron through the hair.

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 have straight hair and have never used a Flat Iron so I really don't know- it doesn't get very hot. I would say no! If it were a substitute for a flat iron I'm sure the manufacturer would state that in the description.

Yes, I really like this flat iron. I have a lot of thick hair and it gets it straight in no time! I also have a smaller one (diff. brand) and I feel this one does the job quicker. I hope this helps.

Depends on if your hair is relaxed or natural, natural hair can be flat ironed but it will revert quickly where as relaxed doesn't. I personally got 3 days of straight hair after using this iron on my natural hair. It may be a better investment to try the newer iron model as this one is old and outdated.

My hair is slightly thin and it has done no more damage than my straightener. Just use a heat protection product also.

I have soft hair so when I flat iron it I curl it under or over otherwise it will be bone straight. It works and stays for me. Can't speak for others. It's a very good tho. 4 of my sisters bought them after I did their hair with mine.

I dont use any heat protectant with this iron, thou it would not hurt to use one.but I do use a silky straight smoothing serum from garnier fructis, just a few drops and the end result is amazing with this iron.
