what temperature have you found that best works with your hair. hot enough to do some work but warm enough so it won't do big damage?

Well i tend to use it on high. I use a flat iron spray to protect my hair from the heat. and that seems to help keep the damage to a minimal.

I have thick hair , so I have it at the hottest setting. With that said it takes less time to straighten my hair

I have very thick hair but I use it on my bangs everyday and it is great. It has temp setting so use would probably just use a lower temp.

I have thick hair and its curly like Julianne Margolis in her E.R. days - btw I'm Latina (Cuban, Puertorican, and Brazilian) and Japanese mix... I use it on 324 and it's straight with one pass - not bone straight but straight with volume... if I want bone straight I think the temp I use is 384 or something close to that but I rarely wear it bone straight... love that it doesn't burn or pull my hair.. I also use it to curl my hair as well... I've used chi but that burned and pulled my hair on the medium settings

No, the hair will start to melt. I strongly suggest not to use any heat on the hair.

Honestly it was too much heat to apply to my real hair. I only used it on my weave when I had a sew in. It can get really hot & I couldn't risk damaging my hair.

I have curled mine but on a very low heat, about 250 no higher than 300. It curls beautifully

It's honestly depends on the size of curls you want with so many different options I use only the ones I have available all the big ones work great for nice big girls. I have Brazilian raw 7a unprocessed hair and have not used heat one for curls. I also have people ask me daily how I get my curls to stay all day and not fall I always say Flexi Rods

my hair is probably inbetween thick and thin. there is no temperature control, so this things heats up quick and gets super hot. if i were you i would look for one that has better temperature control so you don't fry your hair off.

I'm not sure of the actual temperature, however I have long, fairly thick hair and it curled mine just fine...and the curl held for several days. I just curled the ends and since this has a very small barrel, I did smaller sections of hair than I do with my full size curler. Just one word of caution...it's easy to burn your fingers if you forget that the end of the barrel is VERY small and try to grab it like a full size curler. :-)

I'm using it as a regular treatment when I was my hair as conditioner or leave it in on my ends and works perfectly, my stylist says works better with heat but it's depends on your hair type. I love this product

Yes, there are temperature settings: low, medium, and high...and a number of settings between each of those, so you can set the iron to the temperature that is most appropriate to your hair. Always use the lowest setting possible so you don't damage your hair, and always use a heat protectant!

No, it doesn't have the option to adjust the temperature -- just an on/off switch. It heats up to 410 degrees but as long as you don't leave it in one spot for too long and use a heat protectant, it shouldn't burn your hair. The high heat and ceramic plates are actually a good thing because it seals the cuticle, making your hair appear super-shiny. Cheaper models that don't heat up as much just end up drying out your hair, making a frizzy problem worse in the long run, and will contribute to breakage. This flat iron is worth its weight in gold!

I like this one too. It curls fabulously well. My hair usually curls and then straightens before I ever get to work, but with this one, it gets soooo hot that the curl holds...and you don't need very long hair to go around the barrel. HOwever....it is so hot you will need to set the temp down a little and not use it on hi, AND, like was said before, you CANNOT put it down on your scalp or touch it with your fingers, bc it is soooo hot.

I air dry my hair to pretty much dry and then use the hot air brush. It works great. I also put some kind is a conditioner or heat protector it on my hair is soon as I get out of the shower. The brush gets pretty hot. My second brush is hotter than my first was. But it does a great job. I would never have another brand.

Mine goes up to 450 degrees. Which is why I like it. I have had several in the past that went up to 400 and they just didn't get my hair straight.

The temp settings are great. The blow force is a little powerful if your hair is short or if too dry when styling.Try using attachment to narrow down air stream, wetter hair, keep dryer further from your head. Start with brush then use your hand(s) to style and lift.

I used a blow dryer for 2 different repairs. temps never got above 160 degrees. can do with a hair dryer!
