Can I use this as a heat protectant for flat ironing? Or should I use it in addition to another heat protectant?

I have seen some youtubers do this, but I would couple with a heat protectant as well. I know I do :)

I'm not sure if it contains any heat-protectant, but it does aid in straightening. I always use it when I blow dry if I am going to straighten or curl my hair. The curl/straight definitely lasts longer after using it.

No, this product is not able to be applied with a household iron. You will need a commercial grade heat press both for temp and pressure. Best of luck

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 found that it does work as a heat protector when blow drying and flat ironing my hair but that's my hair. A little goes a long way so you shouldn't be heavy handed with the product but you should get the desired results when straightening your hair using this product.

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

You can just blow dry it but for a sleek straight finish I would flat iron as well. You don't have to use high heat when flat ironing.

I started using it because a hair dresser recommended it when I was going to Afghanistan for a year. It saved my hair from the extreme environment. I put a dime size amount in my hand and rub it in my palms and put it just on the hair from my ears down. My hair has natural wave and body so some times I don't use a flat iron. If I flat iron I mix sexy hair in with my flat iron protectant cream and it nourishes and protects my hair. I wouldn't use it with the flat iron alone. I love the product but I cant answer your question because I don't have fine hair.

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.

I use this product when I don't want to flat iron my hair. I have a relaxer in my hair, but sometime I just want to wash, condition, and let it go. I do this most often in the summertime when I shampoo more often. When you flat iron your hair you want to use a heat protection product. My hair is past my shoulders and I do all I can to keep it healthy. When I flat iron my hair, I use Beyond the Zone "Turn Up The Heat". I love this spray. It protects the hair and leaves a beautiful soft sheen to the hair. You can get it right here on Amazon.

yes...Just remember to use a thermal protection spray for flat irons use. This will coat your hair and keep it healthy. Buy one that has coconut oil, keration proteins, avocado oil and cocoa butter. The one I use is from Organix~Ever Straight Brazilian Keration Therapy. I'm PR..and my hair is thick wavy~curly and this Flat Iron works AMAZING....I Love it. I Hope this helped.

Buy got2be protector spray - spray it before using flat iron, use flat iron for no higher temperature than 295 and just grow your hair out. Allways use protector spray a lot before using iron. Hope this helps

This product is not for that. If you want a really great product that protects your hair from flat irons try "Beyond The Zone Turn Up The Heat Protection Spray" I buy it at Sally's or online. I have six daughters who all have different hair and as long as I use this their hair stays protected.

Sorry, I'm not qualified to answer this question. I use a standard house iron when using this product.

I've never used a flat iron on wet hair, that can cause damage. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is for others out there who may be confused about using heat protectant with an electrical appliance. Obviously, it is manufactured for this specific purpose. T's hair makes it sound as if you'd electrocute yourself merely by having wet hair while using an electric appliance say a hair dryer for instance. With the reference to finger drying that would at least distribute the product better.This does use tourmaline infused technology so I'm not sure if using the heat protectant would interfere with the shine that's supposed to give you. But that would be my only worry.

Yes it is great for heat styling.I use it to blow dry or spray in my hair after deep conditioning air day and then flat iron work great both ways.
