With any heating element you have to be careful when using it. You probably had it on your hair too long or on a very high heat setting. Your hair will grow back. Just use good conditioning when washing it.

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

I had the same problem, had to force it off then straighten, then put it back on. Was a huge pain in the butt :/

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!

I tried flipping the ends with a straightener...not my finest moment. melted fake hair all over the place. Curling irons don't get as hot...but try at your own risk.

500F, it heats up fast, but it too, damage the hair. My advice would be to not use the highest heat especially if you have fine- normal hair.

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 get a small flat iron at WalMart or a local drug store--will plug in and heat up, squeezes together, the inside or heated sides are flat. My iron came with the first batch I ordered,which were not these. I ordered these because I already had the flat iron from the other batch. They should be in the hair & beauty section--ask a sales person. cer

Hmm...I've used this product for umpteen years. If you've overdone it, your best bet is probably to ask your hairdresser for help. If you try to "fix" it you might make it look worse. I would steer clear of this (do it yourself) on longer hair. Sorry-I know this isn't the answer you wanted.

If you are not using a conditioner this could be the problem. I use WEN hair products.

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 don't know, it singed my hair right off. I don't recommend it unless you want to burn your hair off.

Before you do I would recommend talking to your hair care professional. After a thorough wash the burn that this causes, while short lived, can be quite intense. It then transmissions into a cooling sensation but that initial burn can be intense. It definitely works but you should consult a professional.

I use the blow dryer after I put the revitalizer on my hair. I have not had a problem. I don't think it wil burn your hair

I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL. They all look good when you open the box, but the plates aren't what they're supposed to be. So even if you could straighten your hair wet with the real one, you couldn't with the fake one therefore thinking the Nano product isn't good when actually its a fake. Think about it. A $200 hair straightener for $40? Don't make the same mistake I made twice. Buy a Chi for $69.99 at Marshall's. Its got tourmaline plates and you know its not a fake I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL.

hi, i just got a chi a little while ago and it works very well! i think it curls better than anything.. and i thought when i got it that i wouldnt get hot on the outside but it actually does.. stinks right? but i learned how to curl my hair very well without putting my fingers on that end of the straightener. i think you should get the chi anyways and just learn how to do it without touching it. its actually a lot easier than it seems.. and practice makes perfect... i did not go out in public the first time i curled it :P

I had the exact same problem and this one really works, plus the curls are made five times as fast as when you use a straighter! When it comes down to it, it all depends on your hair, but I personally found that this worked so much better.

You are right - no instructions were sent and I even checked with my hairdresser and she could not help. I only used it as a curling brush and it barely was hot enough to curl. I consider it a loss. Sorry I can't help.
