Naturals: What is the safest flat iron?

[NIK]

Naturals,

What is the best and safest way to straighten your hair? What flat iron do you use(if any)? What products do you use? And what is your step-by-step process to straighten your hair?

I would like to straighten my natural hair more ofter but I'm afraid of heat damage (aka straight pieces).

Thanks!
