What temperature do you flat iron your hair on?

[soslychic]

What setting/temperature do you all use when you flat iron your hair? Also what brand of flat iron do you own and is your hair relaxed, texturized, transitioning, or natural?

 

[KinksnCurlz]

What setting/temperature Anywhere from 10-15, never higher (just a Me thing)
Brand of Flat iron Jilbere Ceramic with dial
Hair texture Relaxed

 

[HotCoCoGurl130]

I have relaxed hair. I dont use a particulat brand. I have so many. I use the highest setting because my hair is very resistent. I dont use heat that much.

 

[myco]

I have the Jilbere ceramic iron with the dial. My hair is relaxed and I set it on 5.

 

[jemini]

I use a Conair flatiron which doesn't have any settings. It heats up to a certain temperature that's just hot enough to get the hair straight. It works pretty good, but I want to give some other flatirons a try.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

I have a Unil. The last time I used it I put it on 370 degrees. I am texturized/relaxed.

 

[jaibee]

what type hair do you have? I may as well not even have the iron on if i use it a 5. I have to set it to 20 at LEAST to get any kind of result and i'm a 4a/4b who's relaxed.

I use a Chi turbo one inch ceramic flat iron. I have 3c/4a relaxed hair. There are only temperature settings on this flat iron and I set it on 150 degree celsius.

 

[ChocoKitty]

Jiberre Ceramic iron w/ dial
I get my best result when it's set @ 23.
My hair is natural type 3B or 3C (kelis or holly robinson-peete)

 

[Ebony]

Jiberre Ceramic flatiron w/ dial. I use 8-10 settings, no higher.

EDITED:

This thread is very old, so I removed my previous reply since I changed flat irons long, long ago.

Ditto.
I've used on my hair maybe 2x's.

I would consider myself a 4a. I have thick hair, but compared to the rest of my family I have fine individual strands. The first time I used it, I set it on 10, but my hair smelled scorched after that so I had to turn it down. I really only use it on my roots, because my hair looks better when I do rollersets as opposed to flatironing and blowdrying which I can't do at all.

 

[skegeesmb]

I have a Jilbere iron. I use settings between 10-15. If you want your hair BONE BONE BONE straight you can use setting 23. I did this and my hair was way too straight.

 

[serena]

What do these settings represent in terms of actual degrees of heat? I mean, what's 5, 10 - 15, 25, etc, in Fahrenheit or Celsius? I'm really curious about this.

 

[Shaneka06604]

I use the conair ceramic flat iron and I set it on 7

That would most likely vary from brand to brand since the highest temp available on each iron varies.

 

[serena]

Oh, ok.

Thanks, Spagirl!

 

[MissM]

I use the Jilbere also on 23-25, I like my hair bone straight.

 

[Spagirl]

Your welcome.

 

[inthepink]

Ah, here it is!

 

[simplycee]

I have relaxed hair, Curlmaster and a Jibere and I use the lowest setting but smaller, thin sections. It may take a little longer but I don't want to damage all my hard work. I like the results.

 

[lovechic]

SEDU, 180 DEGREES!

 

[sengschick]

Setting/Temp: 5-6 (not sure what temp) max temp is 12 or 15 (I think)
Brand: Helen of Troy Ceramic w/dial

The rest is in my siggy

 

[hunnybunny81]

I have an FHI--and I put it in 370 when I have a lot of new growth and wanna get it super straight...when I don't have a lot of new growth I set it at 300..

My texture is 4B by the way!

 

[Carefree]

I have an old Revlon flat-iron with 20 heat settings and I normally straighten at about 14 or 15. When I want my hair really sleek and straight (rarely) I'll take it up a notch to 18.

 

[Desert Skye]

I put mine on 300 but i make sure i put a good heat protectant!!

 

[miss_brown]

FHI 1". I put it on about 380 degrees /images/graemlins/up.gif

 

[Faith]

I have revlon cermaic one with 25 heat settings 250 watts. I put it on 1.
