Thank you so much! Question. For black fine hair but lots of it does price and type of flat iron matter. It’s so overwhelming with all the different products but I do want to invest in a good quality iron
Does cost matter when it comes to purchasing flat irons. There’s a huge range and the Revlon is definitely affordable. I have fine hair however it does say it’s a ceramic tourmaline mix.
"You don't even bake cookies at that temperature" had me laughing! Thank you so much for the explanation. Even though I don't use heat on my hair often, maybe once every few months or so, I was in the market to find something that would work well with my fine 4c hair. I now know I shouldn't even look at titanium. Hope you're doing well. 🥰
@GetGlamFam So what if you have a titanium iron and yr hair is low porosity, medium strand thickness... What temp should you use? Or on a tourmaline? What temp should you stay on? Can you give to 400? Is it necessary...for a good silk press?😬
Love the simplicity of the irons tutorial. Yeah, you should teach. It's your gift. Won't get confused anymore on flat iron types ever again Thank you!!!!!
@@GetGlamFamYas! I was thinking the same thing. You did an excellent job on explaining it. What about heat protectants. Which ones would you recommend for coarse hair? And does it matter if it has silicones in it?
Omg! Someone finally explained the difference between flat irons. I've had a titanium iron and, yes, it burned my hair more times than I can count. I've also had ceramic, which took longer to get my hair straight. Now I understand why and the options that are on the market. Thank you for your thorough explanation.
My hair used to be long down my back and beaut..now due to age bad hairstylists and just living in a dry environment I don't have much hair anymore. Wish you still did hair I could use your expertise and skill😢
You are a mess, so hilarious. 😂 I literally bought a flat iron earlier this week and was hoping that I bought the right kind... Happy to find out that I did: Ceramic (well tourmaline infused ceramic) because my hair is high in density but the strands are fine, and ain't nobody tryna to burn off/destroy these lovely locks lol. Thanks!
The best video of my life. I'm being serious, I had no idea what to get and why I was getting it. Now after 6months of looking for I fo I feel confident enough to buy a straightener. Thank you❤👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for explaining the difference between fine and coarse to the people. Some people don’t know the difference between curl pattern, texture, and density.
Honeyyyy when I tell you, I ran out to purchase a ceramic/tourmaline flatiron. I tested the regular ceramic against the ceramic/tourmaline I set both at 375 I parted two even sections on the same side of my head The ceramic poofed within seconds and the tourmaline fought the humidity. The real test will be after I start to sweat in my head Ill use the tourmaline one for the bulk of my hair. Ill use the ceramic on the nape and edges where my hair is finer and crank up the heat to 410. I cant thank you enough.
You are LITERALLY the only person I would take advice from about flat irons. I've never used one but it could be nice for a change up in the cooler months. Thank you so much for the tutorial 🙏🏽💯
Very helpful! Thank you. I was just about to purchase a titanium iron but not anymore. Im African American female with thick hair but fine strands. I will be buying another ceramic iron. Not what I want, but it sounds like what I need. Thank you for saving me a whirl wind of devastation.
Hello there, thank you so much for explaining about the Flatiron. I am a cosmetologist, but when I quit in 1990 because of health issues, I never learned anything about flat irons, so thank you so much for explaining about it😊 Continue to enjoy the Blessings of the Lord ❤️
This makes a lot of sense. A few years ago I wanted to flat iron my hair and I think my sub sections were too big. The straightness didn’t last long at all. Also, using tourmaline is better. Thanks Linwood!
Thank you! I am in the market for a new flatiron, so this helps me a lot! Also, demonstrating how to use it helps. I am mostly curly and don't really flat iron my hair because a leave it up to my stylist. :)
I love the ION brand flat iron when I use it and if i don't sweat it out my hair can stay straight for almost up to three days or more. my hair feels soft smooth and beautiful. I only flat iron during the summer but not during the winter I keep it up in wigs just to keep my head warm and to give my hair a rest. my hair has grown significantly long as a result ( past shoulder length and down the back) I love the extra tips thanks!!!! also I took your advice on shampoos and really paid attention to my current hair needs rather than just selecting a favorite shampoo. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! You're the only one I'll listen to about ANYTHING concerning hair!❤ I at times will use a titanium iron, as a professional, i know how to use, and some folks will get one and crank the temp to the highest instead of starting at a low temp, cause that titanium is almost hotter than hell itself...or at least your strands will think so! My hair is medium density, medium porosity...and some folks don't know their density or porosity, so they will misuse/damage their hair. Keep educating with your fantastic content! I love it!🙌🏽
I know you posted this a while ago, but you are the best!!! I'm new to doing anything with my hair, growing up my mom always stressed health over style (which is good!) so I'm a complete beginner. The way you explained all this is super helpful and thorough PLUS YOU MADE ME GIGGLE THE WHOLE WAY. You're a great teacher, your students are very lucky! :D
Linwood, Sir Linwood! Thank you so much for this!!! I'm actually in the market for a new flat iron and really was having a hard time deciding on which kind to buy. But thanks to you, I will clearly be leaving The Titanium Hell Fire Flat Iron the Hell alone. Though I do have thick hair, but I notice now that I'm 64 I notice that it is not as thick in some places. And kinda over the natural but don't really want to go back to relaxers. Cause I grew up where Mom sent me the "Beauty Shop" to get my hair straight cause her arm was getting tired., LOL. I like the look, just don't want to work so hard to get it straight. And a HUGE thanks for the tip of using thinner sections and not passing the iron over and over on the section. I don't flat iron my hair much in the summer, I do in the fall, winter and spring. Thanks again Sir Linwood. Knight of the Shinning Flat Irons! Hug, kisses and best of wishes. 👋🏽👋🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘😘
Very INFORMATIVE as usual! Currently I am on a heat free journey for the summer on my relaxed hair. I will be purchasing a new flat iron soon. You have armed me with the knowledge needed to choose the right one for my hair type!! May God continue to bless you and give you GRACE!!
I’ve watch 8 videos trying to learn everything you’ve just said in one short video! I’m naming my next kid after you. You’re a cape-less hero! ¡Gracias!❤
This by far the best informational video on choosing the right flat iron, the types, the differences, and the proper use in sectioning. I go for finger width subsections. Coming from an old school manual Marcel iron user. Thank you!!!
Thank you for explaining the difference between all the irons. I have medium strands and I went ahead and got a titanium but I set it to medium heat, use a heat protectant, and the chasing method with one single pass. It works really good but I always err on the side of caution and I'm an obsessive rule-follower when it comes to my hair.
This helps me out a lot, now i know i should be using just straight ceramic! I have fine hair strands, but alot of them. So now I'm gonna make sure i take smaller sections at a time thanks! K-bye . 🤗
I had one of those…and it got stolen from my car (with a bunch of other stuff), and well I bought another one as I used to love it. But I have yet to use it again as I found one that is kind of working for me. As far as I know, the sizzling was just the water getting into steam mode.
This was a magnificent video!! I was on the fence about what type of flat iron to purchase for my level of experience. You could not have broken it down for me any clearer! You are a wonderful educator :-) Keep passing on the knowledge! Thanks much.
It's bedtime here for us in London,UK. But saw the notification. Had to come and give the video a comment, like and add to watch later. Love your content 🎉
Mr. Linwood, thank you so much for this video on how to select the perfect flat iron for your hair. I learned a lot from that video. I usually have my flat irons set on 450 and with burnout my hair but I have stopped doing that and now my hair shiny and bouncy because I used the tourmaline flat iron.
I'm from the stainless steel days, but I have fine hair, so after learning about ceramic, that's what I went with, plus titanium scares me, lol. I didn't know much about tourmaline, so thanks for the explanation. This is a very informative video. 💜
Thank you Linwood for this important information. I’ve been thinking of using a 8:02 flat iron on my natural hair but I didn’t know which one to use . Now, I think I will try a titanium flat iron. I think this flat iron will work and fo wonders for my hair. Thank you
Im so glad i went to your channel to see what you be up to. I literally added that Babyliss Titanium to my wishlist (i still might get it) but the video came in handy and in the right time!! It's given me alot to think about, thank you for the free knowledge. Thsts why i love this channel 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I bought a titanium flat iron and I didn't like it, not even on my hair weave. I immediately felt the difference and knew I would have to lower the temp and my hair is fine in diameter. So I dont reach for that one at all. I will definitely be selling it.
Wow I needed this information but didn’t think I would find it on YT. So glad I did a search and found your video! I just learned from you now that tourmaline is best for me! Thank you!
Thanks for that! I learned about only [1] slow pass rather than going quickly from this video! As far as firing up the oven to 450 degrees, that’s fine for pizza or searing a steak in the oven but I’m not looking to singe My fringe. Thanks again!
OMG, thank you so much, Linwood, for explaining the difference between the types of flat irons and for explaining the proper way to use the tool. A former professional stylist I went to burned the crap out of my hair because he used the hottest settings to blow dry AND to flat iron my fine hair. Additionally, he went over each section repeatedly as you demonstrated in your video. HE is the reason I decided to go natural 9 years ago. I haven't had a flat iron touch my hair since 2014. I've been terrified to do so. In fact, I wouldn't even let anyone blow dry my hair for years because I was terrified of getting heat damage again. I finally (and nervously) let a professional stylist blow dry it for the first time in 2021 in order to get braids for my vacation trip. After seeing your video, I MAY consider getting a silk press. Because of your video, I now know what questions to ask my stylist should I decide to try a silk press. Thank you, again, for educating us!
High respect for you for breaking down the difference and how it affects your hair. Loving your humor. Just subscribed to your channel , I love how you keep it real.❤💯
Hello Linwood! I’ve been checking every couple of weeks to see if you posted! I hope all is well with you and your family! Continue to take the time you need and we’ll see you when you return! 🙏🏽😊
Thank you for this awesome tutorial on flat irons. I tell my clients the same exact thing but now I will knock them upside their head with this video. You are the best boo. Have a blessed day 🙌🙏🥰
Thank you!! This video was extremely helpful. Now I need to donate my flat irons as I have the wrong ones but that is ok. I haven’t flat ironed my hair in 2 years. I knew something wasn’t right, now I know why! Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much. My fine fragile is extremely grateful for this information. Now, to find a small plate ceramic flat iron. The struggle was real. With your video, I now know what to look for. ❤
Thank you so much explaining. I felt like I was damaging my hair with Titanium. I’ve lowered the temp, started using smaller sections and one pass. After a cut to get rid of some of the damage that I did, I see a difference with my new technique but I think I’m going to still switch back to ceramic or Tourmaline.
This was VERY helpful and informative! I’ve always been confused as to which type of flat iron works best. Thank you for explaining this, so glad I just came across this video.
I have have all the flat irons but I have the water flat iron. But baby I haven't used hit on mine since 2019. I haven't used hairproducts in two years. I chopped for the 3rd time because my hair was long and matted. I was wigging it before my last chop, and now I use clip ins.
You know what, SUBSCRIBED! Off this one video alone I feel more comfortable with the information on how to properly take care of my hair and pick the right products for it. Appreciate this perfect explanation and video! Going to check out your others now 😌
Very, very, very informative. Never knew there were different kinds of flat irons for different "fabrics" of hair. I don't know what kind of flat iron I do have, but I know it is not titanium.
The Lord bless you as well, brother! Amen! Going to try tourmaline. I have a bad dominant shoulder so cannot blow dry my hair and have trouble wrapping my hair to dry. I have a Tymo hot comb but only works when my hair is relaxed within the first month. I find that the size of flat iron matters. I have just enough hair for a 2" but it prefers 3/4". Since cannot find that at some point, I began using 1". I used to have a Conair Pro Infiniti that was out in 2015, but then 3 years later had to let it go. I briefly had a Remington Anti-Static, it was good. Briefly had Remington Shine Therapy. It was alright, could be better. I used at a time I had not relaxed my hair in two years. Last September I went back to relaxing, but if I find the right iron, going to see about quitting again. The first flat iron I ever saw was when I was 17 or 18. I was at a flea market and this was back in '93 or '94, maybe '94. Could be '95 after I graduated HS. It was white, and on the plates some blue fabric. Had no idea what it was. Now am going to look for tourmaline and look at reviews. I'll leave alone Titanium and skip the temptation. Little lady not want to start my 48th year bald, especially when I grow hair literally only 1" per 12 months even without relaxer.
I have all three types. I noticed that the "blue" one got my hair straight, fast but it was lifeless. I got a cheapie tourmaline that I use but my hands down, all time favorite is the Chi. Shiny, bouncy hair that's soft.
Oh my you are sooooo good at explaining!!!! I am so happy I stumbled on your channel. You are great at what you do and I could listen to you all day. You are calm, clear, and a pleasure to listen to you definitely know your work very well. Thank you for putting up this information for free.
This made SOO MUCH sense for why ceramic-tourmaline straighteners work better than ceramic-only on my hair, but don’t burn my hair like titanium! My titanium babylis not only had weak/gaping clamp, but completely seemed to fry my hair 😢 Is the AG tourmaline your top recommendation for a tourmaline flat iron?
I was ready to throw my flat iron away that I had for 15+ years. But I am glad I didn't! It may be old, but fortunately, it still works and it is ceramic. I have fine hair strands. I hardly straightened my hair, but I got spoiled when the hairdresser straightened my hair a few months ago. Now I have to find your video on how to maintain it, lol! Thank you so much! You funny!😂🤍 I think my curling iron is stainless steel...
Thanks Linwood, I rarely use heat but I have heat implements that I was afraid to use but now I'm better educated on their use. You're absolutely fantastic. Appreciate you. I love watching your videos. Following you across different media platforms for some time and always loved your personality and sense of humor. Thanks again and have a blessed day. 🙏🏽
I found your video very helpful. I will stick tourmaline flat iron. I love the knowledge you provide all of us. I just subscribed to your channek a week ago. I am guilty of two passes through my hair. I will take smaller sections. I get impatient with my medium texture 4B hair when it comes to flat ironing or using a hot comb.There are days I miss relaxed hair when it comes to flat ironing my hair. 😂
You are awesome!!!! You are definitely operating in your gift!!! Funny but informative and concise. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for all you do
Love this video! It all makes sense now. I hate that these flat iron companies don’t provide this info, could save a lot of people from damage. My stylist uses a titanium flat iron on my hair and babbyyyy that thing don’t miss! If I style at home, I stick with my Dyson flat iron on the medium setting, cause I ain’t bout to hurt my hair anymore. Recovery takes wayyy to long.
This is the BEST explanation I’ve seen on flat iron types and fine vs course strands. Back in the day people used to automatically describe kinky hair as course and looser curls (like type 3) as being fine, not realizing you can have very kinky, tightly coiled hair and still have fine hair or silky loose curls that are very course. I’m glad you explained this. On another note, if I have very fine type 4 strands, but already spent money buying a titanium flat iron could I avoid damage by using a lower temperature or would it damage my hair no matter what?
Enjoy your videos, I wear wigs most of the time or head wraps watching this Almost makes me want to wash and flat iron my hair. P.S. you must have went to my school uphill both ways and in the snow. Blessings 💜💚
VERY GOOD EXPLANATION!👍🏽 My experience with ceramic, they (pull on the hair), and ddnt get hot enough to straighten, they also short out quick, and have to pay more for a better one; so I use titanium now👍🏽best for me.
Thanks for telling me the difference. I thought I had course hair but I think it maybe be thin. To be on the safe side I went with ceramic and have to do two passes. Thanks for showing me the size section. 👍✌️
This was so helpful! So thankful for your content. May God bless and keep you. May your channel thrive and reach many and be blessed to help those who need it. 💜

Sorry! Which product heat protection is the best?
Thank you. I needed to know this . I have coarse hair so I guess I'll look for tourmaline
Does cost matter when it comes to purchasing flat irons. There’s a huge range and the Revlon is definitely affordable.

So if not 450 then what temperature 🤔

Thanks fam! Yeah, titanium is popular, but if you aren’t careful, it’s really easy to damage the hair
That was the BEST explanation of the different types of irons! Thank you‼️ Love your videos
Thanks so much! I appreciate you!
Thank you for explaining the difference between all the irons. I have medium strands and I went ahead and got a titanium but I set it to medium heat, use a heat protectant, and the chasing method with one single pass. It works really good but I always err on the side of caution and I'm an obsessive rule-follower when it comes to my hair.
This exactly what I needed to understand, which flat iron to buy for my fine curly/straight hair. Thank you
I have a Chi and I love it. I've turned down the temperature because of you. This video was clear and helpful. ❤
Lynnwood the content you post has made me feel very confident + less insecure about wearing my small braids, locs and twist in public spaces.
This helps me out a lot, now i know i should be using just straight ceramic! I have fine hair strands, but alot of them. So now I'm gonna make sure i take smaller sections at a time thanks! K-bye . 🤗
Years ago I had a wet2dry flat iron. The hair sizzled. I can't believe I did that. Thanks for the video!
I had one of those…and it got stolen from my car (with a bunch of other stuff), and well I bought another one as I used to love it. But I have yet to use it again as I found one that is kind of working for me. As far as I know, the sizzling was just the water getting into steam mode.
This is what I needed to hear. Very informative and necessary for those of us who are not professional stylists.
Which one are you using?
The ceramic or the tourmaline one?
Totally great advice that's right on time! It cleared up my confusion on buying a new flat iron. As usual... Thank you! You are so appreciated!!!❤

It's bedtime here for us in London,UK. But saw the notification. Had to come and give the video a comment, like and add to watch later. Love your content 🎉
Thanks so much fam! I appreciate you!
This was so sweet how you really broke it down 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mr. Linwood, thank you so much for this video on how to select the perfect flat iron for your hair. I learned a lot from that video. I usually have my flat irons set on 450 and with burnout my hair but I have stopped doing that and now my hair shiny and bouncy because I used the tourmaline flat iron.
I'm from the stainless steel days, but I have fine hair, so after learning about ceramic, that's what I went with, plus titanium scares me, lol. I didn't know much about tourmaline, so thanks for the explanation. This is a very informative video. 💜
My joy! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Linwood for this important information. I’ve been thinking of using a 8:02 flat iron on my natural hair but I didn’t know which one to use . Now, I think I will try a titanium flat iron.
I think this flat iron will work and fo wonders for my hair. Thank you
Im so glad i went to your channel to see what you be up to. I literally added that Babyliss Titanium to my wishlist (i still might get it) but the video came in handy and in the right time!! It's given me alot to think about, thank you for the free knowledge. Thsts why i love this channel 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I bought a titanium flat iron and I didn't like it, not even on my hair weave. I immediately felt the difference and knew I would have to lower the temp and my hair is fine in diameter. So I dont reach for that one at all. I will definitely be selling it.
Wow I needed this information but didn’t think I would find it on YT. So glad I did a search and found your video! I just learned from you now that tourmaline is best for me! Thank you!
Thank you ! Finally, I know what flat iron is good for my hair type.
Please consider doing a virtual hair class. I love the way you teach.
Thanks for that! I learned about only [1] slow pass rather than going quickly from this video!
As far as firing up the oven to 450 degrees, that’s fine for pizza or searing a steak in the oven but I’m not looking to singe My fringe.
Thanks again!
OMG, thank you so much, Linwood, for explaining the difference between the types of flat irons and for explaining the proper way to use the tool. A former professional stylist I went to burned the crap out of my hair because he used the hottest settings to blow dry AND to flat iron my fine hair. Additionally, he went over each section repeatedly as you demonstrated in your video. HE is the reason I decided to go natural 9 years ago. I haven't had a flat iron touch my hair since 2014. I've been terrified to do so. In fact, I wouldn't even let anyone blow dry my hair for years because I was terrified of getting heat damage again. I finally (and nervously) let a professional stylist blow dry it for the first time in 2021 in order to get braids for my vacation trip. After seeing your video, I MAY consider getting a silk press. Because of your video, I now know what questions to ask my stylist should I decide to try a silk press. Thank you, again, for educating us!
High respect for you for breaking down the difference and how it affects your hair. Loving your humor. Just subscribed to your channel , I love how you keep it real.❤💯
Hello Linwood! I’ve been checking every couple of weeks to see if you posted! I hope all is well with you and your family! Continue to take the time you need and we’ll see you when you return! 🙏🏽😊
Thank you for this awesome tutorial on flat irons. I tell my clients the same exact thing but now I will knock them upside their head with this video. You are the best boo. Have a blessed day 🙌🙏🥰
Thank you!! This video was extremely helpful. Now I need to donate my flat irons as I have the wrong ones but that is ok. I haven’t flat ironed my hair in 2 years. I knew something wasn’t right, now I know why! Thank you very much!!
I’m Im glad I watched this before purchasing a flat iron. Thank you! ❤❤❤
This was right on time and what I was looking for. The way you explained it….chef’s kiss.
Can you please do a tutorial for the proper way to wrap your hair for the night after a silk press 💗. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much. My fine fragile is extremely grateful for this information. Now, to find a small plate ceramic flat iron. The struggle was real. With your video, I now know what to look for. ❤
Thank you so much explaining. I felt like I was damaging my hair with Titanium. I’ve lowered the temp, started using smaller sections and one pass. After a cut to get rid of some of the damage that I did, I see a difference with my new technique but I think I’m going to still switch back to ceramic or Tourmaline.
This was VERY helpful and informative! I’ve always been confused as to which type of flat iron works best. Thank you for explaining this, so glad I just came across this video.
I have have all the flat irons but I have the water flat iron. But baby I haven't used hit on mine since 2019. I haven't used hairproducts in two years. I chopped for the 3rd time because my hair was long and matted. I was wigging it before my last chop, and now I use clip ins.
You know what, SUBSCRIBED! Off this one video alone I feel more comfortable with the information on how to properly take care of my hair and pick the right products for it. Appreciate this perfect explanation and video! Going to check out your others now 😌
I'm glad to know the difference now. I don't use them at the moment, but thank you for the schooling of purchasing another one in the future. 😊😍
Very, very, very informative. Never knew there were different kinds of flat irons for different "fabrics" of hair. I don't know what kind of flat iron I do have, but I know it is not titanium.
This is so informative! I’m glad I found this video 👏
The Lord bless you as well, brother! Amen!
Going to try tourmaline. I have a bad dominant shoulder so cannot blow dry my hair and have trouble wrapping my hair to dry. I have a Tymo hot comb but only works when my hair is relaxed within the first month.
I find that the size of flat iron matters. I have just enough hair for a 2" but it prefers 3/4". Since cannot find that at some point, I began using 1".
I used to have a Conair Pro Infiniti that was out in 2015, but then 3 years later had to let it go.
I briefly had a Remington Anti-Static, it was good.
Briefly had Remington Shine Therapy. It was alright, could be better. I used at a time I had not relaxed my hair in two years.
Last September I went back to relaxing, but if I find the right iron, going to see about quitting again.
The first flat iron I ever saw was when I was 17 or 18. I was at a flea market and this was back in '93 or '94, maybe '94. Could be '95 after I graduated HS. It was white, and on the plates some blue fabric. Had no idea what it was.
Now am going to look for tourmaline and look at reviews. I'll leave alone Titanium and skip the temptation. Little lady not want to start my 48th year bald, especially when I grow hair literally only 1" per 12 months even without relaxer.
I have all three types. I noticed that the "blue" one got my hair straight, fast but it was lifeless. I got a cheapie tourmaline that I use but my hands down, all time favorite is the Chi. Shiny, bouncy hair that's soft.
Thank you, that was an excellent explanation of the different types of flat irons and the effects of each one!!❤
Enjoyed listening to the video, you sure do know how to engage an audience and you teach well! Thanks
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Oh my you are sooooo good at explaining!!!! I am so happy I stumbled on your channel. You are great at what you do and I could listen to you all day. You are calm, clear, and a pleasure to listen to you definitely know your work very well. Thank you for putting up this information for free.
Thank you so much for explaining the difference. I've always wondered which is best for my fine hair.
You provide EXCELLENT information. I have learned so much about hair care thanks to you. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and expertise.
This made SOO MUCH sense for why ceramic-tourmaline straighteners work better than ceramic-only on my hair, but don’t burn my hair like titanium! My titanium babylis not only had weak/gaping clamp, but completely seemed to fry my hair 😢 Is the AG tourmaline your top recommendation for a tourmaline flat iron?
The BEST explanation ever! My first time watching you, Love you already!
this was hands down THE BEST video I’ve come across for information regarding the differences in these tools 🔥 thank you so much!
Thank you for the education on flatirons!❤
I was ready to throw my flat iron away that I had for 15+ years. But I am glad I didn't! It may be old, but fortunately, it still works and it is ceramic. I have fine hair strands. I hardly straightened my hair, but I got spoiled when the hairdresser straightened my hair a few months ago. Now I have to find your video on how to maintain it, lol! Thank you so much! You funny!😂🤍
I think my curling iron is stainless steel...
Thanks Linwood, I rarely use heat but I have heat implements that I was afraid to use but now I'm better educated on their use. You're absolutely fantastic. Appreciate you. I love watching your videos. Following you across different media platforms for some time and always loved your personality and sense of humor. Thanks again and have a blessed day. 🙏🏽
I found your video very helpful. I will stick tourmaline flat iron. I love the knowledge you provide all of us. I just subscribed to your channek a week ago. I am guilty of two passes through my hair. I will take smaller sections. I get impatient with my medium texture 4B hair when it comes to flat ironing or using a hot comb.There are days I miss relaxed hair when it comes to flat ironing my hair. 😂
This video is amazing!! Finally I understand the different. You are so helpful. thank you so much
You are awesome!!!! You are definitely operating in your gift!!! Funny but informative and concise. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for all you do
Love this video! It all makes sense now. I hate that these flat iron companies don’t provide this info, could save a lot of people from damage. My stylist uses a titanium flat iron on my hair and babbyyyy that thing don’t miss! If I style at home, I stick with my Dyson flat iron on the medium setting, cause I ain’t bout to hurt my hair anymore. Recovery takes wayyy to long.
This is the BEST explanation I’ve seen on flat iron types and fine vs course strands. Back in the day people used to automatically describe kinky hair as course and looser curls (like type 3) as being fine, not realizing you can have very kinky, tightly coiled hair and still have fine hair or silky loose curls that are very course. I’m glad you explained this. On another note, if I have very fine type 4 strands, but already spent money buying a titanium flat iron could I avoid damage by using a lower temperature or would it damage my hair no matter what?
Enjoy your videos, I wear wigs most of the time or head wraps watching this Almost makes me want to wash and flat iron my hair. P.S. you must have went to my school uphill both ways and in the snow.
Blessings 💜💚
Lol we definitely went to the same school! 😂 thanks so much for watching fam, I appreciate you!
Thank you so very much. This was VERY HELPFUL. Now I know which one to buy. Thank you again 👍🏼👍🏼
VERY GOOD EXPLANATION!👍🏽 My experience with ceramic, they (pull on the hair), and ddnt get hot enough to straighten, they also short out quick, and have to pay more for a better one; so I use titanium now👍🏽best for me.
Thank you! I learned something today 😊 and your voice is nice and calming!
Thanks for telling me the difference. I thought I had course hair but I think it maybe be thin. To be on the safe side I went with ceramic and have to do two passes. Thanks for showing me the size section. 👍✌️
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have not been able to straighten my own hair in years. I hope this works for me.
This was so helpful! So thankful for your content. May God bless and keep you. May your channel thrive and reach many and be blessed to help those who need it. 💜
