I have a Solia--they're good flat irons that do less damage than even ceramics. At around 245-260 degrees, I can get my hair straight, but not so straight that I can run my fingers through it and it falls right back into place. Is that just my texture, or do I need to use a hotter setting? I have wavy (well, curly in humid weather) hair that isn't particularly fine or coarse.
What temperature do you recommend?
P.S.-->I use Aussie Leave-in Conditioner and Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide.

I have a bed head hair straightner and it doesn't damage my hair, mine goes up to 400 degrees.
If your in a rush I recomend 350-400 degrees.
It kind of depends on the straightner and your hair type.

I have the same type of hair as you it sounds like...when I go to the salon they use the Paul Mitchell straightener and always put it on the highest setting, which is around 425 degrees and it makes my hair look amazing...but my Chi only goes up to 300 something...just keep increasing the temperature and testing it towards the tips of your hair, not the scalp, to see which temperature is best for your hair. I tested out a temperature setting on a straightener one time near my scalp and it burnt my hair :( so definitly test it towards the ends...hope this helps :)

you are able to flow to very nearly any Black cosmetologist and that they'd inform you. If the baby has high quality or wavy hair, it extremely is extremely useful to to attend till the baby's older to apply warm combs or flat irons, or do no longer do it in any respect. yet once you opt to apply a warm comb, you will desire to verify that it extremely is electric powered and placed it on low. a similar with a flat iron. you will desire to basically straighten the hair as quickly as a month on the main and after the hair has been washed, conditioned and blown dry. you are able to desire to possibly wreck out with straightening the hair at a similar time as blow drying it. P.S. Why could you opt to straighten it besides? human beings pay a good number of money to get their hair wavy and high quality.
