4a/b's - Who Flat Iron - What Temperature Setting Do You Use?

[NYLegalNewbie]

If you're a Type 4a/b who flat irons, what temperature setting do you use?

Also, do you find that if you roller set that you're able to use a lower temperature setting?

I don't know if you're looking for natural or relaxed 4's, but I'm relaxed and I never take it over 300.

I'd be interested in hearing from everyone actually

I am 4B and I flat iron on occasion (every 3-6 months). I use a Maxiglide to flatiron my hair, although I don't know what temperature is, the setting is between 5 and 6 on the dial.

I am texlaxed and I use between 300 and 330 depending on how close I am to touch-up time. Never go higher than that though.

I can use a lower setting after a fresh relaxer but after the new growth starts coming in I turn it all the way up

 

[PeaceFlow]

Anyone with fine hair....

Im natural 4a but I cant turn it up more than 150 coz Im scared for my fine strandserplexed

I really don't know what I am, 4a or 4b, but I'm relaxed and use Maxiglide between 6-8 with no damage or breakage. I'm not sure what temp that is.

I use the highest setting because I like my hair really straight...I don't know how to roller set..Maybe when it gets a little longer..

I have almost 3 inches of NG and I use my CHI. I don't know what temp its on but it glides through my 4a hair and does a great job on my 4b hair (even though that part of it reverts almost a day or so later). I have some 3c and I barely have to touch it with the Chi if I detangle first.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I have a maxiglide and i set it between 8 and 10 (10 is the highest setting)

 

[Babychoc]

I have a ceramic H2pro flat iron and I use it on 450.

400 with my Solia

I'm relaxed and I never go higher than 220 on the new growth and 170 for the relaxed hair. So between 17 and 22 on my flat-iron's dial. The limit my flat-iron reaches is 420 degrees.

I’m transitioning, so my flat iron is in retire mode, but I usually do it on a medium or highest setting. I have a CHI
