Flat ironing hair w/Olive Oil & Coconut Oil

[bermudabeauty]

Hello sexy LCHF ladies! I read a thread the other day and a lady had flat ironed her hair with coconut oil in it and she burned her hair out. I use olive oil in my hair daily and I flat ironed my hair yesterday with no problem. That is the first time I have ever done that. Should flat iron ever be used if you have olive oil and/or coconut oil in your hair?

I flat iron my hair using these products all the time. They are the only 2 oils I use regularly, and have never experienced any burning.

Probably depends on how much oil your using (not too much) and the temperature of the heat appliance (not too high-hot). I usually don't use direct heat on my hair myself.

I put a little bit of coconut oil on before I flat iron. It might be because she used too much or the appliance was too hot.

ok great thank you for the clarification.

Definitely do not do this. high direct heat + oils = just like deep frying your hair.

possibly, if you use a very, very low setting, or only a tiny dab of oil for your whole head... but definitely don't oil each section heavily before attacking it with an appliance on the maximum heat setting.
