I have seen videos where people do between 3 and 5 passes per section.
How many passes do you ladies do per section?

How many passes do you on one section of hair when flat ironing?

5 passes are too many. YouTube is not necessarily the best place to obtain that important info....
At the Right temp - with the right condition... one pass. 2 Max.

One, all my hair really need
experimented with 300... but 350 degrees - 370 is best with Solia
I go pretty fast too, no not like speedy Gonzales.

One pass is enough for me. Sometimes I need to do the roots twice. I'm just learning how to iron, so maybe I won't need to re-do the roots, after I get better at it.
I tried ironing at a very low temperature, but I much prefer using higher heat and just doing one pass. I use a solid ceramic iron (Hana Elite).

If I were you, I'd stick to the 2 passes on 7. I say that because my guess is the two passes are probably necessary because your hair strands overlap and the iron doesn't touch all of them (maybe coz the section is thick). So if 7 is getting your hair straight, I'd stick with that.
I think the safest way to press your hair is to find the lowest heat necessary to press your hair. Since you get success with 7 and no damage, do not risk going higher just to minimize the passes. Two passes at 7 are way safer than one at 10 IMO.
If you weren't getting the results you want, that's the only time I'd suggest you increase the temperature. In other words, don't fix what isn't broken.
ETA: Remember it takes only ONE mistake to damage your hair...and that could be that ONE pass.

i do 2..1 with a comb and the last one without it
Maybe I need to "live" a little. I've only flat ironed my completely natural hair once with my maxi set between 4-5 and I ended up with straight yet poofy hair. I only passed 1-2 times.
Really, I think I need to figure out my technique cause for the back of my head (tops of ears on down) that setting was too high, but the rest just
at that setting.

One pass, two tops, is fine for me. Five is a bit much. However, my hair has gotten away with it in the past, but I wouldn't do that now. I have learned how to prep my hair better over the years so I don't need that many.
