Ladies, remember that far infrared heat interacts differently with water ions so if you are using a ceramic/tourmaline etc... flat iron, the likelyhood of damage is much smaller. This is not to say that you can plug up your flat iron every day for a couple of months and not expect to have jacked up ends but it does decrease the percentage of damage to the hair. If you combine that with proper heat protectants and a regular conditioning scheldule, it isn't hard to see why some people prefer to use flat irons instead of rollersetting.
The reason being is because damaged hair is postitivly charged. By using an iron that produces far infrared heat, you are using an iron that produces negative ions so when used on your hair, the ions cancel each other out. All ceramic irons, which are irons with ceramic heaters, produce far infrared heat.
Heat affects the hydrogen bonding in the hair first so if you are starting with hair that has a higher amount of moisture before heat styling, you are giving yourself more moisture to work with. In essence, you evaporate the extra moisture, leaving behind enough to keep your healthy balance. Because moisture conducts heat, you might find that you can use a little less heat but have a better straighter final result. Don't forget that most heat protectant products protect your hair up to 400-450 degrees so if you are flat ironing hair, damp or dry, that has been given an extra thermal protection layer, the heat is interacting with this layer first and formost, absorbing alot of the thermal energy first.

I'm sorry if you already answered this but what leave-in did you use? I just recently found this board so I didn't know the aversion to direct heat. I've always deep conditioned my hair and used chi silk infusion and flat ironed away. I just spent a grip of cash on the FHI Runway and it says in the directions that you can use it on damp hair. Thanks for posting your results because I'm definately going to do this on me and my daughter. I can rollerset her okay but mine looks a funky mess. My hair has always been a decent length so I don't think flat ironing has been damaging me. One of the greatest things I've learned on lhcf is about adding moisture back into the hair!
Your hair is hot and your birthmarks are the !@#$.

TELL EM!!!
your hair came out very pretty.
so u just had a touchup only 2 days before u flat ironed??
I ain't no punk either ..but i just ain't doin it
LOL
yup I had to flat iron my hair cause my stylist left me with hard spots and weighed down hair. So I neutralized, DC'd and flat ironed.Sylver, man up, im pretty sure that long pretty hair of your will come out great. You'd be surprised...the moisture level is SICK.
thank you. I used Sally's GVP Paul Mitchell the Conditioner.
thanks...nah..its not about manning up

Your hair looks awesome! I've done this by accident before and my hair was so soft and silky. This method really locks the moisture in. Great job, Girl.
You're gorgeous and your hair looks FLY!
Another diret-heat diva here (although I am doing bootamp) and ya'll have me convinced! I will be flat-ironing on damp hair from now on
Thanks!!! Our coalition is growing

Hey Shtow,
Girl, you know your hair is THA BOMB!!! If you got it, swing it, cuz I sure would.
I read your post concerning the type of iron to use. Just wondering because I am an avid fan of damp to dry flatironing (sorry, but I also use coconut oil which gives a softness you wouldn't believe) but I have a GVP ceramic iron. Is it or isn't good enough? Anyone else use a GVP iron?

Thank you! Im sure it is fine to use. And yes, coconut oil is the truth! My hair, body, and face loooove it! It is my main product and has replaced lotions and moisturizers!
