Naturals and flat irons

[sbg4evr]

Does anyone of the board that has natural hair use a flat iron to press their hair? If so, which brand of flat iron.

i dont have my hair pressed a lot but once in three months or so wen i get discouraged about my hair growth there's a lady that irons my hair for me and she uses the ghd flatiron which is really good coz its not too hot and is ceramic

ghd? Is that Gold n Hot D......I'm lost on the D

No, she probably means GHD straighters like this one:

It's from this website Styling Shop.

When my stylist flat irons my hair he uses a marcel flat iron that goes on the stove. It comes out very straight and lasts for at least two weeks

Ooooooohhhh.....I'm interested in trying the Hot Tools 1 1/2" ceramic one because the plate goes all the way to the end of the iron. I never seem to be able to get to my roots and I snag hairs trying to. So if anyone has this iron can you let the board know your results. Hot Tools Ceramic Iron

I use the skinny Jilbere ceramic. I previously had the wider Jilbere but it would snag my hair. I'm much happier with the narrow plates.

thanks miss brown thats the one she uses and i love how my hair comes out coz its real straight and swingin!!

Does your hair look it was done with a pressing comb? I used Conair steam flat iron and my hair looks like I blowed dried it straight. Not smooth at all.

I use a flat-iron by Revlon that has 20 heat settings.

Mine, too. It looks like a relaxer and lasts a while.
