Naturals, what temperature do you straighten your hair on?

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I have this iron and it is the business

I use 370. I have a Croc 2 infrared

Thanks! I think I'm going to go 400.

Bumping this old thread because I'm curious.
My last press I did 415 2 slow passes. It's the straightest I've ever gotten my hair.
380 still gave me bushy hair. Next time I'll try 415 again with one slow pass, and one quick pass.

What temperature are you ladies using now?

Usually 400. No ill effects.

I used 390 with my chi G2 (first time) and while it was straight, it wasn't silky. I'll try 400 next time....which won't be until October.

 

[chelleyrock]

I use 375.

I do several passes with 400 and 410 with no ill effects. It won't do anything to your hair if you have already protected it thoroughly beforehand.

Between 300 and 350. I rollerset on large rollers to dry my hair before flat ironing.

I use the highest setting on my chi, which is 410. Prior to flat ironing I strech my hair using curlformers and then I lightly blow dry.

I've had my hair flat ironed at 450 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% complete reversion but seeing as the keratin that human hair is made of burns at 451 degrees Fahrenheit, I would never allow a hair stylist to use a temperature that high again or recommended that heat setting to someone else. I wouldn't go above 400 degrees unless you have extremely resistant hair.
