I have my FHI set around 325 or lower (about 300) when I am freshly relaxed. Why? It's sufficient and I don't want to set it any higher than necessary. My hair is 4b. My hair is fine and I am bonelaxed.

I use my FHI 207 RVI on 300-325 degrees. I use it at this temp because it gets my hair straight enough so it is no point in using it at any temperature higher than that. I am relaxed (texlaxed) and my strands are somewhere in between the middle.My hair type is 4a/b i think

300 for previously relaxed hair,330-370 for new growth

4a hair type



eta: technique really does matter, i am now able to straighten new growth at 260-300 by using very thin/small sections and pulling the hair taughtly while flat ironing.

I have the FHI that automatically goes up to the temperature no gage and I like it better than the one with the temperature on it. It's called an Auto-senese control and it automatically calibrates the heater based on hair texture. I think it gets up to 410 degrees? I can't remember but the Automatic one is my fav
