Hey Glamfam! In this video I am discussing what the difference is between titanium flat irons, ceramic flat irons, and tourmaline flat irons. Knowing this is important depending on the type of hair you have so you are less likely to burn your hair! As always, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments! Until next time y'all, take care, God bless, and stay glam!

Thank you so much! Question. For black fine hair but lots of it does price and type of flat iron matter. It’s so overwhelming with all the different products but I do want to invest in a good quality iron

@tehaniakana1584 8 ай бұрын

Sorry! Which product heat protection is the best?

@barbiedoll5766 8 ай бұрын

Thank you. I needed to know this . I have coarse hair so I guess I'll look for tourmaline

@kristamcsween2467 8 ай бұрын

Does cost matter when it comes to purchasing flat irons. There’s a huge range and the Revlon is definitely affordable. I have fine hair however it does say it’s a ceramic tourmaline mix.

"You don't even bake cookies at that temperature" had me laughing! Thank you so much for the explanation. Even though I don't use heat on my hair often, maybe once every few months or so, I was in the market to find something that would work well with my fine 4c hair. I now know I shouldn't even look at titanium. Hope you're doing well. 🥰

@GetGlamFam So what if you have a titanium iron and yr hair is low porosity, medium strand thickness... What temp should you use? Or on a tourmaline? What temp should you stay on? Can you give to 400? Is it necessary...for a good silk press?😬

Omg! Someone finally explained the difference between flat irons. I've had a titanium iron and, yes, it burned my hair more times than I can count. I've also had ceramic, which took longer to get my hair straight. Now I understand why and the options that are on the market. Thank you for your thorough explanation.

Honeyyyy when I tell you, I ran out to purchase a ceramic/tourmaline flatiron. I tested the regular ceramic against the ceramic/tourmaline I set both at 375 I parted two even sections on the same side of my head The ceramic poofed within seconds and the tourmaline fought the humidity. The real test will be after I start to sweat in my head Ill use the tourmaline one for the bulk of my hair. Ill use the ceramic on the nape and edges where my hair is finer and crank up the heat to 410. I cant thank you enough.

OMG, thank you so much, Linwood, for explaining the difference between the types of flat irons and for explaining the proper way to use the tool. A former professional stylist I went to burned the crap out of my hair because he used the hottest settings to blow dry AND to flat iron my fine hair. Additionally, he went over each section repeatedly as you demonstrated in your video. HE is the reason I decided to go natural 9 years ago. I haven't had a flat iron touch my hair since 2014. I've been terrified to do so. In fact, I wouldn't even let anyone blow dry my hair for years because I was terrified of getting heat damage again. I finally (and nervously) let a professional stylist blow dry it for the first time in 2021 in order to get braids for my vacation trip. After seeing your video, I MAY consider getting a silk press. Because of your video, I now know what questions to ask my stylist should I decide to try a silk press. Thank you, again, for educating us!

Linwood, Sir Linwood! Thank you so much for this!!! I'm actually in the market for a new flat iron and really was having a hard time deciding on which kind to buy. But thanks to you, I will clearly be leaving The Titanium Hell Fire Flat Iron the Hell alone. Though I do have thick hair, but I notice now that I'm 64 I notice that it is not as thick in some places. And kinda over the natural but don't really want to go back to relaxers. Cause I grew up where Mom sent me the "Beauty Shop" to get my hair straight cause her arm was getting tired., LOL. I like the look, just don't want to work so hard to get it straight. And a HUGE thanks for the tip of using thinner sections and not passing the iron over and over on the section. I don't flat iron my hair much in the summer, I do in the fall, winter and spring. Thanks again Sir Linwood. Knight of the Shinning Flat Irons! Hug, kisses and best of wishes. 👋🏽👋🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘😘

Excellent explanation. I have been flabbergasted with the current irons as the last time I used one often was the old school stainless steel 4 inch wide ones! The new ones are so sleek but with relaxed hair (twice a year) I am already doing the most so I restrict heat to drying under hooded dryers or the occasional hot rollers. Those are overlooked I feel, I use the Conair Ionic rollers for curls in 20 minutes while I am able to do my makeup and I get voluminous curls that last. As always thanks for the great info!
