Perfered flat iron temperature?

Question

What is the perfered temperature to use on your hair with a flat iron?

Answer 1

hmmm... it really depends on the texture of your hair.

My hair is pretty wavy and about medium thickness, so I do it at the "25" number on my straightener (which is the highest) I did it at around 12 the first few times after I got it (according to the directions), but my hair never really looked that great. If you've been using a low setting, i would really recommend raising it up a few degrees each time you use it to find which temp is best for your hair. when i tried 25 the first time, my hair looked perfectly straight and flat.

ALSO: if you have bangs (whether they're regular "straight down" bangs or side-swept) i would REALLY recommend lowering the temp setting because when I did my bangs at 25, they stuck straight up!!! So i lowered the setting to about 15, and they lie straight and perfect.

you just have to try different temperatures to find what works best for your hair :)

Answer 2

i like any temp. depending on if i am having a bad hair day.

So it's usually around 5-10 degrees.

But it also depends on your hair type.

so if you have thin hair like mine stay within the lower temps.

and if you have thick har go with the higher temps!

Goodluck sweetie<3!

Answer 3

anywhere from 140 to 200 is what i use. . .

What up with the first answerer? 5-10 degrees? Even in Celsius thats only 50 degrees Fahrenheit...not much.
