I'm Black and i was wondering if i used a ceramic flat iron would it burn off my hair...being that i treat my hair sort of differently. I would never dream of flat ironing my hair wet....but rather go thru a process of washing it, combing thru it, drying it, than putting like a pressing oil on it - i have invested in flat irons over a few years made by a company called Hot Tools? or somthing like that and theyve been okay, they just werent made with ceramic plates so i was just wondering....

my grandmother is a beautician from the old school, so she doesnt mess with the "new" stuff out there such as flat irons in general...but shes just worried about what she has heard and how they get sooooo hot.

so if anyone has anything to say to maybe answer my question i'd appreciate it

Hello, ceramic irons are so in demand because the ceramic is better for the hair than traditional iron plates. I would adise you investing in some good quality irons, that go to a high temp, as the result from these is amazing and you will never look back.

However i cant emphasise how important it is to protect your hair before you straighten! I use a 'hot iron protection spray' which protects the hair from the intensive heat!
