I'm curious, what temperature do you guys normally set your flat iron to?

I Maxiglide on 4. I'm afraid to go any higher. I started at 3 and graaadually inched up to 4 after about the 3rd time doing it
I'm so afraid to burn my hair even though I feel 6 is probably my magic number! I'd probably do less damage by raising the heat up a little so I can still get the silkiness without having to go over it so many times. But I'm scurred.
When I was natural I used my Maxiglide on 10, full power! No fear.

(sniff...sniff) you smell chicken?HoneyDew said:When I 1st got mine I used 450 and almost burnt my hair off.
I think because I am relaxed, though.
I have even gone up to 370 and I start seeing smoke.
Yeah..that might be the reason...most people I know who have tex/perm/relaxed hair already have pretty straight hair, so they really don't need that much heat...but on the other side, most naturals NEED HEAT (or at least the ones I know....no blanket statement intended). My Niece has some SERIOS 3b hair..but if you try to flat iron her hair on 370, you'll be there ALLLLLLL DAY....AND it'll be poofy!!

My sedu- 360!
A lot of you are using really low settings... is it because you blowdried your hair before flat ironing? Or is it that you go over each section more than once? I've never tried a setting that low, but I dont think that it would work.
PS: On my old Hot Tools flat iron, I used settings 8-10.

I blow dry my hair and I still need 300-330 degrees.
My hair is just too thick and kinky to get it straight as I like it with only 200. It would be no point even using heat at all at that temp.

This thread will help me out alot. I have had my maxiglide for about six months now but I have been afraid to use it because I don't want to ruin my hair. I already had a bad experience getting my hair straightened at a shop.
