Good thread A,
I will say just this, most of the problems with heat are coming from improper use of it. Even with all the threads about heat protectants, people still don't know how to properly use them and people still don't understand how to properly use their heat appliances.
We see alot of threads here asking for the best flat iron to do a,b,c but you don't hardly see any asking about proper technique. People are still buying irons without temp. control, weilding them haphazardly in their homes and then get the confused face when they have problems.
And as the OP has already pointed out, all heat isn't the same and using ceramic and tourmaline irons produces a different kind of heat that effects your hair in a totally different way.
The fear of heat is what is keeping us afraid of it. Its hard to get great discussions about heat because all people know to say is don't do it. Most people are still not educated on it enough to be able to establish their own baseline and how theirs could be different than someone elses. Not to mention the fact that when used properly, you can actually get benefits from it but thats another thread.
