Flat Ironing Question

[angeleyez09]

I know that you should not use straight oil on your hair and then flat iron it because it will fry your hair. But heat protectants have silicone and so I like to moisturize before I put on the heat protectant. I use the Silk Elements Silken Child Creme which has coconut oil, olive oil, peanut oil, and castor oil mixed in. I have the full ingredients below. So would I still be burning my hair if I put the moisturizer in and then put the heat protectant over it? And on a side note, I just noticed it has two types of parabens which I heard were bad in general. Is that true?

WATER ,CETEARYL ALCOHOL ,COCOS NUCIFERA (COCONUT) OIL ,CYCLOMETHICONE ,OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) OIL UNSAPONIFIABLE ,CETYL ESTERS ,ARACHIS HYPOGAEA (PEANUT) OIL ,SORBITOL ,RICINUS COMMUNIS (CASTOR) SEED OIL ,PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL ,POLYACRYLAMIDE ,C13-14 ISOPARAFFIN ,DMDM HYDANTOIN ,HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE ,METHYLPARABEN ,PROPYLPARABEN ,FRAGRANCE ,BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA BUTTER) ,SILK AMINO ACIDS ,LAURETH-7

Yeah it's fine to use the moisturizer and then heat pro.

Parabens are supposedly bad for our general health but I don't know a lot about them. I really don't worry about them in my products.

I don't see a problem with it. How often are you flat ironing your hair? Is this directly after a fresh wash and dry? If so, definitely shouldn't be a problem.

Remember, go light on the products. You don't want your hair to be greasy
