How to Protect Your Hair from Heat Damage: 7 Flat Iron Secrets

7 Magic Flat Iron Tips 1. Choose the right temperature: When using a flat iron, it's important to choose the right temperature for your hair type. Fine or damaged hair should be styled at a lower temperature, around 300-350 degrees Fahrenheit. For normal hair, 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit is suitable, while thick or coarse hair can handle temperatures between 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Protect your hair: Before using a flat iron, it's crucial to protect your hair from heat damage.

"The Sad and Tragic Truth About The Allman Brothers Band"

Not a bad 10:45 video at all. Tragic yes, but a fairly accurate history of the band's excesses. And they went over the Scooter Herring thing but really gave Gregg a fair shake, going into his reluctance to testify and that Scooter gave him permission to testify. That last one I had never heard. Glaring omissions: They went into the deaths of the Toler brothers. But Lamar Williams and Allen Woody never get one single mention.

[Edited on 9/2/2019 by robslob]

With all due respect to the Toler Brothers it is odd they got mentioned and Lamar and Allen did not. Lamar was in the most commercially successful ABB lineup and Allen was in that hot come back lineup of 1989 to 1997.

I read an interview with Danny Toler and he felt Gregg kinda messed him over after playing lead for him from 1982 to 1989 just barely getting by doing a lot of average pay night clubs and small venues then just as they got a record deal with Epic and things were looking much better with a Gold album and much bigger gigs, I'm No Angel was Gregg's best selling album next to Laid Back. Then suddenly Gregg said Dickey called and they are getting the Brothers back together and if the tour does good they are going to do an album. And Gregg said Dickey wanted another guitar player in the band so goodbye and good luck. Danny said it was a big blow to him and Frankie Toler.

I got hooked on the band in January of 1970 and saw as many shows as possible. Jaimoe said just a few years ago there was an energy, spark and spiritual dimension that died when Duane and Berry split and the Brothers NEVER had that again. The band was never as good. I agree. It was never the same after Duane and though I saw a few hot shows between 1978 and 1982, the lineup with Danny Toler was the most removed from the original lineup feel and vibe.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was another band that lost it's unique energy and vibe when Ronnie died. It was just never the same. Dead without Jerry is another.

The REAL DEAL Allman Brothers only existed from 1969 to 1971. Not long at all. And it was never the same after Duane. I'm sure all old fans would agree with me. And Jaimoe.

And Gregg said Dickey wanted another guitar player in the band so goodbye and good luck. Danny said it was a big blow to him and Frankie Toler.

Well sorry to Dan but NO ONE can argue what Warren brought to the band. And he had the vocals and the slide expertise, the slide having much to do with them going back to their original sound. Toler didn't add that dimension, not EVEN.

The REAL DEAL Allman Brothers only existed from 1969 to 1971.

A lot of people have said that, and hard to argue since that was the original six guys. BUT. there was a TON of good music made during the 25 years from 1989 - 2014. I know because I witnessed 20 shows during those 25 years. Especially from 2000 - 2014. Gregg didn't get clean until around 2000, after that everyone was clean and the band just took off. There are PLENTY of Instant Lives around to prove this point.

Robslop. No question there were hot shows after the original line up. I saw 3 in 1973 with the Chuck/Lamar lineup that smoked on the Brothers and Sisters tour. Listen to Southbound and Ramblin' Man live on Wipe the Windows . That 1973 tour kicked butt as good if not better than the Derek/Warren lineup of 2001-2014. The 1989 lineup with Warren and Allen was especially hot through the early 90's. I saw smoke left on the stage with the Jack/Dickey/Otiel line up in 1997 and Derek/Dickey in Las Vegas in 1999 was especially hot.

I agree with Warren being a better choice for a Brothers line up than Danny. Danny could light up some leads but he didnt play slide and Dickey doesnt enjoy electric slide and Warren is a good singer.

As to the original six. Listen to Liz Reed or You Dont Love Me off of Fillmore and One Way Out and Trouble No More off of Eat A Peach today to refresh your memory. I haven't head ANYTHING from the Derek/Warren 2001-2014 lineup that swings and drives with that kind of energy. NO guitar player EVER in the ABB played with the energy and power that Duane Allman throws down on his solo on Liz Reed from Fillmore East. Listen to it today then see if you can find Derek, Warren or anyone equaling it.

There was an energy, vibe and swagger that poured off the stage from Duane Allman that was lost when Duane died and Dickey, Danny Toler, Warren or Derek couldn't touch. They just didnt have it. One is born with it if you have it. Elvis had it. Mick Jagger has it. Jimmy Hendrix had it. Ronnie Van Zant had it and when he died it died in Lynyrd Skynyrd. Skynyrd NEVER again had that mystical energy, drive and swagger that was on stage after Ronnie died.

The real deal Allman Brothers Band was from 1969 to 1971. The most commercially successful was the Chuck/Lamar lineup but mostly in 1973 and 74. By 1975 they were loosing it. Brothers and Sisters sold over 4 million copies and was number one for FIVE weeks on the Billboard top 200 albums chart.

The original line up was almost that successful eventually. Fillmore East sold over 1 million and Eat A Peach over 2 million. Other than a 1991 release covering 1969 to 1979, the band had only THREE million selling albums. Fillmore, Peach and Brothers and Sisters. After 1973 they just didnt sell albums like many other famous bands.

I submit the energy, swagger and vibe Duane Allman brought to the table is the foundation of the band even after he died . When you hear them on FM radio, with the exception of Ramblin' Man and Jessica, it's usually a cut that has Duane on it. I heard One Way Out and Rivival on the classic rock station here yesterday. Duane was in both tracks.

Did they have some real hot and satisfying shows after 1971? Yes. Did it feel like it did when Duane was in the band? No. Same with Skynyrd after Ronnie died. And the Dead after Jerry died.

3. Section your hair: To achieve the best results, divide your hair into sections before using a flat iron. This makes it easier to handle your hair and ensures that each section is evenly styled. Use clips or hair ties to separate your hair into manageable sections. 4. Start with clean, dry hair: Flat ironing damp or wet hair can cause sizzling and damage. Make sure your hair is completely dry before using a flat iron. If necessary, blow dry your hair first or allow it to air dry naturally. 5. Use the right size plates: Flat irons come in different plate sizes, including 1 inch, 1.5 inches, and 2 inches. The size you choose depends on your hair length and texture. Smaller plates are ideal for short hair or creating curls, while larger plates are better for long or thick hair. 6. Don't clamp too tightly: When using a flat iron, avoid clamping the plates too tightly on your hair. This can lead to excessive heat exposure and damage. Instead, close the flat iron with a gentle grip, allowing the plates to glide smoothly over your hair. 7. Finish with a hair serum or oil: After flat ironing your hair, use a hair serum or oil to add shine and smoothness to your locks. Apply a small amount from mid-length to the ends of your hair, avoiding the roots. This will help to seal the cuticles and give your hair a polished, sleek finish. In conclusion, following these 7 magic flat iron tips can help you achieve beautiful, sleek hair while minimizing damage. Remember to choose the right temperature, protect your hair, section your hair, start with clean, dry hair, use the right size plates, avoid clamping too tightly, and finish with a hair serum or oil. With these tips, you'll be able to style your hair with confidence using a flat iron..

I would suggest looking for other options in the market before considering this flatiron.

I regret purchasing this product and would advise others to avoid it if they want to protect the health and appearance of their hair.

4. Michael - 2 stars - The "7 magic flatiron" had some positive aspects, such as the quick heating time and lightweight design. However, these minor advantages were overshadowed by its major flaws. The flatiron didn't work effectively on thick hair, leaving it only partially straightened and prone to humidity-induced frizz. The poor quality of the materials used made the flatiron feel flimsy and not worth the price. I ended up returning it for a more reliable alternative.

5. Samantha - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the performance of the "7 magic flatiron." It claimed to be suitable for all hair types, but it simply couldn't handle my thick, curly hair.

It also lacked durability, as the plates started to chip after just a few uses. I would not recommend this flatiron, especially for individuals with textured or thick hair.
