Is it best to flat iron my hair on a higher heat setting or to go over each section multiple times on a lower setting.

I'd say go over each section multiple times on a low setting :)

One time on a higher setting. You should really do two passes on each strip. One super quick pass to warm your hair, then the actual pass to straighten.

Between 350 and 400 is optimal and make sure to use a heat protectant like Redken Satin Wear

Always use a heat protector when using heat on hair. A great one is Redken Smooth Lock Heat Glide. If you're using the correct flat iron for your hair type you should only have to hit it once with the flat iron. Use a flat iron that has ceramic plates. Please see guide:

Hair Type & Length, Plate Size and Temperature:
Thick, Coarse, Curly Normal, Medium, Wavy Thin, Fine
Above shoulders 1 - 1½" Above shoulders 1/2 - 1¼"
Shoulder Length 1 - 2" Shoulder Length 1 - 1½" Any
Below Shoulders 1½ - 2" Below Shoulders 1¼ - 2"
380° - 410° 360° - 380° Below 360°
