Hair straightening, super hot.

Most hair straighteners don't work very well on my wavy, super thick hair.
My mom gave me a random hair straightener and it goes up to 410 degrees.
I tested in on a small part and it seems to do the job pretty well. However is 410 far too hot to even bother. I feel like that's hotter then I normally hear people use.
I do use heat serum.

I used to use 410 on my hair, before i went to the salon to get it thinned out. I never saw a problem with it. As long as you take care of your hair, it should be okay. But maybe think about getting it thinned out.

It depends on the hair. I use mine at about that temp because I have thick hair. Here's a guide I found:
"This way hair stylists recommend you to use: for fine hair that is a bit more sensitive max 360 degree F (180 degree) temperature, this is also valid for damaged hair, then for thicker strands and curls 380 -410-degree F (190-210 degree C) and finally for normal and healthy hair 360- 380 degree F (180-190 degree C). Keep these numbers in mind when you decide to style your hair both both a low and high quality flat iron."

If you're going to keep using it, MAKE SURE you use a heat protectant! I use Garnier Fruitice straightening protectant mist
