What is a safe temperature for straightening coarse hair?
Well I've gotten my hair to the kind of long length I have wanted it, but in order for it to look need I usually straighten it, and my hair type is really frizzy/coarse/wavy hair. I got a pretty expensive paul mitchelle straightener last year for a gift, and it can go up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, so what would be a good temperature to get my hair silky smooth (i do have a heat protectant serum as well) and prevent it from breaking the effect later on in the day from wind, humidity (i live in south texas humidty can get pretty bad down here), and other factors like that? And any other advice as how to keep it in a healthy condition?
I posted this same question somewhere else on like a forum website, but of younger people and they said I was cooking my hair 0_o....so as long as I have the protectant my hair still should be in a relatively good condition? Because
Stage 1 : At and below 150 degrees C (302F)
Loosely bound water and tightly bound water is lost from the hair
Stage 2: At 160-175 degrees C (320 -347F)
Hair undergoes a glass transition phase (meaning the hair begins to flow as hot glass would). Plastic deformation is possible (meaning in a 'normal' hydrated state, hair is elastic and can stretch and return back to its original length. Hair does also have temporary plasticity which is why styles like roller sets, twist outs/knot outs can occur. However at this heating stage, the plasticity is NOT temporary, the hair may return to a 'normal' looking state but it will not be exactly the same)
Stage 3: Between 215 and 235 degrees C ( 419-455F)
The keratin in hair has a natural twist to it knows as an alpha helix (α-helix). This twist is present in all keratin, whether straight hair or curly hair. At this stage the helices of the hair protein melt (not reversible).
I would suggest 150 degrees. And keep it there.

Curly hair question?
ok so i have wavyish curly hair that looks good sometimes but tends to frizz a lot. its not like rly tight curls. heres what i usually do:
rusk shampoo & conditioner
neutrogena triple moisture deep condition about once a week
put in a towel and then put in tigi s factor silky smooth moisture serum
and it still frizzes! any recommendations or ideas for me? btw its medium in length a little past my shoulders but much longer when its straight
Ooohhhh! I have the same type of hair and the same problem. However, I recently switched to Matrix Sleek.Look shampoo and conditioner and I started using Aveda anti-humectant and Mizani Humidity Resistant spray and my hair is soooo much better! The difference is amazing!
