Don't the titanium plate straighteners need a heat protector for the hair? The guy in the mall said its not needed.

No , not needed hair goes from wet to dry with ease no protector needed. The plates create steam better for the hair. My hair lasts longet and is in better condition than before. Love it.

I've never used any and my hair hasn't been damaged yet from this straighterI used heat protectors on the cheaper straighteners

These plates have a ceramic coating so I'm not sure if you actually have to or not. My sister has the same one and she does not. I would say it really depends the how hot you are letting the the flat iron get. I always use a heat protector on my hair if I'm using a heated styling tool. Hope that helps!

These plates are ceramic, and I don't use heat protector. My mall guy said the same thing, and everything seems good so far.

I think hot water is better. Not scolding hot as to cause damage. And as a general rule warmer water helps things "soak" in faster. This isn't coming from any background in hair care, more of a background in physics. So I could be wrong. But if something is warm it's molecules move faster giving more opportunities for something to soak in. A the helm escapes from a balloon faster if it's warm a an example.

I usually only straighten my hair with this one, but I tried it and it worked. It gets so hot that you can't touch the outside. It also heats up very quickly!

This product is not for that. If you want a really great product that protects your hair from flat irons try "Beyond The Zone Turn Up The Heat Protection Spray" I buy it at Sally's or online. I have six daughters who all have different hair and as long as I use this their hair stays protected.

No, I just straightened without product, I did however add product such as some kind of heat protectant (about quarter size portion) in palm of hand and massage through hair after straightening. For me and my granddaughter this works.

no it doesn't. I have had problems being forgetful about turning off past hair straighteners, so I had to write myself a note and tape it to my bathroom mirror. So far, I've remembered to turn it off everyday.

It could be used to help straighten hair if you use a hot blow dryer and pull out the curl. My hair is straight. I use it to do the last steps of styling. I like it because it helps to avoid static electricity.

Nop. But I don't think you really need it. It gets nice and hot so if you don't get too much hair it will dry nicely.

Yes you can. Just set the straightener to a low setting. Seeing as it is synthetic hair, it can catch on fire. So take your time with it when straightening it.

It seems pretty cool to me. The warm setting seems warm enough, which is what I always use. Don't think I would ever use the hot for fear of frying my hair.

Personally, the outside doesn't get too hot for me, which is why I love it. My old straighteners used to get hot all around, causing me to burn my fingers. I guess it just depends on the temperature you have it on. The outside does get hot around the max of 400. But at cooler temperatures, it obviously gets less hot!

I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL. They all look good when you open the box, but the plates aren't what they're supposed to be. So even if you could straighten your hair wet with the real one, you couldn't with the fake one therefore thinking the Nano product isn't good when actually its a fake. Think about it. A $200 hair straightener for $40? Don't make the same mistake I made twice. Buy a Chi for $69.99 at Marshall's. Its got tourmaline plates and you know its not a fake I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL.

NO..this is one of the major reasons I use this product..heat equals damage.. Before I used this product I hadn't relaxed my hair in over a year.. This product straightens your hair as if you relaxed it.. Once I flat iron it, styles last for 2 weeks w/wrapping at night..hope this helps

No need for a professional heat gun. A normal hair dryer woll do just fine.

A heat gun works well but a hair dryer will do in a pinch. A long time ago some would use the heat from a flame to heat it.

I have used a curling iron with this product and it was fine, I was told it will protect against heat and it increases styling so it would be a great product to use. I love it.

It takes approximately 1 minute to heat up. However, I no longer would recommend this straightener. From my own experience, the company has poor customer service and my straightener malfunctioned after having it for a few months. Try a GHD straightener.
