Heat DamageConsumer flat irons can be equipped with heat settings that go up to 410 degrees F or more. However, the AAD indicates that such high temperatures are unwarranted, citing studies indicating that exposing the hair to temperatures of between 347 and 419 for even five minutes can harm hair. When a hot flat iron is applied to damp hair or hair that's been bleached, permed or dyed, damage can occur at even lower temperatures. The AAD advises making sure the flat iron is no hotter than 347 degrees F, if the styling tool has a digital read-out or temperature setting, or using it on the "low to medium" heat setting.
