First of all, you need to take smaller sections. Also, the heat may be too high for the ends of your hair so if taking smaller sections doesn't seem to work, then try flat ironing your hair like normal, but don't do the ends, then when you are done, lower the heat and work on the ends...Also, I hope you are using some type of cream, grease or moisturizer when you flat iron your hair because if you aren't, that's the main problem. You aren't doing anything, but burning your hair.
