Once upon a time, women actually would take real irons to their hair as a way to get that straight, sleek look people adore. Obviously, this would cause hair to get seriously damaged, with some women literally burning their hair to a crisp.

These days, you don't have to take a clothing iron to your hair. There are flat irons out there that'll straighten it perfectly. However, most flat irons can be seriously damaging to hair, and if you don't believe it, look at what happens to this girl's hair in the YouTube video.
