Well, yeah, it can... but you don't keep the iron in your hair long enough. And it's recommended to use a heat protecting product in your hair as well to protect it from damage. Even though it's up to 450*, you only have it on your hair for a very short amount of time... for me, I have chin length hair, and from root to tip, I pull the iron through in a matter of 1.5 - 2 seconds max. If it's not straight enough, I leave it for the hair to cool down, and do it a second time a minute or so later. I've never burned or damaged my hair yet!
