Clean your flat iron using rubbing alcohol! Also make sure your hair is clean of product build up. I always wet a paper towel with rubbing alcohol and clean my iron prior to flat ironing my hair and stop a couple times as well to clean. If your hair smells burnt even after ironing (like if you wash your hair and it still smells) it may just be a sign of heat damage. I always do protein / moisture treatments before flat ironing to help and when I wash it. I use the APHogee protein treatment for it!

Your iron is either too hot for your hair or you have excessive product residue on either your hair, the iron, or both.
