Is the heat of the straightner bad for the baby am 15 week pregnant?

No problem: Your fetus is surrounded by a cushion of tissues and water (like a water bed). The only things that affect that baby are things that get into the blood and travel directly to baby. Things that happen on the skin surface do not affect your baby.
