Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1")

There are many good reasons why this product has over 1000 reviews! Ive had my Sedu for over 2 years without any problems and highly recommend it!Ladies, whatever your hair texture is - from afro to curly to frizzy to wavy - this is the straightener to get. I have thick & chemically relaxed Black/African-american hair, and this straightener does the job for me. I use it on the highest setting without any problems - I have never burned my hair and it always comes out soft and shiny. This Sedu also does a great job of straightening my roots even when my relaxer has grown out a bit.I have a diverse group of girlfriends with a varity hair types (Asian, White, Black, Latina and Middle Eastern) who have all used my flat iron on their hair, and they all love it!! Some of my friends with fairly straight hair have used it to get that smooth look (similar to a blow-out), and other friends with curly/coarse/ethnic hair have also used it with much success! If you have fine hair or somewhat straighter hair, you probably only need a lower setting. If you have tight curls or coarse hair, you will be ok even up to the highest setting. A good blow dry will also make it even easier to use the straightener.Here are some extra tips to keep in mind:- DO NOT bend the cord. DO NOT wrap it around the iron. This can damage the wiring within it and cause it to break, which is why it can eventually stop working. Gently gather/loop the cord up in a circle, separate from the iron. DO NOT bend the cord!!!- Try not to drop it. Duh, right? Treat it like the remote....after enough falls and drops, it will probably not work anymore.- Dont leave it plugged in for too long. The iron will run through cycles just like any other electronic product, but leaving it plugged in for hours can eventually lead to a burn out. Dont expect it to heat up perfectly forever, but moderate use will extend the life of it.- Keep the plates clean. If you use a lot of products or serums, wipe down the plates between every use! This will prevent any products from caking up on the plates and cooking the next time you use the flatiron. Dirty plates can cause the coating to chip, and can both the dirt and the chipped plates will pull your hair. No bueno... so wipe down the Sedu after each use.- Straighten your hair in SMALL sections. Dont expect to plow through fist-fulls of hair and walk out the bathroom like Pocahontas ;) You have to part your hair, and work through small (usu 1-2 inch) sections, and slowly press the flat iron through the shaft of the hair. Give it an extra press as you get to the ends, just to smooth out any frizz.Hope this all helps you decide to get the Sedu - its the best flat-iron Ive ever had!!

I purchased this a week after i got my CHI to compare the two. Sedu is by far better than CHI. It does not pull on my hair, nor burns my ends like CHI does. It also left my hair a lot smoother and silkier and the style lasts longer. Sedu is also more lightweight than CHI so no more tired arms. lol. I returned my CHI and sticking with sedu. ;)

Im an African American 16 year old girl with relaxed but very very very thick and dry hair. Sound familiar? than this is the flat iron for you!! i tried it out for the first time today and i anxiously waited for my mail to come so i could use it because i do my hair every saturday. (took about 6 days to come) well i am in LOVE. This beats out my ceramic flat iron i had before and it wasnt any cheapo one either it was an h2pro that my mom bought at a beauty supply store. It works pretty well but it was tiny only 3/4" and even tho my hair is collerbone length, it was just to small. I use this iron on maximum heat of 410 degrees and it dosent burn ur hair or anything. it makes it feel sooo soft and healthy. i was so surprised at the new texture i had. i only had to run it over my hair about 2 times when the last one i had i had to run it over at least 4 or 5 times! Plus, this is the week of my relaxer and it dosent even feel like i need it anymore. My ends look rly great also, just like theyve been trimmed! its amazing. throw all ur other flat irons away. Relaxed, natural ethnic hair from completly normal hair you really need this flat iron. it makes straightening SO much easier.

lol, there is not doubt about itthis is the best...

I just purchased the sedu 1" flat iron and I love it. It is definately the best flat iron I have ever used.

I purchased my Sedu after my Solia died about a year ago. I must say that I was not impressed. After the whole hype about the Sedu and the $30-40 price difference I was expecting a miracle worker. (After all my Solia had put very high standards.) It does do an extremely good job at straightening my hair but Im not impressed.The texture of my hair feels very different from my Solia which I felt left my hair more soft. The Sedu make my hair feel kind of "dirty" and oily feeling. Now Im not trying to say this isnt an excellent flat iron and is a piece of crap but when time comes to reorder a flat iron I will definitely save myself some money and go for the superior product which is the Solia.

for years i would iron my hair and never the get results I wanted! My hair is curly and wavy so i can never just leave it down without ironing it or picking it up! I used the maxiglide which was okay but didnt give me the results i wanted. Then I got the sedu and i love it! It gets my hair really straight and your cant go wrong with this item! the only problem i has was that after a month for some reason the bottom wasnt align anymore which means when i put the plates together they arent align so hopefully I will be able to get a replacement because i love this iron!

All in all, I love my Sedu. It heats up quickly, I can vary the heat level if I need to and my hair doesnt get caught in the plates. Sounds ideal, right? Wrong.I am now experiencing the same cord issues as other people mentioned - if the cord isnt twisted in the proper direction, the flat iron wont turn on. I believe that if youre going to spend $108 for a flat iron it should last. Sedu knows they have a faulty cord which is why they dont cover it in the warranty. I have had much cheaper flat irons last much longer. Theres no doubt that the Sedu performs beautifully, but it lacks longevity. If you decide to buy a Sedu, make sure you keep everything you need for the warranty because youll definitely need it.

I have used the Chi, Sedu, and I recently purchased the Solia. My sister has the Sedu. I was not willing to spend as much money on a Straitener so i got the Solia, and i did not want to get the same thing because we live together. However if you want quality i really recommend the Sedu. Its a really good product. I have thick hair almost to my t and its wavy/curly. It gets the job done. I live in Texas, and it is super humid. The Solia is a good product for the money, but it leaves my ends super dry and i have to go over a cpl of times. The Sedu you do not. So if you want to spend the money get the Sedu if not get the Solia
