Title: A Review Of My Sedu Flat Iron

I bought my Sedu flat iron about 6 months ago and am really pleased with how my hair looks. After my old faithful Corioliss flat iron broke - after 3 years - I wanted to find a replacement that would give me straight, shiny hair every time but was anxious as I'd read lots of horror stories about ones that broke hair ends or even burned hair. I was going to buy a Corioliss again but at the last minute bought a Sedu instead and, like I said, I'm really glad I did.

I didn't buy the Corioliss because of two things; it is expensive and my friend, Debbie, already had a Sedu flat iron and I really liked the way her hair looked. We have very similar hair types; both are thick and a little dry, mine being a little bit longer. After I tried using her hair straightener myself I had no doubt that the Sedu was perfect for my hair.

I ordered the Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline flat iron online. There are two models available; 1" and 1 1/2", I chose the one with larger plates. It cost me $100.

I tried it out as soon as I took it out of the box. I washed my hair - I use Redken Smooth Down shampoo and conditioner. I also use Redken AntiSnap Leavin to stop split ends - it's an excellent product - and Frederic Fekkai Straight Away Straightening Balm.

The Sedu flat iron heats up in just 25 seconds and it has variable temperature control anywhere between 240F and 410F (120C - 200C). Because of my hair type I set it on the maximum, but you really should test it out first on a lower setting, gradually turning it up until you find the temperature that works best for you.

My hair just glided between the plates, no pulling or snagging. The plates are really smooth and I didn't have to clamp them down hard to get my hair straight. The company says that most hair can be straightened in just one pass but I found that I had to pass it through 2 times, which is what I had to do with my old Corioliss flat iron anyway.

Another thing I like about it is the swivel cord. I know just about ever new model now has one but my old one didn't and I used to find the cord twisting and getting knots, but with this tool the cord stays perfectly straight making it really easy to use the straightener.

It's also very light. It weighs only 1lb so I don't feel my arms or wrists getting tired - it usually takes me around 35 minutes to do my hair.

I really am pleased with how my hair looks using my new Sedu flat iron. I guess I should really thank Debbie for showing me hers and letting me test it out. It just makes it so much easier to know if something will work best for you if you can test it first.
