What is the best flat iron (hair straighter) I could use for my hair?

Well, I have very 'think, curly and color treated hair,' and I鈥檝e always wanted to have that 'silky and sleek' look. Currently, I have a Revlon Stylix, and it doesn't work the way I want it too. I have heard a lot about a flat iron made by 'Chi' and I was wondering would that be right for my hair type? Also, my current flat iron now has about one inch plates. Is that ok to use for lots of hair, or should I get one with larger plates. I would really appreciate answers of any kind of help!


Thank you ;]What is the best flat iron (hair straighter) I could use for my hair?
I've been loyal to my maxiglide for over a year now and i don't know what I would do without it! I have curly, frizzy hair and every iron I had used before just flattened my hair and it looked like poop. The maxiglide brushes and straightens in one simple glide and it's steam burst smooths the hair. It's ceramic plates don't damage the hair, although I still suggest a heat-protector spray. Trust me, it works miracles.What is the best flat iron (hair straighter) I could use for my hair?

What's the Best Flat Iron on the market right now?

Last I heard Chi is the best flat iron on the market but now people are saying different brands. I have thick wavy %26amp; curly African American hair. What's the best flat iron for me?What's the Best Flat Iron on the market right now?
the Sedu amazing!


%26amp; yes i have owned it for about a year. its $115 at folica.com and you can buy it at an Ulta store but idk how much it is there. The outsides don't get that hot that you cant touch them, but they do get warm. Im not sure about curling because ive never tried it cos i have the 1 1/2 inch, but i heard you can with the 1 inch.


I like everything about it :) There is a ready light so you know when it's ready- its hot the second you turn it on so there isn't much waiting. My hair hasn't gotten dry or damaged by it, which is great haha. It doesn't pull or snag at your hair, and you wont get split ends from it like most flat irons! It's also very light weight, compared to the Chi.





btw- i have extremely thick, wavy, frizzy hair and when I use the Sedu, people dont believe me when I say I straighten it everyday, because they think it's natural!





the Sedu was rated the BEST flat iron, and the Chi above averageWhat's the Best Flat Iron on the market right now?
mmmm yes my hair is very course, and frizzy


i used to have a solia, it was good for the time being (2 years) but then it gave out on me. i wouldnt reccomend it for someone woth curly, course hair. now i have the chi, which works EXTREMELY great!!! and also amika is very good. AND i think GHD is very goos, it works with all hair types, and its ceramic, like the solia and chi, so it doesnt burn your hair!


good luck. for any extra hairstraightening tips, or more information go to http://www.zimbio.com/Everything+You+Nee鈥?/a>
a CHI


i have it


and it works


great


and im sure on you too


it is the best iron on the market


salons would tell u the


same





good investment..
I'm not sure for your type of hair but I use the one made by hot tools, it's not a ceramic iron though. If you're wanting your hair to stay healthy use a ceramic iron.
sometimes its better to get the less expensive one rather than the most expensive. I dont know why but I got a pretty good hair straightener and it wasnt to much.
My hair is very thick and the sedu has helped tame my hair. Make sure you use a heat protectant as well.
The Sedu
The CHI Iron is the best and you can find it at Sally's beauty store
my hair salon reccomended the biosilk


and its working really good for me
Chi in my opinion. Works wonders
Chi !

Conair mine works great

What's the best flat iron heat protection spray?

I have fine blonde hair so I have to be careful...Seems like all the sprays I've had make my hair look greasy....any suggestions?What's the best flat iron heat protection spray?
Try the Alberto VO5 heat miracle.. im not so sure about the 'heat miracle' name but im sure its an alberto product. the one which bottle is colored red.. its a spray protection against blow dryers and flat irons. You can also try the L'oreal Hot Straight, with the pink bottle. I use the hot straight and it works for me a lot becuse it adds shine but does not look greasy. Aside from protection against the flat iron, it protects your hair from the sun. :)What's the best flat iron heat protection spray?
Try the GHD product range. Your hair will look full and healthy. Goodluck :)

What Is The Best Flat Iron Chi Or Sedu?

my flat iron just broke :@


nd i am in need of a new one


and i really want a good one


i knoe that chi and sedu are very good is there any thing better and what is the best?What Is The Best Flat Iron Chi Or Sedu?
Sedu is good! I have one! I love ittttt, it straightens and heats up REALLY fast, and doesn't pull your hair out!!!





www.folica.com ...you can read reviews about both products!What Is The Best Flat Iron Chi Or Sedu?
I have the Sedu one and I LOVE IT. It really heats up super fast....I put my fingers on the heating things and I felt it heat up in like...10 secs then it got too hot lol.


I'm sure the CHI is good too, my bff has one, and she says it's good..


But I love my Sedu better (: It's way lighter!

Report Abuse



i've never heard of sedu but if it comparable to chi, it must be a good straightener too. you can look into the pros and cons of each one and decide what would be better for your hair type. for me, it is a chi. but you could check this-





SEDU:


1) Lightweight


2) Straightens better


3) Does not catch hair or break hair


4) Have temperature control (good)


5) Heats up fast


6) Hair softer and shiny for my thick hair.





CHI:


1) Heavier


2) Cheaper


3) Straightens well


4) No temperature control (fixed temp)


5) Breaks easier





i found that on a previous article on yahoo answers written by salon gal. but you could pick whatever straightener you prefer
Sedu is by far the best straightener out there!


-It doesn't damage your hair (That's what it says on the box!)


-You can adjust the temperature up to 410 degrees Fahrenheit


-It has a tourmaline coating


-It's light weight


-It heats up in 20 seconds


-Can curl, flip, %26amp; straighten hair!


-It keeps your hair silky with every use! (No joke!)


-It's wayyyy better than a CHI or GHD straighter, because CHI's %26amp; GHD's damage your hair a ton, and you cant adjust the temperature. It got a lot of bad reviews, and they break very easily, believe me.


-It can cut your straightening time in half.





So get a Sedu! It got a lot of great reviews %26amp; VERY FEW bad ones.





And Sedu got an award by Allure magazine for best straightner, and an award at folica.com. MANY celebrities also use this straightener. And some celebrities at the Emmy Awards recieved one!





It's a $115 though. It's well worth it! BELIEVE ME! I've used a lot of straighteners and this is truly the BEST you can get!





Hope I helped :)





And with this straightner, it makes your hair stay straight all day! even with the humidity. Just dont get your hair wet.





And just straighten it normally. Divide your hair into sections, and dont keep your fingers too close to the hot plates, or else you'll get burned! And don't buy a Solia straightener. those are just stupid! it's very easy to get burned because the hot plates are made to close!





So buy a Sedu :)


Take my word for it!





Just go to the website I gave you and look at the reviews. All of them are great! They also include pictures of hair, before %26amp; after straightening!











By the way, it's a Ceramic Tourmaline Professional straightener.





Don't get ANY other straightener other than this. Dont get a Coriolis, GHD, CHI, Solia, or all of those cheap non-proffessional you can buy from Target or Walmart, they dont work good at all!








By the way, those really cheap ones you can get damage %26amp; dry your hair out like no tommorow!


trust me, i've used A LOT of straighteners, and sedu is by far the best one!





oh and you can purchase one at ULTA or www.folica.com.
I have a chi and it works really well. But then I ordered the kiyoseki and it is amazing I have very thick curly frizzy hair and I think it is better then my chi it makes my hair very straight. They both cost around the same amount but I would recomend the kiyoseki.
I think Sedu works better than Chi because there are haircuts dedictated to the Sedu straightenr, not Chi. I've never use either so i'm not exactly positive though.
chi! i have a very curly hair (and a lot of hair..) it's below my shoulder and it takes me about 20 minutes to perfectly straighten my hair. i have a few friends who have sedus and they are not very satisfied with them..
i have never had a sedu but i absoulutely love mmy chi amd every one i know loves there chi
Chi would prolly be better..
CHI rox!
I like Chi, never heard of Sedu and I've done hair for the last 14 yrs. so I'd go with Chi...
WELL I HAVE REALLY CURLY HAIR AND THE CHI ONE WORKS LIKE CRAZY.. I DONT NEED TO PUT NOTHING IN IT. IT LOOKS SHINY, SMOTH
chi
well...

If you're considering purchasing one of the sedu ceramic hair straighteners, you might well be asking yourself the question, are they worth their price? In order to answer this it is important to analyze not only the cost of these sedu flat irons but also what you get in return.





Many people will already be familiar with the sedu hair straightener because of the publicity they have been receiving, especially due to the fact that many of the celebrities today are sporting sedu hair styles. You only have to do a brief internet search to come across the Jennifer Lopez sedu hairstyles or the Jennifer Aniston sedu hairstyles but you might still ask the question is this all just hype?





What Is The Sedu Ceramic Hair Straightener?





If you have ever purchased a hair straightener or have even enquired about one then you will know that they range in price from $20 to $150. These sedu ceramic hair straighteners will set you back around $130, so what do you really get for your money.

















Firstly you get ultra smooth plates that guarantee to straighten your hair without pulling or breaking. This is something that most other ceramic hair straighteners do due to their uneven surfaces.








The ceramic plates use tourmaline which helps to generate more negative ions that your regular ceramic straightener which in turn adds more shine and luster to your hair whilst eliminating frizz. These negative ions also help cut your straightening time in half.








The sedu ceramic hair straighteners use infra red heat technology which helps to seal in the hair's moisture and prevent damage.








The sedu hair straightener is lightweight, and has an ergonomic design making it easier to handle.








The sedu hair iron heats up in 25 seconds, saves on electricity, and comes with a temperature control which can be adjusted for individual hair types.








The sedu hair iron comes complete with a safety IDCI plug which is designed to prevent electrical shocks.








The 9 inch swivel cord on the sedu hair straightener prevents tangling and the sedu hair iron also comes with a one year limited warranty

i thought the chi was amazing but by the looks of it the sedu might be even better.


but your choice:)
I bought a Sedu at the beginning of this year. I read SO many reviews, and decided to try it out.





It broke in 3 months. Literally. The spring broke in it, and it wouldn't clamp down on it anymore.





It didn't straighten my hair all the way (it flipped out at the ends), and took just as long as my crappy straightener. The only thing that was exceptionally good with it was that it did put a little shine in my hair, and it didn't snag any hair either.





I have very wavy/curly hair. I'd suggest the Chi; my friends use it and swear by it.
