Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro Flat Iron Review
Well, I finally did it. I broke down and bought an expensive flat iron. And it’s about time, as I realize now, after using my new Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro flat iron a couple of times, since it far outperforms any of the lower end models of flat irons that I’ve had by Revlon, Conair and other lower priced brands of flat irons. I spent around $100 on my flat iron, and purchased it with another product that was designed to protect my hair and help keep it straighter longer, and get it straighter with the help of the flat iron.
That product was by Redken, which I’m sorely disappointed in and will review later on, but even though that product didn’t live up to my expectations, the Sedu flat iron is a superior product that made my hair look shiny and silky, and took only one time over the hair shaft to get it smooth and straight, whereas with other cheaper models I would be going over the same piece of hair a couple of times to get similar results, if I even got those types of results at all.
The Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro flat iron is superior for a couple of reasons, and there is also one or two downsides that I’ll note as well (there’s always a downside, even the most high end products have some sort of design flaw, let’s face it). First of all, the one I bought was a one inch, which is a very thin iron. I bought the one inch because you can use it both as a flat iron and straightener and also use it as a curling iron, which I haven’t tried yet but intend to.
The one inch does the same, if not a better, job at flattening and straightening than the wider versions, just so you know. I was a little worried about this but my worries quickly diminished when I saw the excellent results it gave regardless of the width. As I stated before, I only had to go over my hair one time, very quickly, to get a perfectly smooth, glass like surface.
Not only does the iron flatten and straighten the hair, but it also works as a sort of sealer because of it’s special surface, rather than rough up the hair’s surface like other flat irons, making it look frizzy, dry and rough. This is probably the biggest plus for me, since one of the problems I had with straightening my hair was how dry and coarse it looked after it was done. With the Sedu ceramic pro flat iron, my hair looks great afterwards.
The second biggest benefit I’m getting from this flat iron is that the results are long lasting. I don’t wash my hair every day, and normally when I flat iron my hair, the results were gone, with my hair frizzing and waving when I would wake up the next morning. Not so with the Sedu ceramic pro flat iron - my hair is still smooth and shiny the next morning, which I LOVE.
Now, for the downsides. The obvious downside is the price. The Sedu hair care products are higher end, professional grade products, and therefore they know they can charge a high amount for them. When you get the Sedu ceramic pro flat iron, it actually looks like it’s cheaply made because it’s plastic, but don’t worry, it still works like a charm.
The only other complaint, and I don’t even know if it’s that big a deal for me, is that the iron part does get extremely hot, so if you’re thinking you can press it together on you hair for additional straightening and pressure, think again, you will burn yourself. All in all I absolutely love my new flat iron, and would buy Sedu products again and again. I already own the Sedu ionic hair dryer which I love, so instead of a Farouk Chi iron, I decided on Sedu since it is a known quantity for me.
