My Beauty Space

I wrote a review on the Sedu flat iron some time ago, and had to post again on that very same hair styling tool because I really think it’s one of the best hair inventions ever for hair that tends to go awry in the humid weather, which we’ve had an abundance of here in Northeastern Ohio so far this summer! 

I bought a Sedu flat iron about three months ago, and I’ve had nothing but great results every time I’ve used the thing so far.  I don’t flat iron my hair every day by any means, because I do believe that’s bad for it, no matter what instrument you’re using on it because of the intense heat required for a good, glossy finish, but I do use it a few times a week. 

And since I only wash my hair once every two to three days, I still have an amazingly smooth, sleek set of locks even two days after I’ve used the Sedu flat iron, with no refinishing or restyling.  I’ve especially noticed how humidity resistant my hair is when I use the Sedu and go out into the steamy weather, because it stays just as straight and shiny as it was before I got our in the weather, and it doesn’t expand enormously as my naturally curly/wavy hair tends to when it gets out in the humid elements. 

I like to use a straightening cream, either by John Frieda or by Aveda, or I sometimes combine the two, but I’d stay away from the Redken straightener as it made my hair as dry as a broom, and also there is another one by Chi called Silk Infusion that is heavily scented that a lot of people believe works well, but it contains so much alcohol it’s not even worth it, and sure it may flatten the hair, but it also leaves it look lacklustre and like a bale of hay, especially for people who do not have thicker ethnic hair types, as I believe it is more for use on hard to straighten hair and so may use more harsh striaghtening ingredients. 

When I use the Sedu hair styling tool, I take section of my hair, starting at the bottom when I have it clipped or otherwise flipped over my head (I’m lazy about sectioning it off and usually in a hurry, so I improvise, if I didn’t I’d probably have an even better result), and quickly and gently run the sedu down the shaft of the small section until I reach the top.  In about five minutes I have a pretty straightened head of hair, and it really does resist the elements, which is key especially in the summer months.
