Sedu... im not really into flat ironing my hair, but after seeing what the sedu did for my lil sis' 4b hair, i KNEW it was a winner...
 
SEDU!!! I've tried the Chi, Solia and now the Sedu. I like the Sedu the best. No forget that, I love the Sedu. Those other two left my hair frizzy and dry. The Sedu makes my hair feel nice and silky when I finish flat ironing my hair. Just my experience. :grin:
 
ur welcome...when your hair burns it'll crinkle up or have a jagged ruff feel to your hair, when your hair is smooth and soft you're all good.
 
hmm...i bought a chi and returned it for a solia...after reading these posts i want a sedu now. my 3c hair should be ok with the solia but i'm wondering how it will work on my little sister's 4b hair...

...or perhaps i should try it before i make up my mind to return it :lachen:
 
Ok I have tried and purchased the Sedu, and I just went to the salon yesterday and she used the FHI. I can't really decide which is the BEST because I didn't straighten my hair bone straight with my Sedu. Here is a before and after of the FHI on my hair. My hair is sleek, silky, and has lots of body!!!


Before:



After:





Leaning my head to the side. The hair just flows with the motion.
 
Does the sedu give off that burnt smell??? I would really like to know since I'm in the market for a new flat iron.

This so pretty, the shine is gorgeous!
 
i'm going to get the miniglide this summer for my twa. i don't really like stang coiled up all the time. my hair is asking for a break and with a chi...u don't want to get too close to the scalp with that sucker nor your fingers b/c it will burn them.
 
I don't like the way that my kind of hair looks flat ironed. :( I haven't had my hair flat ironed in a while- just blowouts for me. :look: But, that T3 wet to dry iron does look tempting. :giggle:
 
FHI!!!! :pepper: :pepper:

* How much you paid for it? 69 bucks from www.frizzy2silky.com (FREE shipping!)

* Results you get with it Soft, smooth, SWANGIN hair with ONE pass. One pass is all it takes on my relaxed hair and my dd's natural 4a hair and my hubbys natural 4b hair :yep:

* Size in Inches 1 inch

* What heat protectant/hair products do you use before you use it? The products vary, but I always use a spray leave-in and one or two serums (shine serum topped with a heat protecting serum). Green Grape Mist is my spray leave-in right now, I'm gonna use Taliah Waajid's Bodifying Mist next. CHI SI, FHI Hot Sauce, Fantasia IC Heat Protecting Serum and Fantasia IC Olive Oil serum are what I switch between lately.
 
I get so-so results with the FHI Platform Special Edition model. I have only used it 3 times since December. I want to try the maxiglide since I am not too good at blow drying my hair straight first.
 
i have the FHI heat technique or something like that and i love it. i only used it once but it took my all of 30 minutes to do my apl hair and its swanging like my sister's pregnant booty. its so soft and silky. i paid $102 and its worth it. i wanted the black and red one but they only had it in pink:perplexed.
 
i think im going to trade in my FHI for another FHI (maybe the runway) or a Chi. my FHI doesnt have temp. settings and the second time i used it it didnt look as good as the first.
 
* How much you paid for it? 130 something plus I had to drive about 1 1/2 out the way both ways

* Results you get with it: shiny smooth hair

* Size in Inches 1 1/2 they told it me it was a one inch but by the time I made it back home I realized it was bigger and just said bump it.

* What heat protectant/hair products do you use before you use it? I use Fantasia IC and turn up the heat flat iron prtectant.

Hi All,

I'm new here. I've been lurking for about 2 weeks.

I use a Maxiglide. Plate size is 2 inches. I paid $80 for it a few years ago. I use Sabino Moisture Block as my heat protectant. I usually get smooth hair from wash to wash.

However, I'm thinking about trying out the Solia.
 
I own a 1" FHI Ionic Professional. I love it.

Paid: $76.00 on ebay
Results - Silky straight even on new growth
Product used - Sabino Mositure Block and jane carter nourish & shine
 
Delta Airlines recently shattered my CHI iron, among other things, during a recent business trip (oh yes, I was pissed) and I used the refund they gave me to buy a FHI platform. That was the best decision I have made in a while. I've only used it once (cuz I'm tryna lay off the heat) but I could immediately tell the difference. I wanna try the FHI hot sauce with it though, I'm still on Chi Silk Infusion..
