Product Rating: 5 amazing!
Reviewer: Leeann from beamsville, ontario  Tue Jan 15 2008

i must say i was thinking its just another one of those straightners that are said to be such a good product and they really suck. My hair well its got a kind of natural curl and a real poof ball if i dont straighten it. i had been looking at buying a chi, i had my heart set on one, and then before i wanted to make the commitment to buying it, i decided to actually read more then just a few reviews and im GLAD! Its amazing as SOON as i turned the iron on, the heat is CRAZY! i have an endless battle after i first straighen it to keep the curl at the bottom of my hair gone and so far is HOLDING Up, it shall be a good test on this tonight, but i must say i would probably buy another one after this one, and its SO soft my hair is usually soft but its JUST hard to keep your hands OUTof it after you use it. In all BUY ONE:) sure the chis good to but it has to many possible problems with them breaking so much, so this is deffinetly a MUST product!

Product Rating: 4 Just okay
Reviewer: Kristy English from Malvern, Arkansas  Tue Jan 15 2008

I was expecting a total miracle. I don't think it cut down on my styling time and I didn't notice that it made my hair any straighter or sleeker than my Revlon hair straightener. My hair is somewhat course and naturally wavy and very thick. I keep a pretty short angled bob and have my hair colored every 5-6 weeks. I love my hair and spend a lot of time on it and quite a bit of money on it. I like the Sedu, but don't think I will pay the same cost for it again. I would say it is only a little better than average- definently not worth $100+. Maybe I will try the Chi next time.

Reviewer: Karen   Mon Jan 14 2008

I'm a 50 yr. old, grey-haired, novice with flat irons. My daughters liked another brand, but I stepped-out and picked this one. We all love it! Call it a mid-life-crises, but I've grown my hair out for the first time in 10 years. This iron is gentle on my thick, wirey hair, and leaves it smooth and soft.

Product Rating: 4 pretty good
Reviewer: jessica calderon   Mon Jan 14 2008

Product Rating: 5 highly recommend
Reviewer: Dana from Potsdam, NY  Mon Jan 14 2008

i have had curly hair for my whole life and never wanted to straighten it for fear of looking like shelly duvall (you know, the chick who played jack nicholson's wife in the shining.) we all know how GREAT her hair looked (definitely, not). but then i decided to give it a try and did lots of research on which brand to buy. this site had extensive reviews by numerous people who all said the sedu is great so i tried it. well......IT IS!!! it really tames my flyaways and gets it super straight. i bought the CHI silk infusion with it, which i must recommend you use before you dry it to make the most of your blow out. i really think this flat iron is just super and highly recommend it!

Product Rating: 4 Best flat iron for cost - shipping to Canada only issue
Reviewer: Kim from Toronto, Ontario  Mon Jan 14 2008

I have been the owner of MANY straighters and when my last one started to wear down I did some research. This was by far the highest rated, most popular flat iron in North America and more than worth the price. I've since had friends visit, use my iron and purchase there own from here afterwards.

CON: shipping to Canada. As Folica.com ships via UPS there is a COD on the package. Translation: you must be home to pay the COD. They will make three attemps during the day and after will ship back to Folica.com (will not hold at an outlet). I begged my front desk to take the $5 for the delivery. Plan B was to stay home from work.

Product Rating: 3 Good...But I wouldnt say its GREAT!!! like all the others on here.
Reviewer: Straightner Addict. from California  Sat Jan 12 2008

This is why...I have been using my HAI straightner for about 3 years now....but after replacing it twice and my second iron having the blue coting come off..i went and searched for a better iron. Impresed with all the review i decided to give the SEDU a try. When it arrived...i was excited, as i took it into my hands it seemed very flimsy...but then again the article does say its light weight. so thats good.
Now my straighting time wasnt affected at all, it still took me 40 minutes to do my hair....maybe its because i take good time to do my hair. But thats besides the point. The only thing that bothered me was that the iron HEATS UP INTENSIVELY. I am unable to hold the iron from the tip of it to have better control of making curls. My fingers are sore from the heat. So its not that good to curl hair, unless you are very good at making curls with one hand. ALSO, my cord was not a revolving cord... :/ what the heck...so as i was trying to curl my hair....the cord kept getting tangled. so thats my review...

*its good, and it IS very light...good
*didnt see super fast straighting time
*iron gets SUPER hot to the touch (i had it at 320 degrees)
*cord tangles as i twist to make curls.
*before i forget...i did notice NO BREAKAGE of my hair like i did with my HAI. only 3 long hairs but thats normal.

*overall i would buy it again, but only if they would improve the heat control.

Product Rating: 5 Love My Sedu!
Reviewer: Haley from TX  Sat Jan 12 2008

I love my new Sedu flat iron! It's the BEST, it heats up quickly and straightins my hair quickly. Before I had a conair and I THOUGHT I loved it until I tried my Sedu. I've tried both a Chi and T3 and Sedu is still my favorite. Try a Sedu, I promise you will love it!

Product Rating: 5 I love my sedu!
Reviewer: anonymous from Pennsylvania  Sat Jan 12 2008

I received this flat iron as a christmas present from my boyfriend, because I had researched it & read everyone else's reviews I had high hopes & expectations for sedu. I must say.. my expectations were met completely. This straightner has given me the best results of any straightner I've ever used, this is salon quality results, it's amazing. My hair looked so healthy and feels so soft and light, and it STAYS, even overnight!

The sedu is also extremely light and heats up real fast! I have shoulder length hair, a little bit longer than that now, and my hair is quite thick, but I've found this extremely easy to manuever throughout my hair, easily reaching all sections and close to the root.

I recommend this straightner to EVERYONE who loves straight hair & has to straighten their hair.

Product Rating: 4 Very Surprised
Reviewer: Jessica Lynn from Pittsburgh Pa  Fri Jan 11 2008

I bought the sedu after reading other reviews and seeing the pictures. I am an African American and usually keep my hair in micro braids or kinky twists. I haven't had a perm in 6 years. I will never get a perm again. I like my natural hair so much better even though it is hard to manage. My natural hair is very strong and thick but delicate at the same time. I need to condition and press it in between braiding so that there is no breakage. I break teeth out of hair dryer combs (and regular combs) all the time. I thought, what the heck I will try this sedu thing. I was just going to do a small portion to test it and I ended up doing my entire head, it was so easy. Your hair gets a bit straighter and easier to manage each time you use it. I liked it. It's not perfect, my hair is super course, but it is good enough for me to manage my hair. The sedu made my hair soft and gave it a shine. Someone in the reviews suggested using John Frieda Frizz-ease hair serum so I did that. When I went to get my micros' my hair dresser of 7 years asked me what I used on my hair. She did not believe it was a flat iron. I didn't give it 5 stars because of my hair texture, I don't want people to think it's a miracle. On the other hand ANYONE can use this product and enjoy the results. It is a very good product. For someone who doesn't even have my hair type it wil be an EXCELLENT product.

Reviewer: Lily from NEVADA  Fri Jan 11 2008

I have super curly hair, and it usally would take me up to one hour to get it straight with the Chi I used to own. I hairstylist used the Sedu on me and I fell in love with it. I purshased my own and I takes me 20 mins. to get my hair silky straight. I would recommend this product to everyone.

Product Rating: 5 wow =]
Reviewer: Carrie from orlando  Fri Jan 11 2008

wayyy better than my last chi ( the pink one)
it actually gets super hot
my hair gets stick straight ( the old pink chi i had just kind of straightened it but not as pretty as this sedu =] )
it looks small but its similar to my pink chi, and it does get the job done.
wayy worth your money.
i researched for a long time and i'm much happier than i would have been with any chi.
just get it =]

Product Rating: 3 ok straightener
Reviewer: Diana from Arlington, Tx  Fri Jan 11 2008

I purchased the 1" flat iron based on the great feedback from other customers. It heats up quickly and straightens just fine, but it pulls my hair quite a bit. Maybe it's me, we'll see.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent
Reviewer: Merix from Charlotte NC  Mon Jan 07 2008

I bought a Sedu for my friend in Venezuela. She told me that it's great! (and she has a very very curly hair)

Product Rating: 5 An appliance I can't live without
Reviewer: Sue from raleigh nc  Mon Jan 07 2008

I thought I couldn't do without my blowdryer, but this flat iron has changed the texture and style. I went from frizzy, hard to manage hair to shiny and smoothe. I love this product.

Product Rating: 5 I love this straightening iron!
Reviewer: b-school girl from minneapolis, mn  Sat Jan 05 2008

I have very tight blond curls that I usually wear in an afro. But I just got accepted to business school and wanted a more professional look. This straightener is just what I needed. One inch is the perfect width for my short hair. The ceramic plates heat evenly and are so easy to clean--I just wipe them with a wet washcloth. I usually keep the iron around 120 degrees because that's as much heat as it takes to get my hair straight. Now I have a sleek, shiny, healthy looking hair style and I love it. The straightener doesn't fry my hair and it gets right down to the root. I've never burned my scalp with it. I love it.

Product Rating: 5 buy it now!
Reviewer: brittney from Florida  Fri Jan 04 2008

Product Rating: 5 AWESOME
Reviewer: Nikki from Ohio  Fri Jan 04 2008

I wanted a Chi for Christmas, so my husband relentless spent the money to make sure I received the only Christmas gift that I wanted... I used the Chi Christmas day and it got so hot that my hair was hot to the touch and it kept pulling on my hair.. I did a little internet searching and came across Folica.com and found all the wonderful reviews on the Sedu so I took my Chi back (after explaining to my husband that I had to take back his gift that he searched out for me for Christmas) and ordered the Sedu...It was delivered quickly and as soon as I got it I had to try it and OMG!!! Between the Sedu and the Chi it is night and day.. My hair is silky and shiny and there is no PULLING on my hair.. I highlight my hair alot so it needs all the special treatment I can give it and the SEDU is it!! IT ROCKS!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Amazing
Reviewer: Sedu Lover. from New York  Thu Jan 03 2008

I just recieved my Sedu yesterday and it is amazing. My hair is thick, long, wavy, and frizzy and usually takes an hour to straighten. With the Sedu it took 20 minutes and it left my hair pin strait, shiny, soft, and frizz free. If your having trouble deciding between the 1 and 1 and a half inch, go with the once inch. The one even though it says is for short hair, works great and fast on my long, thick hair. I'm so glad I got my Sedu. I did days of research to find a good flat iron, and this one is perfect.
I love my Sedu!

Product Rating: 5 Very Pleased
Reviewer: Hilary from Canada  Wed Jan 02 2008

I love my new Sedu flat iron. I had been using a drugstore straightener for years and finally invested in a good quality product. I am very happy with my purchase. Not only is it a great product, but it was also super fast delivery. I ordered Friday afternoon and received it on Monday morning! The only downside is that shipping is not free to Canada, it's actually quite expensive.
