this flat iron REALLY DOES repel humidity, and even drops of water! my friend has course hair, and i straightened her bangs, and she got water on it, and it didn't even change! it stayed smooth, sleek, smelling good, shiny, and straight! i have pretty very silky hair, my hair is just like Amerie's (google her) and i have the sedu original flat iron, and in the rain and humidity, my hair BARELY messed up. it was raining, lots of water, and my hair barely freaking got messed up, i sware, all i needed to do was brush it again and i would be okay! BUY IT I RECCOMMEND THE ORIGINAL AND THE REVOLUTION!

that is probably because most straighteners dont have the curved edge plates that this one does. i know how you feel, i have the same type of hair and i was also skeptical but i have had it for a couple of months now and it is AMAZING! trust me, it works!

I have hair similar-sounding to yours. I use the Sedu to straighten my hair, and it works great. I haven't used it to curl my hair (don't need to!), but it works great to shape and bend the hair, and curl the ends under. Absolutely no ridges or bumps!

Well, you don't need to use this straightner if you want your hair to be curled. You can though, but using products to tame hair also works. Try this: 1. Wash hair, towel dry 2. Try the CHI silk infusion or Biosilk(can purchase on folica) add nickel sized amount work through wet hair. 3. while hair's still wet add dime amount of Tresseme Curl Care Bouncy Curl gel(can buy at grocery store or drugstore) 5. Comb hair w/ a wide toothed comb to assure that hair products are spread throughout hair. 4. Consider using a diffuser attachment when blow drying, it really helps, move that in a circular motion untill dry. 5. Hairspray hair lightly.

I have very thick, poofy, volume blessed AA hair. This Sedu makes it so sleek, straight and flat that I dont have to iron again for like a week. The fact that I dont have to iron day after day is awesome as I dont have alot to time to spend on styling my hair every single day. I iron on Sunday night and just give the edges a bit of a bump through out the week. In my opinion I would say go for the 2008 Sedu. It really works wonders :-).

I have biracial hair. I have both a sedu and a ghd. I find that the sedu is less damaging to the hair but it does not repel humidity as well as the ghd. With the GHD there is absolutely no frizz and you can really walk through a light rain and still have sleek straight hair. however, with the ghd my hair was starting to split at the ends. With the sedu my hair is straight and has more bounce but it does not remain without freeze in really bad humidity. now i am using my sedu, but will probably go back and forth.

My hair is slightly longer than yours and very thick. This iron works great for me.

Stick with the 1 inch plates. It won't change the time it takes to straighten. :) I have tried them both and no change in time. Also, 1 inch is supposedly better for styling.

Yes - Adjustable temperature: 180 ºF - 450ºF (120°C - 230°C) for all hair types. For bleached, fragile, damaged and fine hair, the lower setting is advised. For normal hair and regular use, a middle range is recommended. For coarse, thick, ethnic and resistant hair in healthy condition, maximum heat on a high setting is recommended.

I believe that the Sedu works better! I am pretty sure the old version would work fine.

i would say go ahead and get this one inch, i have long hair (way below shoulder) and with a one inch i feel i have more control. i recently had a two inch, and after straightening it would look weird and chunky. one inch is so much better :)

It depends on how thick your hair is. My hair is to the middle of my back and the 1" works fine for me, but my hair is pretty straight to begin with and not thick. If your hair isn't too thick either one will work fine.

I think the following feaures are unique to Sedu Revolution: 1. Ultrasmooth ceramic tourmaline plates - ensuring sleek, smooth result. 2. Freestyle Guiding System - capturing all the hairs within the plates, preventing them from slipping outside the plates.

Sedu revolution retains all the great features of the Sedu original irons. Its desgin emphasizes the versatiities: straightening, curling, waving and crimping.
