I absolutely LOVE this straightener! It leaves my hair really soft and shiny. It's also super easy to use the curling feature if you want a little pizzaz! It only takes about ten minutes to straighten my hair, about half the time as before. Love it!!! Would highly recommend!
Awesome Tool

I am a male with fine shoulder length hair and I use this iron to add shine, reduce frizz and fix a slight wave.
I purchased the " Sedu Revolution Pro Nano Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron " because I read that it wont pull your hair and it does not.
The Sedu Revolution Pro is an awesome tool I have had a couple of the CHI Nano Styling Irons " that always pulled my hair " prior to getting the Sedu.
It is worth the money, my wife and I now share it, best of the best, we love it.
Works awesome on ethnic hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am half black and half Philippino, and my hair is very coarse and curly. The very first straightener I bought was the 1.5" first generation Sedu, and I loved it! It did a great job straightening my hair, made it shinier, and lasted for days. I had tried using my friend's Chi a few times, but it never worked as well. I recently got a shorter hair style, so I decided to get a smaller size and figured I would upgrade to the new model. It works wonderfully, and I can even use it to curl my hair :)
When I straighten my hair, I usually spray on a protecting thermal spray (right now I use Matrix Sleek Look Iron Smoother) after I get out of the shower....then straighten after I blow dry. If you have ethnic hair, and you want a straightener that works--BUY THIS! It's worth the price!!!!
My vote for number one flat iron.

I was extremely excited when I placed my order for the Sedu Nano Flat Iron; I already own the 1 1/2 inch and it works wonders! To my disappointment, I recieved an email saying that it was out of stock and wouldn't be delivered til almost a half a month later. A few days after, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my Sedu was hardly late at all, and I didn't have to wait to get it! Folica has excellent service, and I love my brand new Sedu Flat Iron! It works even better than my old one, which I didn't believe was possible.
If you don't believe me, the pictures should change your mind. I straightened a young girl's hair that is EXTREMELY long, EXTREMELY thick and EXTREMELY curly. With any other straightener, this would have taken all night. With the Sedu, it took a little less than 45 minutes. Her hair looked beautiful! I would recommend this flat iron to anyone, with any hair type.
my opinion on the new sedu and tips!!

after countless hours of research, i bought the sedu 1 1/2 inch and returned it because i thought i didnt need the extra 1/2 inch. i bought the sedu 2008 version instead. what i didnt like was the waiting, which took 2 weeks for the exchange. and my 2008 sedu didnt come with the heatproof pouch nor the CD! but it really did work good. unfortunately i do like the 1 1/2 inch better because it really does my hair in less than 5 minutes. this one takes 15 minutes and works really good.
tip: 1. my hair is fairly thick but if you have long, thick hair go for the 1 1/2 inch. also
2.if you want to curl, flip, or style your hair get the sedu revolution (and if u have short hair its better to go with this option).
3. third option is to go a little cheaper and get the old version of sedu 1 inch! it won't hurt, the new one isnt any better than the old one except its appearance.
good luck and buy a sedu!! you'll love it! :)
also- my pic i changed my shirt dont get confused!! :)
AMAZINGGGGG!

This straightener is AMAZING! when i read these reviews i was skeptical, but i just got mine yesterday and it is everything i thought it would be. It heats up quickly, glides smoothly through my hair, and i can use it to make loose curls or flips if i want. It took me 30 minutes to do make my whole head straight and smooth. It took me about 10 minutes to make it flip after. I've used many straighteners and all of them have taken me at least an hour to do my hair completely straight. Even after walkin in a snow storm, my hair stayed straight!...BUY THIS! I've used the CHI and the Solia and SEDU is the BEST for the price! I thought i was going to have to struggle with my hair forever! TRUST ME, BUY ITTTTTT!
Sedu is much better than CHI!

I received my Sedu Revolution today!
And it's a really good iron.
It heats up fast, and my curly hair get really sleek&shiny at only 350fhr. It's great!
And it don't pull your hair, like the chi does.
So i recommend the sedu revolution to everyone!
Amazing!!!

I have owned many a-different straighteners in my life time. I have always just bought like, Revlon, or Conair, products of that nature. After getting a really good job, i decided, "what the heck...Im going to spend the extra money and get a good straightener that I will have for a long time that wont damage my hair. Let me tell you, this straightener is a blessing from the heavens! I had super dry hair that was very damaged from my previous cheap straightener, when ever I would straighten it with that one, it looked dry on the ends. My hair was all messed up.(I also got a perm a few years back and straightened it the very next day so I had major damage from that). So the day after I recieved my Sedu straightener, I went to work and got NUMEROUS compliments on how shiney and smooth my hair was. I couldnt believe how soft it was after not even being able to run my fingers through my hair for so long!!!! I told myself I would take such good care of my straightener, but then being in a hurry one day, i dropped it and the next time i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt heat up...BUt let me tell you, Im buying a new one because it is so worth it! After not having silky hair for years (I wouldnt get my hair trimmed because I was trying to grow it out) I finally couldnt stop touching it!!!!! I love the Sedu, well worth the 140.00!!!!!
LOVE IT

I absolutely love this hair straightner. I was actually looking to buy a new CHI since mine broke, but I am so glad I went with the SEDU straightner. The CHI is good also but the SEDU barely pulls out any of my hair and it also seems to work better then the CHI I used to have!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love My New Sedu

This is the best flat iron I have ever owned. Not only does it do a wonderful job of straightening my hair, it also leaves a shine that I have never had before. Thank you Folica for recommending this flat iron!

I ordered my first flat iron on Valentines day and waited a full month before I received it, which I don't mind because I knew I was getting a good product that just kept being out of stock. It makes great curls that my thick unmanageable Asian hair otherwise would not get with a normal curling iron. Best of all the curls can last for days and all that without any harmful products.
It's ok!

I didn't think it was much different from Chi straightner, works pretty much the same. One thing I didn't like was the cord; it doesn't revolve when you turn the straightner so the cord gets all tangled. Other than that I am pretty much happy with it.
very good but not that great ... I prefered the solia (african american relaxed hair)

Not as impressed as I thought I would be. Don't get me wrong, the flat iron works well but I thought it was going to be magnificent after reading all the reviews... it got hot and it seems to not fry my hair but I would have to run the iron over the same place over an over to get it straight... sometimes 6 times! and this was when it was on a very high setting 400 plus. Additionally the iron snagged on my hair and broke of some strands. I returned the flat iron after 2 weeks and figured that i would just buy the solia which was said to be comparable quality but for much cheaper.
I just got my solia and I actually like it a lot more than the Sedu revolution! It glides through my hair a lot easier, no snagging AND my hair was silky smooth after one stroke on the same temperature I used on the sedu! Sorry sedu revolution, u were out run by the solia.
btw, I am not sure if these are just kinks in the sedu revolution... it is possible that the original sedu is better.
I got two bad ones

Ive always owned a sedu flat iron and after 5 years mine was starting to act funky so i decided to buy a new one and thought why not get the new one. I ordered one and within a mth it stopped working. The light turned on but did not heat up. I thought ok maybe it was dropped by my boyfriend and decided to suck it up and get another one. The second one within a week did the same thing. I was a little confused because i know sedu makes quality products. The reviews have been phenomenol on this product but i dont know if i just got 2 lemons. Oh well. The good people at folica returned it without a hassle but i think im gonna stick to the original sedu iron and not the revolution style.

I purchased the Sedo Revolution and the Sedu Moisturizing Heat Protecting Boost in hopes that they would cause less damage than some of the other brands I have purchased at local beauty suppliers. The iron itself is nice. The plates are smooth, the cord is plenty long, the curved edges do make a difference. The only problem with it I have found is that it doesn't get as hot as other irons and yet it still does damage to my ends, even with using the Boost product.
Better if it had a swivel cord

I got my Sedu 2008 after a month after I placed my order. It straightens my hair like a charm! I love the fact that my hair still has volume and doesn't lie so flat to my head as I have experienced with other flat irons. The only problem I have is when I try to curl my hair. According to the tutorial, you are supposed to turn the flat iron 180 degrees before pulling it through your hair. This is fine but after a while, the cord becomes twisted and curls up. From reading other reviews, I believe continued twisting of the cord will eventually affect the performance of the flat iron = possible electric shortage. I would have given the product 5 stars if it had a swivel cord.
A+

After reading all the reviews I ordered the new sedu. And, to my surprise the product really is nothing short of amazing! I have shoulder length, really thick wavy hair. Normally, it would take me forever to straighten my hair and it would end up feeling dry and looking fried and frizzy. But, with the sedu my hair looks smooth and shiny and it only takes a matter of mins to do it. Best of all, it's completly portable. Being a flight attendant, I need something fast, dependable and portable. It is superfast, keeps my hair looking great all day in every type of weather and it fits easy in my suitcase! Thanks Sedu and Folica!
Poor reliability

My girlfriend had an original model Chi flat iron that was a bit worn out at around 3 years of age and would only heat up if the cord was held a certain way. I decided to buy her a new flat iron for her birthday. I got her the Sedu Revolution based on the high customer reviews on folica and the fact that it has a 2 year warranty.
Overall she is happy with the how well the Sedu Revolution straightens her hair. She told me it is comparable to her old Chi, but has the benefit of adjustable temperature. She did mention that the plates are not precisely aligned. If you close the iron so that the plates are just touching there is a slight gap between the plates on the side nearest the hinge. If you apply a bit of pressure the plates align and have good contact from end to end. I don't know that this actually affected performance, but it's worth mentioning.
The reason I gave this product 2 stars is that despite good performance, the reliability has been bad so far. I gave it to her on December 28th, and the product failed and refused to heat up after only 2 months of use. It was not abused or dropped at all. I paid for return shipping to Folica and enclosed a check for $9.95 for a replacement, hoping she just had a lemon. The replacement unit arrived promptly to Folica's credit, but unfortunately this unit also failed in the same way after only 3 days of use, practically dead on arrival. I'm starting to question Sedu's quality control and I'm trying to figure out why there haven't been more negative reviews here, unless there is the strange chance that we're an isolated incident twice in a row.
Unfortunately this has put my girlfriend in a bind as she now has to borrow her roommate's CHI or use her old CHI that shorts out while she waits for a replacement, and it puts me in a bad spot because I feel responsible for getting her a product that doesn't work!
I'm calling Folica first thing Monday morning when their returns department opens to see how they handle this. I don't know whether to give the Sedu Revolution another chance or to try something else, assuming Folica will allow me to exchange for something of another brand. I asked my girlfriend and she doesn't really know what to try either.

i originally wanted a chi, but all of the reviews for the sedu convinced me to try it out. however, the day i got it , it stopped working after ten minutes. i wasn't suprised by the way it worked for the first ten minutes. it was decent but not better than the chi. it might not have worked as good since it was stopped working altogether 10 minutes later. i waited two weeks for it to arrive. i sent it back 2 days after i got it. and it is suppose to take another 3 weeks to get here, im very dissapointed, i just hope it works good, when it arrives again
