Sedu to the rescue
Reviewer:

from Portland, Oregon Wed Nov 12 2008
This has been the second day of using this Sedu Xti Ultrapower hair dryer. It left my hair so nice. Although I don't quite have a styling brush yet, so I'm using my on the go hair brush by Conair. When I do get a styling brush, it's going to be so much nicer. This hair dryer leaves my hair silky and it's bouncy and full, and will get better as to when it's used with a styling brush. I had to only give it 4 stars because I can't really say it's the best, unless I have tried every hairdyer on the market, also, it left it a little frizzy, nothing a better brush can't fix . I will have to see. As far as I'm concerned, this is way better then my old Conair hair dryer that was $13, it was an emergency hair dryer until i found a better one. I also had a T3 hair dryer but that didn't work out. However, I do have to say, this Sedu hair dryer is done a pretty well job, I have fine hair that's wavy and a lot of it. This hair dryer has turned my layered wavy locks into head turning locks with some nice piecey long layers I do really like my new Sedu Xti Ultrapower hair dryer, I really hope it sticks with me for a while. Just wish i could get their Sedu hair brushes. :( I will say it's worth the money.

I purchased this hairdryer 18 months ago. It has excellent drying power. When holding the dryer and moving around the head, it's very easy to flip the buttons and turn the dryer off. This happens repeatedly when holding the dryer by the handle/grip. Control button placement would be better, perhaps, on the back side of the handle. I would not purchase this dryer again for this reason, although it dries quickly and efficiently.

I am an ultra clearance shopper and have never considered paying over $30 for a hair dryer, let alone $140. However, I ordered a Sedu flat iron a few months previous and really love it. I heard from my hairstylist that it's really the hair dryer that damages a person's hair, so after much debate, I decided to try to Sedu hair dryer (to go along with my flat iron). I must admit, it's pretty amazing. My hair is naturally wavy - you know, the "in between" style...not too curly, but not really straight, either - and this hair dryer makes it so smooth and silky. I still do touch ups with my flat iron, but there are many times I just blow dry and go. It seems totally insane to pay $140 for a hair dryer, but I must admit, I'll do it again once this one wears out.
Surprised!

I have had problems in the past with my hair getting very dry on the ends and feeling course. I have thick Wavy medium lenght hair, I was getting so tired of everytimeI leave the salon my hair would be nice shiny and managable, but as soon as I washed and dried it would be back the same way. I was not so sure about putting this much money into buying a hair dryer since I tried my sisters T-3 which made my hair really flat and badly damaged. T-3's are very hot but dry quickly. After a year I decide to try the sedu. I am very happy and my hair looks like I stepped out of a salon every day it is shiny and managable with no dry ends. This hair dryer is wonderful and worth every penny I spent on it. The only down part about it is it only has 2 heat settings medium and Hight heat and oh yes a cool shot. there are also only 2 speed setting off is not a setting. To my suprise I am able to use High heat on a high setting and it does not damage my hair. I am definely sold on this product!!!!
I really like it!

Like many others, I was reluctant to fork over such a hefty sum for a hair dryer. I carefully read reviews of many dryers on folica and amazon before I finally took the plunge. I must say, I am very happy with this dryer. It does seem to cut some time off my morning hair routine, and leaves it feeling less "fried" than my Babyliss dryer did. My hair does feel sleeker and less frizzy. I still use a straightening iron, but with this dryer, I think I could actually leave my house without doing so.
I actually received my Sedu dryer very quickly after ordering it, and immediately left for vacation in July in the Caribbean. This type of humidity would be a true test for any dryer, and the Sedu performed splendidly. My hair did not get frizzy, even after a mild rainstorm!! That convinced me it was worth my investment. For the record, I also used a GHD IV iron.
I can't give this dryer five stars, because I do still feel the need to straighten my hair with an iron, and I don't think it dried my hair as fast as advertised. I can't speak to the longevity of the dryer, since I've only had mine for a week. I also do not feel this dryer is too heavy.
Quiet, fast, and frizz free

I read pages of comments before ordering this hair dryer and decided to give it a try. My hair is fine and naturally wavy/curly and frizzes in the hot Florida air. I was amazed at how healthy my hair looked after using it the first time. The dryer is ergonomically made making it easy to hold and style at the same time. I am not a hair dresser. I plan on keeping this purchase, although more exensive than I would ever expect to pay for a hair dryer, but well worth the money. Excellent quality and results.
Poorly Made

After only one month of use this dryer began to emit a strong burning smell, and shortly after the "low" setting on it completely stopped working. During the month that I DID get to use it I found it to be an adequately good - although far from outstanding - hair dryer.

The first time I used it my hair felt great. The second time, the fan went into high (I can't style on high) and would not go back into low, even though the switch was on the low setting. I have the labels to send it back to exchange, but it took an e-mail (no response) and a phone call, then a few days to e-mail me the shipping label. I'm looking forward to getting it exchanged because my hair really did feel healthier. Folica did respond and they have been very nice about it, it just took a little longer than it should have. I will still do business with them, they have great prices and products.
Excellent, light weight but powerful

I own a Chi Rocket as well as the Sedu and love them both. They both work fast and do wonders to my hair. The Sedu as compared is lightweight does not get as hot so I expect, it would be better for finer hair. Ever since the first time I started using it, my hair looks so much better, healthier and more lusterous, I never again, wish to use a non-professional dryer. I am able to take the Sedu with me when I travel, as it is light enough to carry, and now, I always have great looking hair. I consider it to be a very good investment and regret not getting it much sooner.
Glad I took a Risk!

I really hated to spend this much on a dryer, but my hair is fine and a little naturally curly. This dryer definately makes my hair smoother, much better than the cheap hair dryer I had been using. Now I want to get the Sedu flat iron :) Now my hair looks more like it does when my hair stylist blow dries it. BTW it is not that heavy, don't think that is an issue. I don't think it is at all.

I've used many professional dryers. The sedu by far dries the hair faster and leaves a beautiful shine on the hair. Excellent product!

I was skeptical, especially after making a T3 purchase when it was rated number one on Folica in the past. That dryer was about $250 and made my hair look worse than any cheap dryer I used. It looked fried! I am so happy that I gave an expensive dryer another shot.My hair looks so much healthier now. I think it is healthier than it was using the ionic Revlon dryer that I had. As far as speed, I never did time how long it took with my old dryer. I don't think this dryer necessarily dries my hair that much quicker, but the smoothness is the most important to me! I have long thick, slightly course hair with a slight wave.It often looks dry because it is highlighted. Even when I don't take the time to blow it out with a round brush, it just looks so much better compared to my old dryer. The dryer is a little on the heavier side, but it really isn't a big deal. I would give it 4.5 stars. The subtraction of a half point would be for the weight. Unless you have VERY wimpy arms, I can't imagine it being bothersome. Even then, it is worth the results! Don't let the weight comment scare you off, it is very minor. I just wanted to explain why I didn't give it a perfect score.
Sedu really does give healthier, shinier, straiter hair!

I've had the Sedu hairdryer for about three months now and I can truly say that I really love it. My previous hairdryer was a Tourmaline Ionic that I bought at Sally Beauty Supply for about $60. I had it for about four years until it died and I thought it did an ok job...that is until I used the Sedu Ultrapower hairdryer. My hair is very wavy and I dry it in sections with a round brush to straighten it out. My drying time hasn't been cut dramatically shorter, but I use to have to flat-iron after I blow-dried to straighten all the areas that were still frizzy and now with the Sedu I don't need to! That saves me a ton of time in itself! My hair comes out void of frizz, (and seems to stay that way even on rainy days) very shiny and healthy looking. I use all the best products on my hair and I have tried every product out there to get my hair to look this good. Now I know it is all about the hairdryer! My husband couldn't believe I spent $140 on a hairdryer but when he saw the results, even he said it was worth it.
One thing that can be improved on this hairdryer are the buttons. I do love the flexibility of the 3-heat & 3-fan settings, but the buttons are very easy to change by accident until you get used to them. Also the cool-shot button is not very easy to use if you have longer fingernails. Sedu really needs to improve the buttons in order to make this hairdryer perfect.
If you don't buy this hairdryer I do recommend that you buy a professional hairdryer in the $100 price range, the money you spend is definitely worth it!
Good for shine...

I bought this hair dryer in the hope that it would cut down on my drying time - it didn't. It definitely does improve the shine and it makes my hair much smoother - however it doesn't make it so smooth that I can skip the flat iron - so it really didn't help me out that much. But I do still like it.

I like the Sedu hair dryers so much I bought this one as a gift for my girlfriend who couldn't stop raving about mine. I own the DC motor version which is a little quieter but slightly less powerful. Still more than sufficient in any event. I just thought she might prefer a little more drying power since she has longer hair. Both dryers are excellent and I highly recommend either one!
Sedu vs Solano

The Sedu is great! I have owned probably six Solanos over the years but finally got tired of them only lasting a short time before something went wrong - smoking, low power, etc. So I read the reviews for Sedu & decided to take the chance - great dryer - so much lighter than the Solano but just as powerful. I have long, extremely thick wavy & curly hair & it gets the job done! I would recommend it to all!

It is my first expensive hair dryer. I like it very much. I used cheap hair dryers my entire life and now see how much fun and comfort I missed. Sedu Ultrapower Professional Hair Dryer is not loud and does not burn my hair. Even without hair styling aids my hair appears to be soft and smooth. I also like Sedu because it is light weight and has cool and hot air settings. So now drying my hair is faster and easier than ever. Thanks Folica.
