i have done it when my hair is damp and it does not damage it in my personal opinion i would much rather straighten it dry because i am uncomfortable with putting something that hot on wet hair i just cant imagine that its at all good for my hair. it makes my hair a little bit frizzier i recommend straightening while its dry. but still this straightener is absolutely amazing i can't live without it.

i straighten my hair when it's damp because i find that if i straighten it when it's completely dry, it makes my hair very dry.

i find that when i try to straighten it damp, it takes me longer because i have to go over the hair 3 or 4 times. when i straighten my hair while it's dry, i only have to go over it once or twice. plus, my hair (curly, frizzy, etc.) is a lot smoother when i flat iron it dry.

i believe this iron is safe for everday use. when you said you had read that u straighten it one day and it stays straight the next... i dont think it depends on your hair type i honestly think it depends on how you sleep.. lol well see heres my thinking..... if you're a wild sleeper and throw your hair all over the place and it gets all twisted up you might have creases and such in your hair thats how mine is. the next day you might just have to spend 2 or 3 minutes on touch ups to tell ya the truth. and about the humidity factor i travel all over the country for competetive softball and humidity has not once made it frizzy or "unstraight" i definitely think u should buy this straightening iron its the best!

the answer to your question is completely and totally 100% the Solia flat iron. it is better quality, doesnt break,is revitalizing on damaged hair, is cheaper, and just plain all around better. look at the before and after pictures if you dont trust me! and also for your damaged hair i highly recommend the use of BioSilk Silk Therapy its seriously a miracle!!!

I also was a bit unconvinced by the moving plates but i am sure that the plates touch each other. it looks just like a blue version of the true ceramic pro. i have used the true ceramic pro. do not purchase it the red coating of the plates will wear and tear within a few days. plus, the solia is the #1 bestseller so don't worry. :)

like i said earlier Solia is much better than Sedu!! the heat makes a big difference to me but i think it depends on the hair type. i have thick, wavy/curly, long hair with the solia my hair is farely thin, stick straight, and even longer! the solia works wonders i cant say that the sedu is horrible cause i've never used it but with results like this with the solia for 30 dollars less i have no desire to try the sedu it cant be any better than this

yea , but only if you hold the iron there for too long. to get the hair at the roots, go over it quikly say 2-3 swipes and it stright. remember don;t just hold it there to get it straight becauseIT HURTS

I have used both and I think Sedu is healthier for the hair. If you are gonna use it everyday, I would suggest Sedu
