  1. Put your fingers in the plug socket of your AC and switch it on. Nothing better than that to straigten your hair.


  2. Sedu is the best. That's what my hair stylist uses. I've tried many flat irons (CHI, TCP, T3 and GHD).

  3. As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big s**y, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.

    In terms of performance:

    The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd. These are top of the line professional brands

    Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,

    Average: T3, Big s**y, Andis, Babyliss

    Below Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.

    === Flat Iron Hair Straighteners FAQ ======

    Q: What size should I choose?

    A: For most people, 1", 1-1/4" or 1.5" are all good choices. If you have very thick, coarse, long or ethic hair, bigger size (1.5" or 2") will save you some time. If you have thin, fine hair, get a smaller one (1" or 3/4").

    Q: What temperature should I should on my hair?

    A: Based on my expereince, 380F is the average temperature to use. If you hair is thick and coarse, bump it up a bit, if you hair is fine or overprocessed, start it at somewhere 300F, and try it. If the setting does not work well for you, increase a bit until you get a setting that works well for you but does not burn your hair. Trial and error.

    === Tips for buying professional hair appliances ===

    Do NOT buy professional hair appliances from unauthorized places like amazom.com, eBay, Target, Walmart, etc. Because if you do, manufacturers will refuse to honor the warranty. Buy from licensed places like salon, licensed professional beauty stores like Folica.com, Ulta.com, West Coast Beauty Supply Inc. etc

  4. Sedu. I have curly hair and had been using a cheap flat iron. It was giving me hair breakage and drying my hair out. I bought the Sedu hair straightener a few months ago. It is easy to use, leaves my hair shiny and "dead straight" within 5 minutes of use (after blow drying).

  5. I have a CHI and I love it!

    But I have also used a Croc hairstraightener and that worked really well too.
