Sedu Hair Styles -- Are they for real?
As the editor for Hair Resources, I visit many beauty and hair
related websites. Over the last year I have noticed a growing
popularity of the search term Sedu Hair Styles and even more
popularity of the Sedu Flat Irons.
So, I had to check out this growing trend to see what Sedu Hair
Styles are all about. The original mission statement of the
company Sedu Beauty, established in 1991, is to transform every
Nonhairless female species on the planet into a Seductive
beauty, Sedu for short. It turns out that they also have many
male admirers.
The flat irons by Sedu are rated the best by consumers and are
mentioned as being preferred by top hair stylists around the
world. Okay, this has definitely got my attention now.
I went to the company website, over at http://www.sedubeauty.com
and saw many pictures of before and after using the Sedu Flat
Iron. The after pictures all showed silky smooth and noticeably
shiny straight hair, as opposed to the before pictures that
showed very curly, frizzy or downright unmanageable looking hair.
I do have to admit that I was a little skeptical after seeing
the photos. I kept looking on the website for the little
disclaimer that says 'Results not typical....etc.' that you
always find in weight loss advertisements. But no such
disclaimer can be found.
For review purposes, I ordered a 1-1/2 inch Sedu Ionic Flat Iron
from one of the authorized sellers listed on the company
website. The package arrived late one afternoon, just before I
had to go pick up my daughters from school. I had only about 10
minutes to spare before I had to leave, but I was really anxious
to try out this flat iron.
Here is an account of what happened next. My hair was freshly
washed and dried, so I just put a small amount of Biosilk Silk
Therapy that the company recommends you use before flat ironing.
My hair is very thick and about shoulder length. I actually have
to clip up most of my hair and start flat ironing from the
bottom layer. With my old flat iron, it usually takes a good 15
minutes to iron my hair, with not all that great results.
Time Line: 3:10 p.m. I plug in the Sedu Ionic Flat Iron; put it
on the hottest temperature
3:10 p.m. and 25 seconds later. The green light is blinking
indicating that the iron is ready to use. I start with the
bottom layer, gradually letting more hair down until I have run
the flat iron over all my hair. With this iron you only have to
pass it one time over your hair. With my old iron I had to run
it thru several times to get good results. P.S. You definitely
don't want to touch your hair after running the flat iron over
it. It is VERY HOT.
3:18 p.m. I'm done!!!!
My hair looks absolutely awesome. It is smooth and silky, just
like in the pictures. And, it actually stayed that way for
almost two whole days before I washed it again. Several people
asked me the first day and the next day if I got my hair cut or
just went to the salon.
Important factors to consider when flat ironing your hair on a
regular or daily basis is the wear and tear it will produce on
your hair, perhaps causing split ends or even damaging your
hair. If you visit many hair related forums, damaged hair from
flat ironing is a frequent topic.
Dennis Huang, the brand manager for the Sedu line, says that the
Sedu Flat irons are made from Tourmaline, a precious stone. This
stone was used because it generates up to 6 times more negative
ions upon heating than traditional ceramic irons. The extra
negative ions along with gentle far-infrared heat guarantee
soft, smooth, frizz-free silky straight hair without heat
damage. Also, Sedu's patented ultra-smooth plates guarantee
smooth straightening motion without pulling, snagging or
breaking the hair.
Huang mentions that many flat irons on the market have very
rough surfaces on the plates. He adds, "Most irons cause hair
damage because essentially you are straightening your hair with
a heated sand paper."
Many hair stylists recommend using some sort of silicone based
product on the hair before flat ironing in order to protect the
hair. Sedu Beauty recommends Biosilk Silk Therapy and Sedu Heat
Protectant. They also recommend using lower heat settings for
different types of hair. If you have bleached, fragile, damaged
or fine hair--use the lower temperature setting. If you have
normal hair and use the iron regularly, use the middle range of
temperatures and if you have coarse, thick, ethnic or resistant
hair that is in a healthy condition you can use the maximum heat
for best results.
In short, my conclusion, 8 minutes and a Sedu Ionic Flat Iron
has made a huge difference in the way my hair looks and feels.
It is THUMBS UP for Sedu Flat Irons from Hair Resources.
Now all I need is a weight loss product that works in 8 minutes
