Hi all. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for ceramic flat irons? Or the sapphire plated irons? (www.folica.com)
I have the Helen of Troy ceramic one, but it sucks. I got my hair cut last week, and she used a Chi and my hair felt amazing! But I think it's because she blew it out first. I don't know how to blow out my hair with a brush though. lol.
I heard that the Chi is good, but it has a history or breaking.
I ordered the Sedu, which is the top-rated one on folica.com. So I'll let everyone know how that works when I use it.
Does anyone have the Bion ones? Or the Solia's?

Well, I bought the Sedu ceramic flat iron that is one folica.com . It came in yesterday and I used it last night. It worked very well. I have thick, slightly wavy, moerately frizzy hair with split ends. I only had to go over the section of hair once and it made it straight. Very easy to use.
The bad thing about it is that it doesn't have a hand grip for your other hand to help clamp the iron down. And the thing gets hot, so you can't put your hand on it. You don't really need to clamp it down though since it does it pretty well. I'm just used to using 2 hands to flat iron my hair. lol.
It did feel a little crispy last night, but I think it's because I used leave in conditioner and then Redken's heat protectant serum. So if I nix the leave in conditioner and just use a heat protectant, it should be fine. My hair always feels better the day after though. I don't know why. lol. But it does feel nice and soft and straight. I just have to figure out where the layers are in my hair so I can curl it under. argh. i do not have any kind of hair styling skills!! lol
