Ive heard rave reviews about the Sedu Straighting iorn, and i think it would be a nice investment to share between my Mom and I, it says it does good things for your hair (soft, silky, whatever) - But is this way too aweful a thing to do to your hair? I dont want to damage my hair, but man, all those comparison photos of before and afters (not to mention the thousands of 5 star reviews) are really tempting...
has anyone used this, or can anyone tell me just how bad this would be to use on your hair? http://www.folica.com/Sedu_Ionic_Cera_d1560.html |

I used a similar straightener and without a product that protects the hair. My hair is fried, extremely frizz and has split ends all over the place. If you aren't willing to take the time and money to go to your hairdressers and get a product that will protect your hair I suggest in the long run to not get it. It takes a lot more time and effort to try to repair damaged hair than to take precautions against damaging it.
I hope something here helped. :) |

Well i wasnt implying that i wouldnt use ANYTHING on my hair but the iorn- today, products are easily avalible to help protect your hair from heat damaged, or specificly made to work with hot hair tools.

I threw away my straightening iron a week ago. Straightening irons are the most damaging appliances for hair. I don't know if it would be a good idea to routinely use one. Maybe once in a long time? ???

I've heard that ceramic irons can be a lot less damaging, but I cannot imagine it actually being good for ones hair. After all, it still uses high heat and puts tension on your strands...So in the end causing more frizz and probably split ends. I don't think it would be too bad for your hair, if like Pan said is used rarely and you deep condition afterward. Personally though, I feel the better I take care of my hair, the harder it is for me to blowdry or use any other types of heated appliances.

I think the key here is that you may have to do more than a little to offset damage. There is simply no getting around that some things are damaging, it's just a question of "damage control". All that being said - I think you can do most things if you do them carefully and in moderation. For sure, if you are using heat it's probably best to do it when you aren't using silicones, although I realize that some of the products for damage control do have silicones. Just keep in mind that most products are sold for "styling" not for health. folica, on the other hand is a pretty good company to do business with - they have good service. Certainly not all the products they carry are something I would recommend though ...g |

Alot will depend on how long you want your hair, and what your hair genetics already are. I have a friend that used straightening irons for years and her hair always looked beautiful. But she keeps it just below the shoulders and never dyes it.
