Sedu Flat Iron - The Best Tourmaline Flat Iron You Can Buy?

Sedu irons are extremely popular and have been featured in many fashion magazines and have been endorsed by many Hollywood actresses. But, are they the best tourmaline flat iron you can buy or are other brands better?

There are two Sedu straighteners available; the Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron 1" and 1 1/2". Apart from the width of the plates they are identical. Both feature true ceramic/tourmaline plates which is what sets Sedu apart from most other brands. For one thing most other brands don't offer tourmaline but just ceramic plates and those that do, only offer a thin coating of tourmaline on top of the ceramic.

If you haven't heard of tourmaline before then let's just say that this crystal naturally emits something called negative ions when heated. Ceramic also does this but tourmaline emits up to 6 times the amount. Negative ions are beneficial for hair as they help to break down water droplets into much finer, microscopic droplets than speed up evaporation and, therefore drying time, but also the droplets can actually be absorbed into the strand of each hair. This helps to hydrate and lock in moisture leaving hair more shiny and healthy.

Apart from tourmaline, Sedu flat irons are light in weight. This is because the body is made of high-strength composite materials that are commonly used in aerospace industry. This combined with the ergonomic design of the handle means that using one is less tiring than some other brands.

There are 5 temperature settings, from 240F to 410F (120oC - 200oC) making them suitable for all hair types.

But are Sedu the best flat iron? They are an exceptional hair tool however it's definitely worth comparing them to other brands like T3, GHD, Corioliss and CHI. I'm a big fan of the Linea-Pro Corioliss C2 flat iron. This tool uses something called Nano Silver technology. Simply put, this technology kills 99.99% of bacteria, so not only is the Corioliss C2 self-cleaning it also makes your hair cleaner, which means it stays in shape and look shinier for longer.

Sedu doesn't yet make a model with Nano Silver technology. Of course, it could be argued that tourmaline is better to have. However, the point is, other brands offer some features not available in Sedu models - wet-to-dry being another example.

In summary, the hype surrounding Sedu flat iron is largely warranted. However, it really is worth looking at other tourmaline straighteners from other manufacturers like Remington and T3.

Follow the links for the Sedu flat iron. You can also compare it to other brands like GHD, Corioliss and the T3 flat iron and decide for yourself if it's the best flat iron for you.
