I'm back with my review
.
This iron is wonderful! It's extremely lightweight which sort of bothered me a bit but allowed me to straighten the finest hairs on my head without ripping. I realized that the reason most irons do not work is that they are too heavy and get stuck on my fine hair. This iron is light compared to the Sedu even and that's saying something since the Sedu is lightweight compared to most irons. It seems to get very hot even at 370 compared to my other irons. Sedu at 410 did not feel as hot as this one or other irons I've tried strangely. My roots strayed straight and did not frizz up as usual the next day so I think this one is a keeper. It's a gentle, stress free iron. My hair felt a bit drier right after strangely than when I used other irons but the next day it's like silk....
Here are my reviews of other irons I've tried over the years.
Hot Tools -before I knew anything about flat irons- straightened pretty well but metal or copper plates are no good for hair...
Conair- also before I knew about irons. Just no.
Babyliss- this is Conair under another name lol as is Jilere De Paris and Wigo... not awful and not great...
Wigo- if I recall it was a snagger so I had to quit it...
Solano- I bought a scissor style Solano Sapphire iron... definitely a decent iron. Idk about scissor style irons though.
Solia- snagger, sent it back right away.. I will NOT tolerate snagging.
CHI- I got the CHI turbo. It's a bit snaggy and just not great but I'd say it's good as irons go.
Pro Select- I got duped into buying this at at the mall from Israelis. They told me it was made in Europe lol and I fell for it and had to go back and get it because it seemed to straighten well but when I got it home SNAG CITY!!
Sedu- YES, PERFECTION AT LAST. The wonderfulness seemed to deteriorate over time, I suspect because it wouldn't heat so well. Overall it the THEE best I have ever tried. No snagging at all! The plates are like glass and it's made so that it does not snag my hair at all.
Sedu Revolution- FAIL. If I remember it was a snagger. Shame on Sedu! Sent it back.
Just tried these this week since my Sedu's are broken and I don't like my CHI.
Rusk Str8 CTC iron: Just not smooth enough for me . I don't like Titanium...
Cortex- claims to have 100% ceramic plates. Was a bit snaggy but overall a decent iron. I think coarse hair would love this one. It also came in a set with a tiny baby iron and a clip, the baby was so cute lol. I returned it all though.
