LOL, Everyone Wants Straight Hair -- whites, Asians, blacks

[MJ]

Check out the pictures accompanying the Sedu ceramic flat iron reviews. Dude, I was bugging when I say that Asians were flat ironing their hair (shows you how much I know)

Sedu reviews with pics... 1500+

 

[MJ]

Yeah, I'm also bugging at reading some of the Asian women's comments that they had their hair chemically straighten. Man!

 

[MJ]

Suffice to say I know what I'm gonna get myself for christmas..

 

[Browndilocks]

Yeah...Sedu is the BEST! I felt a revelation the first time I used it, and I'm not even big on flat irons. Before the first time I tried the Sedu, I hadn't flat ironed my own hair in about 7 years. I was expecting Gold N Hot level work and results but was truly amazed.

My co-worker gets her hair straightened (she is Korean). The straightener she uses is called the "magic perm". She said she got it because her hair was puffy. It took 8 hours.

 

[RainbowCurls]

You'd think they were getting PAID to write the reviews!

ETA: Seeing all these pics is NOT good for my transitioning...

Oh wow eight hours.

My ex-boyfriend is Thai, and his hair like like that too. He always put some type of product in it to get it too lay down.

It's also called thermal reconditioning. It can cost about $500 in New York salons to get this done professionally.

 

[Huggette]

thermal reconditioning was developed by the japanese right!? i think type 1 hair is more of the minority rather than the majority. yep "everyone" does want straight hair!!

My best friend is Hispanic, and although his hair is mostly straight with just the tiniest bit of a wave in it, he flat irons it every day to get rid of the wave and a little poofiness (that I can't even see). I'm trying to get him to switch to burning his hair with ceramic instead of stainless steel, lol.

Damn the way some of those chicks are talking bout their curly hair is nuts

 

[cocowhite]

Ok, I know I was supposed to be looking at the results of the flat iron, but girl on page 2 makeup was flawless and I don't wear makeup, but her picture made me want too.

I noticed it too. It's like they're cursed or something.

Yeah, a little too flawless; perhaps retouched?

 

[Tene]

I might order one of those so I can have something to use when I go natural to straighten every blue moon instead of pressing.

 

[RainbowCurls]

I noticed it too. It's like they're cursed or something.

Yeah...it's like: "oh it was awful having curly hair and Sedu has saved me from my life of hell!"

And, the girl on the second page with the 'perfect makeup' is the most amatuer airbrushing (blur tool maybe?) job I've ever seen. Look at the line where her hair meets her 'face'!!

so true, I forgot all about retouching up photos. thanks.

I don't wear makeup so as you can see I can't tell, I thought it was good job...

 

[Allandra]

Some of the folks on page 2 have some S U P E R thick hair. Wow.

 

[TropicalRose]

a lot of people dont know that a lot of asian women get their hair chemically straightened just like blacks and some hispanics. i know for a fact that people from japan and taiwan get theirs done (the chinese dont probably at all)

it sucks for them though because if they get it done in america, it costs $200+. black people can buy a kit for $5. its cheaper for them to get it done in their home country :/ my friend gets hers straigthened chemically only when she goes to china. other than that, she blow drys it straight with a chemical

yea it was developed by them. they also have chemical straighteners. but im pretty sure the thermal one doesnt take 8 hours... maybe thats something else?

One of my gf I go to school with just got that thermal reconditioning done to her hair. She has 3c/4a type hair and it came out really nice...she can wash her hair and let it air dry and it turns out straight, no lie. Her hair was natural and a couple inches longer than mine and it turned out really pretty.

OT: I really like your twa. It looks really good on you.

 

[MizaniMami]

I find it surprising that a lot of people ALL think whites and asians have naturally straight hair.

I got to a mixed hair forum and that is NO surprise to me at all.

 

[Gryphyn]

I'm really liking these before and after pics. I'm thinking of investing in a good flat iron now, but one that's much cheaper than this one and the Maxiglide...

 

[sareca]

I thought a white woman I work with had straight hair until she came to work sick. I guess she didn't have the strength, time, or inclination to straighten it, it was very curly. I told her I liked her curls. She said she hated them.

 

[NeeSee]

My mom was just talking about this the other day. She said she remeber growing up, there was a white girl who stayed not to far from them and she would come over to have my grandma press her hair. Go figure.

 

[devin]

she was definitely photoshopped! i was confused about which flatiron to buy, but after looking at all these reviews I think I am definitely going to purchase the Sedu!

I don't wear much make up either. I've just seen a lot of airbrushing. That job is horribly unnatural and fake looking. I could do a similarily poor job in under 10 mins. (If anyone wants to test me, feel free to!)
