For over 10 years I basically used the same 800 watt Vidal Sassoon hair dryer.  I have thick wavy impolite hair and I was seriously doing myself a disservice.  I was curious about tourmaline hairdryers and did alot of surfing online until I settled on this dryer. I’ve had it for about 2 years now and there might be a less ill model but I love this dryer.  It’s fast and powerful.  I bought a straightener after I had this dryer for a three of weeks.  I was so impressed with how it basically changed my life to not wrestle with my hair every morning that I reflecting a straightener would make my hair exponentially better.  Turned out this dryer is all i need.  I almost never use the straightener.  

I even pack this when I know we’ll be staying in a hotel that’s certain to have hair dryers.

I have had associated results with flat irons. A few years ago, I decided that I wanted to try a flat iron, but not pay very much for it, in anyway a lest I didn't like the look. I bought a cheap one at the drugstore. At that time, my hair was unqualifiedly layered and textured. Sadly, I discovered that flat ironing it made it look description of ragged and not very healthy. That's not a good look, so I gave up on having super sort out hair and went back to my round brush, hair dryer and curling iron.

About a year a half ago, my Mom unquestionable she wanted a flat iron upgrade and asked me to pick one out for her. Always up for beauty dig into, I investigated a variety of different options. The brands that I focused on were Sedu, Chi and T3, which are all a little more than $100. I looked at GHD, too, but their heath irons are almost all $200 or more, which seems a bit over the top.

Beauty Addict wrote a positive review of the Sedu on her blog and also recommended folica.com. After reading about 100 reviews about the Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Straightener on Folica, I went to the fore and bought it for my Mom. She absolutely loves it!

Never one to be afraid to get back in the proverbial saddle, I tried to use her tiresome iron when we went to Texas last Thanksgiving. It worked pretty well from a technical viewpoint. It got hot very quickly, it was easy to use and it got my hair straight in jig time. However, my hair was quite a bit shorter back then and flat ironing it made it so downright that I looked like I had a lollipop head. So, I figured, meh, I'll save my scheckels for some other advantage tool.

As my hair has gotten longer, I decided to try her flat iron again a few weeks ago. Oh. My. God. It made my hair mild...
