I recommend the Karmin G3 salon Pro, it works pretty awesome, leaves the hair soft, very straight and resilient. It has tourmaline ceramic plates which don't damage the hair like others, plus you can also make curls with it. I use it and it's totally worth it.

Jasmine, if you want to fight humitidy, blow dry your hair first, then flat iron it. The Maxiglide is not that great either, and that steam is not good for your hair. It eventually causes your hair cutticle to burst. For a good regimen to keep hair straight and frizz free, read what I posted on "the Fight against humidity". I live in Miami, and I have super straight, frizz free hair every day. Hope it works for you.
What's the difference between the Sedu, Solia, Chi, and Hai? Look at the features and apply the most important ones to your hair...(heat up time, width of plates, lasting effect (which is differnt with hair type), warranty, COST, maximum temp., 100% ceramic vs. metal, more.
I have a Corioliss and it's great. I'll research them b/c I haven't heard much hype until I visited Straight Talk.
OMG my Corioliss isn't as great as I thought. The cord has a shortage in it and there's no way to get a replacement since they're made in Europe and I bought them from a mall kiosk. The people at the mall kiosk keep telling me to come back on different days to exchange them once a manager is in. I've been tryin to return them for the longer--bought them in MAy for $90. I now have the Maxiglide and they work really well on my hair. I get pin straight results b/c of the detangling pins. The only problem I have it humidity since I'm growing out my relaxer. I probably should try Beyond Straight and The End--two products made to use w/ the Maxiglide but they're too expensive.

Well I think that as with all products there is always one that comes out defective. I've had my Sedu for a year, and God knows I put that thing through alot of abuse. I've dropped it, and I always wrap the coil around it, eventhoght I know I am not supposed to. Well it is still going strong. Never given me a problem, as well as the 1000 plus reviewers of this product. Overall this is a great flat iron, great quality, and much better than any other iron I've tried; including the $350 Bioionic (don't buy it, not worth it). For me there is no other like Sedu and wouln't change it for anything else.
You have to be weary of some of the bad reviews. True most of them are good(on www.folica.com), but here's a negative review on the Sedu iron:
Great product but short lived! Wed Jun 08 2005 Reviewer: Crystal
I really enjoyed using this flat iron. It worked wonderfully. However, after eight months it just stopped working. I think the heating element must have gone out. The company was wonderful in taking it back and replacing it fairly quickly because it was still under warrenty(I kept all of my original paperwork). I am now concerned that this one may die in several months. I'm not sure the longevity of these items but for $100.00's I think it should last at least two years. I'm dissapointed because the product worked wonderfully and the company was easy to deal with but I would like the product to last a bit longer for the price.
hi, does anybody know if you can buy the solia irons in the UK ? i'd get them from folica but in the description it states that they are for use in the US and Canada. folica sell a uk version of the sudu irons which i'll probably get if i can't find the solia irons but they're more expensive so i thought i'd ask here before i get them. thanks for any help
I also have the Solia 1 and 1/4 " Awsome for multi racial hair.This is the second professional flat iron I have ever purchased.I can not believe our hair , myself and my two daughters hair turned out fabulous.My hair is very thick with very small waves,I also color it on a regular basis, one daughter has finer hair but not as wavy as mine, the other has very simular hair except hers is softer in the back.All puff in the humidity really bad.As for myself the flat irons we have purchased including the one on the infommercial the one with the teeth.I sent it back can't remember the name.Did nothing I mean nothing like this one.We all look like we have relaxers.The eve my daughter did my hair it had rained both our hair looked the same when we got to our destination.I took a shower no problem .We all used different products on our hair so it is NOT the products.My older daughter is going to get one for herself.I will probably get another one in a month or so.UNREAL!!!!!!!!!
Do you recall what flat iron it was with the teeth? Did it look like this? I'm thinking of purchasing one and if the Solia works better I'd get that.

HMM, Sedu or Solia..? They increased the Sedu 1" by $10, also I only have $91. But probably more expensive the better. Maybe I should get Solia and try it, if it's really good, I'll keep it, if not, I'll return it and get Sedu. =)

Lol, no one could ban you. You add too much to the conversation to be banned.
Anyway, my hair isn't curly, it's pretty wavy and the effects of the straightener last a long time (2-3 days). It would make sense that less curly hair stays straighter longer than really curly hair. Since your hair only seems to curl in random spots you probably wouldn't need to straighten it very often.
Oh yea, I think it's because of my shoulders that's why it curls at the end. So if I have like 2-3 spots of a few hair that curls just a little bit. If I iron it with Sedu, would the affects last longer than if I have really curly hair? Sometimes one of the spot of a small amount of hair that curls doesn't curl. Hmmm
lmao, I thought the admin banned me. He called me a smart ass.

That is probably why you hair curls. When mine was a bit shorter (about shoulder length) it would curl out just from hitting my shoulders even after I straightened it. If you just plan to straighten the bottom part of your hair you may not need to invest in such an expensive straightener. But they do work really well and I definitely recommend it!
I have straight hair, but the hair on the back where the end is, if I wear my jacket and it always pushes against it and makes it curl, is that why my hair curls? It only curls little bit. Even after washing my hair. I'm thinking about buying a sedu and straighten my hair even though it's very straight already.
