I just bought a Sedu straightener online from a great hair website (not sure if I can put the site on here so I'll just leave it at that), anyway, I was either getting a Chi or the Sedu. Well, after reading the reviews and seeing pictures, I went with the Sedu. While it does make my hair silky and soft, it takes a long time to straighten my hair. I have thick hair and even with my other generic straightener it was faster, but not as stick straight. Anyway, it works good, just takes forever. Just wanted to see what others thought of it. Thanks
