A couple weeks ago I shared with you all that I was on the hunt for a new flat iron as my Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron was on the fritz. I’ve been asked what I ended up going with so I wanted to give you a quick follow-up.
So after all of the researching, it occurred to me that I was a wise shopper initially (obvi) and had purchased my Sedu from the amazing website folica.com and that my iron was still under the 2 year warranty! My straightening prayers had been answered! I was a bit skeptical of the easy exchange that was claimed on the site’s warranty page, but nonetheless I filled out the Warranty Replacement Form, said my goodbyes, and shipped the iron back to the Customer Returns Department.
Fear not, I was still able to leave the house as I picked up a back-up, the Remington TStudio Ceramic Pearl Slim 1’’ Flat Iron from Target (also offered on folica.com of course) as my temporary straightener (plus, it never hurts to keep a spare in the house). I’d like to mention that I was pleasantly surprised with the Remington, I’m not going to say it was as good as my Sedu but I really did like it! Inexpensive, digital, AND has an auto-shut off!
Anywho, much to my surprise just days after sending my Sedu back to Folica, I had received an email notifying me that they had received my product and a new one had been shipped. Wait, what?? I didn’t have to wait weeks or even months? I didn’t have to explain further what the issues were? A DNA sample proving I was the owner wasn’t required? Remy and I were just getting to know one another! Clearly there had been some mistake and while the email was great, surely I wasn’t going to receive a new one that easily. And then, just a few days after that, a magical Folica box was waiting for me on my doorstep. Inside was a fresh, brand new Sedu just dying to remove my frizz and make my hair shiny again!
Moral of the story is, whichever straightener (or any other hair product for that matter) tickled your fancy I can not recommend folica.com enough!

How would you compare the Sedu to the Chi? Curious! I’m looking for a good hair product that will help with the frizz once I use the straightner and step outside to the Florida humidity. Coming from Texas to Florida, it’s hard to have a good hair day!

I would definitely recommend the Sedu, I think it’s the best! Folica.com is offering 15% off of it until Wednesday, 10/10!
