Sedu vs. CHI - Which Is The Best Wet To Dry Flat Iron?

The best method of trying to determine whether Sedu or chi flat iron make the best flat iron is to collate and

analyze the complaints made by real consumers. Sometimes, it's better to compare complaints rather than comparing glowing recommendations, partly because one

isn't always sure if the recommendation is by a genuine person, and also, because 'glowing recommendations' tend to be non-specific whereas complaints

usually are.
The complaints and comments were garnered all the comments for both flat irons made to folica.com between Jan 2006 and July 2006. I used this as my source as

this was the largest collection of flat iron reviews I could find.
The top complaints made by those who bought a cheap chi flat irons flat iron:
- poor quality control (brand new ones don't work, they stop heating after a few months, stop working after a few minutes of use, got too hot and melted the

plastic housing)
- tends to snag your hair. The edges of the CHI flat iron are not rounded and this led to hair being snagged.
- older models had no heat control whereas Sedu flat irons have an adjustable temperature settings. This perhaps could be ignored as new versions of CHI flat

irons now have fully controllable temperature setting.
- hair straightening took too long. Other brands like Corioliss and GHD were reported as being much quicker at straightening hair.
- some users complained that it could not straighten their hair and so they gave up
- the cost of warranty repairs was expensive

In conclusion, although there were many satisfied Chi customers, the quality of the CHI flat iron was called into question. Base on this survey - remember,

these were randomly picked from just one website - the Sedu flat iron came out as best.
