Re: Need a new straightener …
Just my two cents on the Sedu (1.5 inch).
I got it this past weekend and used it today. I’m very impressed with the results. I have wavy long hair that hasn’t ever been colored, and I felt that Chi was leaving it brittle and dry, albeit striaght, and it took me a good 25 minutes to straighten with Chi. With the Sedu, I love the soft silky finish and hair doesn’t feel dry to the touch, also Sedu cut the time to 12 minutes. Sedu also has temp control, which my basic Chi didn’t have (more expensive models do). So all in all, with the same price, Sedu does a much better job than Chi. I got it from ULTA and used the 20% coupon 
and it cost me around $100 USD.
