Re: Need a new straightener ...
Hmm i use Tresseme's deep cleansing shampoo, it's really deep cleansing, it feels so squeaky clean afterwards :D
Re: Need a new straightener ...
Lolz....hehehe...maybe ill try to find a similar, since im positive that we dont have it up here in Norway:P
Re: Need a new straightener ...
Hmm i'm not sure what formula you use, but make sure it says "Deep cleansing" on it, any decent name-brand will do, and it's clear in color and has a gel texture..."clear" shampoos are better for oily hair..
Re: Need a new straightener ...
Oooh...ok:) thx for the advice;) i'll try that out soon and then ill write down my experience with this kind of shampoo...just need to find it first:P well its 2 am here and im still not sleepy... whats the time over there Sara?
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.

Thanks babe.

you r very welcome 
Re: Need a new straightener …
Sehar,
Did you get it on their website or at the store? I searched for it all over the website but couldn’t find it so ended up buying at Folica.com…
I used it this past weekend when I went to Miami but I guess it didn’t work so well for me because there was such high humidity there. Now that I am back in the cold weather, it seems to work better
Re: Need a new straightener ...
My dermatologist always told me that I should use a clarifying shampoo atleast ONCE a week. I have used Neutrogena's anti-residue and now I use Frederic Fekkai and both have worked really well. You should try either one. It makes your hair really clean and manageable.

Re: Need a new straightener ...
I was looking for a hair serum with thermal protection at Sephora the other day and this girl who works there came upto me and said, don't buy one here, the best one you can get is online- it's called Chi Silk Infusion. She told me that it is by far the best protective serum as it doesn't let your hair get damaged. I got it online last week and even though it felt a lil greasy (probably because I used more than I should have), my hair didn't dry out or anything. Just thought I would share with those who are looking for a GOOD protective serum/spray.

Re: Need a new straightener ...
oh now this thread is tempting me :(
Re: Need a new straightener …
Now i am wondering, if my wigo can make my hair so divinely straight, what can a sedu or CHI do for it? Hmmmm. 
Re: Need a new straightener …
I have shared my interest in sedu with my hubby. Now he’s asking me if this is going to be my last straightener…err..I have already bought 2 straighteners in last 7 months so I don’t know 
Re: Need a new straightener ...
Once you find the perfect straightner, you end up sticking to it for life.
I've gone through 4 straightners this year and one of them was pretty expensive. It was a wet2dry one and it was Blah!
After finding GHD by accident the minute I saw and felt my hair i knew it was the one.
I love the way it leaves my hair so silky and smooth whereas all my old ones were leaving it dry and brittle :(
Re: Need a new straightener ...
CA, if you dont like the straighteners you have already bought, cant you return them? I love the one i have and have no desire to try another one. I am planning to take it to Pakistan, i hope it can work with the adapters there.
