Solia vs Sedu

 

 

Thanks,

Sarah

 

I can't say I've tried the Sedu, but from reviews I read, it's not much better than Solia anyhow.

 

The Solia is awesome. I don't even put it on the highest setting, you probably won't either being that it sounds like we have similar hair. Solia never snags or pulls my hair, its always smooth and my hair comes out SHINY as hell and beautifully straight.

 

I've tried the Chi however, and I don't like it at all. That is what my stylist uses. it makes my hair straight, yes, but dull and damaged-looking.

 

 

So basically, yeah.... get the Solia.

 

 

 

And no, i don't work for them. just a satisfied customer.

 

On the flip side it could be that Solia is trying to compete in Sedu's market and thus is offering a better price to "beat the competition" and seduce some potential buyers away from Sedu.

 

Yes of course there are differences but what matters to one user may not matter at all to someone else.  Some people can't live without voice mail and other people don't need it or want it.  The same is true with Sedu vs Solia.

 

There is always trade offs when buying anything from hot irons to shampoo products.  You do get what you pay for but more importantly every consumer has to evaluate what is important to them and whether they are willing to pay for the "extras" or not.

 

Hope that helps.

 

This is the Solia I have, it's friggin awesome.

 

 

 

You may do better with a smaller one like the 3/4" because you have shorter hair.. mine is 1 1/4" but my hair is below my shoulders...

 

They have a lot of reviews from girls with your hair type 4a that you can read for yourself, but trust me.. I did my research before buying this one, and I am completely in love with this iron. It doesn't scorch my hair like the CHI does. I hate the Chi personally.. my stylist uses it and I cringe every time she pulls it through my hair because it snags and I hear that crunchy noise and I'm like "OK STOP! Let me just go home and use my own Solia, its much better!"

 

Highly recommend it.

 

solia has the tourmaline/ions so it's gentler heat, like infra-red that goes deeper into the hair  instead of just frying the outer layer.

 

 

 

Jessica: what happened with folica? Ive had nothing but good experiences with them..  but here is the Solia site, under the category "where to buy".

 

(edit: i guess it would help to actually post the link.. lol)

 

It lists Amazon, but when you go there, it says that its not available.  It also mentions salons, but I've never seen one in a salon, they mostly use CHIs ()

Well, if that was Solia's plan, it worked on me. I remember having this same delima about 3 or 4 years ago and decided on the Solia only because it was a few bucks cheaper.  They both seem to do the same thing, provide the same end results and work really well, but the Sedu was over $100. I think I paid about $80 for the Solia, and from what I've read and heard, there's not much difference between the two, so I think I made the right choice.
