Sedu Revolution Pro Shortie Mini Styler Iron Flat Iron Review

peachy — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:43:41 +0000

The fact that this Sedu Revolution Pro Shortie Mini Styler Iron is manufactured and produced by one of the big names in the hair straightening and styling industry plus its slim design and small layout, make this a popular tool.

Sedu Revolution Pro Shortie Mini Styler Iron Flat Iron Specifications:

very small width of half an inch
works with 110 to 240 voltage capacity of power supply
weighs just 0.35 pounds
measures half less than a foot(6 inches)
standard price of $50.00 with 2 warranty years

Ceramic abilities
Despite being small, this mini styler is set to benefit users with all the goodness of flat irons made with ceramic plates. Short lengths of hair, for which this hair styling tool is especially designed for, are sure to become silky straight, manageable and healthy.

Ceramic accounts for the even distribution of the heat.

Added Tourmaline
When added to ceramic, tourmaline boosts the efficiency of this small hair appliance that is quite a wonder.

Ionic powers
Ceramic and tourmaline present in the small-sized plates effectively generate ions of negative charge. This provides benefits to the hair and scalp.

First the negative ions break down and disperse the water content of the hair strands. When every water content is turned into small and tiny droplets, they can successfully penetrate into the minute openings of the hair cuticle.

When the droplets are deep inside, the negative ions close the cuticle openings and thus lock and seal the moisture there. The result is shinier and moisturized hair filled with its rich natural color.

Another good benefit supplied by the negative ions is their anti-germicidal property. Every present fungus and bacterium in the scalp and hair is gotten rid off by the negative ions. With that, hair shines not with faux polish but with health.

Pros:

a small sized hair straightening tool that can be carried around during long international trips and even short trips to the office or even in school for urgent touch ups

best for short hair

Use this device appropriately and you’ll get satisfactory results. This pocket-sized styler also comes with a pouch that makes it all the more fun to carry around for all-time styling.

Not just your usual ceramic hair straightener
Compared to the smoothness achieved when using other brands of hair straighteners with ceramic plates, your hair will be three times smoother and straighter with this. Ceramic plates are generally effective in creating a smooth and straight mane due to the negative ions and Far Infrared Heat that automatically comes with the ceramic application.

Tourmaline addition
Ceramic is already a commendable material for hair straighteners, but there is also the addition of another material used exclusively in electronic devices – Tourmaline. This one boosts and enhances the effectiveness of ceramic.

This is also made possible by the additional amount of generated negative ions by the ceramic and tourmaline.

Boost in negative ions
Because the generated amount of negative ions is increased for up to six times, it is more effective when straightening your hair. Plus, it also helps you decrease the duration of the styling process.

These negatively charged ions eliminate the frizz and unmanageability of the hair. They also lock and seal moisture inside the hair strands so that you get hair that has a vibrant natural color.
