Folica.com ~ Sedu Flat Iron Review and Giveaway (and Style-off Contest Info)

As a busy mom of 2, I am always looking for ways to make getting ready in the morning easier and faster. Even when we're home most of the day, I still like to get fixed up. I often find that my hair is the hardest...especially when I decide to cut it on a whim (like I recently did) and can't get it up into a pony tail. Thankfully, Folica and the great hair styling products they offer have come to my rescue!

Folica was kind enough to send me the Sedu Revolution Professional Tourmaline Ionic Styling Flat Iron for review.

I was super excited to try it out, as I've heard great things about using flat irons to get several different desired hairdos...all in a short amount of time! When I opened the box, I was very impressed, not only with the quality (I could tell it was very well-made) but also the fact that it came with a hair styling DVD and a heat-proof pouch!


I fell in love with this flat iron after using it. Some of its features are:

• anti-slip edges capture all the hairs within the plates
• unique curved edge plates allow for styling freedom and creating any look you want
• highly polished and smooth plates eliminate damage to your hair (snagging, stretching, pulling, etc)
• Fast heat-up time
• Adjustable temperature control-suits all hair type (pictured below)
• lightweight and designed for ease when using
• easy to read light-red when heating up, blue/red blinking when ready to use, blue while cooling down.

Adjustable Temperature Control

I have had the chance to use the Sedu Revolution many times already, and am very pleased with how easy it is to use. I love the way my hair slides smoothly through the plates, as well the shine it gives my finished look. I have not had any hair damage and absolutely love the versatility in style that this flat iron offers!

Folica is definitely your one stop shop for all things beauty. Whether you're looking for products for hair styling, hair care, skin care, etc...they have it all! If you've never taken a look at the selection of products they offer, I would recommend it!

Along with receiving the Sedu Revolution styling iron to review, I was also asked to participate in the Style-Off contest which is a Folica.com hosted/Sedu-sponsored challenge for those interested in the chance to win $1000 cash, Sedu products/tools and a feature on the new Folica website and blog! This contest is still going on...so if interested, here are the steps and information you need to know...

• create a video showing how you use Sedu products/tools to create a hair transformation: curly to straight, straight to curly, down to up...whatever inspires you. (no music, no longer than 7 min., tell what you like about the Sedu tool(s) you're using, etc.)
  
• Email your YouTube video link to Folica
  
• Deadline is 3/15
• Fans will vote on their favorite (the date voting begins is still pending)
  

More information about the Folica/Sedu Style-off contest can be found here. I decided to use my Sedu Revolution styling iron to transform my hair from a flat and straight look to a more fun and flipped out look. You can visit my YouTube video submission here if you'd like to check it out. :)
