Guess what guys?
I placed an order for a new straightener!
Sedu Tourmaline/Ionic Ceramic Straightener!
Tourmaline is a moisture attractor which will make your hair shiny without damaging it.
It took me a long time to decide between the new Sedu 2008 Revolution and the Sedu Original 1" Tourmaline/Ionic Ceramic Straightener but I got the 1" original.
Why?
Well I read all the reviews for the Sedu 2008 Revolution and people have said that it pulls and snags their hair but the original doesn't. So that was how I decide.
You can make curls with both irons.. there is really no difference with the exception that the Sedu 2008 Revolution's exterior doesn't get as hot as the original. The heat temperature for the revolution ranges from 180F to 450F while the Sedu original heats up from 210 to 410F. I have asian hair so I use 340F.. temperature was not an issue for me.
I will write a review on the straightener after testing it out for a week.
Folica.com offers a 2 year warranty and comes with a heat stand. awesome!
I bought it for $84 as oppose to the original $108.
The Sedu Revolution would be $115 as oppose to the original price of $140. But the discount has ended..
Now that we're officially in a recession, every penny saved counts :)

Remington Pro Air Optima Professional 1875 Watts Hair Dryer
So this is the Remington Pro Air Optima Professional 1875 Watts hair dryer. I've owned this hair dryer for more than 6 years and it still works great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has long hair or short hair for that matter.
This hair dryer includes a straight diffuser which is great for curly haired people who want to achieve the straight hair look. I, personally, have straight hair but it's slightly wavy so this diffuser works great for me. It features a optima, high, medium, low heat setting. The first button you see on the dryer is cool followed by the on/off switch. One thing that bothers me is that when you want to use the cool setting, you have to hold it in order for the cool air to remain. Sometimes my hand will get tired from doing it.
This dryer does not have s 360 swivel cord but it hasn't tangled up for me.
I bought this dryer at Walmart for around $25 I believe.. I don't remember the exact price because it was so long ago but I'm sure it wasn't that much.

Conair 2" Tourmaline Straightener with Straightening Pins
So.. what is this red thing to the left?
It's a Conair 2" Tourmaline Straightener with Straightening Pins!
I actually bought this 2 years ago.. at Wal-mart because I had a old Conair Styler which is purple and has all the different plates (crimping, waves, star, shiny, and straight). That one wouldn't straighten my hair and the crimping feature didn't work for me.. It just left my hair very dry and brittle! My first curling iron was actually the Mary-Kate and Ashley Straightener (haha) and that was even worse! That won't straighten a strand of hair and pulled my hair too. I can't say the Conair Styler didn't pull my hair but it just wasn't as much.
Ok enough babbling about my history with straighteners.
This 2" Straightening features teeth on the inside which is suppose to help your straighten. I really don't like that feature and wish I got one without the teeths. I found that it actually pulls my hair out as oppose to straighten it. Yes, it hurts which is why I don't recommend it. If you are on a budget and are looking to buy a drugstore brand hair tool, buy one that doesn't have straightening pins. And also.. buy one that is smaller because that can curl your hair too. Best of both worlds there.
I believe they have discontinued this product. (I wish I can write my history paper as fast as I'm writing this. Ok ignore this sentence) I got it for around $35 dollars.. I'm hoping to get a new and better straightener which is better for my hair. Still looking into it!
