How to Create Hairstyles with Your Sedu Flat Iron:
Before you start, be sure you are using the Sedu with the correct plate size. For long hair, the 1.5" iron is best. For shorter hair, use the 1" iron.

When it comes to straightening, be semi-conservative with the heat level of your flat iron, which ranges from 270 degrees to 450 degrees. These irons are plenty effective on medium heat levels (300 - 370 degrees). There is no need to use it on the highest heat setting unless your hair is especially stubborn or coarse. If your hair is fine or brittle, be sure use a very low heat setting.

Once you begin straightening, work with small, two-inch sections of hair. By using two-inch sections, you will be able to straighten each section quickly with just one or two straightening applications. Using thicker sections will only result in needing many more heat transactions over each section. This will over treat the hair strands in direct contact with the plate, and will leave the strands in the middle of the section unstraightened. Straightening small sections will give you the most even result.

You will want to start by straightening the sections near the bottom of your scalp. Work your way across the bottom layers of your hair and then move on to the next layer up. As you work your way from the bottom layers up, you may want to use clips to keep the upper layers of your hair out of the way in the beginning.

Finish:

Once hair is straightened, you can finish off your look and add even more gloss and shine by applying a finishing product. Use a shine enhancing finishing spray or apply a small amount of a glossing product. Be conservative in your application of these products. Using too much can weigh your hair down. Using the right amount will ensure your hair looks healthy and natural.

Styling:

Your flat iron can be used to create a wide variety of hairstyles including stick straight, soft waves, as well as flipped out and flipped in styles. Select the style you desire:

Straight
One of the most popular looks that users want to achieve is the sleek, stick-straight look. To get this look, insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, then squeeze the handle together and glide slowly through hair from the roots to the ends. Maintain a smooth, steady straightening motion and keep your flat iron straight throughout the length of your hair. Most importantly, keep it straight through the tips of your hair. Do not angle the iron unless you want a flipped in or out look (See below).

Soft Body
Your flat iron can also be used to add soft, smooth body to your hair. To create this look, insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates of your flat iron and gently squeeze the handle together. Glide iron to the ends, then wind hair back around the iron. Release plates.

Flipped Out
Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, then squeeze the handle together and glide slowly through hair from the roots, slightly flip out the ends.

Flipped In
Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, then squeeze the handle together and glide slowly through hair from the roots, slightly flip in the ends.

By following this styling guide, you will be able to achieve that coveted, sleek lustre and sheen with your Sedu flat iron. By practicing, you will be able to improve your skills and be able to style your hair in less time and with even better results. Enjoy your new hairstyle!
