Jennifer Aniston Sedu Flat Iron
From LoveToKnow Hair
Jennifer Aniston is famous for her thick impeccable mane, and the Jennifer Aniston Sedu flat iron look that she sported around the 2003 red carpet events is easily attainable for just about anyone!
Assessing Your Hair Quality
Unless you are blessed with the naturally thick, sleek, and straight hair that has been so in for the last decade, you'll probably have to invest in a number of hair tools to recreate the Jennifer Aniston Sedu flat iron do. Unfortunately, many of the tools necessary to achieve Jennifer's long locks will involve heat styling, but the right tools can avoid too much hair damage. The Sedu straightening iron uses ceramic tourmaline plates combined with infrared radiation in order to achieve a frizz free effect without breaking the hair. This is the same styling tool reportedly used by Aniston herself. However, do bear in mind that even safer heat styling products such as the Sedu flat iron can still cause some damage to the hair cuticle over time. Some faithful tourmaline heat styling product users have indeed remarked that the overall health of their hair has been affected by frequent use of even the ceramic plate flat irons.
So, before you attempt to adopt the Jennifer Aniston Sedu flat iron style, examine the condition of your hair carefully. If your strands are excessively damaged, hit the Ojon treatments and schedule a trim with your stylist, because there is nothing sexy about broken and dead-looking hair.
In order to improve the condition of her own hair, Jennifer Aniston has also been known to consume Phyto's Phytophanere, a dietary supplement for both hair and nails.
Achieving the Jennifer Aniston Sedu Flat Iron Effect
Now that you are hopefully working with a healthy, shiny mane, start this styling routine with a good quality shampoo, preferably a formula designed for normal hair. You do not want to be shampooing your hair with any substance that will make your strands flat or overly moisturized. Jennifer Aniston's straight hairdo is characterized by bouncy straight locks, not limp lifeless hair. If your hair is naturally on the limp side, use a quality volumizing shampoo such as the formula from Frederic Fekkai's volumizing line.
It is recommended that you let your hair air dry in order to promote shine. If you must blow-dry your hair, use a tourmaline hair dryer on a low setting to avoid excessively drying out your hair. Sedu flat irons can also be used on moderately damp hair, although it is always safer to heat style your strands when the cuticle of the hair is dry and closed. If you have very curly hair, then you must blow-dry in order to make the straightening process more manageable. Remember to use a good natural bristle or boar bristle round brush to build volume while you dry. Also, to prevent heat damage and achieve a smoother look, try using a product similar to Frederic Fekkai's Smooth Hair cream.
Now use the Sedu Flat iron at a moderate heat setting. Run it from as close to the hair root to the tips of the hair in order to achieve a truly straight look. When the flat iron reaches the bottom of your hair, you may turn the iron under just a bit such that the ends curl down rather than upward.
The secret to Aniston's super shiny locks is not just the investment of a quality hair straightener. Her stylist applies a special sealing product to her hair after each color job. You can mimic this effect with a few drops of a silicone styling product. Try the Frederic Fekkai Technician Glaze to complete your look.
