Sedu Beauty Tips
From LoveToKnow Hair
If you’re searching for hair styling tips for a straight and sexy mane, these sedu beauty tips are guaranteed to help you achieve perfect results each and every time.
Straight Hair Revolution
Sedu hair is a straight style. Coined “sedu” from one of the most popular hair straightening manufacturers, pin straight styles are all the rage today. While straight hair may seem to go in and out of fashion, sedu styles have staying power since they’re not only sexy, they’re also easy to create on all hair types without the need of expensive chemical straightening services or time consuming professional blow-outs.
The addition of a straightening iron in your hair styling routine will help you create the long slick locks that grace the runways and fashion magazines. If you‘ve got the straightening iron and are ready to create a sedu hairstyle, knowing how to use the appliance to perfect your look is absolutely essential.
Sedu Hair Types
The best thing about sedu hair styling is that it works on almost all hair types. Wavy, curly and straight hair can work a sedu look effortlessly when using the right products and a quality straightening iron. Bonus: it’s not hard to create a sedu style, and it doesn’t require much styling time.
The largest expense in a sedu style will be a straightening iron. It’s best not to skimp on this purchase, as most quality irons worth buying will be moderately expensive. Don’t waste your money buying two or three budget level straighteners. Chances are you’ll be unhappy with the results and end up replacing each one for a more effective model. Instead, save some money and splurge on an authentic Sedu or Chi iron for professional results.
Sedu Beauty Tips: Get it Straight
The following tips are essential when styling sedu hair:
- Start with wet hair. Work an emollient and a heat protectant spray through hair from scalp to ends.
- Blow dry or air dry hair thoroughly. For added volume, blow dry hair with a nozzle, use your fingers to lift hair and direct heated air flow to the scalp. Switch sides, repeating till dry.
- Plug in straightening appliance and allow to reach heat setting most appropriate for your needs. Many find a medium or low setting is perfect, some opt for high heat. If low heat does the job, keep it there to avoid excessive damage and stress to the hair.
- Divide hair into three sections: top, bottom, and mid. Clip to separate.
- Start at the bottom (back and sides) of hair. Slowly work iron from scalp to ends, making sure you use firm pressure to guarantee an even grip. The firmer the pressure, the straighter the strands…grip it!
- Release iron and let hair cool for a few seconds. Be careful not to touch, hair may be hot and steaming!
- Repeat, working through all sections.
- Finish with a light hold hairspray or glossing serum.
Sedu hair normally retains its shape and shine for several days. Plan on touching up your style in between washings with your iron.
Tip: Avoid prolonged use on the ends of hair. If you notice fuzzy strands or split ends, head to your stylist and request a good trim. Heat appliances can damage hair extensively if used incorrectly. Make sure you take the time to apply a heat protectant, and give your hair a break every now and then!
Short and Straight Styles
Short haired gals can experiment with a sedu style as long as hair is at least one inch long. You’ll find that super straight locks can provide endless styling options, bridging the gap during the growing out stage. Purchase hair accessories such as unique bobby pins and hair clips to pin back your short mane and discover how effortlessly chic a straight and sassy style can be. Longer hair, naturally, has even more styling options.
Styling Products for Straight Hair
If you’ve just begun your journey into the world of straight hair, it may be time to go through the medicine cabinet and ditch some of your old styling products. No hair gels, mousses, pastes, molding creams or heavy styling aids are needed when you wear a sedu straight style. Instead, ask your stylist for sedu beauty tips and to recommend a heat protecting spray such as Aveda’s Brilliant Damage Control and a shine emollient. For super shine and slip, check out Paul Mitchell‘s Super Skinny Serum.
Tip: Fine and thick hair types can wear a sedu style. Fine haired gals should avoid emollients and shine serums. Instead, just use the recommended heat protectant spray recommended from your stylist and finish with a light hold hair spray.
