I bought a Sedu from recommendations on this website. Totally worth the money, i think i spent either $125 or $150 from Folica.com (and free shipping!!!) i LOVE the thing. doesn't pull on my hair or fry it and it glides smoothly down the hair and i straighten a good thick amount at once (and it's about half the size of my old one - which was a cheap revlon from target, worked well but it pulled my hair and fried it completely)
Honestly..I have a cheap-o flat iron from Hot Tools..and it does an amazing job. Not the ceramic one, but then again I don't use it every day. And I just the citri-shine sometimes to get rid of the fuzz. Then again I don't have weak or damaged hair so if you do I wouldn't recommend it.
I had a Bion -Japanese http://www.folica.com/Japanese_Cerami_d1559.html i had 2 of them and both died on me within a few months. i was able to return it and i got myself a Solia http://www.folica.com/Solia_Pink_Limi_d2161.html
which works great. It has never fried my hair and always looks shiny
i love it.
When my Bion died on me twice i still did keep my cheap revlon one that i bought from target. Boy did i notice the difference from the two. The Bion and the Solia flatens my hair smoothly without any hair getting caught inbetween the sections. while the Revlon one did.

I was just wondering...i never used to straighten my hair because my paul mitchell took so long to straighten my hair, but ever since i bought my GHD, it gets SO hot...and i've had it for about 3 weeks or so...and i've never used the Thermal protector....will it really make a differenece that it wont dry out my hair? i mean i noticed also that no matter what any iron that puts that much Heat in your hair will damage it...i guess using the protector will help a little? anyway do any of you have the GHD thermal protector or any other kind of thermal protector? how much do you spray on and if you straighten your hair a lot how is the quality of your hair w/out straightening it? Strawy & crispy or is it still soft? just wondering because i feel like i shouldn't straighten my hair so much since that GHD gets reallllllllllllllly super hot...and it doesn't even have a temperature control so i dont know exactly how hot it gets...my paul mitchell's highest was 400 degrees F.
also any suggestions for thermal protectors that doesnt make your hair sticky/greasy?

Yay!! Another GHD user. Whether you use a heat protector or not, your hair will be silky smooth with the GHD. I have never heard anyone say the GHD made their hair feel like straw. I recommend using a heat protector spray or cream just because it helps a little. In the end, we will all get split ends (*sob*) and damaged hair even if we tried to prevent it with our heat protectors. Styling products WILL damage your hair, you cannot change that, but to lessen the effect of the damage done by the heat, I recommend you use a heat protector.
The GHD thermal protector will work fine, just spray a little, you do not need a lot.

I think that when doing anything with heat--blow drying, straightening, curling, rollers, a heat protector should be used. It's kind of like an insurance policy for your hair--not sure if the money and time involved is worth it, but I'm afraid to be without it.
Depending on how healthy your hair is and what other types of products you're using, you might not need a separate heat protectant. some styling products have a heat protectant built in, and unless your hair is prone to heat damage or already fried, you probably don't need another one on top of that. i use three products, and all have a heat protectant in them, and i use a flat-iron spray occasionally just in case since my hair is fine, color treated, and prone to damage.
I use John Freida serum with a heat protector in it. Not sure if it helps since my hair is always dry anyway.
