I bought the Solia pink edition a year ago. Before that I was using the Wet to Straight Remington Straightner, which was HORRIBLE on my hair . . it made my hair extremely dry & I had many split ends. I begged my mom to get me something more expensive, hoping it wont damage my hair so much. So I got the Solia straightner . This straightner works well, makes your hair soft, straight and shiny! I have very wavy hair and it makes really nice. However i found it has tolerance . . to keep it straight the entire day you`ll have to straighten it more then the week before for example. Over time it started drying my hair out ... After a year of using the Solia, my hair is dry, and has many dead & split ends. Right now i have to work on reconstructing my dead hair. If anyone buys this product i extremely recommend you to use heat protecter , and deep condition your hair as often as possible when you use it. I think if i did all that , my hair wouldnt be as damaged as it is now =( Remember girls (or guys ) theres no such thing as a straightner that DOESNT damage your hair, so use many precautions! I only recomend this to people who will take care & protect their hair while using the straightener.
love it

I LOOOOOVE my new flat iron... I work at a beauty supply, and we have about twenty ceramic flat irons for sale, and i would still pick this one over the rest. Ive owed about 9 or 10 flat irons that either stopped getting hot or just damaged my hair.. but not this one. i love it.. i'd buy it over and over!! It gets my hair super straight and super soft!! LOVE IT!!
This flat iron ROCKS. Don't buy the cheapies...spend the money on this!!!!

I have a cosmetology license and have purchased about 4 different flat irons over the years. The last two I got out of desperation and figured I would try them out to see if there is a difference. THERE IS. When it says ceramic plates, make sure you are truly getting a professional product. The ones purchased at a beauty supply chain that is "open to the public" does not sell the quality that you will find with the solia. Don't waste your $50-75 there.
This was DEFINITELY worth the money. I have wavy / curly hair and the Solia smoothed the cuticle perfectly. I definitely recommend spending the money on it.
Hands down the best flat-iron I have ever used.
The best of the best

I got my Solia pink flat iron the other day and couldn't wait to use it. As you can see my before and after photos. It really works. All you need, after you shampoo, condition and blow dry, is a little serum to protect your hair. Flat iron it and it becomes soft, smooth and silky. I recommend this product 100%.
I haven't had a relaxer since January and it looks as if I've gotten one. That's how great the Solia is! So if you want a good flat iron, this is the one.
Great and Cute

I love this straightener. I tried my friend's CHI and it did the job, but it got waaaaay to hot, and I felt like it damaged my hair. When I finally decided to replace my old cheap one, I read a lot of reviews, and I was about to get the CHI, but the Solia got my attention and I bought it. It's great I love it!!! It gets the job done fast, it doesn't damage my hair, and it's cute! I definitely recommend it!
There's a picture of my natural curly hair and algo one of my straight hair after using the Solia.

I just received it in the mail after ordering the iron and the Sedu Smoothing Heat Protecting Boost on Tuesday. Keep in mind, I chose the free shipping (UPS Ground, 4-6 days.) It arrived in two days! Along with it came a heat-proof pad/bag and a cosmetics bag. The heat-proof pad/bag is very useful as it doesn't leave heated marks on surfaces and it also makes it easy to carry the Solia around.
I loved my friend's Chi and wanted to get one, yet my mother doesn't value beauty very much so she wouldn't allow me too spend over $100 on it. This iron, although it has slight pulling at the ends, glides smoothly, similarly to the way a Chi does. The plates are very smooth and well-built, meaning I can close in on my hair well.
It also leaves my hair feeling silky to the touch, and not fried. It takes away puffiness yet leaves natural volume. I use it on the highest setting (450) because I have relatively straight hair, yet massive amounts of it, in addition the fact that it has a natural wave that just refuses to come out!
My recently cut side-bangs are straightened perfectly by putting it on the lowest heat setting.
For people who have problems straightening their ends, section your hair into two separate parts (on each side of your head), pull the sections into loose ponytails, and simply glide over the ends, maybe, 5 times. Your ends will be straight yet not thin and breaking.
I am VERY happy with this iron, it's reasonable yet it certainly outperforms its price and many of its competitors.
I achieved these results after using John Frieda Straight Shampoo and Conditioner, Sedu Smoothing Heat Protecting Boost, blowdrying each side for 15 minutes, reapplying a little more Boost, and then straightening each side for 5 minutes. The whole process took a little under an hour and was well worth it.
My previous iron, a Babyliss Tourmaline straightener, snagged my hair way too much, as well as having an impractical design. It fell apart on Tuesday morning, and ever since then I have had to deal with a $35 drug-store Ceramic Tools straightener, which in the timespan of two days, single-handledly killed my ends and gave my hair a strange smokey smell. I even saw the proteins from my hair (little white dots) on my hair! It was disgusting! I went from cheapo-deapo to luxury in a matter of two days and $60 more dollars.

I was really skeptical about buying something off the internet like this (I have "mixed" hair, Jewish and Black); however, I was pleasantly surprised once it arrived at my door. It's the best flat iron I've ever used and I'm really glad I purchased it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants straight hair. It's quick and easy!
Awesome!

As you can tell I can’t live without a flat iron. I was using the maxi guide but it just got old and wouldn’t really work that well. So I wanted to buy a chi because at the salon I go to they use those. But I seen all the positive feedback for this product and the price was great! + Its pink! I have really frizzy hair and it’s out of my control. But this flat iron really makes my hair soft not frizzy and shiny! I would recommend this flat iron to anyone with out of control hair Like myself! So don't think because of the low price that it will not work because It works the best!!!!

I received this straightener from my father and it is the best I have ever had. My old Remington Wet 2 Straight was awful. It left my hair thin and dry. The Solia straightens but still keeps my hair looking thick and shiny, not brittle and cracked. It heated up in seconds and worked through my naturally extremely wavy, almost curly hair in no time. My hair was completely straightened in 10 minutes! I recommend that you get this product before this offer ends; the price is right, it's P I N K, and the heat proof case/mat has been very useful. Two thumbs way up for the pink Solia!
Fabulous

I was very sceptical about buying an $85 hair appliance. But it was so worth it! There is such a huge difference. I have a lot of Thick Curly Kinky hair..it is dry from dying it for years. I always needed to put blue magic or some type of grease in my hair. Now i don't need anything. I put in spray conditioner and straightened just like that. The Ceramic plates made my hair beautiful! I would not suggest you spent this much on something if it was trash. Solia made my hair shiny and beautiful. I got compliments all day long!
I adore this product!

I got this adorable pink Solia Straightner for Christmas and it is the best one I have ever owned! It heats up literally in seconds and only takes a few minutes to straighten my entire head. It does not leave it feeling dry like other straightners I've used in the past; and it actually leaves it feeling quite soft.
I reccomend this to anyone, and the fact that it's pink is even better!
The Solia is a life saver!!!

I owned a CHI straightener for almost 4 years, and it finally crapped out on me. It still works, but just isn't as effective as it used to be. So I did my research as to wether or not I should get another CHI or try another brand. I loved my CHI so I was aprehensive to try something new, but I looked up reviews and saw this Solia and decided to give it a try. I'm SO glad I did!!! This is so much better than my CHI ever was! I get my hair done in half the time, and the best part is, this straightener is PINK, and its MUCH lighter than the CHI. My old CHI feels like a brick compared to this baby. I LOVE IT! My hair is softer, shinier, and straighter than it has ever been.
BUY THIS!
Amazing... I recommend it!

As the disappointed owner of 10 different flat-irons, I was very skeptical about the Solia's performance record. After reading these reviews, my husband reluctantly agreed to buy the pink Solia for me (after making me promise that if this didn't work out, we wouldn't waste any more money on another straightener!)... well, the Solia arrived today and I immediately plugged it in and gave it a try.
AMAZING!
My thick, poofy, extremely damaged and over-processed hair turned sleek, shiny, soft and silky within minutes. I can't stop running my hands through my hair, it feels like I received a hair donation/transplant from a Pantene Model! And the best part about this iron is: it's completely hassle free! It heated up in a matter of seconds, and I finished all of my thick, long hair in under 10 minutes. If any of you are debating whether or not to get this flat iron, just do it! Your hair will thank you.
By the way- I have owned a CHI before, and although it works, it pales in comparison to this Solia. The Solia leaves your hair feeling like it just returned from a spa... but I found the CHI to be very drying to my hair.
Amazing.

This straightener can accomodate a variety of hair types. I have somewhat thick hair, not too thick, and it straightens perfectly. As the other reviews say it works on coarse ethnic hair. It's soo versatile and amazing. I can get right to the root of my hair without worrying it getting caught, and the plates are soo smooth. It's IDEAL for layered hair. It's really worth the money. Which, in comparison to the straightener, isn't much at all. This is amazing and I HIGHLY reccomend it. You must use product with it, because remember it IS a high temperature iron, and if you don't want frizz, then get product. Any type of heat protectant works. Anyway, I love it.
Amazing!
