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!

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.

First of all this arrived in like 2 days super fast shipping. My friend had the blue one so i had to have it after using hers. than i found it in pink which matches everything else i have so it was a great purchase. My hair has never been this straight. I have naturally slightly wavey hair this thing is amazing i will never use anything else.

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!

YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS!! i recently got my hair cut at vidal sasoon, so its pretty complicated and hard to style. i had an old wet2straight remmington hair straightner wich was HORRIBLE, SERIOUSLY NEVER EVER BUY IT it fried my har and i had to buy a special deep conditioner that cost $40!! you could actually see the protiens from my hair on the straightner, it was gross. and i like the 1 inch best because its perfect for bangs, and its easy to ymake curls and flips, besides.. ITS PINK!!
Excellent product

Heats quickly & evenly. Hair slides smoothly between the plates. No hairs get caught in the area where the plates join the base. Remains at a steady temperature. Straightens my unruly hair perfectly at 370 degrees without drying it out or damaging it. Cute too!
Miracle working flat iron!!!

This is an awesome flat iron. It makes the most resistant hair look relaxed!!! I have ethnic hair which is naturally curly. After using them for the first time I was a believer! Stop damaging your hair with chemicals...try these flats...you will love them!
I really don't like this

I have really thick and curly hair, and it's hard to find a straightener that will really work. I got this straightner over the summer, and honestly i only think it's okay. yes it does straigten it, but it does not make it look shiny at all like other straightners do. It makes my hair feel dry and rough, and look dry. It also starts to wave after i leave the house for no reason at all. I decided to order a CHI and i pray it works better.
I love Solia!!!

I LOOOVE this straightener!!!! I think it better then the Chi. I actually think it's better then the black and blue Solia Straightener. And I love how it's pink. I love how pin straight it gets my hair get, and how smooth it gets. And my hair is like wavy, and frizzy. It gets it straight within one time of going thru my hair. I recommend this Straightener to anyone.
Love it so far!!!

I just got my Solia and I am amazed how straight my hair got,my mother is Indian and my Father is african american so pretty much my hair is very hard to deal with. But the Solia put my hair in its place and for the first time I did not see my hair get pulled out from a flat iron which is a plus. Also my hair looks relaxed and salon straight. It heats up quick and on top of that its super stylish.
