The best flat iron is not the Chi

I didn't think it would happen; finding something affordable that compared to the Chi. I'm mixed and have tons of thick curly hair. I also take care of my cousins who are black and tame their unruly thick hair. This flat iron, compared to the cheapies from the drug store have completely changed what I think about flat irons! Its not that it straightens hair; it adds volume and shine, and even straightens my cousins hair who is thick with coarse curls. I ws even able to get the little hairs on the edges due to the flat irons small size. The folks who want to wean off of perms, this is the way to go. It can handle the new growth! I would totally recommend this product to anyone who wants to tame the fro.
didn't even last a year...

I got this flat iron last March and it worked decent until this morning, when it got really really hot and burned my hair, then stopped working. Of course this is not just the Solia, flat irons in general don't seem to last very long if used everyday (I had a Chi last only a little over a year)
Doesn't work magic, but damn near does

I ordered my solia yesterday and went with the free shipping (4-6 days), but I got it today. I washed my hair and let it airdry until it was slightly damp and began straightening it. I started off with my bangs and at first, I thought the straightener wasn't working because it slid through my hair so smoothly. This is probably my sixth straightener and none of the others even compared to the smoothness of this one.
The solia took a few passes to straighten each section of my hair, but somehow, I still managed to finish straightening quickly. I also tried curling a few sections and I think that with practice, the curls will come out better.
Five stars for Folica.com for shipping it to me in one day, and five stars for the Solia :)

The Solia is great! No problems with it. Heats up hot and fast. Also flips and curls hair well! They also sent my package very fast; Came within 2 days of purchase. The only minor improvement that could be made is the numbers on the heat gage could be made darker so to see them more easy.
Great gift

I gave this to my wonderful daughter in law for her birthday. She used it while staying with us & could see a difference in her hair right away. I think she liked the pink color almost as much as the great job this flatiron does!

Incredible Flat Iron

I would usually never write a review on anything but I just got my pink solia and it is incredible, so I had to share. I do not even need to blow out my hair anymore before flat ironing. I just let it air dry and start ironing pieces. The result is silky smooth and pin straight! I have curly hair and usually with blowing it out and using my old flat iron it would still look a little puffy and never fully straight. it doesnt even matter if it rains or you sweat. Your hair WILL stay. Buy this immediately.

I have only had the Solia 1" pink flat iron for a short time and I have short hair. That having been said, the iron works at least as well as an iron I bought for $50 or so more. It can heat more than is required to straighten my hair (somewhat coarse, previously curly hair); it heats up quickly, and so far, it has fallen off the vanity onto the floor without suffering apparent damage. I am a sucker for pink things so I like it.
good.......good.............good

It is good for flat iron purposes but NOT for curling definitely. It's harder to use than it looks. But heat up fast so it'll save you time. I only use it twice so far so can't say anything about durability...yet :)
I love the way my hair feels after using my Solia

I absolutely love my Solia Pink Limited Edition 1" Flat Iron. I have wavy/curly/frizzy hair and it completely straightens it and makes it shinny with no frizz. I also absolutely love the fact that after I learned how to use it correctly i can not only use it to straighten my hair but also curl it out and under and do beautiful spiral curls with it. the only thing I am not happy about is the fact that it collects dirt really fast and it is hard to keep the outside of it clean. the only other thing is that after using it for about a month or so the handle has been getting hot so I have to be careful of how I hold it so that i don't burn my hand.
LOVE ITT!

I found a straightner at the mall for $120 it was the same at this one here it is only $85! it works wondres on my hair, i can make my hair straight, wavy OR curly! it is amazing.
My mom tried using it once and she loved it too. she took it into her room and she has kept it ever since.
since then i bought another straightner, and i HATE IT compared to this. it made my hair crusty. so now i am planing on buying another one of theese pink solias!
love it love it love it!
Solia 1 inch is great!

I don't know if it's the haircut, shampoo and conditioner for straight hair, the dryer or this flat iron, but my hair has never looked better! I am very happy with this iron - it heats up fast and works well. Let's just hope it lasts!
Love it!

I was quite distraught when my Babyliss Pro Flat Iron {RIP} died on me and was quite skeptical to by another brand. I must say, that it definitely better than my last. It heats up very quickly to 410 Degrees. My long hair does not get tangled up along the edges (that happens sometimes). And it leaves my hair very smooth (even without product). I am very satisfied with my purchase.

After viewing an episode of Dr. Phil where his wife Robin had mentioned the pink flat iron, I decided that if she recommended it, the product had to be good, and it was!!!!
I had a cheap Walmart flat iron that was breaking my hair and didn't do that great of a job. I love that this heats up in less than 10 seconds! Robin definately was right. I also recommended it to my girldfriend and she purchased one (the pink edition) and she also loves it.
