I straightened my cousin's super curly hair and it took about 45 mins.

i also have curly hair and it takes less than 10 minutes. My hair is not too thick though, it may take you a bit longer if your is curlier than mine. but it still works really good, and heats up in less than 20 seconds.

It will, but for my hair it will flip at the ends a little bit. Spraying a light misty hairspray over the straightened hair will keep it straight for the most part.

this straightener is better for men because its thinner and meant for shorter hair: http://www.folica.com/Solia_Tourmalin_d1690.html

it keeps it straight until you wash your hair and get it wet again.

The 1-1/4 it's perfect for about any length, since your hair is still shoulder length and growing it out, this size is a bit bigger rather that a 1 inch, so any hair type. I don't like any bigger ones because anything bigger tends to damage faster.

yes, but use a heat protectant sedu moisturizing heat protecting boost is best.

I would say go with the 1 1/4 inch. It will work, even on way curly hair, and the bigger the iron, the faster it damages.

NO! Garnier Fructis sleek & shine DOES NOT protect your hair from heat damage, many people beleive it does, but I'm sorry to say it DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR HAIR, IN FACT IT WEIGHS DOWN YOUR HAIR, which is bad! If you're looking for a good heat protectant, pick one of the following: Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum - This costs $15.95 (5.1 ounces) on Folica, you can also get it from CVS for 20 dollars. This one really makes your hair shiny and soft and smooth. FHI Heat Hot Sauce- This costs $14.00 for 2 ounces on Folica. A bit pricey, but OOH LA LA! Works beautifully and makes your hair really soft and shiny. Sedu Heat Protectants- These cost $12.99 for a 8 ounce spray bottle on Folica, they only protect your hair, but don't add much shine. Basically, if you're looking for the cheapest one, use any Sedu Heat Protectant on Folica. If you want one that will make your hair really shiny and soft and smooth, get Super Skinny Serum. Use FHI Hot Sauce if you don't care about prices. Good Luck!

No, CitreShine does not protect hair against heat damage, nor does Garnier. Refer to the above message which is very helpful.

When I went to the Mall she said it the 1 1/4 can curl it, because of the heat.

I have both the corioliss black 1 inch and the solia 1 1/4 inch, and they both work pretty much the same, I would buy the solia 1 1/4 inch before the corioloss only because it dont snag your hair, it glides more smoothly. I have to go over my hair several times with both the flat irons to get straight sleek results, but the solia want snag and thats a plus, also you can still do curls with it.

You can definitely curl with the solia 1 1/4" Any size flat iron will curl (especially the ones with rounded edges like the solia) but you will just acheive a different look, just like using a different barrel size curling iron.

when i tried all it did was make dents in my hair.i wouldnt try curling w/ this straightener

Was it helpful to you?

Here's the thing. I tried using this iron to curl my hair and it curled it fantastically. But when I tried to curl my sister's hair it just made dents. Someone told me that some people's hair can't be curled with flat irons.
