I had the same question, so I wrote in and asked, and the managment said that there was no difference on the two. Their performance is the same, and they are both equally good. THe only difference is that one is conrtibuting to the Breast Cancer Foundation, so if I were you, I would definately buy that one!

They are identical. Just different color.

The smaller plate size is for smaller hair, if you have long hair you should go for a bigger plate. The smaller plate serves people with smaller hair because it has more control over it.

I would honestly try to use less product on your hair.. i think its too much! like eliminate one of the products each time you do your hair and see if using one less is better..

because you are using a deep conditioner and a spray conditioner on bleached hair your hair isn't going to be as "flat" as you want it because since you bleach your hair thats going to make your hair very porous and absorb every amount of conditioner you put on it. if i were you i would use Aveda's line of Brilliant. its made for thick wavy which is what i use. its not going to put too much moisture into your hair so your hair won't be poofy, and it won't weigh your hair down to make it look dirty.

Let it heat up, the gap will disappear.

If you read under tips and advice someone left a tip about this. You could straighten a strand of hair then go back to the same strand and instead of going straight down turn the straightner up, kind of roll it towards you as you straighten.

This is what worked for me but it's hard to describe... remember that only the inside of the iron is hot, not the outside so you can't use it like a normal curling iron. You start the iron at the top of the strand, and slowly "twirl" the iron down the strand so that all parts of the strand go through the hot plates while turning the iron. Keep the iron vertical and rotate it while the hair moves through. It definitely takes some practice. And watch your fingers while doing it.

YES. I have curly hair, almost "perm like" but its naturally curly and I got a CHI iron from my mom for Christmas, it works good but it pulls your hair and burns your hair, specially the ends. My cousin has a Solia iron and when I spent a night I used it, it such a difference! I use to get straight hair with three or more strokes per section, now - one or two and its straight!! Straighter then ever, Jennifer Aniston straight! So since it works great, I use very little styling products. With CHI I would do my hair only two to three times a week because of the damage, with the Solia, I flat iron my hair EVERY DAY and my hair is healthier then before, trust the reviews BUY IT!! I got one for my sister and one for my best friend!

Definitely it is... My sister used it and when she saw my hair after i had used the solia straightner, she returned it and bought this one!

Well I have always used the 1" just cause I feel it works better than bigger flat irons. I think the bigger flat irons are for people who have super long hair. Plus if your wantting to curl with it you should most diffenetly go with the 1". By the way if you look at other peoples questions someone already asked how to curl with a flat iron. Two people replyed and answere and they both gave a good description of how to do it. I would take a look if I were you.

Since your hair is fine and not long, I think one inch (this model) is ideal for you.

I agree with the person above me you really should get the 1".
