I always buy high priced hair products, and none of them has been better than the Solia! I can flat iron my hair in minutes and it will even stay like that for up to two days without having to re-flat iron my hair. Sooooo convienent!! Well who knows it could be longer but lets just say I also love to shower. I even love how I can put the super hot solia in the heat proof pouch, Without worring that it would catch on fire. Sooooo convienent!! First I wash my hair. Then I put in about a dime size of matrix biolage smooth therapie into my wet hair and blow dry. When dry, I add another dime size of matrix biolage, (mostly at the tips of hair, dont want too much on scalp) and then use my solia to flat iron my hair. After I'm all done straightening, I add about a dime of Bed Head TIGI After Party to my hair, which makes it feel like silk!! This process takes like 15 minutes or less, and will last for about two days, or till you wash your hair again. Im always getting great complements on my hair, Love my Solia!!
Its good and amazing

but sometimes when i am straightening my hair when i am pressing it it makes weird plastic sounds this due to the fact that its supposed to be lightweight and its inside is empty :P but its great and i love it although i live in Canada and it took me 2 weeks to get it ! OH GOD anyways yeah its good i recommended buying it .. I had a CONAIR NANO SILVER straightener be4 and it was not good as this because i had to fill it with water each time and it sometimes drops water and makes hair humid and i sweat a lot :P this straightener is amazing ... I GOT THE HOT PINK COLOR AND ITS HOT !
I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO BUY IT ! ITS THE BEST !!!!
GET IT!!! LOL

I had a Conair for quite a while but it started to get really bad. Not heating up and ruining my hair. So, I went to Folica and found the Solia. Not only is it at an affordable price but is straightens hair perfectly! Doesn't snag or pull. There is no buring smell and it comes in HOT PINK!(YaY!) WORTH EVERY PENNY!
:P
Ladies & gentlemen, meet my new best friend!!

I absolutely LOVE this straightener!! I'm half African-American, and most straighteners get my hair straight, but it's still poofy. And don't even get me started about any humidity, it's a disaster! The Solia makes my hair so sleek and so shiny and it STAYS that way! I curled my sister's hair and it turned out so beautifully! I would recommend this straightener to anyone and EVERYONE. The only thing I'm even vaguely disappointed about is that it doesn't run through my hair as smoothly as some of the reviews say it does. It sputters and jerks through my hair, but I'm thinking that it might just be something about my hair because it glides through my sister's hair just fine.
Best Iron Ever! forget ur CHI

This iron has the ability to straighten my hair in like ten minutes if I do it quickly. It keeps my hair straight for days and even though I live in the most humid environment it prevents my hair from frizzing. Also, it doesn't make my hair feel brittle, dry, or damaged like other irons. It feels silky and smooth and soft. It's completely awesome my whole family has it and most of my friends now since they always used to try and borrow mine. I recommend this to anyone who wants a professional style straightening.
Love it

I bought this flat iron a few days ago,and have had it for maybe 4 now,only been using it for 3 days but it is by far the best thing I've ever gotten for my hair. I'm African American with fine,shoulder length hair.I have baby hair that refused to go away and would leave humps on the sides of both my hair-even after a relaxer.I bought the Solia after getting annoyed with the cheap straighteners that smoke and take over 30 minutes to straighten.The Solia heats up quick but doesn't show smoke like the others-I also have yet to burn myself which is a shock to my friends and family.It does what it says,my hair is incredibly soft after using it and shiny.The baby hairs finally lay down,which is all worth the money for me.My only advice if you do purchase the straightener is to invest in some heat protection-although it doesn't show heat or smell like it is even releasing heat the thing is hot and could easily burn away at your hair.I use motions heat spray-their products work for me,but I think most heat products will do the job.
I HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone that needs a quality straighter that doesn't cost an arm and leg,doesn't like to spend FOREVER on doing her hair and wants to keep hair looking healthy and happy.
:)
I attached my morning hair(actually decent for once) and the after once straightened with Solia.Took a little over 10 minutes to do.
it's good...but...

Ok so i've had sooo many straighteners and the best one so far has to be the sedu, the new one inch. My girlfriend and I tried this one after my sedu, and it is good, it gets our hair pin straight, but it also snags and pulls our hair. We wouldn't recommend it if you don't want your hair snagged, but overall it does its job well. By the way, my hair is medium length and soooooooo curly. My girlfriend's hair is short and extremely curly as well. The one inch is best for people with short-medium length hair.
Exceptional Performance

I am a Caucasian male who has thick curly hair, and I hate it! I once have had my hair chemically straightened and it did not last over two weeks. I have tried a department store straightener and it just took too long and was frustrating to use since my hair would stick up and curl in weird ways--I had to go over the same spots again and again twisting my hair in the opposite direction. I just thought this was going to be my everyday battle, until I tried a professional hair straightener a friend of mine had in preparation for a wedding. My hair was straightened quickly and easily, and I knew I had to get one.
After two days of using this product, I would recommend it to anyone! I just crank up the heat to 450 F(since my hair has horrible curls) and just go to town for a few minutes... after about 15 - 20 minutes my hair is shiny and ever so straight.
GUYS DON'T BE AFRAID TO GO STRAIGHT, THIS WORKS FOR US! A MAN'S HAIR STRAIGHTENER WITH MORE POWER!!
This is an asewome straightner.

I BOUGHT THIS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND I WAS REALLY UNSURE ABOUT IT.
i'VE ONLY USED A CHI AND GOLD-N-HOT.
THE CHI NEVER REALLY WORKE THAT WELL, IT JUST DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB.
THIS ONE IS AWESOME. IT ONLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO HEAT UP. IT CURLS MY HAIR PERFECTLY AND IT WORKS WAY BEtTER THAN THE CHI.
IT MAKES MY HAIR LOOK PERFECT AND IT ONLY TAKES ME LIKE 7 MINTUES TO STRAIGHEN IT.
I LOVE IT.
IT WAS DEFF WORTH THE MONEY.
Good Choice

This is my 2nd flat iron, but my first quality one. Heats up quickly, & smoothes out my thick, kind of coarse hair really easily. Styling product buildup cleans off easily. Swiveling cord is nice - never gets tangled. Size is perfect for short hair, but still handles bigger sections well.
Perfect straightner!

This straightner did everything i hoped it to do...swivel cord, dosn't snag on hair, heats up way better than my cheapo one, and leaves my hair smooth and shiny. It actually FEELS healthier and silkier when im done, unlike the cheap straightners....it also leaves my hair straightned for a longer time cuz i only wash my hair everty 2-3 days and it keeps it straight EVEN when i put in a pony tail! i would highly recommend
Amazing

I love this straightener. It works wonders. My hair is generally frizzy, and has nasty curls, and using any other straighteners just doesn't work. The other straighteners tend to fry my hair, break it, leave it frizzy, and make it smell like burnt hair. Whereas this straightener leaves my hair shiny, and smooth to the touch. It doesn't break my hair or make it smell. It straightens faster, and leaves nothing curly. In my opinion ,overall, its amazing and totally will pay off within the first use!. I would highly suggest it to anyone out there :)
Wanted to try a new flat iron

I have had my Paul Brown Hawaii straightener for over 4+ years and while it isn't broken after 4+ years it isn't working as good as it was in the beginning. After reading these reviews and seeing that hair stays straight in the humid weather and in the rain, I thought that I would give another straightener a try.
As you can see from my pictures, the texture of my hair is fine, but I have a lot of it. My hair is relatively easy to straighten. I have to say I wasn't fully impressed with this iron. My hair still gets frizzy easily out in the humid weather and will curl up immediately in the rain. I absolutely loved, LOVED, loved my Paul Brown Hawaii straightener immediately and I didn't feel the same way about the Solia. I thought about returning the flat iron after the first try , however I decided to give the Solia a second try and I did like how easily it curled the ends of my hair upwards. I just got 9+ inches cut off my hair and my other straightener didn't curl it up the way the hair-do was intended.
All in all, I have tried MANY straighteners and while the Solia doesn't live up to the Paul Brown Hawaii flat iron (which they no longer sell by the way) it SURPASSED the Hot Tools flat irons, Chi flat irons amongst others.
I hope this has helped you make a more informed decision when it comes to picking a flat iron. Look at my pictures and realize that my hair does last all night through dancing and most nights out when I wake up in the morning my hair still looks decent.
Good luck!
I love it!

Although I do not straighten my hair regularly when I do this product is so wonderful! I live in HUMID Texas and my hair stays straight all day. I've owned this product since 2005 and it's lasted even after a few falls. I clean it with alcohol when it needs it (which is not often at all). This is the BEST flat iron... even friends who have used it LOVE it!
LOVE THE SOLIA!!!

I Have Had A Cheap Drugstore Brand For Quite A While And Everytime Using It Was Horrible!!! It Burned My Hair It Also Made My Hair Smell Burnt! After A Year The Plates Broke in Half And I Have Decided To Get The SOLIA. To me This Flat Iron Works Wonders It Left My Hair Nice And Soft And No Burning Smell YAY!!! As You See My Hair Is Thick And Curly, For My Hair To Turn Out Like This I Had To Blow Dry And Then Straigthen But Voila! Solia Gets The Job Done. Although I Do Recommend Purchasing The 1 3/4 for Longer Hair But I Have Long Hair It Works Ok I Bet The Bigger One Works Better But I Will Buy Both Because The 1- 1/4 Makes Cute Curls Without Curling Iron!
totally AMAZING !!!!

What can I add that the other ladies haven't already said? I read ALL the reviews ... but I have to say this: My hair HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER or felt as SOFT and SHINY since using the Solia 1.25" ... I had doubts about its ability to create such smooth hair (on my hair!) but after purchasing and using it I'm certainly a believer now! I've only had the Solia for two weeks and I'm now at the stage where I can't WAIT to wash and style my hair; before it was something I dreaded doing because it always meant frizzy hair and then hot rollers and then helmet head hairspray. The BEFORE pic is right after blow-drying (wanted to put it to the test on blow-dried hair!!) and the after pic is with a small amount of Biosilk Silk Therapy and finished off with Chi Shine Infusion. I also purchased from Folica the Crane hair clips and yes, even on my short hair it was worth it, to get to the underside layers! I also use the Biosilk Silk Therapy shampoo and the only thing locally purchased was the Tresemme Thermal Recovery Replinishing conditioner! My husband can't believe the difference not only in my hair, but in my self-esteem! To say I'm ecstatic is an understatement! I'm sure you'll appreciate the drastic difference in the before and after pictures. If you're doubting this flat iron's ability like I did, don't doubt it any more! I'm SOLD! Hope my review helps/encourages others to go ahead and JUST DO IT! Now, if only I could do something about the bags under my eyes! LOL! PS -- I can go for a couple of days inbetween washing/styling and that's something I COULD NEVER get away with prior to this purchase!!! :-)))))) Even after SLEEPING on it, it comes out looking just like the 'after' pic, I kid you not!!! :-))))))
Had it for a few years, still works

IT's a good iron, it does the job. I"ve had it for 2-3 years now...if not 4. And it still does the job, although not as good as i when i first got it, but that's expected. I've dropped it more than a dozen times and the plates looks like they're about to fall off (but still works! haha). I do recommend it because it's not expensive and its durable and easy to use. It's saved my life on numerous occasions. But for me, it's time for a change, I"m looking into buying the HR-Tourmaline, a lot of the salons are using it as their number 1 straightener. Solia was good to me, but it's time for a change. I really recommend you finding a good heat protector, i never used one and my hair got damaged (it's better now, but could use more help).
