this iron is by far the greatest straightening iron i've ever used...even better than the CHI iron i used to have. it heats up soooooo fast and instantly straightens. i have fairly thick hair that is naturally wavy and this iron really smoothed all my waves!!! worth the money!!!
I &HEART Solia!!!!

I almost bought a CHI and am glad I didn't! The Solia is PERFECT! Everytime I do my hair in the morning, I leave feeling like I just left my stylist! It was the best purchase EVER! AND it comes with the pouch! so travel friendly. It's less then the CHI and I think BETTER! Thank you, I'm highly enjoying my investment! :)
p.s. it isn't frying my ends like my last straightener. Ya ME!
It only gets better

I have had my solia for two years now and it still does wonders. It's still amazining every time I use it and the response is always the same from others...they just can't belive how my hair goes from short and nappy to just wow.
I used to straighten my hair about every other month. The solia gets easier to use and my hair become better every time.
I love this iron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My hair looks better then most peoples $80 every six weeks relaxers. Its softer,shiner and easier to manage!!!!!!
Just but it already!!!
Awesome Flat iron!!

I purchased this flat iron after reading most of the reviews. I just have to say that I love it! It totally straightens my hair within minuets. I don't really have to blow dry my hair straight I just dry it and run the flat iron through it and my hair is perfectly straight. I recommend this iron to everyone!
A good flat iron and definitely keeps up past warranty

This is a really awesome flat iron, definitely worth the money. I bought this iron a year ago, and it was amazing. It had a 1 year warranty I think and lasted through it. The swivel chord I think worked against it because in the end my iron stopped getting power. The two pictures I submitted show you the two different ways I styled my hair. The wavy hair was done more recently, and the straight style is dated. This is the best iron I've ever owned and i can't wait to get it the PINK ONE :P
By the by, i got it from this site, which is... AMAZING.
the best

Im mixed with Filipino and Black and for a while I was using the GoldNHot Ceramic Flat iron found in most beauty supplies on the east coast, but all that did was toast my hair. I could smell my hair cooking! I found this website through Google, and read the reviews of several women and looked at their pictures. Being a struggling college student I didnt want to just spend $88. But they have this great 30 Day M/B Garauntee. I wasnt too satisfied with the 1 1/4 size because it couldnt curl my hair the way I wanted it too, so I exchanged it for the 1 inch (same size as my GoldNHot) and We'll see what happens! Im sure it will be great! (Will post under 1 inch reviews in about a week w/ before and after pics)
The only products that I use in my hair are
VO5 Moisturize Hot Oil Treatment (once a week)
VO5 Leave in Conditioner (every other day)
Isoplus Oil Sheen Spray (maybe once every two days)
This is a great product!
Would buy it again! A+

I had gone to the hairdressers and gotten a new haircut. It was the type that you want to keep straight. I have been trying to get that effect with my hair for some time now. My hair is naturally very wavy almost curly. The hairdresser even asked if I had a perm. Well I really don't like when my hair curls up so much as along with the curls comes frizziness! So I bought the flat iron and tried it out and the first time it worked so well that I couldn't believe it! For the first time in my life I was able to duplicate what the hairdresser had done for me in the salon! Even my husband was amazed at the results. So now I use it all the time and it is so easy to use. It is always ready for use when I finish drying my hair. And the best part is that my hair is just as straight the next day too! I would advise anyone to buy this product as it certainly delivers what it says it will!
Really Works

My bi-racial daughter has an incredibly massive head of thick curly hair. She had been begging for a long time to have her hair straightened. She asked for a flat iron for her birthday so I searched online for a good one. Came across this sight and after reading so many positive reviews I purchased one. I got advice from here and friends about products to use. Our routine is wash with Pantene Pro-V daily moisture renewal shampoo or Shaklee ProSante shampoo and condition with Shaklee ProSante conditioner. At first I went all out and got NeXXus heat protexx and the results were ok. Her hair was still very "big". While comparing products I found that the top listed ingredients in VO5 Miracle Mist were identical at 1/3 of the price. We tried it and I must say the results were so much better. It takes about an hour to do it all and I set the temp between 375 and 425. I'm very happy with this product and so is my daughter. The first picture I've posted is just before our first use. Since I can only post 2 photos I can't show the difference in the 2 products. The after pic is using the VO5. Thanks to all!

Just a while ago, I thought my Solia broke. The past few year Ive only used it like maybe 10 times bec. Im too busy to fuss about my hair.
I was told that there was no defect. It was an error in my part because I accidentally touched the reset button. What do I know about electrical circuits.
Anyway-- in terms of quality, Im happy with it. I can do my extremely long hair in 5 minutes. Of course its not perfect but if you have the right straightening lotion, you'll be fine. Heat activates its straigtening power. I use lanza smoother and other brands as well. For now my hair like garnier shampoo and condition for smoother hair, dove repair and neutrogena. I splurge with my hair when i feel like it and you'll see with my pic why.
Because my hair is long, I need to make sure the ends are healthy. Solia is a good brand. I cant compare it with Chi or Sedu because Ive never tried those.
I highly recommend it because it works.
PS. always use a good hair serum/straightening balm. It does help.
Everybody is in love with my NEW HAIR!!

After my cheapie hair straightener finally died I bought myself an upgrade. Not only does this straightener do a better job, it works in nearly half the time. I don't know how I went so long without it.
Works as well as Sedu..for me...

Recently my sister bought a Sedu flat iron and I absolutely loved it! I had been using a conair one, so to go from that into a professional one was amazing! I came to folica.com to research the flat iron i was going to buy. While I was doing research, my mom, who also liked my sisters Sedu, but has shorter hair, decided to get a Chi, (no joke) so I got do the comparison myself! After using both I preferred the Sedu, so I came online again to order my Sedu, then I saw the Solia. I figured for about half of the price it might be a good idea to try it based on the reviews of other people. I am so glad I did, I actually prefer it to the Sedu! It is heavier, so I feel like I am not applying as much tension as I straighten my hair. Now, my hair is thick and coarse, not really wavy or curly, just puffy, and this flat iron makes my hair soft, and flat, and skinny! That was really the only difference I saw between the 2 irons, so if you want lightweight I would go for the Sedu, but my final results were the same with both, but for a fraction of the price!
Check out my gorgeous pictures to see how the Solia worked for me.
Fabolous

This iron is the best for straighting hair that is already straight or if your hair is too straight, you can create a slight curl.I am so pleased with my iron. I highly recommed this iron. Don't look any further. This iron is the ONE. The price tag is a steal!
Love my Solia!!

My hair isn't crazy thick or curly, but it would always end up a U shape cause I let my hair air dry on my shoulders, I'm not sure how to explain it. It really bugged me forever. Solia made my hair even shinier and got rid of those Us. My hair was really straight, but it looked plain and ugly on me so I experimented with waves/curls. I'm not a pro at curls or waves but I still love the results!
This is my first expensive flat iron and I love it. Heats up fast too~
best iron ever
