Ok... My hair rhymes with nightmare. I have tried all kinds of flat iron, Sedu (died out my hair), Conair (a piece of junk), Revlon (my first. requires a lot of strengh to work well), Wiggo (smells horrible and just don't hot enough) and the CHI (that broke after 1 week of use). Then when I was about to give up and just wear my hair curly (ugh!) I decided to try one more product. and OH MY GOD!!! It was so easy, so quick. The result you see on the picture I got in 35 minuts! it gets really hot, and you can adjust the temperature! It's very well mad, doen't look like cheap material like the CHI. So stop reading and buy it!

I have been struggling with thick wavy, frizzy hair for years......so, when I changed hairstylists I absolutely loved how my hair looked when she flat ironed it. She had used a CHI and I was determined to get one.

I came here looking for reviews of the CHI and was so disappointed in what I saw.......so, on to other flat irons, I found the Solia and loved the reviews. I think I sat here reading for 2 hours straight. I am very happy with my purchase.

When I got my iron, Folica was running a FREE shipping and heat protectant pouch/mat.......which was perfect. I had a big even to go to on Saturday (out of town....so the pouch was perfect) and wanted the iron by then. I ordered it on a Tuesday and upgraded to 2-day shipping. I received it on Thursday and actually got to practice with the iron before I left.......it worked wonderfully. I'm so glad I found this site and my Solia!!!!

After reading several reviews about different flat irons, I chose the Solia. It worked great, I was very impressed. My mom is Japanese and my dad is black. My hair in it's natural state is very curly, and unless it is straightened well, it will get frizzy.
After I set my hair and used the SOLIA (370 degress)There was no frizz and my hair stayed straight.I am definitely sold on the Solia, it worked extremely well on my hair. Unfortunately I have an after picture only.
FYI: The only part I was concerned about is the high level of heat, so I will set my hair differently, to use a lower level of heat. (Roller Set)Because it seemed like my ends were drier than before.
I would recommend if you have curly hair, and have good products to use that the Solia will produce the results you desire. It did for me.

Product Rating: 5 wonderful product!!!

wow, this product is amazing! it was a gift to me, and i couldn't have been happier.

This Solia flat iron is the best i think. It lets you adjust the heat for your hair type, and doesn't burn your hair! The ceramic plates leave your hair to look AND feel very smooth and soft. It is really worth the money =) i've dealt with flat irons that "claim" to be ceramic, and all they did was burn my hair and damage it.

This is definitely #1 !!

I love this flat iron!!! I have used other flat irons that go up to 400 degrees, but they never got my hair as straight as Solia does. I have very thick curly, wavy hair. I have never been able to let my hair down without having some part of it pulled back. I can now Have my hair down blow in the wind and it is still perfect. I would, and have, recommend this product to anyone with thick hair. It is a great price and you can have that extra degrees. The first picture is with a cheap flat iron that left my hair puffy. The second picture is with the Solia. :)

I have been researching various hair straighteners for the longest time until I came across this site. Since the #1 hair straightener was a bit out of my range price wise, I opted for the Solia. After browsing the before and after pictures, I purchased it.

Let me say after years and years of using practically every hair product on the market and several department store hair straighteners, I was pretty skeptical of the performance of this straightener. While my hair wasn't extremely curly, it was wavy and VERY stubborn. Most annoyingly, my bangs would frizz to the point nothing would tame them.

After receiving my Solia, I gave it a very quick try to see what would happen. I only spent about 15 minutes and my hair went from dried out looking and frizzy to healthy and amazingly straight!

I can not tell you how elated I am with this product! The saying "If it worked for me, it'll work for anyone" is so cliche, but it's the honest truth! If you have stubborn hair and want something that really works, buy this straightener!! It's absolutely wonderful!

Product Rating: 5 So awesome!!!

It heats up fast, and the grip is really nice. also you don't get the burnt hair smell at all. the only problem is that it leaves the hair static, but thats not really a problem.

I had been using a Vidal Sasoon Flat Iron for about 3 years but the thing sucked so much I wanted a professional flat iron. My Solia flat iron has been my greatest investment ever! I love it! <br><br>

It only takes 15 minutes to straighten my hair and it is so easy! The iron slides right through and it is works quickly. There is no need to wait for it to keep heating up after every part I straighten. It is a light and sturdy iron. It is a must have for every girl!

well, well. i bought this a little while ago, and so now im givin my review. take in mind im a guy, have no knowledge of what to do with my hair, but i do what i can with as little hassle as possible, but this is a good product! i simply shampoo my hair with Pantene extra liso shampoo + conditioner, i prefer it over garnier fructis which is what i used to use. while i condition i detangle, and then let air dry, once dry i use the solia flat iron at 450 degrees to be quick about it. probably not the best thing to do, and as how i dont use any other product while im using the iron.. hey it works pretty well just by itself, and im good for a few days till i wash my hair again! cant beat that.

This product is awesome! I love how straight it makes my hair. Most flat irons cannot even keep down the frizzies, but this one really does the job. It makes my hair so shiny and healthy looking. I would tell everyone, they should get this product.

Ok, I was a previously owned the Chi, however the Solia is the the best. I love it, I am happy I decided to follow the suggestions of others here and purchase it. My hair looked great, heats up quickly, and if it can straighten my thick wavy hair, i think it can do anyone. I don't know how durable the Solia is, I can only go by the previous reviews, however I can agree with the complaints about the CHI. Both mine and my friends stopped working after the 1-year-warranty expired. The light wouldn't stay lit and it wouldn't heat. But I am very happy with my new straightener, I <3 the Solia!!

Before I didn't think there was a flat iron that would acutally work, because I would straighten my hair and 20 min later my hair would go wavy! I got really frustrated with my irons untill I found this website and I thought I would try the solia, and it was a great choice! solia actually keeps my hair straight! I don't have to worry about it getting ruined anymore! I would reccomend it for people with really curly hair that just can't find the perfect straightne, solia is what your looking for!

I had ordered a cheapy flat iron from hsn.com. When I had called to confirm my order, they had told me that my files were lost and they couldn't order me another one because it was already all sold out. I was so upset!

Then one day I found folica.com and decided after all the reviews I've read, to order a Solia 1 1/4" flat iron. This iron is so great. It glides over my hair like butter on hot bread!! I'm actually glad that hsn.com lost my order because then I probably wouldn't be as happy with that cheapy flat iron as I am with this Solia flat iron! I am definitly going to recommend this flat iron to all my family and friends! It is so worth the price!

This solia straightener works great. make sure u put product in your hair before you use it so that your hair is protected and so that it doesnt get damaged. There are many heat options so it works for all types of hair. i have thick, wavy hair and after using the straightener for 5 minutes its perfect. the one thing i really like about it is that it doesnt make your hair soo flat that it looks weird. the straightener makes your hair look naturally flat, not overdone. get it!! its a great deal and works great.

Product Rating: 5 It actually is great! Great for long hair. Easy on the hands!

I bought this with some doubt that it would work for me. I had never used a straightener before, and I have pretty wavy hair so I wondered if I would get that perfect straight hair that I wanted. I also didn't know if I could hold the straightener since I need hand surgery- but since the shipping was free I decided to give it a try.

And I LOVE it! The 1 1/4" Solia actually does straighten wavy long hair. My hair is down to my bra strap, but I have no problem with this width of straightener, even though the recommendation is that a person with long hair gets the larger size. I just blow dry my hair as straight as I can. Then I run the straightener through my hair and it is done in around 10 minutes! And it doesn't hurt my hand to use it!

I bought this fully expecting to have to return it, but NO WAY!! I love the results! Here are my before and after pics to see the difference too!
