My first straightening iron

I have curly hair that I've blow dried straight every day for the last 8 yrs. It's never been hard to get my hair straight, but it always seems to curl back up with even an ounce of humidity in the air. But when I ran the Solia over my bangs (after I'd blow dried them straight), and then went outside in the thick wet air...I couldn't belive it! They stayed straight - for the first time in my life. The nicest thing is that it really kind of softens your hair - it doesn't get dry, straw-like, overly stick-straight or anything.... It has such a natural look, and doesn't damage the hair at all. I'd highly recommend this to anyone.
Great & straight!

The Solia 1 1/4'' works very well. It just arrived today. I tried it after I had already blow dried my naturally dry and curly hair. Normally when I straighten my hair I use straightening serum and cream. Today I only had regular mousse in my hair and that was fine with the Solia. The straightener made my hair very straight, very quickly. It works much better than my old Conair, with which I used to have to blow dry my hair straight first and then run the straightener through it many times. Today I used the solia on my dry, curly hair and it made it look straight and pretty. I am very happy with this purchase.
PERFECT

i love this flat iron. it gets my hair straighter than i ever thought it could get with some iron! however, solia is a great product and in my opinion well worth the money. i have wavy hair that is untamable at times and takes a super long time to style. this iron is great because you can take a shower and iron your hair only 20 minutes later without blow drying it. i tryed it! my hair was damp and not once did i hear a sizzle or a damaging noise. the ion ceramic plates treat my hair very well like it deserves to be treated. the only negative thing i can say is that it is a little time consuming, but not by much. thank you.
IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

I have been looking for a great hair iron for the longest time. I was considering on buying the Chi iron, but thanks to the reviews, i changed my mind and made the best decision i could have ever made, to buy Solia! I have just had the Solia Iron for about half a week and a lot of my co-workers have noticed a difference in my hair. It's a lot smoother and it straightens faster without the smell of burnt hair. Yesterday my aunt,who has really long tacky wavy hair, picked me up from work and she saw the difference in my hair and as soon as we got home I turned on the iron, it heated really fast and i ironed her hair and it only took about 20-25 minutes (thats cuz we were talking and taking our time). I just had to run the iron through her hair once and that was it! She was so happy and amazed by it, that she told me that she was going to call me up as soon as she got home so I could give the website. And guess what? Her iron is already on her way! Sincerely the Solia Iron is the best product ive tried and its not as expesive as a lot of the others! It's truly worth it!
Well worth the money

Like everyone else, i'm 100% pleased with this straightener. At first, I was hesitant about spending $90 dollars on something for my hair. My hair is a gross combination of waves, curls, and frizz. Obviously it's hard to combat that with the regular $25 one from Wal-Mart. It heated up to 370 degrees within 5 seconds and one stroke down my hair made it incredibley straight. The ends didn't flip out or go out in weird directions. It was perfect, salon-style perfect. The back of my hair wasn't a hassle like it normally is. Same effect after one stroke. It took me only about 10 minutes to get stick straight hair compared to my regular 45 minutes+. The next morning when I woke up, it looked the exact same. No bedhead whatsoever. With this, you could straighten your hair every other day, like suggested for healty hair. Where I live, if I walk outside it feels like someone threw a wet towel on me. Humidity was my enemy. Now, I don't have to worry about it. I can drive with the windows down, get out, and have amazing hair. I seriously can't stress enough how amazing this is. If you have any doubts about it, forget them. You will be completely satisfied.
Pretty darn good straightener

I first ordered the 1" Solia, it took about a week to get here, and when it finally did, it was defected. The cerarmis plates didnt meet so it couldnt grip or straighten my hair. It was a pain to send it back, but Folica asked no questions and sent me a new one right away, the 1 1/4". It heats up in under 10 secs. and straightens very well. I love it and would def. recommened it!
Works Great!

I purchased the Solia Professional Ceramic Ion Flat Iron a few weeks ago and it works great! I use it every morning and my hair always comes out straight and silky. It never pulls my hair or leaves it feeling damaged in any way. I would highly recommend this flat iron to everyone. Just be careful because it does get very hot.
most amazing flat iron ever!!!

Previously I used a CHI- but like everyone elses- it shorted out and they were unable to fix it and the warrenty was out. (Not too happy after spending 150 on it and it no longer working) So I tried the Solia- It was much less and works just as well as my CHI did- if not BETTER...i have very thick wavy hair and it does wonders for me. I would highly suggest this iron over the CHI.
First flat iron to work!

I have always been the girl who had kinky curly hair. I then migrated into being the girl with straight, poofy hair. About six years ago I discovered that my hair stylist could flat iron my hair and oh wow did that make me excited. I couldn't afford a high quality flat iron so I went to Sally's and bought a $30 one. This made my hair straight, but frizzy. That one got ruined so my mom bought me a $40 one. This made my hair straight and a little less frizzy, but nothing like how my stylist could do.
I tried a relaxer and even that required me to have a decent flat iron. I don't like my hair curly because I have to weigh it down with so much gel and spray that it doesn't move by the time I'm done with it. I found this site about a month ago and decided to buy a good quality flat iron because I felt it'd be well worth it. I found this one and although it wasn't rated #1, it was #2 and it was a bit cheaper than the Sedu.
I've been antsy for the past four days. It finally arrived today and when I got home from work I put it to the test. I have to blow dry my hair before I straighten it no matter what or else nothing will work on my hair. The first two pictures are me with wet curly hair, and then my frizzy, afro-poof blow dried hair. The after is when I used my brand new Solia flat iron. I was AMAZED. I never thought I could get such a flat, straight, silky hairstyle without the help of my stylist! The only product I use on my hair anymore is BioSilk Silk Therapy and it works wonders. The Solia is definately something I would recommend. Trust me, you don't know what frizzy is until you've grown up with my hair. I'm mixed so I got the best of both worlds, but it just came with some hard to tame hair.
The Solia is wonderful, I fell in love immeadiately when I ran it through my hair and it was already flatened. If this product can work on MY unruly hair, it will definately work on anyone elses. The shipping was fast (and free) and this product runs through your hair so smoothly. I am so extatic because now I don't have to wait to make a hair appointment and spent $14 to make my hair straight, I can just go to my bathroom, turn on my Solia and do it myself for free!

Love this product! Purchase was quick, simple and Folica kept me informed as to exactly when my iron would arrive - just 3 days after I ordered it. Opened up the package, plugged it in and, Voila, almost instant heat, my other flat iron died after less than 6 months. Smoothed the iron over a section of hair and it was extremely smooth and silky. I only need to to the top layers of my hair, but what a difference it made, from frizz-ball to sleek and soft in no time flat. I couldn't ask for anything more. If you are looking for a great flat iron, this is it! Definitely worth the money. And Folica is a terrific company to deal with. I couldn't be without this iron. Me and my hair are happy again. Thanks!
Better for thin hair

The solia does work well, especially at the high temperatures. However, it's more suitable for thin hair. I have extremely thick, coarse hair. My roommate has a chi and so far, I would rather stick to the chi as it makes my hair smoother than what the solia can do at the highest temperature. I do see the potential of what the solia can do for thin hair. I can see improvements in frizziness and overall volume.
It's Amazing!

I just purchased the Solia flat iron a few days ago and recieved it today. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first bought it, but I read through some of the reviews and had to try it for myself, and I found that it works AMAZINGLY.
My hair never even snagged once. I have the curliest, thickest hair and it straightened like with no other straightener I'd ever used. It was completey worth the 90-or-so dollars. I'll never use a different straightener.

I ordered the Solia a few days ago from Folica, and got it about a week later (due to holidays and the weekend). I plugged it in as soon as I got it, and it heated up in a matter of seconds - literally.
This item was WORTH THE PRICE. It exceeded my expectations tremendously. I have naturally wavy/frizzy/coarse hair and every other product I used had damaged it even further. I noticed right after I used the Solia that my hair was softer, smooth, and stick straight. I even tried straightening my hair in the bathroom after I took a shower - talk about humid. It straightened JUST AS WELL as a non-humid room. The best part of all this was it was extremely quick! I went from shower to straight hair in about 20 minutes - blowdrying and all!
I highly recommend the straightener to anybody with nasty, horrible hair like mine. It's fast and simple. I love it.

...probably just like everyone else who has gotten this hari straightener, I tried it out immediately and I absolutely love it. I haven't tried it on dry hair but only have used it on damp hair. For me it takes about 5 mintues longer than blowdrying my hair straight, but it is worth it because my hair is so smoothe and shiny. I am waiting for some humidity (not like its 3 days away from JUNE or anything.. stupid weather). Anyway yeah, it is amazing.. my hair never gets crispy or anything.. which is a good thing because I like having hair!!
it's pretty good

I received the Solia 1 1/4 inch flat iron about one month ago. Overally I'm pretty happy with it. I would really give it 4 1/2 stars if i could. The on-off switch is in a hard to reach position, so it's easy to burn your hand on it. It get's very hot, which is good because i believe that the hotter the plates the better your hair is straightened. But, i've gotten burnt on it many times, so i'd be careful. It works really well. It's not heavy, and it doesn't pull your hair at all. It used to take me like 45 minutes to straighten my hair and not it taked 15-20.

When it comes to my hair i am extremelyyy picky about the way it comes out when its straight so picky that i usually go to a salon every wekeend to straighten it. When i read the product reviews i was convinced that theres no way this iron is that good but i gave up due to temptation and decided to buy it try it and if i didnt like it, id return it. Well i used it the day i got it and im impressed...it doesnt break my hair and gets it really straight. It took me 35min to straighten my hair as opposed to an hour and a half! If you are having doubts about this item forget them...this is the best iron ive tried and believe me ive tried atleast 10 expensive top notch hair irons.
Perfect

I LOVE THIS FLAT IRON! I never thought my hair could be so soft and smooth. I thought I would have to go through life with wavy frizzy hair. Not anymore! Just a few passes with this iron and "magic" smooth straight hair.

This product works amazing,it straightens so well even on hair that isnt completly dry. I used it on the night of my 21st birthday in humid Atlanta and I stayed sleek, straight and sexy all night. I love the Solia ceramic straightner and everybody (especially women of color) need to but it.
