This is the best straightener I have ever used. It eliminates frizz and I never imagined my hair could be as straight and weightless as it is now. I highly recommend this product.
Really is a Good flat iron.

I have hair that is not curly or straight so I have to fix it in order to make it look good. I have owned two flat irons before and the one I last one I had was a Pro Ceramic Tools from Sally's Beauty Store that still works and is good but it snags my hair. I thought why not invest in something better and I have to say that this is a really good iron.
It doesn't snag and just glides through the hair. After reading the reviews I decided to take a chance and I am really happy with the product. I bought the Solia 1'3/4 because my hair is long. It really is easy to use, it is not heavy and it gets the job done.
I recommend this iron to anyone that wants to invest in a good flat iron. Lastly, when you use the flat iron it will not work on completely wet hair. There have been some reviews here that have said that it doesn't work on wet hair but by doing that you can really do some damage on your hair.
I like to have my hair blow-dried before styling as it always should be done. So for all you first timers on flat irons, I highly recommmed that you blow dry first and than flat iron. You can also let your hair dry naturally then use the flat iron which is just as good. This really is a great flat iron if used correctly.
Well worth the money

This iron works really great. I have very thick,wavy, unruly hair in low humidity areas. I moved to a high humidity area, and my hair was totally out of control. I have had the iron for about a month, and have to say that my hair has never looked so smooth or shiny. It is fast, it is easy, and well worth the money. It's like I have a brand new head of hair. A very good investment, in my opinion.
Good product

Good product; straightens hair well. Be careful when using at high heat as it will cause hair breakage.

This flat iron works great. It reduced the amount of time I spend on my hair every morning by half! I was using an old HotTools which was not working at all.
I would purchase this item again.
Awesome Straightener!

If you want straight hair, this will do it. I love it, my girlfriend at worked tried it and she swore nothing could straighten her hair. Well I proved her wrong with the Solia ceramic straightener. She's looking to buy one soon! Great service with this company as well. Thank you from a satisfied customer!

As a flight attendant, my hair needs to look great all the time. I need to have a professional look as a friendly one. Buying the Solia was the best thing I did, my hair is long and curly, and I have lots of hair. My old flat iron was good, but wasn’t a ceramic iron. I noticed that my hair that was always healthy was beginning to get damaged. So, since I need (and love) to look good I decided to buy the Solia. My hair looks great!!! Very shine and silky. I started to receive complements from passengers on how beautiful my hair is.
Ehh

I was so excited to purchase my Solia after reading MANY MANY reviews.
I think, plain and simple my hair just may be too damaged for this straightener. It does the job, and gets my hair straight, doesn't cut down on time too much, but I don't see the shine and movement that is said to happen so often with this iron.
Also, I found it near impossible to curly my ends, even after a hefty 3 inch trim of the dead ones, a smaller size may be more ideal for flipping out.
Keep in mind I ONLY use professional products, mostly Paul Mitchell, with some Bedhead products thrown in the mix.
Here is what I did just to be specific enough to show I have a relatively good idea of what I'm doing lol-
Shampood & conditioned my hair (thickTHICK, long, loosely curled and DRY) with Bedhead Moisture Maniac Shampoo, and BedHead Dumb Blonde reconstructor deep conditioner.
Combed while wet, then towel dried until slightly damp.
Applied Thermasilk detangler, Rusk Gloss Drops, Paul Mitchell Straight works, and finally Paul Mitchell Seal and Shine for heat protection. I comb each product through before applying the next
Then sectioned hair off into four parts and blow dried with large round brush. Then re-added Rusk Gloss Drops and sprayed some more Seal & shine, combed through.
Turned on Solia iron, *Lightning fast heat up* that's a plus. Started ironing. Ironed in 1-2inch sections at a time.
After I was through added more gloss drops (lol they are a godsend) & was done. I didn't see an INCREDIBLE change from the Vidal Sassoon ceramic "plated" iron I bought for $30 prior to the Solia. It was a decent improvement, but not worth $100 - maybe $50 or so, but again I wasn't blown away.
I wasn't blown away, but if I can keep my hair this straight with little damage or no damage, then this iron becomes worth it.
Another plus is the light weight, and LONG cord - I'm 5'11''
& often do my hair standing up, so don't let anyone say it's too short.
& After a day of sweating from work, I didn't notice any annoying crinkles and curls in my hair. So if it is in fact humidity resistent it MIGHT get another star from me.
But if you have overly processed/damaged hair, I just don't think this iron will cut it. It's good..for now, but not the best.
Happy shopping!

I am very satisfied with this product. If you have curly thick, had to maintain hair, this is the product for you. I have spent hundreds of dollars on flat irons and straightening creams and have never been able to accomplish what I can with this flat iron. I put no product in my hair, with damp hair, and have silky straight hair. My ends usually frizz up and look dried out, but somehow with this flat iron my hair looks like it does in the Pantene commercials. I love, love, love it. All my co-workers and friends are buying this flat iron. Do not hesitate, spend the money for great quality.
Its ok..

I thought that it was just okay. I sent mine back because I did not think it was worth 98 dollars but it works okay. I figured that my 30 dollar curlmaster works much better. To me, this straigtner would work well on REALLY thick hair, mine isnt.
Not too shabby...

Considering that my last flat iron was a Vidal Sasson purchased in 2002 the Solia is quite impressive. It smoothes my hair and does not pull. However, it did not entirely eradicate the little frizzes without some repeating.
Amazing!

My hair was as unruly as it get's before I purchased this product. With my natural wave and general dryness I could never straighten it to be perfectly smooth. When I tried my new flat iron, it made my hair more flat than I've ever seen it! It now looks healthy and shiny in a fraction of the time it used to take. I highly recommend this product!
Great Flat Iron

I just purchased this flat iron and really like it. My hair is naturally curly and very hard to manage and this flat iron works great and straightens it very quickly. It also heats up very quickly which is a definite plus. The only thing that I don't like is that my hair sometimes gets caught in between the metal and the plastic but that doesn't happen to often. Overall, I would say that this is an excellent purchase and well worth the money!
I love it!!!!!

I got my solia about 3 weeks ago and I love it!! My hair is just a bit wavy and it makes it sooo straight and sleek. It looks really healthy too. I had the Babyliss ceramic with the comb before I got this. I used the Babyliss for about a year and then the ceramic started to chip off and reveal the metal plates. This is by far the best!!! I would highly recommend it.
Try it out for yourself

The SOLIA flat iron was sent to me the very next day,when I used it, it just felt like a hot-tools flat iron. but i guess you have to break it in at first because the second day it worked even better. Like now when I go out and party all night it still looks like i just straighten it the next morning. the best part about it is i dint even starghtened it. This product is very worth it. It even looks nice to show off, especially when your friends ask why your hair looks nice!

First of all Folica.com has great shipping, I ordered my iron Sunday morning and received it Tuesday evening and shipping was free!
As far as the iron goes it works very well. I am Hispanic and chemically straighten my hair every six months. Usually I wash, condition, and dry my hair with rollers for an hour followed by another half hour of blow drying to get it straight. The process usually takes two hours at the salon and I never even attempt to do it at home. Two of my friends own this iron and recommended it to me.
I received my iron on Tuesday evening and 1 hour later my hair was straight. I washed and conditioned my hair as usual, then put some John Frieda Frizz Ease in it and divided it into five sections. I used my blow dryer only to get the excess water out of my hair. Then I divided each section into three and went through each section with the iron. An hour later I had straight hair! Never in my life have I been able to do my own hair at home without a professional and have it look good.
I recommend this iron but not for daily use, because applying any kind of heat (iron, blow dryer, rollers, hot comb) to any type of hair everyday will cause damage. I have used it twice since I received it, once a week is enough for me.
