IT SUCKS!! I just received a Solia 3/4 inch iron today. I have to say that it DID NOT do very well. It snagged my hair, and when I tried to curl it under, it didnt last very long. Plus, my hair feels really dry now. Im def not using this again...my crappy walmart curling iron did WAY better. Im sending it back.
I love It

I purchased this flat iron a couple of months ago. It works wonders on my hair. I am African-american and wear a press and curl and this little flat iron straighthens and curls my hair nicely. I think the investment was well worth the money I spent.
Thanks~!

This Straightening iron is definitely worth the money. With the 3/4" plate you can get really close to your ends without your hand getting in the way and with the rounded design you can make a nice loose curl. Your ends lay down very nice which means it's closing your cuticle nicely. No frizz!
Fast heating, light and portable

Great iron!! Heats fast, lightweight and portable. Not sure why anyone would want a larger bulkier iron....
Great Iron...especially for shorter length hair

I'm a guy and I've been using this iron carefully since two months and half now (never at max temperature, never twist the cable around the iron's beak, etc.) and I can say that even now, it works as well as two months ago.
This flat iron is amazing because I have really stubborn flipping dry hair (which drives me crazy) and before it can be tamed with an iron, it takes like 20 strikes (30-40 minutes) and I won't mention the frizzies.
With this flat iron, I heat it up (takes about 30 seconds) and in two strokes everywhere at 350 degrees, my hair has a shiny, healthy and naturally straight look (in about 5 minutes).
It does a creaking sound after a while when you manipulate the handle, but you pay 80 bucks for it, not 200 !! I think that the quality of this iron for the price is excellent ! I might consider buying another one if my first one lasts more than a year.
Love it!

This is the second "pro" flat iron I have. I love it. It doesn't pull hair and leave my hair shiny and healthy looking.
so far so good

question before buying

Before buying this, i wanted to know if the straightner burns your hair badly and leaves you with split ends if you dont use a protecting spray. The reviews make it sound great .. and my straightner now leaves me with burned hair even with a good protector.
my boyfriend loves it

I bought the Solia 3/4inch for my boyfriend who has long hair with lots of curl in it with he hates. His hair looks so good after he straightens it. He now wears his hair down and loose and loves it. It didn't take long for me to teach him how to use it.I love the fact that it heats up so fast. Not only does it straighten his hair but it does a good job of turning his ends under or up.

Being that I am an African American female with naturaly long hair pass shoulders. I find that certain products don't work well for us.(trail & error )
Nobody has the perfect hair w/o products that works best for their hair texture(s). With that said, I brought 2 verision of Solia the 1-3/4 & 3/4. Being my teenage daughter has real short hair under 8".the 3/4 works really well for her she feels more confident in herself with her looks. These products works well with heat protecting products I like Matrix & Dudley's (easy curling & waving) just a little while styling. The main reason I seeked out the Solia line, is b/c My hair dresser used
them in her salon so less trips to the salon..With same professional results. I do beleive we are our worst critics, in judging what works best for oneself. I feel in love with this WONDER.
Plus Folica Has excellent services with
customer care & Deliverance.

When i first got the straightener I thought it was too small and i was worried that with my frizzy and thick hair it would take forever. When I used it i realized that it was faster than the $30 straighteners. It takes at most 20 minutes to have it perfectly straight and my hair looks so glossy after, I love this straightener. Plus, it heats up in 30 seconds and you can adjust the temperature. It's worth it if you're worried about the price.
Great for relaxed/colored treated hair!

I confess, I am brutal with my hair- I relax AND color, blow dry AND flat iron. I was looking for a new flat iron that could get to the regrowth that happens in between touch-ups AND not snag my hair (which is why I tossed my old iron). This 3/4" flat iron gets it done! It's small enough to maneuver get the back (the kitchen) and the sides where it tends to get frizzy first. I find its so easy to bend, curl or flip my hair, although I love the "straight-bended" look the best. The Solia flat iron is light, heats up quickly and handles well. You MUST use heat iron spray to protect your ends! The best? No more frizzies! Yeah!
Folica has super fast shipment and you get a cute bag to put your investment in. You will not be dissapointed in this choice of flat irons.

I purchased this iron because I have thick curly hair that tends to be very dry. I already own a 2 inch iron and needed an iron that would grab my roots for simple touch ups. To my surprise, this iron not only grabbed my roots for straigtening touch ups but also curled the ends of my hair. I love that curl at the end of my hair. I did the flip at the end of my hair because the straight ends tend to make your hair look fake and flat and nobody no matter how much you take care of your ends can have perfect looking flat ends. A curl at the bottom makes your hair look healthy. ALSO! FOLICA IS THE BEST ON-LINE BEAUTY STORE. THEY HAVE EXTREMELY FAST DELIVERY! I have never had to return anything and I love the customer reviews. I hope this helps you.

This is the very best of flat irons. My hair looks so healthy and sliky and shiny. I learned to use it to curl the ends and it works like a charm. I threw out the curling iron. This works better. several of my friends asked my to come over and do their hair. All the guys at my health club have complimented how pretty I look with my long shiny locks. I purchased the BioSilk products to use with this Solia flat iron and I am all set. Thank you, Thank you. Suzie

Got this straightener for my daughter and she loves it. My other daughter has the more expensive Chi and this one is just as good. She loves the thin design as she can straighten her bangs and it works on her long hair also. Her hair is silky and straight in just minutes.
Worth It

Just like the larger Solia flat iron that I already have (1-3/4 inches, I believe), the smaller 3/4 inch flat iron is just as great. I recently cut bangs, and I wanted to be able to straighten my bangs with a slight inward curve. My new Solia flat iron is PERFECT for this. I love both Solia products and definitely recommend them, whether you have straight hair that you want to control more easily or curly hair (like myself) that you want to completely change.
Good Product!!

I originally bought the Sedu 1 inch and that worked GREAT!! I had to but the Solia because I have short hair that I am trying to grow out. On top I have about 3-4 inches of hair but on the sides and in the back it's SHORT!!!! At most 1 inch at the sides and very tapered in the back. I did not want to get the Wee CHI which is 1/2 in because I heard the unit was not durable so I got the Solia 3/4 instead. It does the job!! I can get the hair around my ears and at the back of my head much better than I could with the Sedu although I still Love my Sedu. I figure in another 3 months I will be able to use the Sedu all over my head so I have put away for now and use the Solia. Don't forget to moisturize your hair and use thermal products for your hair. Overall, a very good product. Now the hair around my ears and the back of my head area is a straight as the hair on top!!!
Solis 3/4 inch Flat Iron & Free Mat

I have short black hair and previously tried to use my kids flat iron which was at least 1 1/2 inches wide. I was not impressed as my hair came out kinky and it did not do a good job. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered the 3/4 inch Solis flat iron as it did just what the reviews said it would do. It heated quickly, it was easy to use, straightened and curled my hair, no kinky hair, and I have not had to use hairsprays or holding sprays to keep my hair looking good all day. My curling time has dropped by 1/2 the time. I am totally sold on the product. The free mat was a bonus, and does come in handy while curling your hair, and it is also convenient for travelling.
