I have very long and curly hair, and I could never find a straighter that I liked, worked and kept my hair straight for more than a couple hours. This straightner is the best one I've ever seen. It steams when its on my hair and leaves it really soft, (people are always touching my hair when I straighten it)and it stays straight all day. I'm so glad I bought this- it was definitely worth it.
The Best Flat Iron Ever!

I am African American and my hair is totally naturally, no relaxer and no other type of chemicals. I went from an afro to beautifully straightened hair. People at school actually thought that I relaxed my hair. The Solia is perfect for very short, course hair. My hair is about 4 inches long and the Solia made it very easy to flat iron. The flat iron is easy to use and it heats up super fast. The shipping was fast, I got my order in two days. I highly recommend this product!!!
Excellent overall

Straightens everything in the first try from babyhairs to thick curls. I recommend this product.

This is my good hair straightener! I love it! I really like that it only takes 30 seconds to heat up. I tried to do the wet to dry thing, but it doesn't work for me. Other than that, my hair is always silky and smooth with this product.
Good for Curly Hair!

I have really curly hair, and my curls are really close to my scalp, and this straightening iron gets REALLY close to my scalp to get those curls as well - it doesn't pull hair either. You can flip it out, curl it under, or iron it pin straight! :-D It's wonderful!
i love my flat iron.

i am so glad that i brought this flat iron. you plug it in, you turn it on, adjust the many heat settings that it has, and within seconds it's at the temperature you need it to be. i recently cut my hair into a short bob and my old flat iron couldn't do the job. but, the solia flat iron @ 3/4" works wonders. it smoothes and leaves my hair feeling and looking great. i have a really busy schedule and the solia flat iron keeps my hair straight well into the next week.
Great for styling!!

I had a chi straightener before, but because I have short layered hair, I wanted something for styling and the Chi didnt cut it. The 3/4 inch straightenr is really easy to use for styling and straightening even if your hair is wet. It gets really hot really quickly- probably in about 30 seconds. I love it and it is definitely worth the money, plus the free shipping!!
i didnt like it at all...

i bought this straightener, and the shipping was good and everything. when i saw it on my porch i went inside and opened it and tested it. My hair was already straight because i straightened it that morning, but i didnt see a significant difference like i had expected. The next day, i tried using it again, it took me probably 45-50 minutes to straighten my hair, and my bangs were fryed. How staight my hair was after that use was just as straight as my hair is when i spend 20 minutes with my 2-year-old hot tools straightner. Tomorrow i am mailing this one back, and im probably going to order the chi, my hair dresser recommended it. For anyone looking for a good straightner, i would definitly not recommend this one.
Great product!

Originally, I had bought the 1 3/4" Solia straightener, but I returned it because it was too heavy to use for 1 1/2 hours on my waist-length hair. Even though this smaller 3/4" flat iron is suggested for shorter hair, I use it.
The iron heats very quickly (this is how you know it is truly ceramic). My hair feels smooth and silky after I use this flat iron. What else can I say? I love it! :)

this flat iron possessed all the things i was looking for: a plate with as small width for my short hair, ion technology for a shinier result and wet/dry capability for when i'm on the run and don't have time to blow dry my hair before using the flat iron. it heats up right away and the swivel end for the cord makes it easy to move it around when i'm working on my hair... thank you!

First, most posts on here are from women, so guys... here's a post for you. I have hair short to medium length hair (about 2-2.5 inches long) and this thing works perfectly. I use it when my hair is just a little damp, don't have a lot of water in your hair cause it'll burn the hell out your scalp. The thing gets hott, and quick! Within 30 seconds it's ready to go. If you go slow you can get each section straight in one pull, but i do multiple swipes and it takes me about 4 minutes to do my whole head. Just gotta say, this is the best flat iron for guys with shorter hair. I'm thinking about buying another one just in case they discontinue the 3/4" model. You won't be disappointed.
YOU'VE GOTTA OWN ONE OF THESE!!!

I've been using a CHI for about seven years and the Solia has put my CHI into early retirement!!! I love it...it makes my hair feel great....silky, shiny, and above all...HEALTHY...I'm of Hispanic/African American heritage and it makes my hair look absolutely gorgeous!!! I highly reccommend this to EVERYONE!!!
Decent Product

For my first flat iron this is a decent product. Much better then the Conair I first bought, which did nothing for my fine short hair. I would recommend to others...
Great Value

I have heard from several friends that they paid half as much for a ceramic "coated" iron and one friend that paid $150 for the iron like I have. Works exactly as described, takes practice getting the curl just right but very easy for straight styles.
Will purchase larger one when my hair grows out more.
Excellent straightening iron for short hair

This iron is great for short hair. I used to have a Chi before this one without temperature adjustment. This one works much better and I don't have split ends anymore due to the lower temperatures.
Would buy it again.
I love it!

I recently had my hair cut short and needed a flat iron in a hurry! I have used a Hot Tools flat iron in the past and was not impressed. My stylist recommended a Chi, but after reading reviews I decided on the Solia.
I received it super-fast and I love it. It heats up amazingly fast, is very easy to use with the long swivel cord and I don't burn my self because the outer parts do not get hot. I would highly recommend this product!
Great!

I like it a lot. I've only used it 3 or so times, but the results have been great. I have short to medium length hair and it has worked well. It also heats up fast and I only need to run it once or twice through my hair to get it straight. Highly recommended!
Brilliant

I have hair past my shoulders but I opted for the mini size because of portability and greater control. My hair is very fine and wavy, and with my $15 Conair it took me about fifteen minutes to straighten it. With this Solia I'm finished in about three minutes, without blow drying first (i.e., letting my hair dry naturally). It heats up incredibly fast and is really lightweight. Before I tried it out, I was under the impression that this iron would work miracles, as in just a once-over and my hair would be stick-straight. I find that sometimes I do have to concentrate on certain curly bits but I think my expectations were too high. However, it's well worth the money and I wouldn't dream of going back to my Conair.

i was very happy to see how well it worked. My only complaint is that my hair is a little thickeer and in really humid days i have to run it through my hair again. Other than that, it works well! I love the size it gets right up to your roots! and keeps hair soft and shiny!
