Good product

This Product works just as it says. I'm not one who is skilled at styling my relaxed hair and that is why I am at the hair salon every week. Lat week, I had a hair disaster in between visits and did not want to go back to the salon and pay another $40.00 plus tip. My hair gets bushy when I wash it by myself..Thank God for my ceramic iron, it helped tame my hair and I was able to straightened my hair without it getting dry and burn, which is the results of my other flat iron ( used that one once without getting the desired result). The only thing is figuring out how to use it to curl my ends, I had to go use a curling iron afterwards to do that.
I recommend it
Works awesome

I have invested in 2 Solia flat irons. One short one for my pixie cut and a bigger one for my daughts long hair. We both have perms. and I loved the finish and my styles last.
What a difference one product can make

I had been looking at this particular flat iron for some time & read over ALL of the reviews before deciding to make my purchase. I must say that I am very pleased with my purchase as well as the results of my thick, coarse hair. I previously owned a Conair Ceramic 3/4 inch flat iron & I'll have to say that this iron works so much better & my hair has the most beautiful shine to it, one that is otherwise seen when I leave my hairdresser (the conair didn't do that & I use the same product (biosilk silk therapy) with both irons). I would definitely recommend this product to others. *Especially since it held up to the southern heat in New Orleans, LA. : )
go for it!

I tried this product and wow! It really is great . My hair couldn't hold a curl for my dance recital and I used the 3/4" solia and it staded all through the dance review which was about 5 hours long . I just love this product it will work for anyone .

The Solia 3/4" was just the right size for my 5" length of hair. It heated withing seconds and was easy to handle. The temperature control was also a great feature. Solia heats to about 450 degrees. I also liked the blinking light that let you know when it was ready for use. Unfortunately, I experienced the same difficulty that I have when hot combing my hair. The ends just don't straighten. I found that the Solia did not really close tightly over my hair as I moved down from the scalp to the ends. Perhaps this is because my hair is fine. My 4a/4b hair straigthens fine from the root to the ends and then you get flattened, dry, curls. Impossible to pull a comb through the mess.
I thought maybe changing the hair products I used would change the results but still the same sad ends. Also my hair changed back within minutes although I must say it has been very humid where I live.
I recommend the Solia to anyone without 4a or 4b hair. But from other reviews I have read 4b hair is very difficult to straighten without relaxed hair, which my experience has shown.
By the way for all those who recommend trimming my ends, just want to say I could trim my ends till dooms day and still won't get straight ends without lots of damage.
The best flat iron I've ever used!

This iron gets very hot, and it straitens my hair quicker than others I've tried. I have kinky-curly hair, and I am growing out a relaxer so I wanted to find a flat iron that is hot enough to straiten black hair. I found that when I blow dry my hair first I get the best results. I like the 3/4" size for around the hair line. I am better able to straiten those areas with the size. The only problem I have with this iron is the design. I find that my hair catches. I also own the sedu iron, and I like it's flat design better. The only issue I have with the sedu iron is that it doesn't get as hot as this one, so it doesn't leave my roots as strait. Overall, it does a great job, and straitens my hair much faster because of its high heat.
Pleased with Purchase

I originally bought this iron for a friend. After she told me how well it worked for her, I decided to purchase one for myself and I must agree with her. This iron heats up very quickly, lighter in weight than previous irons I have owned, and leaves hair very soft (my hair is naturally dry and coarse). My friend has owned her iron for about 8 months now and she says it continues to deliver great results.

this is the best product ever!-im glad i chose it. it straightens my hair fast and since i got the 3/4 inch model, it was more easier to apply it from the roots to the tips. also my hair remains straight for 2-3 days!i think it will remain straight for the whole week but then i cant stand not shampooing my hair for 2 days!thanks folica for the reviews cause it guided to choose the best .

I LOVE MY STRAIGHTNER I'VE TRIED ONES FROM OTHER STORES AND IT WOULD NOT GET MY HAIR AS STRAIGHT AS I WANTED BUT THE SOLIA DOES THAT AND IT ONLY TAKES 10 MINS. TO DO IT AND OTHERS I'VE TRIED WOULD TAKE A HOUR.

i used to oown a gold plated ceramic iron from sally's, the plating came off and it burned my hair.
This iron is SO incredibly different form the start. I have african american hair and it is coarse, so I didn't know my hair could go through an iron so smoothly. And finally no frizz even on rainy days. Never leaving home without this!I learned to flip and curl my short hair, without any split ends. My stylist was wondering what I'd been doing to always have split ends, now I know what the problem was--cheap iron-trashed...solia-rock on!
Better than Sedu!

I bought BOTH the Sedu AND the Solia. I found the Solia was about the same if not better. It is ALOT cheaper so there is no need to waste your time or money on the Sedu. Go with the Solia! I just wish someone had told me this before I splurged on the Sedu!
Great little straightener

I bought this product after reading the glowing reviews, and have not been disappointed. Now I actually look forward to straightening my hair, and am impressed with how quick and easy it is. It heats up while I put on my moisturizer in the morning.
I have short, coarse, wavy hair, and after using my Solia, my hair looks and feels great. This is my first ceramic straightener, and I can't imagine buying another one.
The only thing I will say it that I was slightly surprised how small it is, but for short hair, it is perfect. If I had shoulder-length hair, I would want a larger one. Also, I travel a lot, and this size is easy to take with me where ever I go.
Last thing, because I am on the west coast, it took just under week to get to me. But Folica have been very efficient, and I had a positive experience buying from them.
Good luck!
Awesome

I saw the reviews about this product and instantly fell in love with it. It does every thing a CHI does, except break. I never had one but i had several friends whose did and one of the girls went through five before getting a thirty dollar one, which she says works the same. But this product is great, a larger plate would have been faster but i wanted the size so i could finally do something with my bangs which i cut myself, so this iron was my savior. It also curls and the curls are gorgeous and the last!!! The straightening part is amazing. It doesnt frizz, i mean i tuck my hair behind my ears so that lost its straightness but thats a givin. And my hair is siky smooth, i dont use product, unless pert plus 2 in 1 counts. I do hair spray with regular suave when im curling but other than that, nothing!!!! This is really great, my mom has Anne hair and i got it super duper straight and gorgeous. Buy this iron, if you have shoulder length hair and bangs that you didnt mess up, then you might want to get a bigger size, but for time, not quality.
Glad I bought it but not impressed

Upon reading the glowing reviews of this product, I bought it, needing an upgrade from my old straightener. I loved the fact that, with my thin, shortish hair, it is very thin.
I also like the fact that because it is thin, it can double up as somewhat of a curler. The product boasts that it has a swivel cord. However, the wires still get twisted very easily and I constantly find myself untwisting them.
This product does NOT curl your hair into ringlettes like it says that it does, but it can curl the ends of your hair inwards and outwards, which is a cute touch.
All in all, for what I paid, I am not impressed. It does it's job with an added bonus but its not that incredible.
Wonderful magic wand-flat iron style!

"This is the best ceramic wet to dry hair iron ever, it's like a wonderful magic wand-flat iron style!",says my girlfriend! She has really beautiful very long wavy hair, but sometimes likes the straight look. I got it as a gift for her, because I know she likes to try new products. I have to keep my gal looking her best, although she is beautiful regardless! I know she will want something else from here, because she's visited the site since she got her Solia.
Hi, I'm the girlfriend he's referring to. My hair is extra silky and extra straight. I naturally have manageable hair, althouth it is wavy. It's not unruly at all, but I've never had straight hair results like this. My hair has been straight ever since I got my Solia. Also, I'm a swimmer and like to go on vacation. My Solia will have me back to straight in one step. I like the slim plates, because they seem to be more attentive to each strand of hair and I can have a firm grip on my hair without ripping it out, like some of the larger plates when I grip and slide them down a section of my hair. I have waist length hair and I still can finish my hair in less than 50 minutes. Also, I can do it my self by flipping my hair over and straightening without getting burned. The protective construcion grip covering of the Solia plates is magnificent. Girls and Guys, if you want to be straight and can't wait, get the Solia wet to dry! Folica,Inc., thanks for having such professional products that give professional results.

I like this iron, but I can't give it a full review yet. My hair is still too short to use this iron fully. The part I could use curled nicely, so when it grows longer, I'll post another review. I give it 3 stars for now, with a potential for more when my hair gets longer.
Well Worth the Money!!

I have short thick hair and have tried several different irons all were to big making styling difficult. This iron is the perfect size!! It heats up in seconds and straightens wonderfully. If you have short hair and are looking for an iron this is the one for you!!

I was little skeptical of ordering a straightner online but Folica was great. I received the order quickly and the product is very high quality. I have thick wavy hair and this straightner works great! The small plates make it really easy to start straightening right at my roots. I've used other straightners and I've never been able to get my hair this straight or shiny.
