Ankita K.ArizonaHairBlackNormal HairGosh, The Splitends!!So, I had 3 inches cut off my hair and this was the first iron I used on it. Meaning, I had no split ends at all prior to using this iron. I was excited because lots of people said they had no split ends using this. However, just after the first use, I found lots of split ends. :( And yes, I did use heat protectant. Used biosilk and Got2b Crazy Sleek Hot Smooth Flat Iron & Blow Dry Lotion. I loved how straight and shiny my hair got after using the straightener, but I give it 3 stars because of the split ends I got!

Alicia I.MontanaHairMedium BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairA Must Have!I absolutely love my new flat iron. I have thick nasty wavy hair that must be flat ironed on a daily basis. Since my hair has been getting so dried out my stylist recommended switching my flat iron to one that is ion based. After much reviewing I decided to give the Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion a try. I have had it for a few weeks now and absolutely love it! It not only heats up super fast but does not dry my hair out. My hair looks and feels healthier already. I definately recommend this to anyone who is looking.posted Nov 16, 2010Link to this post

Joi L.NYC, NYHairDark BrownCurly HairStop Looking, This Is The OneI absolutely love this flat iron!
Professional quality for an affordable price. I had purchased my first solia in 2005, and after 5 years of faithful service, it started to turn off and on erraticly. That is the only thing about this tool that was dissappointing. However, 5 years out of any hair tool is pretty good I must say. I am of a mixed racial backround and have a thick curly mane. It heats up really quickly and gets the job done in record time
I highly recomend this product!!!posted Nov 15, 2010Link to this post -
Steph W.HairBlackOily HairCurly HairOne Happy CostumerI've been wanting to purchase a new set of flat irons since the one I had is really crap (Vidal Sassoon wet and dry) and had to throw it away. I went and researched and compared a lot of flat irons and found this one to be the best option for me in terms of reviews and price.I bought this Solia in red and here is my review
Shipping:
Bought this flat iron from Folica on Oct 29 (Friday) and despite their claim of shipping within 0-1 MF, mine didn't ship until Nov 4 (Thurs) and that was only after I e-mailed them. I got the item about a week later since I live outside US.
Pros:
- You might have read all the rave reviews for this flat irons and I could tell you that this iron really lived up to that expectation. I used mine as soon as I received it and the result was incredible, left my hair feeling smooth and very straight.
- It heats up in seconds and when i say seconds It means literally about 3-5 seconds. Its that quick! I was counting the second time I used it and again it heats up in the same amount of time.
- I have a wavy and pretty thick hair and this iron straighten it in just one swipe (370 degrees setting).
- Did not snag or burn my hair
- I did not find the iron to be too hot when using or should I say I never find it that hot at all. I used it for about 15 mins for my whole head and it never get so hot that I couldn't touch it w/o mitts.
- So far my straight hair lasted for 3 days. I'm pretty sure it could last as long as you want til you wash it but I just cant stand not washing my hair after 3 days.
Cons:
- I don't know if its supposed to be the design or not but for the ones I got, the plates are not touching evenly. It only touches on one end and then opens up. I'm confused since I saw some people that have the exact same problem as mine and others that don't. It can touch evenly when I give it little pressure but in some cases it doesn't have to be that way and can close tightly with no pressure at all. But it still delivers the result and returning is not an option since I live outside the US therefore the shipping is pretty costly.
There's really only one negative compared to all the positive this flat iron has but that problem 'touching only on one end' thing kinda bothers me. Nevertheless as I said before it still delivers the result. Hope this review could help you making your decision.

Sara S.Brooklyn, NYHairBlackColor Treated HairFine or Thin Hair..more Than Pretty In Pink After All.I used this straightener today (despite the fact it was a gift for my sister), and I must say, it is an excellent straightener. I will be purchasing one for myself shortly.posted Nov 14, 2010Link to this post

Jessica D.LA, CAWarning: This Is Dangerous.I got this straightener about 2 years ago, and I had never had a problem with it, and I liked it. The past 6 months though, the straightener got VERY hot whenever I used it. This morning when using it, the area with the power switch on it sparked and appeared to go on fire and then started smoking. I obviously freaked out and unplugged it and put it outside. The whole house smelled like something was on fire. I am aware that this can happen with all flat irons, but I have never experienced something basically going on fire in my hands. And I have had many straighteners in the past. Please look at all of the reviews when deciding to buy this product. It is worth getting a more expenses flat iron (like the Sedu which I plan on purchasing when I finish this review).posted Nov 13, 2010Link to this post
