MarkieLouisianaHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairThis Is Literally My Favorite Thing.I forgot to mention that my hair is naturally wavy and poofy and frizzy in the video, but anyway:
Pros:
2 year warranty - if you're clumsy like me, you'll probably need this.
Looks great! Much more stylish than other high-end straighteners.
Leaves hair super smooth.
Lasts through southern Louisiana humidity and keeps hair straight and silky all day.
A couple nifty features that I take for granted most of the time, like the heat settings, light that lets you know when it's heated up all the way, and all that good stuff.
Cons:
Not as durable as it looks. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't drop your Solia from any height. Mine was only a couple feet in the air and never turned on again. You'll be heartbroken the whole time you're waiting for it to come back to you - thank god for the warranty. This is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
Folica's costumer service is also wonderful - I highly suggest buying this product from this website.
I think that and the video I'm posting pretty much covers everything - Sorry I sound congested or something, the mic that came with my laptop is awful.posted Aug 10, 2011Link to this post -
Brittany K.Great StraightenerIt straightens hair really well! It make its really smooth and shiny also, but when i try curling it, it leaves kinks in. But maybe i just need to practice with it a little more. The shipping was really fast, i got it within three days and it had free shipping! Also this only cost me $54.99! I used the promotional code to get $25 dollars off so for whoever is thinking about buying one, make sure you use it!posted Aug 5, 2011Link to this post

LuciHairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairLove ItI used the Chi for many years, probably went through three or four of them, and ALWAYS had issues... they break, they don't get as hot after a while... just not well-made in general. This product was cheaper, and way better. I recently decided to switch to a different brand than the Chi and decided to purchase the Solia. I love it! It gets hot in about 30 seconds and works really well. Being able to control the heat setting is also great because certain parts of my hair don't need as much heat (like the bottom half versus the top half). I definitely recommend this product!posted Aug 4, 2011Link to this post

KikiHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairSo Much Better Than The Chi!!!!!!! :)Okay so i had the CHI for a little over a year and it worked great. But the problem was that my hair would get stuck in between the plates and would break and burn my hair:( And when i used the CHI my ends would get white and smell burned!!!! eww... oh and the CHI is horrible in humidity.. i mean any little sighn of bad weather and my hair would frizz like crazy..... And then all of a sudden stoped working!!!! I was so upset because this straightener was deff NOT cheap(around $$150) So i found the Solia and i read the reviews and i decided to buy it. Ohmigod i got it in 3 days and it is hands down the BEST straightener i have ever owned. It dosent snag on my hair AT ALL!! It makes my hair look and feel shiny and healthy and hair doesnt frizz AT ALL. And i can change the heat setting:) I mean i absolutley l-o-v-e the Solia!!!! <3 Sooooooo..... yeah i would 100% recomend this product!!!!!!!!!!posted Aug 3, 2011Link to this post

ChristaGaHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairYes This Flat Iron Works On African American Hair Too!I've been using a cheap conair flat iron from walmart for a while now, it snagged my hair and didn't straighten or curl well. I finally decided to go ahead and splurge on a good salon quality iron. After reading tons of reviews on this site as well as watching several youtube reviews I decided that this was the iron for me. I received my iron 2 days ago and I am very pleased with the results. Let me explain first off that I am black so my hair is already thick, curly, and takes a lot of heat to straighten. My hair is relaxed but I am transitioning back to natural and I wanted a flat iron that would get hot enough to straighten my new growth as well so my hair would look uniform until all of the relaxer grows out. I used this iron for the first time yesterday and it was amazing! The iron glides through my hair so easily and gets it super straight. My hair also has movement to it unlike with my cheap iron when it was straight but stiff. I'm sooo happy I finally invested in a decent flat iron. This flat iron also curls great, my mom used it today to curl her hair and it looked flippen amazing! Even better then using a curling iron! She said she's buying one once she gets her next paycheck!

SarahHairAuburnCurly HairThick or Coarse HairStands The Test Of TimeI have had this flat iron for 5 going on 6 years now and I use it almost every day. It works just as well now as the day I bought it, no exaggeration. I really like the construction, it is built much more solidly than a CHI, and has the grooves on the handle for improved grip. It has taken it's fair share of tumbles off my dresser over the years and has never broken. I have very curly, thick hair and I use my Solia on the highest setting. It works very well, and I'm quite picky as I've spent the better part of the last 10 years straightening my hair.
I read a few reviews that complained the Solia did not reduce the frizziness of their hair. Keep in mind frizzy hair has very little to do with your straightener (if you are using a quality ceramic product, save the fact that heat styling dries out your hair) and far more to do with the health of your hair. Your hair gets frizzy because it lacks moisture and draws it from the atmosphere.
I highly recommend this product. It is worth every penny and you will not be dissapointed!posted Jul 28, 2011Link to this post -
AnnieOregonHairMedium BrownNormal HairNot HappySo when I first got this iron it was straightening my hair pretty well but I noticed after a few months it wasn't doing as well as it used to. I decided to keep it and after 11 months it completely died on me, wouldn't turn on or heat up at all. Sorry just not satisfied with this flat iron at all.posted Jul 27, 2011Link to this post

LaurenIndianaHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairVery ImpressedI have naturally wavy hair and I need a new straightener that keep my hair stick straight all day. I purchased this straightener in pink. After straightening my hair, I was very pleased to see that it was impressively straight and remained that way all day. Also it made my hair very shinny and silky. The straightener itself is barely bigger than my previous flat iron (1inch) but it totally makes a difference. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
