ACaliforniaAwesome!!! Buy It!!!! :)So I Just Received My Straightener Today And I LOVE IT! I Have Really Curly Hair With Layers And The Solia Had No Problem Straightening It Out. It Heats Up FAST, Doesn't Pull Out My Hair, Doesn't Smell While On Or Leave Your Hair Smelling Gross Like Some Other Straighteners Do. My Hair Was Straight In Less Then 10 Minutes. Totally Worth The $85, (Got Mine In Pink.) Recommend It To Anyone With Any Hair Type! :)posted Aug 25, 2010Link to this post

ChrisGood Enough - For The Year It Lasted Anywayinitially was very pleased with this iron: my hair never caught on the plates, the heat settings were a major plus, and it did a great job making waves/curls; however, it didn't take long before my solia 1" started to fall apart - the swivel cord stopped rotating, plastic parts cracked and finally shorted out just a little over a year in. it's not like i was mistreating the thing or throwing it around, either. Solia's quality just isn't up to par. even with the 3 year warranty, i wouldn't purchase again.posted Aug 24, 2010Link to this post

CindyHairDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairPrice Doesnt Always Mean Qualityi was very excited to get this flat iron, read so many great reviews and figured since it was in top 10 it had to be good. WRONG. i have medium length, thick, dry hair. when i tried out this flat iron the first time, i was disappointed immediately. it barely straightened, did not make the hair sleek whatsoever. it would not fully open up when releasing the hair, kept having to stick my finger in there to pry it open. once i finished my whole head my wrist ached and my hair was frizzy. i dont have unmanageable curls or anything like that, but my hair looked like a big dry disaster. i even used a CHI straightening product before straightening, but that didnt help. I returned the product immediately and got my 90 bucks back.posted Aug 24, 2010Link to this post

Kylee ..CanadaHairBlackThick or Coarse HairYiks!Sorry Solia, you are not good.
I did my research, Read every review, Compaired (because buying a chi / sedu would have been the same cost or cheaper ), Watched Youtube videos & read reviews on google.. ended up going with this.. in pink.
I have / had - 2 cricket flatirons, 2 babyliss and a Bedhead flatiron. I dyed my hair from black to blonde and it was SO damaged, and much shorter - so I was looking for 1 inch, had adjustable heat settings, tourmaline and "better" ( if thats possible) for your hair flatiron. My hair is thick & wavy. Most "professional" drugstore flatirons do the job - But the Crickets/Babyliss do way better exept were not tourmaline and were not good for my hair.
Bought this flat iron in Sept 09. It cost over 100$ canadian. Plus 30$+ shipping ( if I paid for the less shipping it would take over a month to get here ) plus the delivery guy needed 11$ customs at the door? So this iron cost me close to 150$.
To sum it up :
Pros : cute colors, has adjustable heat settings, swivel plates, Fast heat up.
Cons : had to use highest heat setting to get hair kind of straight, needed 2 passes through, made my hair DULL vs. shiney, made it feel dry and horrible, SNAGGED.. and broke after 11 months of use and only 1-2 times per week.
I ended up going back and using my cheap drugstore bedhead flatiron ( thats 2 inches) vs. this one to straighten my hair. Only used this one for curling ,flip styles and fast heat up to fix a piece of hair/ bangs. I even tried it a few months ago when my hair is black again and much heathier.. and still got snaggy, frizzy & dull results. I put the iron down to answer the door, came back and it was broke - wouldn't heat up nothing!
Folica has a great replacement policy, but it would cost me 30$ fee for a replacement plus cost of shipping with ups. So 50$ for something I hate. No Thanks! I am getting a GHD or CHI for my birthday in a month from folica.com as it's not the folica - its just a bad bad flatiron for what it cost me.posted Aug 22, 2010Link to this post -
Yooooo (.South CarolinaShine,sleek,amazing. Not Well In Humidity.I bought this thinking this was going to be THEE ULTIMATE flat iron.
So, I tried. I thinned my hair in feburary with one of my hair razor's, and over the months it got more coarse. I had watched video's of people using this iron as well, so I figured wow this must be amazing (:
The plate's have never grabbed one strand of my hair, it goes sleek and slides right through. You do have to go over the strand two times, but it does work. It doesn't add shine to your hair after the first time you use it.. that's for sure. If you don't have VERY healthy hair , or it's the slightest oily , it's HARD to straighten your hair with it.
As for the extreme HUMIDITY (emphasis that so people see it), it won't even keep my hair straight in my own house.
So: I picked up a quick garnier fructis humidity milks thing serum for 3 dollars at walmart.
Helped 40% more. But I recomend lots of hairspray, or getting a perm of some sort..
(That's only in the slightest bit of humidity)
The straightener get's dirty real quick. Real quick.
So I have to clean it everyday.
My hair used to take a half hour to straighten, it now takes 10-20 minutes.
45% more quicker than usual.
Outside the plates, doesn't get so hot even on 400 so I can hold it down.
Easy to use, good straightener.
My only problem is that it won't keep my hair straight with any product I use.
but it WILL keep the frizz down for my hair type.
Overall, good but needs to work on working with humidity, I like in south carolina not alaska.posted Aug 22, 2010Link to this post -
DaniellaUnited StatesHairDark BrownOily HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairI'm In LoveI'm absolutely obsessed! It straightens so fast, it feels healthy, my hair doesn't get caught and pulled out, it's cheap, and it leaves my hair shiny and really straight! I love it so much, I recommend this to anyone. I have really curly and thin hair, so it's pretty delicate but I felt so safe using the Solia. It's really one of a kind.posted Aug 22, 2010Link to this post

JesseMissouriHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBest Product!So I was doing research about straighteners because I had been using my sister's CHI which she SWEARS by, so I was just gonna get that! But then I came across this which was cheaper and WAY better! So when it came in the mail I was SO excited! It cuts my straightening time in half and makes it less poofy and way less frizzy. I HIGHLY recommend this to ANYONE!

Tilok M.IndoreHairPlatinum BlondeNormal HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairPlease Use It Bec'z It's BestThis is one of five straighteners I have tried on my hair. It works and keeps it straight thru almost anything. Be careful if you leave it on and have delicate hair. It gets hot and there is no settings to lower it to. I use it right once it turns on and then turn it off.
