MariahFloridaHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairBest Flat Iron Ever!!!I LOVE THIS FLAT IRON! Ive had it for almost 3 years. My first one broke but Folica honored the 2 year warranty and sent me out a brand new one :) I went through chi's for years before I discovered solia and wish I had known about them sooner. I can straighten my hair with the Solia and go out into the Florida humidity all day and my hair stays straight, frizz free, shiny and beautiful ALL DAY AND NIGHT!!!posted Oct 12, 2012Link to this post

AdrienneHairMedium BrownGreat Iron, But Broke After 5 YearsThis iron worked great for 5 years. I have fluffy frizzy hair and the iron left it shiny and beautiful. Then one day I heard a pop in the iron while using it, and it stopped working. My boyfriend took it apart and found that the electric cord swivel contact had failed. The area was black and burnt. My boyfriend said the solder connection probably came loose causing arcing and intense heat. What a shame. I guess that was the weakest link. I hope Solia can improve the way that connection is built.posted Oct 9, 2012Link to this post

RosalynSan Antonio, TexasHairMedium BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairI Was Let Down.I am African-American and I live in a humid environment. My hair is natural (no perm). Every time I straightened my hair and walked out of my door, my hair became frizzy and thick.
I tried this flat iron for about a month in this humid heat, and also in dry heat in Dallas and my hair never stayed straight.
My hair still looked nice (because big hair in Texas is in) but again, never stayed straight.
I bought another flat iron called Amika and my hair has not soaked up the water in the air, it's straight!
With natural Afro textured loose curly thin hair, I would not recommend, mainly in a humid environment.posted Oct 8, 2012Link to this post -
AlexandriaRhode IslandHairDark BrownCurly HairAfter Couple Years, This Straightener Does Not Work The Same.I bought the Solia about two and a half years ago. When i first bought this straightener, it worked great. But after two years, the straightener didn't work as well. If you want a long term straightener, i would not suggest this straightener. I am about to get the GHD straightener now because i know those straighteners have longevity. So if you are willing to invest more money in a straightener, i would highly recommend the GHD because you will have it much longer than the Solia. however, if the Solia is compared to the CHI, i would pick the Solia over the CHI. I hope this helped!!posted Oct 8, 2012Link to this post

CourtneyUnited StatesHairMedium BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairSuch An Amazing Upgrade. In Love.I expected the straightener to be good... but not THIS good. I seriously LOVE this thing. It's so fun to use and it gets hot really fast. I love the temperature wheel on it. OH! And the cord is really long, which is really nice. I think my favorite thing about it is that it does not pinch or pull of the ends of my hair. I love this straightener and I will probably keep buying Solia. Much worth the money.posted Oct 7, 2012Link to this post

MarthaUnited StatesHairAuburnColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNot The Best ChoiceI bought this flat iron after going through several Sedu irons. I loved how my hair looked with a Sedu, but after a while, the iron would stop working as well and sometimes died.
I liked that the Solia was cheaper, and the reviews made it seem like it would work as well or better. Unfortunately, even brand new, it did not flatten my hair as well as the Sedu. I have lots of very thick hair, and the Solia brand new worked about the same as a Sedu after a year or two.
About six months after I got it, it stopped working completely. It won't power on at all. I thought about looking into the warranty option, but honestly I'm glad for the excuse to go back to Sedu.posted Oct 6, 2012Link to this post -

HillaryHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing Flat Iron!!This is hands down the best flat iron I have ever owned! I have very thick and curly hair that I usually treat with a Keratain treatment every 6 months. I am long overdue for my next treatment, but with this flat iron you would never know. It gets my hair pin straight in two passes and stays straight for days. You will not regret buying this!!posted Oct 4, 2012Link to this post

Mrs. FastOregonHairBlackNormal HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairSolia Vs. Chi AirI have thick, high-volume, somewhat wavy hair with a lot of frizz, so I wanted a flat iron to straighten my hair and make it look shinny. I was unable to afford anything over $100-, so when I found the CHI Air Tourmaline Flat Iron 1â?? for $79.99, I decided to give it a try. CHI Air made my hair straight and look shinny on the first styling in the morning, but by the time I came home from work , my hair already started to look dull, dry and not so straight.
When I read the Soliaâ??s reviews, I noticed that many people mentioned how shinny Solia made their hair look. So I decided to take a chance. (plus It was $25 off at the time) I was so glad I did and very happy with the 1-1/4â?? plate! It is a lot easier to straighten my hair with this wider plate and it keeps my hair shinny and straight though out the day and even next few days!! My hair stayed straight, soft and shinny. I love Solia so much because it is so affordable yet it's high quality. I compared Solia and CHI Air, and the result on the first day was TIE. But after the 1st day, the result that Solia brought was waaaaay better than CHI. I returned the CHI next day. (Plus, the free pouch that came from Folica was A LOT better than the one came with CHI Air!)
I also use argan oil to reduce damage and tame my hair better. I don't think there is a "damage-free" flat iron. As gentle as Solia may be, I think it is still better to use some heat-protection.
I suppose I should expect this product to stop working around 2 year mark since many seem to have issues around that time. Some people sounded like they were unaware of the fact that the replacements normally don't come with the warranty, so you should expect that nothing beyond 2 years is covered. Over all, I still think this is a very nice product for the price!! (It's been 6 months and so far so good!!)
(Just for the reference, Solia is made in Korea and CHI Air is made in China.)
