Really A Great Flat Iron!I've had this flat iron for about 10 months and I'm just now leaving a review because I wanted to wait so I could see how it really worked. I didn't think it would be right to write a review after only a few weeks. So here goes, I am African American and when I got the flat iron I had relaxed hair and have since gone natural. My hair is medium coarse and very soft. This flat iron straightened my hair well when it was relaxed and now even that I went natural it still does a great job. I like how it makes my hair shine. The blue plates have not faded in color at all. I do have to set at least above 375-400 though to get the shine. Also I do sometimes get that burnt hair smell, but I think that's usually when I'm either using my cream heat protection so my hair is a little damp and I also think it does that when the plates need to be cleaned. Other than that I love this flat iron and will be soon buying the 1 1/4in and I will be getting one for my mom who has natural hair also. Hope this info was helpful for those looking for a great flat iron.posted Last weekLink to this post -

Not ReliableI bought this flat iron three years ago and it worked well for two years, before it stopped heating up. Because it was still under warranty, I replaced it. Now, after only ten months, it stopped turning on...again. While this straightener does work well for very curly hair, it does not last long enough to be worth the money.posted Jan 9, 2012Link to this post -

Excellent!I am African American and I have natural hair (no perm, no dyes). I rarely straighten my hair but when I do this is what I use. I purchased the solia 1" iron about 2-3 years ago and I love it. I have used it on friends' hair who have Chi irons and other really ridiculously expensive flat irons and its been the consensus that this iron is better. I use it with a glosser and part my hair into thin sections.posted Jan 7, 2012Link to this post -

Did Something Change?I got a Solia straightener 6 years ago, and used it everyday for 4 years. One day, it stopped working, but I wasn't too upset since it'd been working perfectly for so long, and immediately ordered another one. Why mess with tried and true? The first time I used the new one, I noticed it tugged at the ends of my hair, which the first one didn't do. I figured it was just a fluke in the manufacturing, and just got a brand new one for Christmas. Not only does this one also tug, the handle gets extremely hot and I can only hold it for a few minutes at a time. Needless to say, it's pretty disappointing. I'd like to say this is still just another problem with the manufacturing. I'm not sure if they changed anything, but I think I may need to find a new brand.posted Dec 25, 2011Link to this post -

Great Flat IronThis iron is very nice. It is lightweight, but not at all cheap or flimsy. It has worked very well for me for two years. I dropped it one time too many and broke it which was very disappointing. I ended up replacing it with a Sedu Revolution iron instead, and also really like it. At the time I was buying, there was a great deal on the Sedu and since it also has great reviews, I went with that. Both are very good. The Solia iron is a bit lighter in weight which might make a difference for some people. Both have very smooth plates, no catching or pulling the hair. Really the main issue is weight and price.posted Dec 19, 2011Link to this post

Great Temp Range And Hair Looks Lovely!I am new to flat ironing and did quite a bit of reading on here before I bought this one. I have super-fine hair, so I really needed something with lower temperatures. This one starts at 140 degrees, which I wanted to experiment with first before going up (I will probably never go past 200). My goal is not to get pin-straight hair. I just want to get rid of the waviness in my hair from time to time, so this one met my needs at a lower temperature. I am still experimenting with different techniques of flat ironing right now, but so far, I am happy with the results. I get straightness and shine (not like in the Pantene commercials, but I'm sure they have lots of other products in their hair at that point.) It is pretty easy to use and I am being mindful about using heat protectant since super-fine hair will show dryness and brittleness much more quickly than normal hair.posted Dec 4, 2011Link to this post

Love SoliaThis is my second flat iron by Solia and the first is still working (8 years now) but I dropped it on a ceramic tile floor and one of the plates poped up. These are the best flat irons. They heat up quick and straighten my hair with one pass. I have medium thick wavy hair and live in Florida - HUMIDITY!!....My hair stays straight with no frizz. I would highly recommend these flat irons to anyone looking for a great product that really works. They are reasonably priced compared to others on TV and in the mall and I think they work 100 times better. I will continue to purchase Solia for my daughters and myself.posted Nov 28, 2011Link to this post

Bye Bye, Bangs.I loved this flat iron... until it fell apart on me. I've had this iron for a few years, and I didn't use it very regularly. Today, I was straightening my bangs (pretty much all I use it for), and all of a sudden one of the plates fell out! What was the outcome, you ask? It burnt off half my bangs. As in, it SINGED my hair. It fell out in clumps, and even after treating, showering, and treating again, my bangs reek of burnt hair and they're wiry. Mind you, I did not drop the iron, nor did I use it much at all. I looked at it, and lo and behold, the GLUE holding the plates to the iron had melted. Now, isn't the point in a flat iron to get hot? Why would you not use a more heat-resistant measure to hold the plates to the iron? I would have recommended this iron before, but now that I have no hair and a burnt forehead, I'm going with a big N-O.posted Nov 27, 2011Link to this post -

This Keeps Shutting OffThis must be a bad batch that you got really cheap. I have had this flat iron before and it lasted a respectable 3 years. This one is already bad. It shuts off once it has heated up and won't come back on. Not really much of a deal considering its uselessness. Wish I had save the return packaging.posted Nov 14, 2011Link to this post
