Liked It Better Than The Sedu
Best straightener I have ever used. My hair is very curly and very long (almost to my elbows) and it only takes me about 20-25 minutes to do my hair now :) It used to take me like 45 minutes. I was debating on this or the sedu (my friend has one) and I like mine better. They both straighten quickly but the sedu just seemed cheap when I held it... Solia brings out the shine in your hair and you barely ever have to repeat stokes in your hair. Best flat iron ever and its only $90. WELL WORTH IT!

Love Itttt
I have tried 5 different flat irons until my last one broke 2 weeks ago i purchased this one. This is by far the best flat iron i have ever bought. I have dry, frizzy,kind of thick hair and its a little bit longer then shoulder length and this new flat iron made my hair SOFT and even kept it from getting staticy. I have been trough 3 chi flat irons an ION and two i bought at target also one pink one i tried at the mall i think it is a corliss or something but none of them have worked as well as this one!!!! attached are pictures taken today the day i receieved my new flat iron in the mail. Also my little sister loves the mini one i got for free with my order. this is not a fake review i am a real person. BUY IT i LOVE IT. also it cuts doing my hair time in half now it takes me like 5 minutes to do my hair!!!

I Sent It Back
After my CHI died (after 7 years of use!) I thought I'd try the Solia because it seemed like a better iron. I went with the larger plates because of my long length (mid back). Once I received it, sorry but I was totally dissatisfied. For one thing, it feels really heavy. Now maybe that's just because it's got the larger plates, but it was unwieldy. Additionally, you can't get anywhere near your roots because it's so bulky. I don't know about anyone else, but my hair kinks a lot close to the roots, so having an iron that can't accommodate that is a waste. Lastly, I didn't feel the "slip" was very good. It didn't glide through the hair smoothly, I definitely felt tugging as I used it. I gave it a full week and used it about 4 times, but I just liked it less and less. Sent it back.

Buy It!!! It's The Best!!!
This is the best flat iron I have used in my life. Before I purchase this amazing product, I was struggling with my hair because of the frizz, thick, long hair and It it took me like an hour to style my hair and it didn't last it would get really wavy in about 1 or 2 hours. But know it's when I use SOLIA FLAT IRON, my hair last all day flat and easy to handle, it's soft, silky and beautiful. And I get comments in school like What did you do to your hair?, You hair looks amazing!!!and I was like I bought a new flat iron, the SOLIA FLAT IRON. This flat iron is worth it, I really recomend it, It's the BEST!!!!

Amazing!
Best straightener I have ever had - hands down. It straightens my hair in less than 20 minutes, and it looks shiny and great! I would definitely suggest the Solia to my friends!

Solia From Now On
Before I purchsed my solia I was using the chi flat iron and it would take me a little over an hour to straighten my hair. With the Solia, it took me about 25-30 minutes, VERY BIG time difference. Also, I noticed when I went outside my hair didn't frizz up at all. It usually frizzes up within an hour after straightening with the chi. I've tested my hair after straightening it with the Solia in humdity and even a little drizzling rain..my hair did NOT frizz up at all. I am truley amazed by the Solia. I will definately stick to the Solia from now on.

Love This Iron!
I have very thick curly long hair that frizzes out like a porcupines spines. I was very skeptic about buying an iron as I felt it would fry my hair . I researched a lot before getting this iron but it works wonders with my hair and my hair looks smooth and shiny by the end. I bought a 1 3/4' size iron with the tourmaline plates. Because of the super frizzy thick nature of my hair, i use the iron at the highest temperature (450 F). For friends of mine who have thinner hair, lower temperatures work great. I also like to flip my hair at the ends so that it doesnt look pin straight and its gets flipped decently well inspite of the large size of the plate. Also, an additional note, I am always careful to use a heat resistant product (Aveda Universal) along with this though coz the temperature is super high. Love this iron! its my new best friend. :)

Finally One That Works!
Some people use straighteners to tame waves and frizz in their already almost straight hair. They can buy those cheap ones we've all tried time and again. We, with our truly straightener worthy hair, end up here on folica.com trying to transform our curly/thick/coarse/frizzy hair into straight hair. Bottom line: We need something that works. The Solia iron is great. All I put in my hair was a heat protectant spray. No silk infusion or anything (although I think I could get it to look softer if I used that), but the iron itself did a fantastic job infusing the little moisture to be found in my hair. I don't hate my curls, and I do show off my natural hair most of the time, but it's great to have the option of showing off thick, straight hair too. A+ product, and it's a lot cheaper than Sedu, and it has variable heat settings unlike the Chi. I think that makes the Solia the best pick of the three big names. Sidenote: Go with the 1 3/4" one rather than the 1 1/4" if your hair is really thick or past your shoulders, like mine.

Works Great, But Too Big
I love this flat iron! I used it on my daughter's thick, very curly hair. With my old flat iron, it would take at least 45 minutes. With the Solia, under 30 minutes and it was bone straight. The only problem is that it is a little too big. I thought I would like the 1-3/4 so I could flatten larger sections, but I find it harder to get to the roots. I will probably order a small one for that.
