I've had my Solia straightening iron since 2005 and it still works great, 4 years later! My hair is naturally wavy/frizzy, and whenever I use the Solia, it tames it fantastically. If I straighten on Monday, it still looks great on Tuesday.
My hair isn't incredibly thick, but it isn't thin... I straighten in 4 main sections - the bottom, middle, top, and front - and it takes me about 15 minutes to do it all. I go from frizzy bed head to ready to go in literally a half hour (if I take my time with my makeup)! I really couldn't be happier with this iron.
I hate to say it, but recently, I left it on all day long on my vanity countertop, and it didn't leave any burn marks. However, most straightening irons will automatically turn off - this one doesn't (at least not the type that was sold in 2005 - they may have improved since then), so make sure that you turn it off when you're done using it!
The one small flaw I have found is that the wire isn't the most sturdy. I have a small fray in mine, which I covered with electrical tape. I've considering replacing due to the wire, but it's really not worth it. It still works great!
Highly recommend. I bought it at Folica.com for about $80.
