Solia Flat Iron Reviews

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...

I love the way this product makes my chemically relaxed hair feel.

It really gives it a silky texture and high gloss with minimal damage. In the early days of my relaxer, I would only need to set it to medium strength and give it a 'once over' pass on my hair to see the kind of magazine ready results that I go for. In later stages, I comfortably set it to the higher level(s) and do the same thing - i.e. pass it over my hair just once (with about two seconds spent at the root) - to achieve results so good, that it would not appear to the naked eye that I had any new growth or need of/for a touch-up....

I had a flat iron before that took FOREVER to get my hair straight. I have the pouffy not-straight-but-not-wavy hair type that is so annoying. I can't stand it like that so I straighten it every day, and the Solia Ceramic Ion Flat Iron has made my life so much easier! Now it only takes me about 10 minutes to straighten my unruly hair in the morning, and it used to take twice as long. Not only that, but my hair actually stays straight all day - before the ends always used to start curling and it would get pouffy about halfway through the day if the humidity is bad. Since I got this straightener...

Solia's 1.25 inch ceramic tourmaline flat iron is a great product! I love it because it is easy to hold, and has ridges on the side of the iron part so that you can grab it around the edges (although I wouldn't recommend you do that) -- I think it is more of a safety precaution. The plates are blue, which I think is a bit odd, but perhaps thats how they distinguish their brand... I love that they have a wide range of settings. I wanted a flat iron that would enable me to straighten my hair to different levels of straight depending on my mood that day. I had seen many flat irons that only had one...

When my beloved flat iron died last year I bought a Remington at a discount department store.  I used it for about a week, but it felt like it was tugging on my hair.  I researched different models online, and although I knew I was going to have to spend a little more money, I didn't want to break my bank account.  I decided the Solia provided the best value for my dollar.  I have had it for almost a year now, and I still love it.  It glides right through my hair (which is medium length, thick and wavy) and hasn't caused any damage.  I love that it has multiple heat settings, and heats up...

I bought that this after many months of research on folica.com. Because of price and all the rave reviews it received I bought if for my daughter who has very curly hair.  She hated the blow dryer so I thought with just letting her hair air dry and then passing the solia it would work wonders for her thick fine curly hair. It did better than the 30.00 conair one i had but still left her hair frizzy and thick looking. not sleek and totally straight at all. I think i should've bought the chi or sedu.

I bought my Solia Iron about 4 years ago.  It is still working great, and works just as well as the Chi did, but was about $15 cheaper.  I like my Solia better than Chi because it has a temp control.  I had my Chi for about a year, then it stopped working. I know that they have a warranty, but who keeps the packaging? Again, the Solia is every bit as good as the Chi, plus has the temp control.
