I have Black/African American/ethnic hair. VERY very curly. Also, I am transitioning between chemically straightened hair and naturally curly hair, so I have both curly hair (at the roots) and permanently straight hair (at the ends). This iron, even at high temperatures does not burn my hair. The high temperatures aren't really needed, though. It does a professional job at a reasonable price, compared to other irons. I believe that it can be used when hair is damp, but that didn't work well for me and my stylist doesn't recommend it. It actually made my hair very frizzy when I tried to comb it. I would HIGHLY recommend it.
Great straightener that lasts!!!

I have been happy with my Solia for almost 4 years now!! I decided on the Solia after hearing so many friends complain about having to replace their CHIs! My Solia has taken a lot of abuse lol. My 2 sisters, my brother and myself all use this straightener daily and I am so surprised it still works. Folica has the best prices too! The only thing wrong after having it for so long is that it doesn't heat up as fast as it did before. It has also been dropped so many times and looks beat up. I have finally decided to replace it and I'm trying out the Sedu. Hopefully it won't let me down... my Solia certainly hasn't!

I got this iron as a gift just a little over two years ago and I absoulutly love it. I have very curly kinky ethnic hair and many irons that you can get at wal-mart and discount stores just did not work on my hair. This iron is perfect it gets my hair straight and keeps it that way until the next washing. Iwould definitly recommend this iron to anyone that wants to get their hair straight in a timely manner without causing it damage. THANX SOLIA!!!
love it.

i use to own a chi && it just didnt get hot enough, so i bought this one. it gets hot enough to get the job done faster but w/o frying my hair. it works alot better than the chi for flipping hair.
Wonderful from the start!!!!!!

I was looking for a way to straighten my hair with out a relaxer or hot comb. So I went loking for a flat iron that would give the same effect. After everyone's reviews and looking at the pics I purchased the Solia.That was in February , and it is still working like a charm. The more you use it the better you'll get.
Great hair tool

I have short hair and Solia's 3/4" plates flat iron works perfectly with my hair. I can straight my hair or use this flat iron to flip out my hair and it works perfectly well. I would highly recommend this flat-iron to everybody with short hair.

I bought the Solia 3/4 after I cut my hair until a bob hairstyle. I have the Sedu 1 1/2 and as it is good at getting my hair stright and smooth, the Solia 3/4 gets the back area that is layered. I love the fact that I don't have to set it on high to get my hair stright.
Long time coming

I originally wanted to write a review after the first time I used this flat iron because I was so satisfied. I took a while to write to write though because I wanted to make absolutely sure that I was satisfied with this flat iron. I cannot tell you how happy I am with this purchase. I had a Chi flat iron which was 140 dollars at Ulta which broke after only a month of use. I was so jaded that it took me almost a year to muster up the courage to buy a new one. I bought a Solia because it was suggested to me by my hair dresser as being the "new Chi" (The Chi had achieved some type of cult status where I live... even though it's sub-par quality) I really like how quickly this flat iron heats up and how I only need to go through once and my hair is completely straight. I like how tiny the iron is so it is easy to get the bangs straight and how soft and shinny my hair looks after use. I have used it everyday since purchasing it and it works beautifully. My hair actually looks and feels healthier after using the iron then it does without using the iron. (I was really worried about damaging my hair with so much heat exposure) Long story short, this is an EXCELLENT product, cheap compared to a Chi, and much better quality. I would suggest this product to anyone who is contemplating purchase. I know other comments helped me decide which item to purchase so I hope mine helps you!
