Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4") - Purple

So far I have been very pleased with my Solia flat iron. I was skeptical about using a flat iron because I was afraid it would fry my hair being as it gets damanged easily. But that one trip to the mall changed my mind. I got suckered into the Nume booth and allowed the salesman to do a free demo on my hair. As he ironed one section of my hair, I was instantly hooked. After he finished, I realized how much better my hair looked after being flat ironed. So I went shopping around to find one similar to the one in the mall because I honestly didn't want to pay $100+ for something that I could find cheaper elsewhere.I researched the latest reviews on flat irons and Solia was rated one of the top choices. I bought my flat iron which arrived in 2 days. I was so excited! I tried it out the very next day and while it wasn't exactly like the one used in the mall, it was very similar. The ceramic plates don't fry my hair. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. Best of all, it was sold in my favorite color: purple! It definitely makes getting ready for work or a night out more pleasurable with manageable (and tamed) hair.

I finally retired my cheapy, run down flat iron and swapped it with this one. I'm so glad I did! It's a great hair straightener that flattens hair quick and effectively. I love how hot it can get too. The only downside for me is that I can't seem to get it to also curl like other flat irons with a bit of a curve on the sides can. Overall, a great product.

I like it.

I have owned this straightener for 5 months and today I turned it on, blow dried my hair and started to pick up the straightener and the light wasn't blinking like it usually does. That's when I noticed that the heating plates were hanging off because the plastic or glue or whatever holds them on had melted. I don't even use the highest heat setting! So I thought I might could let it cool off and possibly be able to glue the plates back on but once it cooled, the plates are stuck in that position. I owned another well known brand for years before it stopped heating up but it certainly never fell apart! I definitely will not purchase this brand again.

I have very thick hair. I used to have a chi straightening iron but it broke.. I was going to get another chi because I did love it, but I decided to do some research. After a lot of research, I decided to buy this iron. Well, it's amazing! It straightens my hair and keeps it straight! I didn't even have to touch it up the next day! I highly recommend it, especially for thick hair!

Bought this for the wife to replace her Chi. She is very happy with this product and says it is faster to do her hair now, which means less waiting around for me. She loves the temperature control which helps in not over heating her hair.Her hair does seem to be softer and more shiny with this straightener compared to the chi. Guys if your looking for a gift that your woman will love get her this straightener.

just didn't straighten the hair much.

Wonderful flat iron, especially for the price. Bought this for my wife for Christmas, 2014, and it has been a wonderful piece of equipment. She has super curly and hard to maintain hair and this iron works wonderfully. She uses it on a daily basis with no problems.
