So I took the plunge and bought a Solia from http://www.folica.com - www.folica.com . (It was quick too! I had it in about 2 days!) I did a conditioning wash with Suave Humectant and Mane N Tail Conditioner. Then I mixed Nexxus Emergencee with an Australian Conditioner and sat under a heat cap for 45 minutes. After rinsing, I added Organics Shea Butter Moisturizing Lotion and a Mist of Vo5 Miracle Heat protectant. It glided through with ease and my hair didn't burn not once. It didn't feel like I had heat on my hair at all! Afterwards, I added alittle moisturizer to my ends. It came out great! I'll have to post pics next time I do it!! ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

| I've wanted a Solia for awhile now, but was skeptical of getting it seeing as though it is 88 bucks I believe. I already spend way too much on hair products, and another flat iron(85 bucks). I think my Tigi Hardcore Iron has been giving me splits. But I'm not relatively sure. Well I think I'm gonna have to ask my rents to get me a great b-day gift!.. |

Ditto, I've been wanting that one for a while too, plus the fact that it is BLUE (my favorite color) is just so cool! Who's gonna break down and buy it with me! Free shipping on Folica.com!

Solias are very good irons. I had one before I bought my Sedu, and I really liked it. My roommate has it now, and she's given it a good home.  ------------- Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have. |

I used Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizer. It seems to hold moisture for me. I even have less shedding afterwards than I did before! I like the fact that it was very quick and easy to use and my hair didn't feel fried at all. It doesn't get the roots very well, but I'm not worried about that too much. I also used it on my sister'a hair. Her hair is EXTREMELY thick, but it took only 15 minutes to straighten her hair and it looks good! ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

If you use the thinner ones, they are able to get a bit closer to the scalp ------------- Natural since March 2006 No "heat" challenge for Winter 08-09 public.fotki.com/Vanity3 keepitsimplesista.ning.com/profile/Vanity1920 |

ITA with Vanity. Vanity, I think I'm gonna have to break down with you and go ahead and get me a good iron. I have a half inch Tigi. I love it to death, because of the pinstraight hair, but the little thing cannot get my ends for NOTHIN. I think I'm gonna order after my expensive trip to Orlando in April(depending if I have money left over!) and I don't give a rats behind about the roots either. I ALWAYS get the roots straight, and can never tell what to touch-up with a relaxer!

Okay, Okay, so I cheated! I didn't by the Solia! It is ceramic and Tourmaline just like the Solia, plus with a Sally's Card, it was only $69, regular $99. I got 90 days to try it. So I'll let you know.

I was in Sally's BSS today (my other favorite place on earth besides, Church; Target; Starbucks). and I was checking out the irons. I see this Jilbere NANOTECH 1". The manager comes by (whom I've gotten to know on all my visit) and says "I use that one on my self and customers" (she's a hairdresser too.) And I say, "how do you like it?" "I LOVE IT. best flat iron I've ever used", she says Then the other sales girl chimes in; "I only use Jilbere, I've had mine for a couple years."
