Solia Pink Limited Edition 1" Flat Iron, 208 VAR, Free Shipping Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1"), ST100, Free Shipping
I bought my first pink Solia 2 years ago. I LOVED it! It did a fabulous job straightening my hair and held up nicely. Well, it died over the summer.
I took it with me to Europe and the glue that holds the plates in melted. I used a converter and plug adapter - this iron just isn't meant to be used in other countries (duh
). When I got back from my trip, I decided to order another pink Solia since I was so happy with it. I noticed that the design had changed and was excited to see how it had been improved. In short, the newly designed Solia is a disappointment.
There are tiny little grooves on all edges of the plates that catch hair and pull it out. Even when I was being super careful, it was hard to avoid snagging. Check out the pictures I took - the circled areas are the snagging culprits.
I would NOT recommend this iron anymore. Unless you're going for the missing patches of hair look...
I sent the iron back to Folica and ordered a Paul Brown Hawaii one instead. After I've had a chance to use that one a few more times, I'll write another review.
