I was shipped my straightener quickly, and I was so excited to try Solia out. When I first opened the box I was confused and surprised. Nowhere on the box or labels did it say "tourmaline", and instead of a heat-proof pouch I got an almost invisible sample of argan oil polishing serum. I emailed customer service and got a timely response. All of their straighteners have tourmaline, but they're shipping out all the old inventory packaging before they move on the new stuff. The result: a free sample instead of a heat-proof pouch. Too bad, I really wanted the pouch...
I also wish I had just gone to Folica and purchased it there, because right at the top of their website was a code for a discount.
As for the straightener itself, it is pretty awesome. I am Caucasian and have thick, wavy, very malleable hair. I did have to go over the same section of hair 2 or 3 times before getting it completely straight, but that is still better than any other straightener I have ever used. It doesn't tug on my hair, and straightening is faster for me than it ever has been before. I need to get a better heat protectant than Tresemme spray though, because I have a lot of fly-aways. I end up putting hair-spray on a toothbrush and combing the fly-aways down.
Bottom Line: There was a little road bump with what I expected to be shipped, but it is the best straightener I have ever tried on my hair.

This hair straightener is still working as well as the day I took it out of the box. 13 months and going strong.

This is actually a really great flat iron. It not only presses the hair straight but softens and smoothens as well. I also noticed that when I did this with my old iron,my hair would suddenly become curly again, if i went out doors and it was rainy or damp. With this iron however, my hair remains straight and lasts for a few days. It works best when you shampoo and condition your hair and dry it thoroughly and not add any product to it.

I bought this straightener after much research on finding the right product for me. I have had it for 3 years now and use it about every other day because when it straightens my hair it does exactly what I dreamed it would! I haven't had ANY problems with it, its very easy to take care of and boy did I take care of it! If you care for it, it will not fail you - let it cool, gently "fold" the cord in the same pattern it came "folded" in and put it back in the box for storage. My friends ditched their straighteners and asked to borrow mine! My hair stylists said my hair was in great condition! I'm a hair model too and the several different stylists I work with also compliment my hair's condition! They have to ask the client how they normally wear their hair and when I say I straighten it, they are in some disbelief - I don't put much product, if any, in my hair so its all about how I blow-dry and how the straightener treats my hair! My hair prefers to be blow-dried and/or straightened {it's more pleasantly manageable when it is}. I've used friends' straighteners that are similar - also to 400 degrees, or with ceramic plates, and NONE compare! They straighten my hair, yes, but they don't LAST and they don't have the forgiveness of the tilting PLATES, nor do they have ION technology that this has to promote health despite the heat. My hair is fine but I have a lot of it - so plenty of fly-aways, some frizz, and its VERY tolerant against heat and products. This works!! My hair is defined, beautifully controlled - and I receive SO many compliments! haha needless to say this is a FANTASTIC STRAIGHTENER!! Purchase, and enjoy :]
