Does the Solia flat iron have curved edges to curl?
If want a professional flat iron and you are ok with spending around $140 I would highly recommend the Karmin G3 Salon Pro, it heats up to 450f with temperature control, tourmaline ceramic plates with rounded edges which makes it great for also curling your hair. Also has a 3 year warranty. If you buy from http://www.MyHairStylingTools.com they are also giving away a free heat matt/carrying case and some heat serum that works really well. If you do look at other irons make sure to stay away from irons with painted plates (colored plates) these can damage your hair. You can also check reviews at http://flatteningirons.net to see their ranking of the top 10 flat irons. Also Check Google for reviews. Good luck and I hope this helps.
