Her next favorite tool is the Super Solano hairdryer. I love all Solano’s products including my number one favorite the 1″ Solano Ceramic Flatiron. I use this flat iron on almost every one of my clients regardless of hair texture. I can create soft curls, loose waves or make the hair bone straight.
