This contest post will stay at the top of the page from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Eastern on November 24th, 2011. Read on to find out about today’s prize and enter to win!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Today I’m thankful for you (among other things). I hope you’re all planning a fantastic day with people you love. Know what else I’m sometimes thankful for? Shiny hair.

Hey, don’t laugh. I have really, really curly/frizzy/unruly hair which I had no idea how to handle for most of the first couple decades of my life. Good hair days cause to give thanks! Anyway, I met a nice lady from Folica when I went to Save Up this year, and she had very pretty hair, and when I mentioned that I thought Big Prize Week needed something extra-pretty, she was totally game to help us out: She sent me two Solia flat irons, one to test and one to give away.

Some of you know that my trusty flat iron is a GHD, and I often joke that you can pry it out of my cold, dead hands. Well. The Solia totally held its own; I was all set to do a “and here’s half my hair done with one and half done with the other” comparison, but… it all came out the same—smooth, shiny, and soft. The plates self-adjust while you use it, which means even my teen loved it, saying it works “a lot more evenly” than her current iron.

In short, this is a pretty fabulous tool, which is only fitting, seeing as how fabulous you are.

Want to win it? Of course you do! First, go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post today (Thursday, November 24th, 2011) by 8:00 p.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 p.m. Pacific) for a chance to win. The winner will be pulled and announced tonight, because tomorrow is going to be our biggest contest yet, in celebration of Black Friday.

Ready? Go!
