i have thick wavy hair. Sometimes I air dry it, so it stays wavy, sometimes I smooth out the waves. Will this work either way?

It will work whether you air dry, brush out or blow dry. I wouldn't straighten my hair with it as it is for curl defining not straight styles.

My hair is wavy and fine, and this product was too heavy for my hair. I think if your hair is thick and coarser than mine you could use it either way, but it probably would make more sense to use a product which is for blowing your hair out smooth. I also used a Ouidad product for my curls which was lighter weight, and was better for my hair.

I just blow dry. I don't think your hair will just be straight from it air drying.

I have thick, curly hair and it works fine :) I would imagine any texture should work fine. Just be sure it's brushed really well, no snarls or tangles and do small sections at a time, like maybe about an inch wide when flattened and you should be fine. If you try to do too much at a time it does pull on the hair.

I have thick wavy hair that sounds like it is just a little shorter than yours, and this brush works fine, but only when I detangle the ends first.

I have thick wavy hair and I have tried all other cheaper brands and they didn't work I spent the extra money on this and I love it! Totally worth the money. I'm on my second one and the first one lasted over 4 years.

I would say it works pretty well with thick hair (as mine is very thick), but it really depends on the quantity of hair in each stand you curl. If you go not as much, you get a tighter curl, or larger and it gives you definitely more of a wave effect. I, personally use not as much hair in each curl, but only because that's the look I'm going for. Hope this helps! =)

Yes it will because I have waves all around my head and when I had it in my hair my waves went into curls I had to brush my hair so they could stay wavy but I just have to put it in my hair and put a du rag on so yea if you have long to mid hair it will curl your hair pretty good

I have thick, kinky hair and it calms it down but doesn't straighten. When I flat iron, it stays put, even in humidity. For me, my texture is better. I don't think it loses volume. The effect is cumulative. The more you do it, the straighter it gets

Our daughter has fine hair & this particular Hot Tools adds a bit of volume but does not curl her fine straight hair. If your have naturally wavy, curly or frizzy hair, thick or fine, with a little styling gel or mouse this will tame the curls & make smooth waves for you! I don't use any products on mine & love the smooth waves I get. I dry my hair with a blow dryer first so use this Hot Tools curler on very slightly damp hair. Hope this helps!

I have very thick, dry, wavy hair. I use it when my hair is damp, but you can also use it (sparingly) on dry hair to calm frizzies or add shine.

I am not that adept at getting it beautifully straight with the blow dryer. Still have to use a flat iron. Air drying followed by flat ironing also works for my wavy hair.

i have very thick hair so and its wavy and i honestly think that for my hair type it did not work for my sister whom has very thin hair it worked perfectly fine . so i recomend if you have thick hair do not buy .

I have thick hair and found it helps. Apply 3 pumps to your palm and then rub through hair. Don't put it near yoyr scalp. i let it air dry until about half dry then use blow dryer with diffuser briefly. Neve until totally dry. Also works fine to air dry only then run fingers through hair. One thing that is very important too is a hair stylist that will give you a cut that will ehance your curls.

I have very fine wavy hair and this product is perfect for me. I'm not sure it would provide hold for coarse or thick hair.

Yes, that is usually how I use it. I run it from the underside of my wet hair, with the bristles of the dryer pointing up, starting at the roots and sliding outward. When I am done my hair is dry and smooth. Not poker straight, but smooth with body. (Not curly and frizzy like when it air dries). I also sometimes use it to smooth dry hair, so it can be used both ways.

YES...I have thick but fine textured hair and it works great. It takes less than two minutes to dry my hair. I love this little dryer and would highly recommend it. It is small but very powerful and the quality is miles ahead of any dryer I have seen in the stores.
