I have shoulder length 3B tight curly hair that I usually air dry. But now that it's longer, I wonder if this is worth it?

My daughter has hair that sounds similar to yours, and she prefers to air dry, but it takes a long time, so she'll use this on her hair, instead. It works better than any other system in forming a nice curl with a minimum of frizz. I use it too, and agree it is the best dryer system for curly hair, but I have short hair, so my drying time is quicker than it would be if it were longer. I dry in stages, because I refuse to stand for longer than 5 minutes at a time with a hand held dryer. It's boring and tiresome. So, I first dry out the drips, which takes about 2 minutes, go do something else for 10 minutes, and then go back and dry another 5. My hair will still be damp at this point , but, again, I'll go do something else for a bit, then, give my hair another round for another and final 5 minutes, maybe a little longer. All told, actual hand held dryer time for me is about 15 minutes. My guess is with this dryer, it will take you and extra 5 minutes. After all this, I do recommend this product and so does my daughter , we have both used this system for years.

I think it depends on if your hair takes a long time to dry. If you still like air drying, there is nothing better. But if you want to knock some time off, diffusing is great. I am putting a link here and I demonstrate how I use three diffusers on this dryer. I use the hand, and the concentrator and because I am only a 2a, I still need to use a bowl diffuser when I want bounce. With 3a you may not need the bowl dryer. The devafuser is so nice for a kind of spot "hard hat" dryer effect. Please check out my demonstration of ways to use it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rGfmT4jQE&feature;=share&list;=PLy8bclCLgER5N_uVYSYZNxhBHSXAW40OQ&index;=1 I think it depends on if your hair takes a long time to dry.

Does your hair frizz if you use a regular diffuser attachment? My issue was not being able to get the proper downward angle of the airflow using the deva dryer. The "hand" was too far away from the side of my head. Hard to explain. I'd probably line it better if the deva "hand" attachment was smaller.

If you have relaxed hair that waves or curls up, it will work for you. I am transitioning and it does a lovely job with my relaxed 4a/b hair. The relaxed part is 3a and its still soft and pretty as long as you don't use too much product. If you're transitioning, you'll want to spread it evenly with the finest comb your hair can tolerate without breakage.

I think shoulder length hair will work great. It's like using a flat iron, only the barrel will curl your hair better. I hope this helped you.

You can dry your hair anyway you like with Fanci-full. I have curly hair and I have given up trying to tame it, so I scrunch dry it till it is half dry, and then leave it to do its own "thang." When it is completely dry, I give it a brush, a bit more of a scrunch and I'm done! And the colour is great!

I have curly hair too but not thick. It works fine for me so far.Perhaps you should try it first if you can before buying it? Maybe at a hair stylist center?

Yes, it will smooth 3B hair (curly hair) if you put apply product to wet hair and use a round styling brush and blow dry. I sometimes will apply after my hair has been blown dry. Awesome product!

Yes! My hair is long and thick - naturally curly. Takes forever to dry. NOT anymore��� love this dryer for that.

Yes, but no. Your hair most likely needs real deep moisture, which is achieved over a bit of time. This product alone will probably not satisfy you and i know your fustration. I adore this product, but i use it along with the whole Curly Girl method routine. I suggest you look that up and also go to naturallycurly.com to learn more about your haiir TYPE. This product can be expensive and I'd hate for you to think you wastedyour money . Good luck :)

Yes, It does. My hair is fine...about shoulder length and it works very well. I think you will be very satisfied with it. Holds curl much, much better than the hot rollers.

I love mine. I have thick curly hair that takes hours and hours to dry naturally. This dries my hair in 10-15 min and does not frizz it out. Go for it.

It worked very well with my 3C/4A hair. After washing/co-washing, I used it to do twist outs with whipped shea butter and a Denman brush. It also works well for hair in it's natural curly state.

I guess it would depend on whether you want your hair curly or loose. I have sholder length hair and I use a variety of sizes. I use the larger ones at the top of my hair for fulness and the smaller ones for more curl. Also, my hair is not thick, so I dont need as many curlers. If you have thick hair, I would buy the one with a good amount of curlers and expeiriment with the different sizes of rollers. Then you will have a better idea of which size you use most. They do sell a package of 14 curlers of assorted sizes for around $27.00, but if you find that you use more medium size than any other, you can buy a pack of 6 for around $10.00. I hope this helps.

If you have a lot of patience. This item is not easy to use, you need a third hand if you expect good results. Lots of tangling, would not recommend for thick curly hair- good luck

I had the same concern when I bought this dryer. I have very thick curly hair that goes down to the middle of my neck. When I wash my hair, I let it air dry for about 15-20 minutes and then get under the dryer for a maximum of 20 minutes, usually less time. I have a pile of magazines in front of the dryer and, quite frankly, I think I take longer than I need because I'm enjoying my reading material. I've had a great experience with this dryer - no complaints.

Great question. I don't know but am interested in the answer. My hair is semi curly, below shoulder length and tangles every time I wash it. I use conditioner and sometimes leave in conditioner after that.

I have really long, naturally curly hair and I just put it in and let my hair dry naturally. But, I do that because I actually use this product to keep my curls soft, intact, and full, not as a straightener.
