How do these curlers work on thick coarse hair? For those who did not like this product what would your recommendations be?

I have long, thick, straight hair and it did nothing for my hair :( I would suggest buying a good curling wand and brushing the curls out if u want larger wavy hair. These rollers did nothing for my hair and wouldn't even cover my whole head. Only half of it :(

My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me. They heat up VERY quickly, and I blow dry my hair first, so I put them in my hair as soon as they are ready, but manual says if you need to, let them heat a little longer, and leave them in until they are cool, but I don't have to do that. If you don't like hot rollers, the only alternative is a flat iron. I prefer the rollers. I use them to smooth out my hair and turn it under at the bottom, also have bangs, but they would certainly work for curls to a certain extent, but this set is the set with larger rollers for more body or smoothness, rather than curls. Set with some smaller rollers would work better for tighter curls. My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me.

I have thick coarse hair and these work pretty good, also my hair is down to my waist. I would recommend a styling wand if you did not want to use hot rollers.

I don't have coarse thick hair/ mabe just using a smoothing cream would help with the rollers..

I used these on my Mom and she has thick, coarse, dry hair and the curls held and made her hair softer and shiny! Also letting them heat up for long than the 85 secs on the box helps.

I would have to say these rollers are designed for thick long hair. The hair will have to be rolled thick enough so the roller edge itself does not contact the scalp.

I have really thick and heavy hair that is very stubborn when it comes to curling, even with hairspray. But I left these rollers in my hair for about 8 minutes and the curls were extremely voluminous and held up for very long, even without any products. I think the trick is just placement of the rollers in your hair, how you roll them, and how much patience you have to let them settle. Definitely recommended. Good luck!!

I sent mine back...I wasn't very pleased with it. It seemed that it didn't do much for my hair, and mine is fine also.Hope this helps! I found a better one at TJ Maxx!

Jason, I have thick hair and use this product to hold it down because it tends to be too bushy. It does a great job of holding it in place. You have to experiment with the amount to use, if you accidently use too much, it easily rubs out with a towel. If I was using this for fine hair, you need to start with just a little in your hands and see what works. I can quantify that the product works and I use it every single day.

I have thick hair so I'm not sure how it works for fine hair. However, it does have strong air flow. I like this dryer it't light and I it does a good job making my curly hair straight. Good value for the price$$ However, I still feel that the best dryer out there is the T3 Featherweight hair dryer. Last time I needed a dryer I just couldn't spend that much money. Recently, my friend said she saw the T3 Featherweight at Costco for a good price. You might want to check it out.

I have fine to medium hair and they worked perfectly. My curls have lasted 2-3 days! Be very careful to let each roller steam for only 4-7 seconds, and I steam the clamps as well. From my experimentation with these rollers I've noticed the longer you leave these rollers in, the longer your curls will stay in. It's also a good idea to lightly spray your hair with hairspray after you take the rollers out, then I just run my fingers through the curls and spray it again. Another note, I only use distilled water because I think it makes the device last longer. Hope this helps!

I have fairly thin/fine hair so not sure how it would work on thick/course hair. It does get quite hot and quickly. I don't use it as my daily curler because of the size.

Hey Nichole! I really like the product and I suppose it will be good for that type of hair. I have long but thin hair and it does the job which makes me think it will be even better for thicker hair. Hope my answer was useful. Happy new 2015!

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?

The best conditioner for coarse, thick, frizzy hair ever. I use it every other shampoo. A miracle product, you gotta try it. Make sure you use it with the clarifying shampoo in the same line. They are meant to go together.

The clips work great for thick hair. Sometimes I have to use two clips forming an X to lift the curl at the root and if you are using larger sections. Search for DevaCurl online to show the placement of the clips.

It really does work. I love the her styler it makes my hair feel soft an not brittle like other flat irons. The curling wand is great too I have naturally straight hair and it is hard to keep a curl without using a whole can of hairspray and with her styler wand my curls last all day with only a little hairspray now!!! :) hope this helped!!!

i had the same problem and was not happy with the procedure. there is a youtube video that gives a demo and they used a curling iron that worked for them. i did not like the result and would not recommend this kit.

I have thick hard to curl hair and this tool works well. Using hair spray before and after you use the tool should help to hold the curl. The tool can get very hot so use it carefully.

Yes. I curled my friend's hair this weekend (she had fine limp hair also) with the straightener and it stayed all night into the next day. The curls come out tighter and voluminous. Go on youtube and watch how people curl their hair with a straightener. It comes out beautiful and stays for a long time irregardless of what hair type you have. I would also recommend using the curling irons that come in this box. I have thick hair that does not hold a curl well so the curling irons do very little for me. I think that if they are used with finer hair the curls will probably stay and it will give a nice wavy look. Yes.

I have fine hair too. I'm not very good with the brush but the curling iron attachment worked well and the hair dryer attachment is great because the blower isn't too strong and it doesn't blow my hair flat like other hair dryers do. The issue I had with the curling iron attachment is that the cord doesn't spin very well and the cord wore out. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options for things that work well with short, fine hair.
