How does this work with thick, drier, curly hair. I want more uniform, big curls after straightening my hair.

i have normal wavy thick hair. The herstyler makes medium sized curls that don't stay too long, even after you apply hairspray. so if you want big curls, the herstyler isn't the way to go .

Natalie,The curling iron is good on naturally curly hair but I wouldn't recommend trying to curl it after being straight because once you put heat to it especially to straighten its really hard to get it to curl much less stay, I find it to work best to wash your hair at night especially if her hair is naturally curly and let it air dry, and that morning spray your hair with hairspray and brush it out and then curl and it should make the curls you want and spray a little more after you curl it. Hope this helps, it works with my hair!!

Hi Natalie,I'm not sure. I don't have thick curly hair. What I can tell you is that it gets REALLY hot. Hotter than a standard curling iron. Good luck!

Yes you can curl hair with it, but it depends on the type of curls. I like mine to look like natural big curls and this straightener does an excellent job of that

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.

I have very thick natural curly hair so I'm not sure. This hairdryer is wonderful for my hair, I just wish I found it a long time ago. It adds volume to my hair by scrunching it up and holding it next to my scalp.

It definitely will . . I have thick hair as well , but maybe our textures are different . .but it gets super got so it straightens it and curls it at the same time . . Its a very good curler . . hope i helped

No. Only straighten it. It works, strangely, very well on (even really) straight hair to get rid of the little quirks (like parts of hair tending to curl under or outward naturally). But no curls!

I had the exact same problem and this one really works, plus the curls are made five times as fast as when you use a straighter! When it comes down to it, it all depends on your hair, but I personally found that this worked so much better.

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.

Put a drop or two of it in your hands (use very sparingly) and rub them together. Spread evenly and lightly in your dry hair, then straighten your hair. That's how I use it, and it works great. Like I said, be careful because if you use to much, your hair will look dirty.

I haven't tried it when my hair is naturally curly, only when it has been straightened. Sorry.

Less curly and much much healthier. Curls turn to waves and frizziness is gone. After blow drying i would have a fro but now it's smooth and doesn't require straightening.

I have long and very thick hair. I have to divide my hair into small sections to iron it...but I have had to do this with every brand I've had. Works great on my hair.

Yes, my hair is thick and past my shoulders and this is the 2nd one I have owned. I use straightening products in my hair as well so maybe it make it easier.

Yes, it will smooth out thick curly hair. This dryer doesn't have a super high heat and may take longer to dry. Air dry hair a little before using dryer.

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! =)

Check out my natural sistahs on YouTube quick and easy blowout for a demo. It works for my 4a 4c hair. I have low porosity hsir so most of my hair is dry before I ger to it. I make sure a comb slips through it with ease, wet or dry, heat protectant on top of whatever moisturizing system you have going on. Then I use this straighten my hair...more like stretch my hair. It's prep for flat iron if that's your next step. It's not bone straight. I don't want it to be. It gives a good tension blow dry or tension blow dry look.

My hair is fairly thick and doesnt typically hold curls, but does really well with this curling iron. I use it as more of a wand and my hair holds curl to some degree all day even without hairspray.
