Will they work on chin length, thick hair? Would like a quicker way to style rather than curling iron or flat iron and would like soft curls.

If you have fine hair they would probably work, but if your hair is on the coarse side they probably won't.

With chin length hair you would probably need to use the medium sized rollers which would make the curls tighter. I use the jumbo size on my hair and I like the results. I hope this helps.

Yes - I would suggest experimenting with them a bit to get the hang of it. I first tried using the steamer when I was a teenager and it didn't work out well. Now this is my go-to styling method. Leave the curler on the steamer a bit (mybe 30 seconds) to warm up, wrap your hair, repeat. How long you leave the curlers in will depend on your hair. When you take them out, let your hair cool a couple minutes. Try different curler sizes and set different times. I love my steamer!!

My daughter has shoulder length, THICK chemically relaxed hair and using the jumbo rollers didn't curl her hair at all so I'm going to say probably not. With that being said, using the medium size roller may give you the curl you want but that could require a lot of rollers having such thick hair. I would suggest leaving the rollers in a bit longer than usual as that may help achieve your goal should you want to give it a try. I apologize for not being more definitive in my answer.

I don't use these curlers that often. I keep them at my daughter's house for when i visit. I don't think the jumbo is that big. I too have hair that is chin length and they work great for me. The amount of curl you get depends on how long you heat them up. The hotter the roller the tighter the curl.

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 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.

Not in my experience! My hair is fairly thick and this didn't do much of anything to it. You need a styler that blows hotter air if you want to straighten and one with a comb. I got a Conair 3 in 1 styler that works great.

I've only used mine once, just playing around with them, and I loved how the curls stayed in my hair. My hair is not thick either.

I have short wavy hair & it's ok for that but I honestly don't think it would work as well on long thick hair, it dries so quickly you'd probably end up using way too much & end up wih a knotted mess. Hope this helps.

They are long enough for short hair. My hair is short. Maybe not as short as your mom's but I think it will work for her. I love the curling iron

I think it would still work with thick hair! Because I also have very thick hair and I wear my extensions an I like to do that because it makes my hair look more healthy and long!

I have super fine, super thick above the chin length hair. I kept getting my hair caught in the crevices of the tool and pulling it out. You have to use small sections, but it does curl tough I would try KISS Instawave Automatic Curler at Ulta if I had longer hair. The Hot Tools one did work, but due to my thick hair, I found hot rollers took less time.

That is a close description of what I do and my hair type, and they didn't work for me. I live in north Texas where the humidity is not low. I think that has quite a bit to do with it. I think if you live in a very dry area you stand a better chance of it working. When I say they didn't work, I mean not even a tiny bit, rollers in, rollers left in for 30 minutes, rollers out, NOTHING, limp hair.

I haven't. But I have had one of those mall kiosk people use a flat iron on my hair and do it both straight and curled. I just never tried it! It's kind of wide, I think 1 1/2 inches so might not work too good. I think a 1 inch would work better.

i think i would work with short curly hair. it would have a straightening and smoothing effect especially on your top layers. my hair is layered so my bangs fall just at my ears and i can still use this on them.

I'm not sure how it would work for you. My hair is pretty curly when it's short and then wavy when it's long and heavier. The iron does smooth it out, but it's still not a sleek salon look. I hope that helps!

I have thick hair...it gets curly when when. This set works great on my hair.

They kind of help hold hair in place. If you have very thick hair (I do) I use smaller sections of hair and it works better.

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.
