Wondering if this will work on very curly hair? My daughter is of mixed race and has very thick curly hair. Most brushes result in a huge afro.

First of all, stop brushing her curly hair!!!! All brushes will result in an afro. Curls aren't meant to be brushed daily.1. Brush after 2/3 days 2. Wash 3. Use a product (detangler/defrizzer) 4. Leave alone until next washing.Braiding hair at night minimizes knots. I know you didn't exactly ask for advice, but I'm mixed race and my motherhad no clue what to do with my hair, and I wish someone had told her. Best of luck!

Well this brush was bought for my niece(shes 4),and if you don't brush her hair when she gets out of the bath tub,it gets tangles in it,and she looks like an orphan living on the street. I don't know what your daughters hair is like,but it worked for my niece. I don't know if I helped you or not with my answer,but good luck!

Yes, especially if used during the conditioning part of her hair washing. Brushing & any type of conditioning go hand & hand.

This will work on your daughters hair. I bought one for my niece who has very curly hair and it straightened out all curls giving it a smooth look.

I'm not sure Shirley - my hair is shoulder length and the brush part is wide - I don't think you would be able to get too much hair around the brush if it is too short. I've used a curling brush smaller in dimension when my hair was shorter and that worked very well for me. You might want to look for something like that instead. I don't want to discourage you; however, I can't say for sure this larger one would work. Hope this helps a little. Have a super day. Bev

Hi Danielle! I have natural African Anerican hair and it works great! Also try to use the system that fits the thickness of your hair!

I have long hair too. my hair is almost touching my butt :) I bought BIO IONIC StyleWinder..... but I almost never used it... it works fine, but I wanted big curls. If you want big curls, I recommend this one! Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Jumbo And Super Jumbo Hair Setter with Super Clips, Amazon Exclusive, 12 countThis makes your hair very pretty with big curls :) and is very very easy to use

"Ethnic" hair comes in lots of different textures. This works well with relaxed hair. It works on natural hair with a looser curl pattern.

I don't know about the afro hair. I have somewhat curly/frizzy hair, and I find the wood bristles are a lot lower friction than plastic brushes. I have both this and the oval one, and I have small hands, so I find the smaller one easier to use when blow drying, but I bring this one to my hair salon, and my colorist LOVES this brush. She uses it to dry my hair. I hope this helps you decide if you want it.

It does VERY well for thick hair, my hair is VERY thick also and I am so HAPPY with this curling iron. Your hair looks shiny and the curls last. You won't be disappointed. HTH

I think would work on all hair...one granddaughter has African American hair and one just American hair...if you mean super curly vs. mostly very straight!

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?

in response to your question, I use this brush to blow my curly hair out straight, I brush using my scalp as a guide. brushing back and forth and back to front straightens my hair. if you want to keep your hair curly I wouldn't advise you use this. it is an amazing brush but brushing curls makes frizz. I speak from experience, I am a hairstylist. recently I had a keratin treatment, this brush works amazingly.

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 :(

Hey Madeline, This would be more like a smoothing brush for thick hair. You may want to consider one of the cushioned wood-bristle brushes.

Let me know how much you like it. I also recommend Dermorganic conditioner. After I use it and I leave some on my hair it takes me 2 minutes or less to brush my curly hair. (I have a lot of hair!)

Well some may beg to differ about my hair being African American. I am black with loose curls. It worked miracles on my hair! I only use the spray. I also put a lot if extra moisture in my hair at night. This product is a little drying . It is definitely worth going to the Aveda store for a sample.

My daughter loves hers curls too. I used this product on her and it's not eliminate the curls but smooth it. If she does a blower and flat iron, she has a beautiful straight hair but if not, she still has curls but smooth and no terrible mess.

That may be an issue for real thick hair. The bristles are about 3/4 of an inch. WE do offer another brush by Olivia Garden called the finger brush and it's excellent for thick hair.
