Thanks all but at this point I think I am going to return it. I just read that if you have processed blonde hair You have to use it on low which does not work well for me since my hair is thick with natural curl.

No I do not use a heat protectant although it would not hurt. I also follow the instructions that came with the flat iron and I use argon oil on my hair regularly. I hope this helps.

I dont use any heat protectant with this iron, thou it would not hurt to use one.but I do use a silky straight smoothing serum from garnier fructis, just a few drops and the end result is amazing with this iron.

With this particular flat iron, you are not supposed to need product as you can use it on wet hair. I always use a protectant with my flat iron tho!

Hi Andie, do not use any protection for iron, this product is wonderful for my wife's hair

you might be using too much. try to lower the amount you use, and if that doesn't work, maybe the product isn't compatible with your hair. there are lots of other good products out there too, sometimes it takes a while to find one that suits your hair.

Unfortunately, I didn't have good results using this product on my natural hair color of strawberry light brown hair that's naturally wavey. It caused my hair to be brittle and break off and fall out. I do not recommend this product for use on any type of hair. Especially hair that has been processed (i.e. permed, colored, tinted, frosted). I do recommend asking a "hair professional" which hair growth product would be best for your type of hair, rather then trying something that may damage your hair. My hair is still in the process of healing from the use of this product and it has been several months since I tried this product. Good luck to you!

I got this hair too and it was horrible . I think either this hair is fake or just really over processed. It did not feel like remy hair at all .

It started pulling my hair. I stopped using it. It didn't straighten my thick hair as well as my old chi. I went back to chi.

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 dont think that is a good idea on this hair because its synthetic and the hair quality is horriable my suggestion go to your local beauty supply and buy human hair that you can dye and reuse the hair over and over

I have thick hair and it works for me! I really like it and I have had mine for over two years. it takes a little longer than a bigger curler but i think it makes the curls in my hair looks so much more natural than other curlers!

I have very thick hair but I use it on my bangs everyday and it is great. It has temp setting so use would probably just use a lower temp.

I don't know what kind of hair that you have but mine is combination hair. Coarse, thick and thin, curly wavy and straight. Very dry as well. Yes I used both. My hair sucks this up and becomes springy. Remember my hair is dry. If you have regular or straight hair or permed hair I would suggest not to use alot. I like it because my hair loves moisture and curls because of it. Some people, it will make your hair heavy and straight.

My hair is a lot like yours, not totally gray but mixed, mostly at the hairline. I did get very nice results with this product, although I must say I didn't examine with a microscope. The color was really soft and natural and the hair felt beautifully conditioned when I was done. If any few grays were stubbon they must have blended in because I didn't see any. Wish this was still being produced. If you have a chance to grab a box, go for it. I was in the process of shifting from red back to blonde when I used it and was very very happy with the results.

my hair is probably inbetween thick and thin. there is no temperature control, so this things heats up quick and gets super hot. if i were you i would look for one that has better temperature control so you don't fry your hair off.

I have the same as you and age wise also. I have used this in the last and I liked it. It will make you light blonde not gray. I have naturally light hair before gray. Leave on longer for better gray coverage and if your non gray hair is not too dark.

i just didnt like it at all, i have super fine hair as well! it has been in my hair dryer drawer and every know and then i try it....and still don't care for it. I end up using my curling iron. in the early 90's they had one on the market that was the bomb! I can't find anything like that ....with the bristles and blew out hot air while driving and it was no 100.00 one...it was like 20 or 30 dollars wish someone would manufacture something like that again....

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.

I'm not too familiar with the hair terms so I googled it. From the looks of the images your hair should blend well. I relaxed that part of my hair that was left out and it still blended well and look natural.

If you are not using a conditioner this could be the problem. I use WEN hair products.
