does the dryer work well on fine, naturally curly hair, similar to air drying, just faster? Or does it blow the hair around too much?

I doubt if it blows the hair around. I normally dry my braids for a braidout. I'm 4a Kinky-Curly. If you want to dry a WnG (a style I don't rock), I believe it will dry in place and to your satisfaction, but much faster than usual. I'm under the dryer now. If you like, when I co-wash Sunday, I can get under the dryer with my hair out to see if it blows or stays in place.

I also have naturally curly hair, but it is quick thick, not at all fine. And I use large rollers for control and to somewhat straighten it. The air put out by this dryer is quite strong, so I agree with the first answer as to using a net or something. I do love the strength of the air flow as it does dry very quickly and efficiently. I really like the dryer very much.

I have 3b thick hair I usually air dry my hair when I am wearing it curly the fan is very strong and I would not recommend sitting under the dryer with out some kind of net or you run the risk of getting your hair caught up in the fan. But I do use it for my roller sets and wraps when I wear my hair straight it's great dries my hair in half the time and is also great for my deep treatments .

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.

Much less than one would expect from such a powerful dryer. My hair has NEVER come out better! Noice depends on what setting you have it on. I use the highest heat, then use the cool button and it sets my hair as if I had curlers in it. Beats using a curling iron! Good luck!

way better! No hand held blow dryer has this much power and the attachments. The heat is pretty hot (but won't burn) or you can use just the air which is slightly warmer than your room temperature. WORKS GREAT AND FAST!!!!!

I have naturally wavy/curly hair and it does help a lot; however on extremely humid days it still gets frizzy, but not quite as bad as it did before using this.

I have thick, curly, fine dry hair and it works great. Doesn't leave a build up on your hair.

I would say that if you are the one doing her hair it would be fine. I use it on my hair and my 89 year old mother. It's better than a regular blowdryer for drying curly hair. I love mine. It doesn't blow the curl out and has two settings. I usually use the low setting.

To me...yes. This is the perfect hair dyer for curls. I spent way to much time over thinking the cost and I haven't looked back since. I definitely don't sit around thinking "Darn....I wish I hadn't have wasted my money on this." This blow dryer is the first one I've ever bought and I couldn't be happier. I love all deva curl products!

I never have a problem with dry hair when using this. I put it on while my hair is still wet. I squeeze out any extra water so that there are no water drops coming off and then spray it on. While my hair naturally dries it is absorbed. It is best not to blow dry your hair if you can avoid it, that will lead to dryer hair faster than this product. I also use moisture shampoo and conditioner but I do not rinse out all of the conditioner.

Hi: my hair is fine, color treated and down to my waist, so I try not to blow dry as much as I can. But I use this conditioner as a leave in and it protects against breakage from heat ie: hair dryer, curling iron. And it leaves you hai so smooth

My hair is really think and somewhat wavy, and the dryer works quickly without making my hair frizzy and more importantly, without drying it out.

I am not sure if the term for this dryer is high velocity as I am just a novice pet owner and not a groomer. But I will say that it is the best thing since sliced bread. I have a Wheaton terrier and he is 39lbs, his natural hair is curly but we keep his hair straight. Prior to using this dryer I would just use the typical hair dryer and it took forever, now with this dryer the time is cut down to 20 minutes max and his hair comes out straight whether I brush it while drying or not. Obviously if you brush the hair as your dry, it will be straighter. I highly recommend this dryer. Hope this helps !

I find this dryer to be pretty fast, but i do let my hair air dry a bit first. I use it as my regular dryer. It's faster than my old regular-sized conair.

Hi, LeAnn: Though I do like this blowdryer, I like the Babyliss Pro BABP2800 even more. I use the 2800 as a rule now because not only does it do a better job drying my hair without actually drying it out, but it also makes it look like I spent time styling it. Usually, I just brush my hair a little while I'm drying it and occasionally run my fingers through it to aim the air where it needs to go. I have gotten some nice compliments on my hair since using the BABP2800. I think if volume is what you're after, then that will be the blowdryer for you. Hope this helps! :)

Very well, my daughter has natural curly hair, after wash she uses a towel to suck up the excess water, adds some argan oil, n goes under to dryer on 60 for about 45, any hotter n your hair will get frizzy.

My wife's hair is very, very thick and fairly short and it works fine. I am sure it would not work as well as a more powerful dryer on long hair because it does not blow the sheer volume of air, but it produces a stream of hot air, and seems to concentrate it more than the big dryer. I used it on our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with very dense hair and lots of it and it did a good job.
