I have fine, short hair and would like to be able to use a gentle flow of heat to add volume while finger styling. Will this work?

I am Frank's wife. He bought the dryer for me (No, not as a Christmas present). I also have fine short hair. I use the dryer when I use rollers because it has a wide opening so it covers a large area at one time. I have also used it as you describe with fairly good results but my hair won't hold a curl and has a lot of cowlicks. The prongs that came with it are heavy and my arms are weak so I have less success with that.

My hair is neither fine or short. I have extremely curly hair and wanted a dryer to provide a low air flow to dry my hair curly without the frizz. This dryer works perfectly. So to answer your question I believe it may do exactly what you want. A slow gentle flow to finger style your hair.

I think that it would work fine, this isn't the most powerful dryer and the airflow is differant than a regular blowdryer.

You can even use this on high to do this because this great hair drying is a gentle flow either way.

The dryer has two speeds- high and low. Even the high setting is relatively gentle.

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.

Probably. Sometimes I just put at the roots of my med/long hair and it gives it body. Seems like it would work as well on short hair

Since your hair is short, the product will work better...I am guessing, since for longer hair this product will just weigh the hair down because the texture of it is slimey and heaver. I'd recommend another product for hair texture like a shaping cream by the tea tree brand. I use that right now (also have short hair) and it works great...the texture of it isn't liquidy like this product so it doesn't weigh the hair down. Or check out a hair taffy of some sort....You can always try this product yourself and see how it works for you; everyone has there own likes and dislikes. But I recommend a hair product like I mentioned above because the texture isn't this thick liquidy stuff.

Our daughter has fine hair & this particular Hot Tools adds a bit of volume but does not curl her fine straight hair. If your have naturally wavy, curly or frizzy hair, thick or fine, with a little styling gel or mouse this will tame the curls & make smooth waves for you! I don't use any products on mine & love the smooth waves I get. I dry my hair with a blow dryer first so use this Hot Tools curler on very slightly damp hair. Hope this helps!

When I use the diffuser it is on medium heat, low air setting. The stronger the air flow the frizzier the hair. You can use warmth though.

I know what you are talking about trust me. What I found to work (to give you that light weight but great hold without the greasy look) is to apply a small amount onto your damp hair and blowdry heat while brushing your hair to desired position. Once hair is dry, apply another small amount to your palms and spread throughly on your hair to its desired position. Done. Light weight but great hold.

I don't think it would work well for short hair. Maybe medium short hair ... it's just that you have to have enough length to wind it through the mechanism. Really short hair wouldn't have the length.

I have fine hair. It works great putting a wave in fine hair. I'd just be careful about conditioner- the metal can fry hair.

I can't say for sure. I have fine hair, and this product works great. It gives me hold and volume without weighing down, or interfering with my natural curl. A very small amount is all I need. May I suggest you purchase a small tube and try it out. Good luck!

If you turn the heat down and use it to "curl" you could end up with a more wavy look. When I curl my hair with it I can shake the curls out enough to get a wavy look.

I believe so, I have fine medium length curly hair, my sister has short fine shoulder length hair, and it works very well. Especially, well for thin hair; it does a very good fluff job. My hair is very soft and looks full after blowing. I strongly believe it works well for all hair types.

absolutely. I would recommend using it on the medium heat level, as I do with my daughter's hair.

I definitely would. I also have shoulder length hair in a few layers & I LOVE it.!!! It gets HOT so be careful. It does come w/ a glove. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Hello. I have short hair, fade style. I use this wax on the top part of my hair to make it stand (diagonally) up. To accomplish this with my very fine hair, I use 1-2 good scoops with my finger depending on the length at the time. A scoop for me is a bigger than a finger nail, but I am honestly not sure what to compare the amount to in order to describe it. But if the amount you're using isn't enough to get the results you want, just use more! Can't hurt. Just play with it until you find your happy medium.

Yes it work as great if you turn the heat up higher for thick hair like the directions say. It works the best doing small sections, only one swipe needed!

I have pretty thin hair as well. Don't turn it up all the way and you should be fine. Maybe test it on a piece before doing your whole head.

Yes, this is what I use it for as I have fine straight hair. Also adds good volume. Best flat iron I have tried... blows Chi away.
