I have very short hair (5 in or so all around) and I had a hard time using the machine and getting my hair straight with it. I just got mine and only used it once so maybe there is some trick to it. I have to say though it looked better than when I would flat iron it though.

I have medium length hair so I can't say how it would style that length.l know I have curly hair and I have a hard a hard time making curls. My hair tends to be straight because it dries so fast.The drier is light not bulky.

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.

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.

It's probably easier on longer hair but would probably work fine on shorter hair as well. Mine is shoulder length with shorter layers throughout and I find it easy to use.

Yes, It worked for me. My hair is also short and I only use it for top and front, sometimes I used leftover for second time (need to seal the bottles tightly), the results are not as good as the first time but still get some curls.

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 tried it, and it didn't work for me. I say this because it took a long time to style, and also had to use a straightener afterwards. So really, it's not as easy as the informercial claims...for girls with extremely curly hair that is.

I do but you've got to turn yourself like a contortionist. But if you're able to find the right position, Works just fine. Hair thickness is an issue, though.

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

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.

Depends how short. It's a bit too wide for really short hair, mine is about two inches below shoulder length so since it has a rather wide barrel on it, if it's too short it will be hard to curl it. It will also not make any curls on really short hair, but it will give body!

No :/ that's what I got it for but you can't. You have to get a short haired with and a ponytail extension clip on. And clip that to the short hair for the desired look

I think if you are contemplating it, your hair must be long enough. I have used this for many years through many hairstyles and it is my favorite styling tool. They were hard to find for a while so I was glad to see it on Amazon.

It depends on your hair type. My hair is shoulder length & thin so yes its difficult, but when I had extensions it worked fine because of the wide plate. BUT its only good to straighten hair. Hope this helps!

Yes, my hair is thick and past my shoulders and this is the 2nd one I have owned. I use straightening products in my hair as well so maybe it make it easier.
