My hair is about 6" below my shoulders and somewhat thick. I'm concerned about the drying time on my kind of hair. Any suggestions or comments?

Hi! The idea behind these rollers is that you use them when your hair is completely dry, otherwise the steam is ineffective. If you want rollers for wet hair, you needn't spend the extra cash on a steam system, just get regular foam rollers. My hair is long, and medium thickness, and I had a decent curl after leaving them in for about 30 minutes. Hope this helps.

The steam dries relatively fast. I leave mine in for about 10 min. and take them out and am ready to go! Shoulder length hair. As soon as I take my curlers out, I tossel and spritz with volumizer or hairspray, until I am ready to style.

Make sure your hair is dry to begin with. Let roller sit on steamer for 10 seconds so it has plenty of steam to get through all the hair. Roll it good and tight. Put the cap on the steamer for a couple seconds to get it hot and then clamp it on the roller. Then your hair is being steamed from both directions. Let it set in the rollers 20-30 min. The longer the better. Once you take the rollers out, put your hair dryer on the lowest setting and on COOL. The cool hair will set the curls so they will last longer. I have thick hair too and the weight of it can pull out the curls. You can also lightly hair spray the curls and use the cool setting on hair dryer to give the curls extra support. I LOVE these curlers. Can be a pain to get in the back side of your head but man the results are so worth it! My hair dresser has me bring my set every time because she loves the results too! It seems like they wouldn't work that well but they really do as long as you don't take them out too soon and you roll them tight. Good luck!

I put less hair in each curler.. Also make sure you don't get it too wet. (leaving it on the steamer too long)No worries about the thick hair. You can get an instant curl by wrapping the curl and then on low blowdry for a few seconds. Use the cool setting.Something else you can do with these curlers is: gel or hairspray BEFORE you roll your hair. The curls are amazing and they last all day! Best of all, These do not harm your hair in anyway! You can order extra rollers of the size you use most. Hope this helps. My hairs is long past the middle of my back and I get great results.

The set comes with some very large rollers which would work good for your length of hair. As far as drying time, I usually wait until they are cool to touch about 10 minutes for a good set. I also use mouse or a heat activated product on my hair before curling as my hair is super straight. Good Luck!

For best result it should be dry.To speed the drying process you can use hair dryer on low/mid temperature setting making sure it is not too hot.

Yes I would, my hair is thick. I use the higher temperature and I am dry in about 45 minutes.

I have short hair, but I've been told that it should be no problem using it to wrap longer hair. Your hair should stay in place while drying if wrapped properly.

In my opinion, no. I have very thick course hair, and it weighed it down. By the next day it was greasy and flat. If you want to try something nice, try Suave Humectant Moisture Shampoo and conditioner, it leaves my hair bouncy and shiny. HTH!

I think shoulder length hair will work great. It's like using a flat iron, only the barrel will curl your hair better. I hope this helped you.

I have fairly thick hair and it sticks fine, honestly I think it'd likely fall flat. I'm not an expert, this based on what I think not what's actual. Sorry.

evening LoriI cant answer that honestly. My hair is course and thick. Its the best hair dryer Ive owned. Its quiet, it doesn't friz my hair. Its fast drying.

Yes I now have shoulder length layered hair and it still does a great job. The vintage curls it can give look great any length. I'd you want tighter curls you just pin them up till they cool down. But I normally just curl and go at this length.

I, myself have longer then shoulder length hair and it works perfectly. I can't attest to short hair but can't imagine there would be a problem. I highly suggest this product for curly hair again, I have curly hair!

My hair is very thick and abundant, this hair dryer dry my hair very quickly. I'm very sure it is more quickly for thin hair. I love it.

I have very thick, curly hair and my hair is never frizzy after drying with my Babyliss hairdryer. However, I use good hair products, such as Lanza Healing Oil on my damp hair (about the size of a quarter) before drying. Works well every single day!!!

Breanna, I love the deep waver. My hair is long and no longer holds a curl from a curling iron, by the time I clamp the end of my hair and roll up there is so much hair that the top just doesn't get curled, even using small sections. My hair is to the middle of my back (I'm 5'7") and has long layers to help with the weight. I would say hair needs to be at least shoulder length to get the correct wave. If you google this product then hit images, my hair gets those kind of waves. You can spray and scrunch for an even curly effect. I'm 100% satisfied. Styling is quick and it lasts

We have very similar hair, mine is also thick, wavy and well beyond my shoulders. I got the 1.5" and it's really easy to use, just like brushing your hair.

I have fairly short fine hair, so I squirt it into my palm, rub my hands together and work it through my hair while it's still a little damp. Then I blow dry my hair with a round brush. It works better for me if my hair isn't too wet.

Check out my natural sistahs on YouTube quick and easy blowout for a demo. It works for my 4a 4c hair. I have low porosity hsir so most of my hair is dry before I ger to it. I make sure a comb slips through it with ease, wet or dry, heat protectant on top of whatever moisturizing system you have going on. Then I use this straighten my hair...more like stretch my hair. It's prep for flat iron if that's your next step. It's not bone straight. I don't want it to be. It gives a good tension blow dry or tension blow dry look.

My hair is about shoulder lenght so it isn't very hard for me. It does not seem heavy either. Its hollow in the center of the brush which helps with drying quicker.
