Would this be safe to use on my 9yr old son's type 4a shoulder length curly hair? I would use it mostly to detangle and moisturize.

In my opinion, it would be safe for A CAUTIOUS PARENT to use on a 9 year old's hair. Use it on your first so that you will know how much heated this can get. Never allow it to be totally paused when doing his hair. I have also used this as a steamer on my face.

I would say yes... Just remember not to hold it directly on the scalp. It is safe for the steam to touch the scalp but it's very hot when you hold the lever to release more steam. Because its handheld, you can control the direction and the time you spend in each area. I hope this helps with your decision. It's a great product, I use it to moisturize, detangle and refresh my hair... Especially if it feels dry before adding products.

Remember, just as any steamer, the water is at boiling temperatures. Keep the steamer in the hair and it shouldn't be an issue. I use it on my hair, but sometimes to get the front I have to aim it to where the steam can hit my face. Sometimes the water jumps out at you (imagine an iron that has the steam function). I hope this helps. All in all, it is safe, just be careful not to make contact with the skin because it is hot. It didn't burn me, but your boy is 9 years old and I can't say I remember the difference of pain then and now... I hope this helps somewhat.

This would be safe for him, however, keep it an inch from the scalp. The device does emit warm steam that may be too hot for the scalp. You are in for awesome moisturized results.

Hi Lisa, I used it on my 5 year old's shoulder length natural ethnic hair and it worked fine. I made sure to keep it only on her hair and not let the steam touch her scalp. It worked perfectly for me.

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 use it exactly in that way. I mix it with water in my spray bottle and spray my hair daily, I find that with that application, my hair is better moisturized with this product than by using it alone. I highly recommend that application for use in your daughter's hair regimen.

In my 30s, I still break out easily from bad products in hair/skin. This hasnt been a problem at all with Axe. But since it's so thick, I dont think it ever comes into contact with my scalp. You'd have to thin it out with water and work a ton of product in your hair to the ever reach the scalp. If your son is under 20, please research on this product's safety in teens and young men. I've read articles that it can interfere with me testosterone. Could be BS, and the report may have only been for underarm products, but definitely worth checking into. If he hasn't tried garnier fructis products yet, I have nothing but good experiences with them. They're just too pricey

I only use it when I'm detangling in the shower and my hair is wet and completely saturated with conditioner to make it slippery. My hair is super long (waist length), and kinky/curly (it shrinks up to my shoulders when dry). It's very gentle and fast for me. My mom uses it on her straight relaxed hair when it's dry.

Yes It works I have 4b hair and I use it with my curl formers and my hair comes out soft, but do not use to much it will make you hair sticky

Since the bristles are flexible it doesn't put too much stress (constant pulling) on my girls hair & my hair compare to wide tooth comb. I use it on both dry and wet hair; it works for my hair type (straight), works on both dry & wet with my 8 yrs. old (3A- Curly Spiral) but not as good with my 10yrs old (3B-3C Curly Coiled); I find it harder to use on dry hair compare to when she just get out of shower.

I believe it is safe to use on your daughters hair, as I have used it on my 8 year old's head and it worked just fine. The product is very moisurizing and gentle. Some may have a reaction to the laurel or nettle in it so just keep that in mind.

I have a lot of hair but it is fine. Since it didn't work for mr I can't imagine it working on curly hair. I will throw in one more plug for the Macadamia nut de-tangler. If you don't want that buy some argan oil. It works wonders on your hair, face etc...or hemp oil. Just add a few drops to your conditioner...good luck

Yes, that is exactly what I use it for. I have natural hair 4b which means fluffy afro type hair (like Prince) A tiny bit goes a long way, can be used on all hair types as this ingredient was very popular in the 70's. It is very fluid.... if you like just pour a few drops in your favorite shampoo or conditioner. The repairative quality is instant try it on your ends to see what i mean. I also think this brand is superb. I will not try any other. Good luck.

I use it for my naturally wavy/curly hair. It works awesome!! It snaps on, never falls off.

I wouldn't recommend it. It is a hair pudding or cream, that leaves a bit of a residue in the hair. I wouldn't recommend using it for anything other than a wash and go or a roller set.

Yes it is safe. Its a gentle treatment and I use it on my 5 and 8 year old. Sometimes I keep it on overnite before washing out and it makes the hair soft and bouncy. Natural ingredients in it so no harm.

I have medium, straight hair that can be oily. I use it on my ends but not my roots and it is smoothing and smells amazing. I think it would be great for curly hair.

I've used it on my curly hair without straightening it and it worked just fine. I have type 3A curly hair, if that helps you out any. I do make sure it's brushed really well first, though.

Excellent for all of the above. You should also get the styling cream, very emollient, but not greasy. Hope this helped!! Chrissy, there is one specifically for thick curly hair(styling cream), in case you didn't see it.

YES! I have used it on my 14" Brazilian weave and my own hair which is shoulder length I have used it on my sis hair which is barely touching her shoulders and her hair gets that wavy look it's not too tight it falls nice looks very pretty and she gets many compliments! I will say if you do purchase do not turn to the highest heat IT WILL BURN and the iron does not make your hair look like old school crimps instead natural waves very pretty love this iron. So yes this is good for ALL lengths as I have experienced
