Has anyone use it to straighten their hair? My hair has a funky wave and I have to blow dry it and then use a flat iron to straighten it.

I have a cowlick in the middle of the back of my head and the hair parts there (real cute). My hair is very thin and coarse (also real cute). I wear it about 3-4 inches around my head (I hate taking a long time to fix my hair). I can barely wrap the hair around the barrel of the brush but it straightens out the cowlick and makes the hair lie down without going flat. It is expensive but does the work of a curling iron or straightener it just takes practice.

I sent mine back...I wasn't very pleased with it. It seemed that it didn't do much for my hair, and mine is fine also.Hope this helps! I found a better one at TJ Maxx!

I like mine. It does flatten your hair down to your head, but it is great for just brushing for pulling hair into a pony tail. If left down, I go through it with a lighter brush for volume. My hair is fine and wavy.

I agree with bagm 100%. This diffuser is the best i have tried and my hair is already curly. I have also let friends with wavy and straight hair try it and they get such beautiful loose curls and beach waves. Shopping for a hairdryer to fit this diffuser can be tedious but to me the end result is worth it.

I use this product in my hair that is naturally wavy (almost curly) along with mousse before I blow it out straight. I have thin, fine hair. I don't put it in my hair and let it air dry, wouldn't work for my hair type.

Straighten your hair with it? Like If you have curls? No. It just paints your hair and it makes it a little hard.

Yes, it does (as long as you blow dry and/or flat iron). I've noticed when I use it one day and don't feel like washing my hair the next day it is still very straight. I just barely need to touch it up with a flat iron. It's a very good product.

Like a wash and condition. You then set the hair in rollers to straighten and flatten. You can use a hot iron on it (which we did because my sister's bright red, curly, Irish hair has real tight curls and waves). Her hair came out straight, and flat. But with every wash, it is a bit fluffier. She uses a hot iron on it after wash to style it. It is still straight, after three months, easy to style, but is getting fluffier all the time. It is almost as poofy as originally, before straightening. The straightening made the hair so much softer and manageable. Well worth the experience.

I only bought the flat iron to straighten my hair. However, I tried to curl some strands to be able to answer your question. Although I am not familiar with the technique as I have never in my entire life curled my hair, I can say that with little skill I had, I was able to do some loose curls.

I have in between hair it left it kind of straigt but not as straight with a regular size flat iron. I think since you the heat is set at some random temp. It did not help taming any frizz

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!

Hi Janice,Over time, the longer you use it, the straighter it will remain. I have pretty wavy (somewhat frizzy) hair and if I go long enough in between, my waves come back, just not as much as they once were. I'm ok with this though. Hopefully this helped a little! Good luck!

It's a strong-hold product; it forms a cast over your hair (IF you let it dry naturally and don't touch your hair--blow drying even w a diffuser defeats the process for me and I lose definition. ). To get slightly wavy hair to curl, I'd check out a texturizer (one of those beachy waves products) to use before applying this gel, Scrunch the gel into your wet hair, and in your case, you could cup each handful of curls (without moving them) just to reinforce the curl while you blow dry w a diffuser, and that should bring out your waves/curls nicely. When your hair is completely dry, turn your head upside down and scrunch your hair to release the gel cast and your hair should be bouncy :) It's a strong-hold product; it forms a cast over your hair (IF you let it dry naturally and don't touch your hair--blow drying even w a diffuser defeats the process for me and I lose definition. ).

It's been my experience that the diffuser attachment that you put on a traditional hair dryer will eventually start popping off, which can get really annoying. Also, traditional dryers seem to blow harder (they seem to be intended for straightening hair). This hair dryer seems to blow a little softer, which doesn't destroy your curls/waves.

I always use it without blow drying. I apply it to wet hair and let it air dry. I have long slightly naturally curly hair and rely on it to help "scrunch" up my curls a little tighter and hold them. My bangs are completely stick straight and it works great on them to help hold their style too! I have used the product for more than ten years and I love it!

I have never used it on wet hair. I supposed the heat will dry the hair, but I imagine you will have to pass the iron over the hair several times once it's dry to get the full straightening effect. However, on dry hair, I love it. Straightens very well without heat damage.
