Does this work on coarse hair? I am African American and I need something that will get rid of short, thick facial hair. Thanks!

I have fine hair with some thick ones here and there. I find that it pulls the fine hairs out much easier than the thick ones. I sometimes have to go over an area several times to get the coarse hair. Or I give up and pluck that hair with tweezers. I don't mind because I mainly have fine hairs. I don't mind picking a few strays.

Yes, it works on any type of hair I promise, I have friends here that use it and they are of Mexican, Spanish, and Dark skin types. :)

I would think it would actually work better for thicker hair because it would be easier to grab.

Not being black, it's hard to say. I do have a somewhat curly beard though - not kinky. It seems to hook and pull up the hair better than any shaver I've ever had. I think that's why it makes my skin slightly pink after the shave. There is no discomfort from that though. So, guessing, I would say it's better than most.

Yes, it is great for hair especially something coarse like a beard, which wont get greasy looking easily!

I am African American and I used my sister's Tria for a month to see if it was worth it. We both have used it and IT WORKS!!! I loved it. Our skin tone is similar to Jada Pinkett Smith. My sister and I have very course black facial hair and we suffer from severe hair bumps. I used it for a month every other day. The difference is amazing!!!! Now, my results may be different because I was a fanatic about using it! I found that it was painful if I lasered over some hair. If you get rid of the hair it is more like a rubber band pop. I hope this helps

I don't know if this product is for African-American hair. I purchased this at an Asian owned store. I would look into it online but I don't know why it would not work. I also use the shampoo and Minoxidil.

Yes,it works on thin hair...I used it on mine(my hair is thin) and the products took better to my hair,than it did to my daughter's, who's hair is very thick and coarse.

Yes, this brush is wonderful for all hair types. I have thick medium length hair. One of my daughters has long coarse thick hair and my other daughter has long fine hair. We all have one and I would never use another brush! They are expensive but definitely worth the money!

It will work for any kind of Hair! I use my to cut my stubble before shaving? I used it to trim my eyebrows and around my ear. Also cutting the unwanted hair on my back. We use it to trim our dogs noses. It has combs to shorten your chest hair to any length. This is a great set of trimmers and was the best investment my Father and I made. Now if you wanted to have no hair on your chest then you would use this to shorten hair and then shave with a razor. Hope this help?

As my hair is a fine texture, this is all I have experienced. I certainly can't see that it wouldn't work on medium to thick hair. Maybe you would use a slightly higher heat setting, but not completely sure about that. Still start on low setting and work up, if necessary. I feel sure this would work on all types of hair. Also, in my experience, it is hard to find a 1/2 in. curling iron. I have short hair so did not need any larger curling iron. Your length of hair might also determine what size barrel curling iron you need, if that is in question. It really curls, it is not wimpy.

Francelis Yes. I am African American with thick shoulder length hair. My beautician does homecare and my hair is so thick that she can use almost scalding hot water and I can barely feel it on my scalp. I only use it for a wet set with rollers and I have had no problems with it drying my hair within one timer setting. The best thing about it us if is a comfortable heat that has never irritated my scalp.

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 really can't say for certain; my lip hair was very fine and it took it off very easily and cleanly. I'm going to venture a guess, though, that it would work on coarse upper lip hair BUT you should know it may look like you have stubble. It trims the hair, very close to the skin, but not as close as a razor would. That's what I'm basing my guess on - but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone else has experience with your question and can answer more definitively.

No I am not African American. The shampoo didn't work for me. Perhaps I didn't give it enough time to work. You should try it and see if it works for you.

Yes, I am African American. I just used it for the first time...I love it. It feels great in my hand and leaves my hair silky soft. I would suggest the one with the digital screen and heat dials, so you can adjust the heat setting. Purchase the Argan oil to go with it too, cuz you only get a sample with the flat iron.

Works very well for facial hair, especially corse hair. Shaver is very powerful, but is very smooth and doesn't nip the skin.

Mine has a trimmer, but I don't have facial hair. I use it for touch up trimming. I'm not sure how well it would work on a beard.
