Thanx for putting "nanny" straight. I cringed when she spoke about her then 12 yr old. I hope that little girl found some positive person to help and encourage her in her naturalness. :-)Ur feedback help me take another BIG step towards this hairdryer as there are not many other African Queens out there giving reviews on it. I only wish to straighten my natural hair every now and again as i do not particularly like doing so. I would like to do this with the least damage possible.

You really shouldn't be using words like "worst" to describe this girls hair. I bet it's beautiful thick black hair that you just haven't figured out how to style yet. Hair doesn't have to be bone straight to be beautiful. Anyway, I am a woman with tight curls, having had natural hair for 2 years. The first time I used the INFINITI, I was pleased. No, it didn't make it straight as a flat iron by any means, but it was a quick and efficient way to dry and make my hair more straight.

I think this product would be horrible for long, thick hair. It will make you look like Hermione from Harry Potter if you use it (the early years). I have super fine long hair and it makes my hair look huge with tons of volume--which I love because my hair is so flat and boring. Also, it is really drying, so if you have thick hair chances are you want something that won't suck it dry. I only use it once and a while on 2nd day hair and you have to use it on dry hair not damp hair. I hope this helps, I bet it would be fun to see how huge your hair could get, but if you have thick hair and you're looking for beachy waves I don't think product will give it to you.

The hair is not virgin nor is it Brazilian. It gets nappy and matts up as soon as you wash or condition it. I've had real Brazilian hair before I wore it for 6 months then gave it away and it NEVER got matted. The more I washed it the better it looked. But this hair did the total opposite. It was nice and soft when I received it but it turned bad the 2nd week. And was demolished by the 4th week.

For me, it has lasted a good two months. The third month the frizz started returning, but still not bad. For that reason, I do it every three months. For context, my hair is long and the texture is curly and fine. It is frizzy all the time, even when I lived in a dry climate, and conditioner only helped so much. I now live in southern Florida where it's humid all the time. I was my hair every other day. I love this stuff, and one thing I do differently is use a wide barrel curling iron instead of a flat iron. It gives me lush, shiny curls after air drying, which is a closer match to my natural hair than a super straight look. Also, I dye my hair every 2 months. For me, it has lasted a good two months.

I too used it on my niece who was 10 and she was able to make the bracelets. I would say it would depend on the 13 year old. My other niece who was 13, was completely uninterested in this. Granted she is going through her teenage transition and is all about "coolness" and this didnt rank for her.

i just didnt like it at all, i have super fine hair as well! it has been in my hair dryer drawer and every know and then i try it....and still don't care for it. I end up using my curling iron. in the early 90's they had one on the market that was the bomb! I can't find anything like that ....with the bristles and blew out hot air while driving and it was no 100.00 one...it was like 20 or 30 dollars wish someone would manufacture something like that again....

I would say that if you use this item in a gentle way it should be ok. If used on low heat and used with the diffuser it should work well. However, if the child has very fine hair it may not be a good idea. So, I can't say one way or the other if this item would be recommended for a three year old. In thinking further about it I wouldn't think that a 3 year old would really need it for styling but maybe if the child needs a quick dry after washing that would be ok.

I would say that if you are the one doing her hair it would be fine. I use it on my hair and my 89 year old mother. It's better than a regular blowdryer for drying curly hair. I love mine. It doesn't blow the curl out and has two settings. I usually use the low setting.

Actually my daughter had hlighlightend hair and it was fine. There is a new product out though through the doctor. I think I left notes on it in another questions someone had. My daughter has suffered for year and now is all cleared up and they had a card from the company so it was almost free. Ask your doctor. If you cant fine it, and I will look for it in her files. Only trying to pass on helpful info as she suffered for years with her saboric dermatitis

I have very fine hair too, and these things do not work well for me. It isn't the product, but most likely the user at fault. Very soft, fine hair is difficult to keep curled or styled. Sorry I can't help you more. I would love to go back to my younger days and wear pigtails.....

I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not . It is good on my hair but i think in another type of hair such as black african hair it will be bad . if you use it before you already know that it is good on your hair weather it is imitation or not .actually i received 2 bottle the first one was good The second bottle was more liquid it is like chocolate milk may be it is expired or because of shipping anyway i applied the first one on my hair only (sorry for my English) I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not .

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

No it's not bad, you have to usea flat iron to bind it in hair. I haven't used what I boughtbut had it done by a beautician once before.

Hi Ann! I use Pravana on my 17 year old daughters hair and I use it on my hair. That being said, I did notice some breakage on my daughter's hair (similar to what you get after relaxing). Now, the relaxer is completely gone and her hair has grown about 3 inches (over a years time). I have been getting Chi thermal styling for a few years now so putting this over the top of that was fine. Bottom line (I'm sure this was not that helpful - sorry) is that the product says you can put it over a relaxer or color and you can but you will see some breakage on your ends for awhile until the relaxer is completely grown out. I prefer the Bio Ionic Agave Smoothing Treatment System and my daughter prefers Pravana. Hi Ann! I use Pravana on my 17 year old daughters hair and I use it on my hair.

I bought this product for my toddler girl. Shes like a type 2 and it works wonderful. Not greasy, not heavy. The best way I have found to use it is on really wet hair and later defuse hair o finger coils and defuse.

Thanks for this post. I have recently decided to stop putting relaxers in my hair. I am hoping that this flat iron will help keep it straight, especially during the summer months. I am trying to let my hair grow and get healthy. My 14 year old daughter also has a relaxer and I would love to stop putting them in her hair also. Wish me luck.

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't want to straighten my hair, just defrizz and loosen curls a bit. Has anyone tried it and cut out some steps? e.g. keeping in hair for less than 48 hours or cutting the blow dry/flat iron?
