Nope, NOT Designed for Short Hair
I have hair with lots of body, which translates to incredibly rebellious hair that does whatever it wants unless confronted by a professional. Right now, it's short, which means often pieces stick out in the oddest and most annoying way. I have a curling/straightening iron, but it's designed for longer hair. So when I saw this, I was pretty excited - finally, I can get those obnoxious pieces under control.<br /><br />I was relying on that manufacturer's statement " Q: Will this work for short hair?<br /><br />A: Yes! Our product is designed to be used on all hair types and all hair length. So It does work perfectly on short hair! "<br /><br />Well, OK, maybe on someone who has hair longer than three inches from their head. You have to run the heated comb/brush through your hair for it to work. The head of the comb/brush is 1.75" wide (almost 2 inches at the widest point); the "tines," which I assume are designed so as to avoid burns, are an inch deep and unbending.<br /><br />You have to hold your hair ("and tighten it from the roots" according to the instructions) while running the heated comb/brush through your hair to straighten. This means your hand needs a portion to grasp in addition to the area required to actively comb/brush. With short hair, if you've got, say, 2-3 inches of hair growing from your head thanks to expensive maintenance, that means you've got the comb/brush, your hand, and you're done - no room to actually perform any action.<br /><br />All credit for having instructions included, a lovely box in which the product was packaged - but I'm really taken aback that the manufacturer would think this product would work with short hair given the size. It may be awesome for long hair (which would have been in 1999, I think, for me) - but I cannot say it works for short hair. At all.
