Is the long barrel good for short hair?

Not really. The extra length is designed for long hair; on short hair it is awkward to wrap and adds bulk without benefit.

What size curls does it make?

With a 1-inch tapered barrel it makes loose waves to soft curls. For tight curls, a smaller non-tapered barrel works better.

Yes. It reaches 430°F, which is enough for thick and coarse hair, though it may take a few minutes to get there.

Yes. It turns off automatically after 60 minutes, which helps if you forget to unplug it.

It wraps more hair per pass and is better for long hair, but it is heavier and less suited to tight curls.
