HOW I USE THE DENMAN BRUSH | STYLING 2B/2C HAIR

In this video I'm showing you guys the best way to style my 2B/2C hair with the denman brush. This brush is a very popular tool to help style, shape and define curls. I find for me, it works best for giving me definition over volume. The denman brush also helps me with frizz control because my hair is dry and needs moisture and help to tame the frizz.

I just bought my brush and loving it.. the perm didn’t work underneath my hair but the denman helped so much to curl and get the ringlets that i wanted.. I wanted to see a step by step 2nd to 3rd day curl refresh routine

[@elisacampanelli4332]

hey i naturally have 3a/2c hair, i would recommend using the denman brush first then going through and scrunching the mouse in (not raking). it really just helps to define the curls and lock them in while also avoiding frizz

[@ByKristinaStudio]

Thank you for the tip!

[@celestecisneros554]

What mouse do you use?

[@Emilymk97]

Thanks for this natural curl tip. I was looking specifically for the order I should use the product and brush.

[@icecreamcake6238]

Your hair looks really pretty! I'm pretty sure you could even call it 2c/3a with those ringlets being able to form.

[@ByKristinaStudio]

Aw thanks! I just categorize it in type 2 because if I just scrunch I get more wave than ringlets haha

[@keylimetea]

Right!

[@Lucy-yb7dy]

You can't define the curl/wave type when styled. It's not 2c/3a, it's still 2b/c.

[@fifilamour1344]

@@Lucy-yb7dy if you hair ringlets, even with a denmin brush it's not 2b. Many people's hair does not define without styling, their hair is not magically straight.

[@Nachteules]

A great video! Thank you! It really helps that you included several techniques and some great tips. :) It can be misleading at first when someone with naturally coily hairy just glides the Denman brush through their hair and they get those gorgeous curls. My hair needs a lot of help to forn and maintain a coil since I lost a lot of my curl pattern which is why I prefer your technique. 🙂

[@ByKristinaStudio]

You're welcome!! I find I get a softer finish when I glide through and flick the brush at the end - I'm envious of those who can get beautiful ringlets doing that technique! I'm glad you found this helpful!

You could be using products too heavy for your hair. It's hard to say without knowing your full routine

Do you ever flip your head over and back and forth to shake your curls out? I call it the rock star head flip lol. I used to do it When I had curly hair and it was completely dry. It separates the curl and gives amazing volume

Haha yes I do that sometimes!! It definitely helps with volume especially after diffusing!

I do curl twists with Denman brush but do it differently, twisting from top of hair. I’ll have to try your way next time and see if it works better. Your hair looks great.

I have never seen anyone use the diffuser that way. I always placed my hair inside the diffuser. I need to get another blow dryer and diffuser so I can have my hair naturally curly.

I either use a refreshing foam like the not your mothers, or I’ll completely dampen the top layer and do finger coils to give it the illusion of a fresh wash!

[@ByKristinaStudio]

It could be a lot of reasons! My first instinct would be to say you need to add styling product in soaking wet hair. If it's frizzy when it's wet, it'll be frizzy when it's dry. It's also super important to do deep conditioning treatments etc. to help improve damaged hair! Not sure what yours is like personally - but just some thoughts! 😊

[@musclecars60]

Can't you literally do the same thing with any brush?

[@Thelishanoelle]

If I remember correctly from other curly hair videos, I think this denman brush has a curve to it. When you drag your wavy/curly hair over this shape it helps curl it more. A bit like when you use scissors to curl ribbon on a gift

[@Sylverose89]

damn, that's like what? 4 hours? D: the point of wavy hair is to let it curl to save time. Try spraying aloe vera juice in towel-dried hair and use the same drying technique. 15 mins max and done.

There’s a point of having wavy hair...? The reason you style it with a brush is because some people have extremely undefined/frizzy hair, towel drying it will just enhance the frizz?
