The Denman Brush can help women with FINE WAVY Hair get SERIOUS Curl Definition!

[@Cassytava]

My grandmother taught me this in the late 1980’s. Definitely not a new technique, just a well kept secret.

[@jenneanalvarez5266]

I was also taught this by my grandma. With the old school rat tail comb lol

[@MsLilyFay]

Lucky you. I was just always the odd one out with the rats nest on top of my head, instead of flat hair, like everyone else. ^^""

[@eileensongs]

I WAS DOING THIS IN THE 70S AND 80S AND NO DIFUSSER, LOL

[@bluezy710]

Not every hair works without diffuser. Your hair is curlier than you think. Curls activate easily @@eileensongs

[@bluezy710]

Wow! lol Thank God there are better brushes these days, healthier to our hair. I actually like the Tangle Teezer even more than the Denman@@jenneanalvarez5266

[@laurelmenne1317]

We did this in the 60’s before we went to the beach. Some magazine said we would get more natural lighting (and damage) from our Sun-In if we had curls. And yes, lightner and gel turned to a goopy mess in the sun. Great memories though. Thanks for the updated version.

Hi Gabi Greetings from the UK. Just wanted to let you know that Ive tried this technique twice so far and it DEFINITELY works on my wavy hair texture too. Im so impressed with the results. For reference I have thick, frizzy dense wavy 2B hair. My waves naturally are wonky and unstructured I watched the technique from your video about 3 times to make sure . Your instructions and guidance were so clearly explained I couldnt really go wrong. Made sure I did this on soaking wet hair that was well lubricated with a leave in conditioner plus a hair oil. ( my hair type benefits from lots of moisture). The only thing I did differently was to glaze the curls with a curl creme gel AFTER I had formed them with the Denman. Takes me about 20 mins to do on carefully sectioned hair then 15 mins to hover diffuse. I let it air dry the rest of the way. Has worked so well for me. My hair looks so defined. Many many thanks. Your channel is so good and you have a very relatable style with relevant content for all us wavies whether we choose to smooth and straighten or embrace the wavy texture. So helpful. Keep up the good work Gabi and thanks again. 💕

[@janicemoore4659]

THANK YOU for a detailed and informative video! My hair texture is almost identical to yours and this video is the BEST on KZbin. I finally know how to use my Denman brush and get beautiful, defined curls!

[@WondersNeverCease]

Someone’s momma or grandma most have told them about this technique. We did this back in the day with a brush handle. 💙

@@greyscalesx I'm 37. I'm not the TIKTOK generation. LOL. I didn't even have a cell phone until half way through University and it was a flip phone. I'm just surprised it worked on my wave (and not at all curly) hair

[@raven_libra]

I have curly on the bottom and wavy on the top. Been doing the curly girl method for two months and using this brush and doing this technique has helped my top layer become more curly.

[@rubym6258]

wow I need to try this. my hair is the same way & I’ve always hated how it makes my roots look flat

[@helenl7967]

I have a combo of wavy and some curly areas. My hair is fine with thin/ low density. I have definitely found if I dry or even scrunch style upside down my hair gets frizzy and definitely messes up my curl pattern. I can scrunch when applying products but have to redo the back where I have cowlick. I also do better with a gel after leave in conditioner in terms of hold and anti-humidity. The new Verb Foam Gel works pretty well for me. I also like the Tre Luxe line. For heavy duty anti humidity hold Ouidad Anti humidity gel. All these need to be scrunched out with a lightweight hair oil unless you like the hard cast feel and look.

[@surrendertoflow78]

I keep seeing the Denman used like this in videos but I found the Scrunch It brush WAY easier than the Denman to create serious coils that last for days (with gel and diffusing) in my naturally wavy hair. The Scrunch It is actually designed to make coils so it’s less awkward and more effective than Denman for that purpose. I seriously don’t understand why everyone isn’t using/talking about the Scrunch It brush because it was a game changer for me! My Denman went into storage as soon as I got the Scrunch It brush! You should check it out and tell people about it! (I’m not an influencer so no one would care what I say, lol)

[@Beebop_areebop]

I strongly agree! The scrunch it brush has been a game changer for me and I don't understand why more people, particularly influencers, aren't talking about it.

[@meghanarmstrong2422]

[@cindyms.1237]

I was wondering how to do this with the brush. I ended up just scrunching it because my hair kept getting tangled up in the brush. I'm going to try this on my next wash day. I bought all of the Keratin products from your link and I'm looking forward to using them with the denman brush technique. Thank you

[@beachs7210]

This is totally my hair!! Fine but lots of it, and air drying looks horrible because of the wave and frizz. I need to try this!!

[@cookbookworm]

Omg, your hair is JUST like you described- I have LOTS of hair, but the texture is fine and for years I thought my hair was just frizzy, but straight, lol. I just got a denman brush and have been using it to brush my wet hair to define the waves, but now I want to try this technique! My hair is about the same length as yours too, so many curly hair videos show super long hair, so this is very helpful!

[@dajanavidakovic5757]

The Denman brush is a miracle tool. The best tool to define my daughters large curls, but also the fastest way to style my very straight curtain bangs. :D Love the Denman.

[@jmbal925]

You are so pretty! Your hair looks gorgeous when straight/ or wavy / curly!! Whatever you do , works

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You are so sweet. Thank you so much for such a kind message and for supporting me channel. I read every comment and it means a lot to me.

[@eatxaxcookiextay]

Thank you for calling the "disorganized wave" pretty even though its not the look you are going for in this video. So many videos glamorize ringlets and demonize disorganized wavy hair and it definitely makes me feel at times that my hair is not good enough.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Said it before, and just for reference say it again. We are hair twins. Same fine hair medium density wavy hair. Although some of my strands are curly, some are straight, most are wavy and gets frizz and humidity will reverse a perfect blow out. When my hair was long I would twist it and let it air dry into beachy waves. My hair really grew a lot during the summer so recently started to let it air dry again. I now use a leave-in curl conditioner and finger twist my locks into ringlets. Looks great the first day. Second day has a lot of body with a big wave and still like it. Will have to try the Denman technique to see if the curl has more lasting power.

[@discombobulatedfishbowl7548]

I tried with a vent brush and got the same effect. My hair is fine though, so can't say it'll work for everyone. I'm not into Shirley Temple ringlets so when my hair is dry I carefully separate them. I can't wait to use my brush upside down! Didn't think of that. Thanks!

[@buddyholly4672]

My aunts used to do this to our hair when we were kids just using a comb and letting it air dry without product. I dont think you need a fancy denman brush. I started doing this in the spring just using my hands. I would get nice big loose curls that were shiny and not frizzy. But i guess it depends on your hair

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes you’re absolutely right. The Denman is trending right now so I used that brush to show the technique but the key point in this entire video is that you need to smooth the hair and coil it around something. I actually want to try it with a round brush. I feel like that would work super well too. Thanks for leaving a comment and for watching!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

[@yolandathomas6452]

I use my Denman brush with the handle facing down. Section hair from ear to ear, and pile on top of head, twirl the bottom sections of hair - in the bristles - and slowly pull the brush out of your hair (going toward your waist). Take the hair from the top of your head, and twirl sections of hair around the bristles of the brush, twirling downward until you have a head of spirals. Let air dry..then run run fingers through to loosen the spirals.

[@Missycat914]

Excellent video, and I did it and was very happy with my hair. This is very time consuming, and my Dyson air wrap does the same thing.

I was so confused by the whole Denman brush thing for so long! I thought "well, my hair is already plenty wavy when I let it do it's own thing, why should I try this weird fad?" But y'all, I finally tried it today. It was weird at first and I didn't know if I was doing it right for the first couple clumps, but the results speak for themself. I'm a Denman brush convert for life.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

[@OddlyWonderful]

You are my wavy hair twin, so I am glad to know this will work on wavy hair! My density is coarse though so I am hoping it will still work well with a different texture

[@kimjarrett1003]

I've found I get decent spirals underneath but my top layers (growing out my silver) have less definition. I can use the denman on top layers only and it's definitely an improvement. Starting with the "bounce curl" brush lately to see if it's any better.

[@Good2AT]

My hair is fine and thin but a little curlier than yours. My hair dries to fast to use the brush this way but I love the idea! I definitely need this brush however!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You can try to use a spray bottle to help keep it moist. It should only take about 5 minutes to get through your hair when you get the hang of it.

Another great vid! My hair has become more and more wavy through my adult life. It began when I was pregnant with my daughter...(hormones?). It has continued to become much more frizzy during menopause...(hormones again?) My hair texture is similar to yours. I have a good bit of hair, but it is baby fine. I can sometimes get my hair into spirals, if it doesn't decide to FRIZZ. I will try this technique. Thank you!

I would not say this is "a new, different way". I remember my mom had a similar brush and she would twist her hair around it. I remember trying to do it and getting my hair wrapped all around that orange and white brush lol. Also, waves are curls. If they weren't curls, you wouldn't get a spiral curl when you style the hair without heat.

[@liaasmr7]

what I found made a much bigger difference is when you unravel it out instead of just pulling the brush down, when you pull it down it basically just ruins the curl that you just made with the brush handle.

[@perla5465]

2 things 1, how do you look so different in every video, it’s amazing 2, if you have straight or wavy hair you can twist it (not too tight) but then you have to hold until dry which is very time consuming

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Do you think I look different? Lol 😂 I look pretty different with curly versus straight hair styles. If your hair is straight you can also do a wet set with curlers. It works well but takes forever to dry if you have porous hair.

I can get natural ringlets in the underside of my hair and the top is usually slightly wavy, sometimes straight no mater the products or how I dry it. My hair is long, ranging past my shoulders to the beginning of my ribs, so I know my hairs weight has a bit to do with that. Makes me wonder if using this brush like this could make a difference for the length of my hair now before I cut it.

My hair has like a wavy curl.. cause if my hair gets damp the shorter hair will spiral curl … my baby new hair in the front like to try to curl up on me and sometimes it’s hard to get straightened out.. and when I have bangs the curl on their own but they want to curl out cause I got a cowlick in the front in the middle of my head.. so I have to really work at it..

Hi Gabi, looks awesome! I have an off-topic question I have very similar hair to yours; I have an appointment next week for a keratin express to get me through the next couple months of humidity.

Gabi, Do you prefer this technique over the Tymo? I think the Tymo would be faster, however, you don't get a curl on the very ends unless you go back and bend them in. I love the tymo, and have about the same wave pattern as you.

I think the reason it works so well with Denman is that the ventilated plastic bristles brushes and smooths the hair into the perfect ribbon for curling onto the handle. Truthfully though, I’ve never tried to do this with another brush. Definitely give it a shot and see if you get the same results. It’s a great question!
