When I first started using the denman brush, I felt like it was awkward too, but I started taking bigger sections and just going through fast. That’s when I got better definition.

@publicserviceannouncement47772 жыл бұрын
Melinda, if you "saturate" your hair, with water from a good spray bottle, before you pass the denman brush through then you get better curl clumping. I'll try the bigger sections and see if it helps. :)

Hey Hey! I am not even at the end of the video, I'll def watch the rest, but I have a tip! I have 2a-2c hair and I've figured out that if you brush bigger sections of your hair with the Denman brush, and then don't fully scrunch it but kinda hold it in your hand and bounce it around in your hand it won't look nearly as wonky!!! I also put curl cream (rake it through my hair) and gel, and I put a good palm sized amount in the section that I'm brushing, brush it, and kinda plop it in my hand and bounce it around before I scrunch it and then add MORE gel. I hope this makes sense! (I don't mean plop with a towel I mean kinda hold it in my hand)

I'm a 2b also, and the Denman works for me if I pull towards the ceiling and put tension on each section, or if I style upside down. However, much, MUCH better than the Denman is the Behairful brush. I have not touched the Denman since I got the new brush. The Behairful smooths my frizz, adds a lot of volume at the crown, and I get actual ringlets!

A tip! (if it works for you) For the first time this week I tried "refreshing" my hair. I had washed it and done the curly method thing etc. and got mostly-loose waves before going to bed. Then I heard of refreshing--I used to just let my hair go flat after that first day. So on day 2, by making them damp and just scrunching again.... my hair got SO WAVY and even curly (3a). I like post-wash day curls even better now. It must be that there isn't too much water weighing them down. I think if I used the brush too, it might have worked even better.

I have 2b/c with some 3a curls and the Denman brush has been the hardest technique to learn. Lately I take a section and brush down vertically rather than horizontal. I twist the brush while brushing the section and it twists into a ringlet that stays that way when dry. When I brush out perpendicular from my head my hair looks straight and dries barely wavy. I keep trying though:) Your results looked good.

There’s no specific routine that you need to follow. What I can suggest is look and listen on what your hair need. Refresh simply means you’re not shampooing and conditioning your hair. Instead just dampen your hair with hair spary then restyle again. You can use cream,gel,mousse,mist. Basically like the usual styling products you’re using after your wash day. Sometimes less product cause there is still some product left from your wash day. Some products can be reactived when wet so just scrunch your curls. Hope this helps.
