WHICH DENMAN BRUSH HAVE TO SELECT FOR CURLY HAIR?

Denman brush for curly hair

If you are thinking of buying a Denman brush for your curly hair but are not sure which one to choose, this article will help you. Below I give you the keys to know which Denman brush to choose according to your hair type.

The first thing to be clear about is that the Denman brush is not designed for curly hair, but for styling. However, it has proven effective in defining curl, which is why it has become popular in the curly method field.

Currently, the brand (partly taking advantage of the boom that the method has given it, in my opinion) offers eight products for curly hair:

  • The Original Styler: 7 Rows (D3), 9 Rows (D4), and the 5 Row Long Handle (D143).
  • The mini styler: smaller than the original and only 5 rows.
  • The fluid styler: a version of the styler with fewer tips, 7 rows (D31) or 9 rows (D41).
  • The motorized paddler: for detangling and brushing.
  • The tamer: untangle.
  • The finisher: to touch up dry hair.
  • The edge trainer: to touch up the tips.
  • Combs: spikes and wide teeth.

TO DEFINE CURLS

If you are looking for a brush that defines curls, you should buy the original styler. How many lines? It depends on the type of hair you have. If you have thick and frizzy hair (4A-4C) or in large amounts, you are probably better off with fewer lines, like the long handle or the free-flowing styler, which has more spaced beards.

If, on the other hand, you have little or very fine hair, more lines will be better for you, like the original styler. Why? It’s all about grip – the more rows/spikes, the better the hair grips, meaning the less it slips. Therefore, if you have a lot of hair or very curly hair, with many rows, it will be difficult to maneuver. If you have doubts, the best thing you can do is buy the 9 rows and adapt them to your needs because they are removable and you can delete rows.

 

I have to say that I am based on my own experience (little and very fine hair, with fewer rows it was more difficult to control the hair) and the reviews of users with more hair, thicker and more curly. , who compared the Denman to other detangling brushes, such as the Teezer Tangle. On the contrary, on Denman’s website, they indicate the original 9-row combers that are also suitable for thick hair.

Untangle

It is important to note that Denman Brush Original Styler 7 or 9 rows are not good for detangling thick or frizzy hair (neither is your paper). If you want a detangling brush and you have this type of hair, bet on its tangle tamer, specific for this function and this hair.

The motorized paddler and finisher or edge tamer are not applicable if you follow the method and are more geared (like all, in fact) to styling with a hairdryer (not a diffuser).

In this article, we explain what makes this brush so special and what type is best suited to your hair.

In the book Curly Girl Method by Lorraine Massey, you can read that a brush does not fit into the Curly Girl Method hair routine. But there are rules … with which to be creative. ? Because what if there is a different brush than the standard brush? Doesn’t that separate your curls, but instead ensures beautiful curls without damaging your hair and causing it to frizz? That brush exists, it’s called Denman Brush. And Denman loves your hair!

DENMAN BRUSH AND WHAT ITS SECRET?

A Denman brush is a brand of hairbrush that is available from many online hairdressing stores, such as afrobeautyshop.

The Denman brush is famous among curls, precisely because it is suitable for curly hair. The brush promises to detangle hair more easily without breaking or frizz, giving your hair a nice curl definition and extra volume.

Even for type 4 curly women, who almost all forgo brushes, this brush can help detangle hair without causing frizz.

What makes the Denman brush different is that you can adjust the brush. You can remove the rows yourself, allowing you to fully tailor the brush to your hair and needs.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DENMAN BRUSHES

Before you go to the first best online store to toss a Denman toothbrush in your shopping cart, it’s good to know that there is no single type of brush. On the contrary, there are many different types of Denman brushes. Like your curl type, a Denman brush has different categories to suit different hair types and different needs for your hair.

The brushes from the ‘Original Styler’ collection are the most widely used. These brushes have round head nylon pins arranged in rows. The pins are on a semicircular bed of red rubber. You have small, medium, and large variants.

WHICH DENMAN BRUSH DO I NEED?

The Denman type of brush you are looking for for your curls is an ‘Original Styler’ Type D brush. When decides which brush you need, you mainly look at the number of rows and pins on the brush.

  • The brushes Denman D3 and D4 with little space between pins are best suited to improve the definition of the curls.

It looks at first glance that D3 and D31 and D4 and D41 are similar to each other. But there is a quiet difference between these brushes. The structure, length, and thickness of your hair determine how many rows and pins you need, and therefore what type of Denman brush you need.

THE DENMAN BRUSH: D3 AND D31

Both the Denman Brush D3 and D31 have seven rows of pins. With their medium size, they are best for short to medium hair. The difference between these types of the brush is as follows:

THE DENMAN BRUSH: D4 AND D41

Denman Brushes D4 and D41 have nine rows of pins. Due to their large size, they are suitable for medium to long hair. The difference between these types of the brush is as follows:

  • Denman Brush D4 has more pins, which are arranged closer together. Therefore, this Denman brush is suitable for improving the definition of your curls.

DENMAN BRUSH FOR TYPE 2A, 2B AND 2C CURLS: WAVY HAIR

For people with type 2 curl, it is often more important than the curls become a coherent whole than it is to undo the tangles. Your hair is often finer and thinner too. So the following applies the closer together the hairpins, the more curl definition. Therefore, the Denman Brush D3 or D4 is very suitable for this, depending on the length of your hair.

THE DENMAN BRUSH FOR TYPE 3A, 3B AND 3C CURLS: CURLY HAIR

People with curl type 3 are between curl type 2 and curl type 4 for the Denman brush type. Like type 4 curl coils, you have a lot of curls and therefore a lot of tangles. For short to medium hair, a D31 brush is also a good option for you. Do you have medium to long hair? So we recommend D41. Do you want to give your curls an extra touch? Then you can also go for the Denman brush types that promise to improve the definition of your curls: D3 or D4.

THE DENMAN BRUSH FOR CURLS TYPE 4A, 4B AND 4C: COILED HAIR

Blessed with type 4 curl? People with curly hair have a lot of curls close together. Very pretty, but unfortunately it also means that you spend a lot of time detangling your hair. You can use an afro comb, but a Denman brush is also suitable where the rows and the hairbrushes are far apart. D31 is your match! If you find that you cannot run the brush through your hair properly, you can cut a few extra rows. This way your hair won’t stick and it won’t break.

TIPS FOR USING THE DENMAN BRUSH

Hopefully, now you know which brush you need for your curls. To make sure you get the most out of your Denman brush, we’d like to share a few more tips:

  • Always use a slip detangling conditioner before brushing.
  • Really take the time to brush your hair. Take it easy to avoid unnecessary hair pulling.
  • Toss your wet hair, divide it into sections and brush it strand by strand.
