Scandal aside, MopTopMavens blog is an awesome resource for natural hair women. She was kind enough to break down the different uses for each Denman brush and how to get the most out of each brush! I bet you didn’t know a Denman could help with blow drying, did you? She shares more tips and tricks in the below post, enjoy!
All About Hair: How To Use A Denman Without Damaging Your Hair
- Make sure the hair has been thoroughly detangled with a seamless comb prior to blow-drying
- Towel dry the hair carefully; the hair should be damp, not soaking wet while blow-drying
- Use a leave-in conditioner [I love Sebastian Potion #9 for styles that require heat], it will help lubricate the strands keeping your hair free of tangles, matting and knots while working with your hair
- Blow-dry in small 1/2 inch sections of hair
- Lightly blow-dry roots and entire length of your 1/2 inch section before brushing the hair with the Denman Brush, as it is better to brush hair that is slightly damp versus hair that is wet.
- Once hair is slightly damp, blow-dry hair as normal using your Denman brush instead of a comb.
- Even though this can be used on it’s own as a detangling brush, I still recommend detangling with a wide-tooth comb beforehand, especially if you have type 4 hair.
- Work in small 1/2 sections of hair to prevent excess tangles, knots and matting
- Always detangle with product in your hair, whether it be conditioner, or a detangling mixture like the one featured in here.
- Brush hair from the bottom up to prevent unnecessary snagging and tension
Hope this post helps those of you looking for new detangling tool or those of you who have a Denman but, don’t love it.
