Hands down the BEST video I've found about the Denman brush and 2b-3a curling method. I love the patient, step-by-step explanation and all the information she has put into it. It also helps that she has a calm voice and eloquent speaking as it is a long video.

Her hair is *not* 2b,c, nor 3a. After the denman brush she's forced it into a curl pattern but I'd call her 2a: wavy. If this a 3a then how is my afro a 4b??

@@jalisacutler1228 she did not force her hair in a curl pattern at all, all she did was scrunch it which encourages your own curl pattern. You can't force your hair in a curl pattern that way... If you have straight hair nothing is going to happen that way. 2a hair only has a little movement, 2b has s-waves and 2c is starting to form ringlets. I've seen a lot of girls here on YT with tight curls commenting on girls with less tight curls trying to deminimize their curl/wave pattern and I don't get it. Someone having 3a hair does not make your 4a hair less of an afro curl

I have probably watched over 75 curly hair tutorials and never once did anyone mention to put down a towel for safety reasons. Thank you for sharing that important, but overlooked detail! I’ve almost slipped in the bathroom before because of all the water droplets on the floor. 👍

Thanks so much for this! this is the first time I've seen someone post a curly girl/wavy young lady video whose hair was anything like mine. I also have dense, fine, multi-patterned hair that can range from a 2b to a 3c depending on section, day of the week, which way the wind is blowing, who won the World Series, who knows what else, and this was super helpful. Excited to try out a Denman brush

Yes yes Yes!!!!!!! Finally a tutorial from someone with low porosity hair who doesn't use fistfuls of product. You're the first tutorial I've seen with hair texture and porosity like mine, so it helps to see what kind of results I can achieve with the Denman brush. Also, I've been pixie diffusing for years, and it is the BEST way to diffuse to minimize frizz and maximize root volume......honestly thought I was the only one who ever used this method. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

I get you, my day 2 is almost straight. 🤣

This is incredible! I've never seen anyone with hair that looks exactly like mine!! And I've watched a lot of curly hair videos. You've sold me on trying the Denman brush, which I had thought was only for people with really strong, defined curls. Thank you!!

Love, love, love all the details your video includes that I have not seen in any other curly hair videos. THANKS for taking the time. Very real and hands on.

I’m so happy I found your channel. We have pretty much the same curl pattern and hair length so I will be tuning in to your future videos for sure!☺️

Love how long and detailed this is. Getting to watch from start to finish. Been looking for a video like this. A lot of people do it a little then skip to the end. Thanks!! ❤️

I've been trying to find a good tutorial for trying the curly girl method and yours is the first one I feel like I could actually do! Thanks for explaining everything so well. I'm excited to give this a try :)

I just ordered a denman brush today! So happy I came across your video… finally a normal, beautiful, sensible girl without the crazy expensive dozen hair products!!!!!! Awesome video!

Put a rubber band around the handle so that when you need the cool button to stay on just roll it on top then pull it off when you want it to stop.

Great tip about putting down a towel on the floor. I have completely wiped out in the bathroom after slipping on a wet floor with product, more than one time!! Great video! I used the Denman brush for the 1st time today and it did not go as smoothly as your tutorial. I didn't section it off nicely like you did. Twisting it out of the way is a great idea. Also, my hair felt wet but it didn't make the squish sound. So, I have learned some new ways to try it. Thanks!

This has been the best video I have seen about blow drying. It has helped me IMMENSELY. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

I am literally doing this now! I’m in the middle of pixie drying it and am already happy!! I’ve been trying different methods with my Denman and the flip is by far my favorite!

Great video! You explained everything very well. As a matter fact, that's the way I use my Denman brush and I'm glad. I discovered that tip few days ago on my own and it worked really good! Thanks for sharing!

I've just started to follow the CGM and bought this brush yesterday. I can't wait to try out your technique for myself. Thank you for this detailed video

FINALLY a video that explains the denman brush that makes sense to me. Thanks!!

I'm a 4a and use this brush as well. The result is a beautifully wavy afro. I get a lot of compliments. It's a better style for me. It's less work and fuss than a twist out style. I use DevaCurl and Moxy products.

What even is a wavy afro lmao. Please explain.

Wow I love how your hair turned out. Every time I have to wash my hair, I want to run away because I have soo much hair that I have to do small sections. I recently cut my hair above my collar bone and I still have to to do small sections lol. In the end I suck it up and do it and it comes out bomb asf ❤️ I have the Denman brush as well and I took out 3 rows and wonder why my hair would not stay on the brush. Now, I know why lol. Well, I'll put back the 3 rows to the brush and I can't wait to see more hair videos from you.

So informative! My brush is arriving today and I have been looking up how to use it but am struggling to find hair like mine. So thankful I found your video!

Excellent video! Great detail and explanations. You are really a natural. Your hair turned out great!!

Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for this video and the awesome tips about the Denman brush. I first watched this about 12 months ago and have had great results following your techniques!! Thanks a bunch!! 😘👍🏼💞

As a beginner, this is the best transition into cgm for me! Thank you so much for sharing this!

I’ve been doing this style of defusing for years. Didn’t know there was a name for it! Ha! Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. :)

Your natural hair color is beautiful. I swear I dyed my hair that exact color for years!

I have watched soooooo many tutorials and yours by far is the BEST! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to put together this video. Very instructive and clear and uncomplicated

Thanks so much for this tutorial. This is how my hairdresser dries my hair (including using the little clips) and I just couldn't repeat it until I saw this!

Your curls are gorgeous!

Really great video! This styling will be my guide coming back to curly hair. :)

My hair is about ten times curlier than yours. When I want the curls 'tamed' I twirl it around my finger to create ringlets (after adding curly-hair, frizz-free mouse) then either leave it to dry naturally, or use a diffuser. Then I run my fingers through it and add tons of serum. I have used a Denman brush since the mid 70s to smooth pout my curls when I want a sleeker, straighter look. It's the best brush on the market!

Your hair looks the same color and wave as mine. Yay! I will try the Denmam brush again. I caught a few new ideas .

I'll have to try this method. I've tried my denman once and didn't really notice a difference but i didn't try to fluff up the curl after. Thanks girl !

I get such BAD wet frizz. I'm so jealous of your smooth wet hair! 😍

Omg!!! I was never able to do the denman technique but I just did it!!!!

Great job! I am a curly girl veteran, and even I learned some new tricks from you. I think you described everything very well. I also have a stupid dryer that requires holding cool button down.

I think I finally get how to use it! Your hair seems similar to mine. I wish I had watched this before I washed my hair today...

Your hair came out GREAT!

We have the same hair texture 😭 I’m so happy

Honestly, I wasn’t convinced on the Denman Brush until this video and now I LOVE it ! Still learning how to use it but this video was 🔥 exactly what the doctor ordered

Watch Manes by Mell’s video on finger coiling... would work wonders with your hair texture and help the curls to become curlier and more defined :)

I put a ponytail band on the handle of my hairdryer wrapped twice and it holds my cool button down nicely!

I finally found someone with the same hairdryer as me!!!! I honestly love it so much and I scratch my head when I realize it’s 10 years old and not broken yet..... Also the diffuser does the trick for me, I have a similar cut and hair texture to yours.

Very informative👍 I’m going to try the pixi method

My hair is very similar to yours!! So this is very very helpful 🙌🏼

Thank you! I was experiencing with the brush but the results weren’t that great yet since i couldn’t find a tutorial for a curl pattern similiar to mine but now i did! I’ll be trying this out next time i wash my hair

Excellent tutorial!

Finally, someone with dense, fine hair. I'm hoping to get the definitions in the back of my head like you have. I just haven't been doing it right, and I don't think my hair has been wet enough or has enough product in it. I would like to see a video of how to continue to take care of the curls daily until you wash your hair again. I only wash mine once weekly.

Ok..first, thank u for putting all of this time and energy into making this video. 2.) what is a 2b, 3a or any other letter and number combo of curls?? 3.) What's so special about this brush? It looks just like any other hairbrush! 4.) Why do u go to all of that trouble to get curls?? All u need to do, if u have curly or semi curly hair is comb it out after towel drying it, coat it in a gel for curly hair, scrunch it with your fingers and let it air dry. Your hair looks just like mine and mine dries naturally in 15 minutes, with full curls with this method

I have the same hair type as you! For my whole childhood I had frizzy fine hair strands but a whole lot of them so it looks thick. I recently realized that my hair was wavy/curly and have started trying it. It seems like every time I wash it, it gets curlier and curlier!

I have used that mousse for years even before I was CG. It's a ride or die for me.

@@AwakenedOne447 basically rhe lower the number(and then letter) the straighter your hair/curl pattern is. Google "curl pattern hair type." Chucking it into images is the beet way to go to begin because some people's opinion on what is a 3A might be someone else's opinion on what is actually a 2B/C. If you are unsure of what you are (most people have multiple hair types on their head, or might have much curlier hair than they realise because of existing damage/lack of curly routine/location weather/treatment etc.) start looking for tests that show examples of actors and actresses or other celebrities. The reason I say that is because you see them and their hair A LOT so can see a variety of different curly or good/bad hair days so can help get a netter accuratr idea. Another thing to remember though, is it is a label that is just meant to be a guide to help yourself and hairdressers get a better idea of what best way to handle it. It's not important if it's 'right' or not. Good luck!

You are so welcome! Wishing you the best of luck!

I quite literally have almost identical 2b waves as you (although I do have a few layers, not too many tho) & this brush has proven over & over to just be a cumbersome nuisance. It’s so much work & no desirable results. I simply take the time to really scrunch in sections while hair is soaked. This brush really seems to work best on 3b+. Im s1 who’s always going after that volume & there are several good products out there but aside from gel products containing flaxseed, I have 2 recommendations that are bomb af. 1 is Aveda confixor & the other is a bit more expensive (but worth it), it’s the L'ANZA Healing Oil Bounce Up Spray $30. The IGK Nordic Cotton spray gives almost untamed volume when sprayed on the roots just before diffusing too. But 1st I prime w/the IGK “Sold Out” priming spray for wavy/curly hair, then a tiny amount of AG Curl Recoil, then either the L’anza or Confixor. Then, after the cast is formed & hair is 85-90% dry, I spray IGK Nordic Cotton on the roots & diffuse. The results are fantastic. My hair weighs down easily but I do need moisture (especially bcz my hair has highlights). But once the dryness &/or frizz is taken care of using product - I go after that sexy volume. I don’t like when my curl clumps are TOO thick & separated bcz the curl clumps look too heavy & basically just drip dried - it’s not a pretty look on me. I want full, voluminous, springy curls & this is how I achieve it!

My hair is SO FRIZZY but I know it can look so much better. I'm just starting my journey to have beautiful curls. My hair is like a 2c-3b with big loose curls along with loose coils.

My hair dries super slow, so I can't dry the roots first. I just apply less product to my roots and if I let it air dry then I root clip. If I go straight into diffusing I just diffuse upside down. I don't use any shine spray as oil just sit on my hair.

Please explain exactly what the Denman Brush does compared to not using the brush. Thanks.

My hair is strangely the same length and curl pattern as yours and on top I have the same part but to get more volume after only diffusing about 5 minutes I flip my hair on top over to the opposite side that I usually part it then hop in the car going to work and crack the windows and blast some warm heat (or cool air if it's summer time lol) and let the wind blow dry it the rest of the way and when I get to work I flip my hair back over to the natural part line and VOILA 👌🥰😘 HUGE volume!!!!! I do spray a tiny amount of root lifter in the front on roots before I did the diffusing too so it helps but do not over-saturate it lol

This changed the game for me thank you!!

Thanks also for listing the products and items used. Can you tell what was the brand of the other brush - the multi-colored wet brush?

I'm late seeing this (it's CovidCrappyTime2020), but this is a great video! I saved it!

My hair looks awful when I do it, great after I get it trimmed. This is the closest I've seen to how they style it when it's trimmed, the root clips was a helpful bonus.

I have 2C curls. As soon as a brush my wet hair out of the shower, my curls break up and get frizzy af. Hoping this will work. A defuser on my Dyson also frizzes my hair. I tend to braid my hair when it's wet and then take my braids out. The only thing that doesn't frizz my hair
