DenmanD3 7 Rows Curly Hair Brush Detangling Detangling Detangling Shaping Curls Defining Hair Brush for Men and Women

This is my second purchase of this brush (only bought a second one because I forgot my first brush somewhere else). I love this brush! For context, I have thick curly hair (about type 3b to type 2a but mostly 3b). This brush detangles my hair so quickly, gives my scalp a nice mild scalp massage and does a great job at maintaining my curls. The brush quality is great, like I said I’ve used my first brush for around 2 years with no issues. The gold “denman” logo only slowly started fade at the end of the 2 years which is great quality to me. Just fyi, I do not submerge my brush or use it in the shower. I would recommend rinsing it after use to maintain a clean brush without any build up. May be hard to clean given the bristles are pretty tight together. I love this brush and probably won’t ever replace it as it’s hard to find a good brush for curly hair!! Highly recommend.

If you purchased this brush to de-tangle your hair, unless you have short to medium, STRAIGHT and fairly FINE hair, you are going to be drastically disappointed! Try taking out a few rows of pins and it might work ok as a de-tangle brush. OR, better yet, skip this one and get yourself a proper paddle brush (or wide tooth comb) that is specifically meant to tackle wet tangled hair. Enough said about that, onward to my review why I purchased this brush.I have 2B-3A curly, dry-ish hair that always could use a boost of product and styling methods to make it curlier and to have the style last. This brush is perfect to STYLE your wet curly hair (once it has been de-tangled). I would say I have fine to medium density hair (but tons of it) and use a light leave-in AND then a styling cream (some use a hybrid creamy gel if it has some slip) to style my hair with this brush. You need some SLIP or it is not going to work. What the brush does is distribute your product (styling cream) evenly, helps to separate the strands, and because of the half round shape, can put a nice bend to your hair. All of that helps your hair clump and curl much better than using your fingers alone. Think of it a bit like finger coiling without all the time and effort.Depending on your curl type, you can get anywhere from nice loose waves to tight ringlets. I suggest checking out YouTube for some pointers on the different methods of use for this brush. Also, "seal" your styling with a gel; it will help hold it for a few days.My last "tips" are what brush to purchase. I have layered hair and my shortest hair (on the top of my head) is about 3 inches long up to bra strap length hair and the D3 works best for me on my longer hair. I feel that the D3 is a bit big for my shortest length hair and I have been experimenting with the D33 and D14 . So far, I think the top of my head is too short to get much benefit from any Denman brush so I do a combination of finger coiling and twisting the D33. Unfortunately that is also my "straightest" hair and hoping with time and the Denman I can train it to curl a bit better.If you have very long hair, you may prefer the D4 as there is a bit more surface area to make your styling go a bit faster. I have seen styling of the D3 vs the D4 and the end results are not that noticeably different. The D5 is similar but a heavier brush but I have never used it to know of any difference in styling your curly hair.And finally the D14 and D33 are best for shorter hair. I find they work ok on layered hair, but I would suspect either would be absolutely perfect for a single layer bob.One final note if you have very thick hair. You may wish to remove a row or two of the pins or else you might never be able to get the brush through your hair, no matter how much of a slippy cream you apply. You could also try the D41, or Free Flow. They come with less pins to start.Hope this exceptionally long post has been helpful. Good luck on your curly girl journey!

I have 2c/3a hair, medium to long length, and live in south central US where there is fairly high humidity most of the year. It's taken me a few years of getting used to skipping daily washes and minimizing my blow dryer use, partly b/c I never really knew how to style my hair on air dry days. I'd end up with a frizzy A-frame shaped do, or a lifeless, gel-crusted mop.I tried this brush after seeing it on a master class about hair. The woman with 3c used it to brush through small, damp sections of hair, then twist the section around her finger, let it loose, and then onto the next section. I tried this method, leaving my hair pretty damp and using a good curl cream applied throughout. I used the brush to also go back and gently give some lift from the root once i kind of had it placed where i wanted. I used a light hair spray as I finished each layer of sections.I've been doing this style once or twice a week now for a couple of months. This brush has made the difference in my confidence working with my hair. Even in dead summer the frizz is minimal, my waves/curls keep their shape without necessity of crusty gel, and I have actual definition.Not only has it helped me style on air dry days, my day two style is easier to manage. I can use this to gently brush out the sections to give me a nice, soft wave without it immediately frizzing. If I brush it out the night before and put it up, it's even easier to deal with on day two.I don't exactly understand how the brush does what it does, but I'd absolutely recommend it for wavy hair folks that want to define and control.Besides liking the fact that it works, I like that the brush is light weight, seems pretty durable so far, and is at a good price point. The handle is comfortable and the bristle pad gives. Just a great brush all around.
