Thank you all for being so patient with me! Lots of great changes are happening behind the scenes and I’m so excited to be back with this video today! Let me know what you think and enjoy the bloopers 🤪
This is excellent! I now will get my brush. Can you please do a diffuser video? Your curls look amazing!
This is so comprehensive, it hadn’t occurred to me to try horizontal sectioning!
It took me WAY too long to try it myself and now I’m never going back!!!
@@TheFitCurls I have used the CGM for years but I finally just ordered a denman.....I have a question ...at what point did u add hair gel?? Before each section or all over hair before doing the whole head??
Your hair didn't too much care for the "SPIN" ONE
I canNOT believe you got results like that from a brush! I am in total awe (in a good way)! My hairstylist actually gave me this brush and I was thinking “Ummm okay a brush…So what?”
NOW I GET IT. Is this true enlightenment??? The secret of life???
Why has NO ONE ever told me this??? I had no idea that you can still brush your wavy/curly hair AND actually use the brush to HELP THE WAVES AND CURLS?! 🤯🤯🤯
Sorry, at almost 36 years old I am FINALLY beginning to learn what to do with this curly and wavy situation on my head.
Thank you!!! I am washing my hair in the morning and will definitely use your tips as a guide and see how it turns out. Thank you so much on behalf of all us clueless wavy/curly haired chicks who were always told “you just have frizzy/weird hair so deal with it” 😂
Just used the denman brush for the first time and used this video as a guide and I'M A CHANGED WOMAN! Even the annoying under-hairs that never want to curl finally sprung into place! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive video!
Hey, do you mind me asking which of these techniques you think works the best ? I’m struggling with my ehhh maybe 3a-3b hair 😢
@@somebodyyxx-1605ManesbyMell uses the ribbon style and she has type 3 curls. It's quite easy once you get used to the Denman brush. Just don't forget to do it on clean wet hair and after applying a leave-in or curl cream for a good slip.
I think I’m finally ready to give my Denman brush a go. It’s been sitting in a drawer since I got it (I’m intimidated!), but you outlined techniques I can handle, starting tomorrow-thanks!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! My hair is 2b-2c underneath and 2a on top, so I'm really excited to try the coil method!
Love your energy! You broke it down in terms I could understand but still got to the point! Thank you!
I’m so glad to have found you! I have always wondered about the brush. I just bought it!
Great video! I needed this for my wonky curls! Hope you have a great week!😊💞
Excellent tips for non-curly mom of curly girl. Love your energy. Thanks!
I haven’t used my Denman in awhile, but adopted the coiling method from you! 1st day hair with coils is pretty great ❤️ Love your tutorials!
I needed this video! All the techniques in one video I love it. I’m new to the curly hair so I have years of heat damage on my hair I am working through. I love your videos. Thank you so much
Thanks Angela for showing some different Denman brush techniques, will try them when I get my hair cut shorter!!
Thanks. For this great video! I just got a Denman and used the coiling technique, which gave me great ringlets, but I kind of missed my big natural bouncy curls. Now I know I have options !!!
Thank you! The best tutorial on the use of the Denman brush!
You have nice enthusiasm. It was a pleasure learning from you.
Superb video, you have gorgeous-healthy curls! TY for posting!!!
im so happy right now, i dont see many creators with a hair type this similar to mine, i am lookin into gettin a denman n this really helps me get an idea of what that would look like. Trying to recover the texture i used to have as a kid.
Best denman brush how to I've seen so far.. Thanks so much!!! 😍😍
We recently found out that my daughters hair is actually curly. I was thinking to get her a denman as I read lots about them for curly hair. As a straight/flat hair mom i had no experience in achieving nice natural curls and this video looks really helpful to start with different techniques to see what works best on my daughter. Also love the way how you make your video enjoyable and fun beside all the info.
👌
Really informative video! I haven't been able to get the results I wished for using the denman brush so I'm deffo going to try these techniques!
this video is so helpful! I have ordered the brush . I love your energy ❤
I just purchased the Denman brush but had to research on RUclips exactly how to use it. Your video was by far the best and so well demonstrated. My hair is so frizzy curly and I'm anxious to try your techniques so that I can turn my frizz into shapely, smooth curls. Keeping my fingers crossed I can do this. Your hair is beautiful!
I am so glad I found your videos. I didn't know how easy it could be to get great curls ...,I just wish I would have known about this years ago....... thanks
Excellent video and demonstrations! Love being able to see all the techniques on one head.
I’m glad it was helpful!! I really wasn’t sure how insane I was about to look 😅
Love it! Excited to get my brush 😍
This is so helpful! I think I've been convinced to get a Denman now
I just came across ur channel....I'm so impressed. The only 1 from the Curly Girl Community who actually showed us step for step how to use this brush. Iv'e had a Denman brush for like 5 years and only used it 4 times and never again. Was actually gonna throw it away. I don't bknow what it is but my hair get's stuck in the brush which caused tremendous frustration. My hair is very long down to ny belly. My curl pattern is a combination of waves and coils... So tmrw is washday will definitely try it. Thank you
Thank you! I explained the denman brush method perfectly!
i skipped through your video (it was the first one that popped up on google) and my curls have never been this limp. i’m going to watch it all the way through now and actually pay attention 🙏🏽
Yes!! Thank you! Definitely trying the horizontal, I think that may definitely assist my waves.
It’s a great technique!!
You have gave an excellent explanation of using my Denman!
I’ve been trying to use this brush but not having much luck till I saw your video.. I realized I was doing it all wrong .. thank you so much for this very informative and amusing video!!!
Great video! I’m ready to try something other than ribbon curls!!
I loved this video because of your funny! I just bought one of these! This was very helpful thanks!
Another video I saw looked great as well…she combed 3/4 of the way to the ends and then spun the brush around and around, thus curling the strand from the bottom. Thanks for your tips!
Omg. I just had the best wash day results after watching your video! THANK YOU! I’m 10 months in and still transitioning but my hair is finally turning a corner. First time I saw you do the upside down Denman brush curl (a few weeks ago, I’m a new subscriber), I thought you’d lost your mind. I tried it just to prove that technique had to be wrong. And whoa. I was just doing it with my bangs until this video and today I did it all over my head. I swear it was magic. That and taking bigger sections of curls at a time (I want looser waves like you have), it made. HUGE difference. THANK YOU!!
I’m so glad I could help!!!!! It’s such a versatile tool!
the most helpful that i have seen
Ok. You did it! You broke thru to me in this one. I’ve been using and trying to get results with my Denman and with other brushes as well. Turns out I wasn’t quite doing it right.
This morning’s styling was a GAME CHANGER! I got the clumps that have evaded me.
Now I get to see if I can do this every time!
Yeeeeehaw!!! THANK YOU!!
YAAAAY SUCCESS!!!! I’m so happy I could help and I’m thrilled for you and your curls!!!
looks fabulous!! I have tried the Denman brush but have not even close to master it. thanks for the tips!
My pleasure!!
I love your hair style!
I absolutely hate my Denman brush but now you have peaked my curiosity and I have to go play with it! We're gonna give it another go....wish me luck! Thanks for another wonderful video, Angela!
My pleasure!! Keep me posted on how it goes!
Angela, I did it! I took my time, styled on wet hair, sectioned it all off and used a combination of ribbon & spin curls. IT TURNED OUT FABULOUS!!!! Thank you so much for all of your help.
@@tomarcrauswell5613 YAY YAY YAY!!!!!! I’m so happy to hear that!!!
Back in 1977/1978, the Denman brush was my favorite brush in my kit when I was in cosmetology school.
There are FB adverts lately and they’re offering free shipping. I thiMk it ends this month. I purchased 3.
Thank you so much for this (and thanks to the YT algorithm for putting this video in my feed!)…I’d completely abandoned my Denman brush because I couldn’t get my curls to do right using the technique everyone else showed in their videos. 💜
I bought a fake denman brush from Target and have loved it because it smooths down so much of my frizz. I tried going back to my old way of styling and saw a huge difference in frizz. Eventually I’ll invest in the real thing eventually. I’m really excited about the horizontal styling because I feel like I’ve been fighting against my curls and think that doing it horizontally could help that. Love this video!
I know your comment is three years old, but did you happen to get the Cantu brush? I just discovered this type of styling, but I'm hesitant to buy a $25 hairbrush and was looking at the Cantu brush at Target as an alternative. If so, do you still use it? Any updated thoughts?
@@myoldaimsnwastakenthe one from target worked fine. I haven’t tried the denman or the Cantù version. I’m using a tangle teaser comb right now and it works great for me. I can’t imagine the Cantù one wouldn’t work. I feel like it’s more technique than specific tool.
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you! Love it! Very Very helpful!
Thanks a lot. I had have "Denman" but I didn't know how to use it... Your video was helpful.
This was a great video! Probably the best denman brush techniques video I've seen. Thank you for showing each section diffused. It was very informative.
I am so inept at using my denman. I need to try again. Your hair and you are gorgeous
Your hair looks great. My hair wants to separate into tiny clumps. I just bought a shower head with a filter (not installed yet), and think it’s time to try the Denman brush. Thanks for the info.
I use 2 different techniques on my hair with my Denman. My underneath layers are a much looser pattern so I spiral the sections down the brush to encourage curl formation. The top half of my head I do the ribbon curls because it doesn’t need as much help to keep its shape.
Love that!!
This sounds like what I'll need to do. I have almost no curl/wave down bottom but ALL the curl on top.
I watched it twice just to learn. Thank you
"Wayward pieces" 😄 Love it.
I used the tangle teezer to do the “coiling” it works great!
This is great 👍. I never realized that holding the brush horizontally vs vertically would make a difference. I do the coil technique a lot on my front sections that are damaged from highlights and don’t curl as well on their own. Do you brush your hair first with a different brush to get out tangles ?
❤❤ this is a great video!
I hope you’re doing well Angela.
fun fun fun. i gotta try these techniques.
Amazing video and thank you so so much. I have naturally wavy hair and using straightener every time after washing it over the years. So now my hair is curled in inner layer and straight overlay we. So ugly. Also, I have this brush for years and just using for regular brushing. Have no idea can do this. Start from now on I’ll embrace my curls like this. Thank you 😊
I hope the horizontal technique will work for me finally. I've only been able to brush through on soaking wet hair upside down Then side to side in shower and microplop. As my hair is getting longer this is more challenging to get all areas of hair. I have not been successful trying to section and use brush so far but am hopeful to try more after viewing your instruction!
This is still such a great video
“makes me go waaaaaaaah” not subscribed-1st video ever SUBSCRIBED just for that beautiful intro.
Great video, thanks so much, new subscriber! Quick question: Do you put your gel in before the Denman brush or after?
Thanks for this! I struggle so much with that Denman brush.. my hair is like your pattern..all sorts of curls that go in all different directions and I don't want to brush beat them into submission, but nurture them..let them be their own individual curl baby. I love the horizontal style, that makes sense because every day is different and that looks like it just lets the curl do it's thing! :-) Now if only I had the patience and the arm strength to do small sections like that I would be a regular goldy locks! LOL You're awesome, thanks!!
I’m new to experimenting with enhancing my wavy/curly hair and you give me hope that I can possibly accomplish this! Thank you for your humor, direct directions and for not pushing the envelope by incessantly talking about everything and anything that is not topic related to your wonderful videos! I just received my Denham brush in the mail and I’m excited about trying it out tonight. Thank you being bright and upbeat! 😊
Thank you so much! My lower and back sections have more wave than the section right on the top of my crown and around the face which is almost straight.
Currently struggling with my denman (and regretting the purchase?) so grateful to see this! I also use orange marmalade and love it! At what point did you add the orange marmalade in your routine in this video? I’m guessing as you were scrunching after gliding through with the brush? Thank you!
I’d REALLY LOVE to hear your thoughts on the new Curlsmith fragrance free shine line.
I thought returning to my curls instead of straightening would be less work but this video just proved I was dead wrong! 😂🤣 Great tutorial.
Same 😢 I’ve been straightening for years and my family members have straight/wavy hair while I have realy curly about maybe 3b or 3a so I don’t have someone to ask advice from ☹️
This was to the point and extremely helpful. You showed each method really well. Thanks
Totally great video and so informative! My Denman brush comes tomorrow and I can’t wait to try it. Question for you, I have the orange marmalade, and I was wondering when you applied it and in what way. Did you apply it to each section? And when you diffused, did you diffuse upside down and on what setting and for how long? I also have the Dyson. Thank you so much for any info! Trying to get it right on the first time, but I know that’s a tall order lol
Man I wish she would’ve answered your question because I have the same questions damn
you're hilarious and I love you!
you bet your sweet bippy! hahahaha. i haven't heard that sence my dad passed away. this is the best for explaining the curls and how to get the brush to work to your advantage.
Thank you love it. How about the scrunch it brush?
when i use the denman, i use the first method but i twirl the section with my finger after the brush. i have hair that curls great on the bottom but not so great on the root and that really helps, and i feel like it doesn't take as long as coiling
Fun fact: a tangle teezer works really well for that coiling technique!
PS I always look forward to your Friday uploads!💜💜
OOOH I love my Tangle Teezer so I’m gonna have to try this!! xx
Also have you tried the tressfully yours brush it’s good as well 👍👍❤️
@@juliecolon6081 I've never heard of that brush! My hair product addiction has just been activated!
@jennleah it’s awesome
there is also the behairful brush (or alternatively the drugstore brushes that look literally the same but cost 90% less)
I loved this video, you gave me a good laugh 😆
I don't mean in a bad way bet your sweet bippy
Glad you enjoyed!! xx
The horizontal sections is a game changer! I'm a wavy and my curl types are all over the place and it's been a big challenge to figure out what direction they want to curl. Oh and alllllllll the volume with horizontal sections!!
Isn’t it great?! It’s been a huge help for me too!!
@@TheFitCurls I started trying to work with my natural hair texture about a year and a half ago. Watched so many videos and never seen the horizontal technique. Thanks so much for sharing!
I loved this video.....you crack me up! I purchased the Denman brush and it's been sitting in the bathroom closet because I didn't know what to do with it. Now I do! I'm going to try all of the techniques and hope I get some curls. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for keeping me smiling with your adorable videos!
Happy to help!! 💛💛💛
Awesome 🤗👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Thank you!! xxx
thankyou THANKYOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!
My pleasure!!!!!
@@TheFitCurls hey do you have a video explaining the denman coiling method in much more detail??
@@eshalnusrat9301 Yes ma’am I do! You can click the card that pops up at the top of the video while I’m talking about coiling - it’ll take you right to it!
@@TheFitCurls ooh okie dokie!! Thanks alot!!
Great video! When and how did you apply the orange marmalade please?
I need to save your video. When I used the denman brush, it got all tangled in my hair. I’m sure I lost a bunch of hair. ☹️ I’ll watch your video just before I do my wash routine. It looks so easy when you do it. I’m such a klutz!
The trick is to use a detangling brush and a little bit of leave in conditioner before you use the denman brush -- really detangle your hair first. Also, if you're using one of the coiling techniques where you twist your hair around the brush, you have to make sure that only one section of your hair is inside the actual brush bristles. Don't double wrap in the bristle part.
You're so funny and cute! This vid totally helped me! I'll definitely try these techniques.
Omg you had me ROLLING during this video! Yep, you bet your bippie you did! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Everyone loves a bippy! Despite having no idea what they are 😂
I’m a newbie with all things curls. So after I wash my hair and put in the leave in conditioner and comb it out…. Do I then put in gel, comb it out AND THEN do the denman part and then diffuse?
Sorry just confused
Loved this. But my hair is shorter. Can I still use the Denman brush? I’d never heard of this brush before.
I think I’m gonna try the horizontal way the curls around the base of my neck. That hair is always wavy and looks weird to me since the rest of my hair is really curly
Angela, how long is your hair when it’s wet if you pull it straight?
Thank you; this is super helpful! I've apparently been using the Ribbon Method! I want to try the Coiling Method--those curls are gorgeous! It looks like it would take a while though... does it? Though my hair is super short, so how long COULD it take me? :D
I mean it doesn’t take a super short amount of time 🤣 but it’s much faster than finger coiling!
Any ideas on how to use for jaw-length hair? Is there a smaller version of the brush?
I have a question - do you plop your hair at all? If so, what order do you do this in? Plop first, coil before diffuser drying?
Very helpful! Thank you! How much orange marmalade did you use to achieve these results?
I’ll take Questions I Cannot Answer for 500, Alex 😂 I generally use 1-2 pumps per section but the amount varies depending on how my hair is feeling!
Genius
I have long hair down the middle of my back.... when I try any of these all my hair gets in the way and I try to use clips but then I end up pulling hair out of the clips as I style other sections.🤦🏼♀️ I have found denmen brush styling to be very time consuming and by the time I’m done I feel like I have to shower to get all the hair products off may face, arms, and back. your curls are pretty no matter which way you styled. Maybe one day I can figure this out. I just have way too much fine long hair and I’m exhausted when I’m all done.
I cannot wait until my hair is actually long enough to try these!!!
💕💕💕
Thank you so much! I never knew about this technique, what a blessing to have found you! 💙🙏🏻🕊🌞
I don't have naturally curly hair. I did get a great perm that gives my thin straight hair some character, Will these techniques work for me?
I would like to see you diffuse. How do you do that and get those curls? Beautiful!!!!
I have a diffusing tutorial linked in the description! xx
Have been using the Denman brush. I've had no luck with getting clumps. What can I do.😢
Do you always brush style after you add stylers
Just discovered I can have curly hair. But Ive also learned I cant wash my hair very often(like maybe once a month) but I have to condition at least every other day. My hair has never been so healthy or curly since learning this. Now Id like to try the curly girl method, i just got me a denman but if the technique requires freshly washed hair then Im only going to be able to do it once a month. What are your thoughts, does it have to have to be washed washed? And do use natural curl products or can you recommend any?
