How To Use The Denman Brush On 2B-3A Curls | Wet To Dry Routine

I wanted to give you a little sneak peek of my after hair before we get into the video sort of before and then what its gon na look like afterwards. So you know the results are gon na be great, but I wanted to show you how I styled using the Denman brush. This is the seven row. I will talk more about it in the video and all the products that I use. Everything I talked about in the video will be down in the description box so be sure to check it out in today's video I'm going to be using the Denman brush. I want to go through all the stylers and their products at the beginning of this video, so you can see what I'm going to use and then we're gon na run through and actually style my hair with a Denman brush, I'm just out of the shower. My hair is still drenched. It is up in a clip right now and I have this robot on top of my clothes, because it's sort of just dripping on me. But today I used the not your mother's curl talk comb care shampoo as my sort of build up remover. It doesn't remove all the build-up in a room, so good amount of it there's a very nice lather to it. So if you're, just starting out on the curly girl journey - and you can't get over that shampoo - a kind of non shampoo like some people - use just conditioners or shampoo - if you can't get out of that - this is a very gentle cleansing and they can do a Nice lather for my conditioner in my leave-in. I use the diva curl one condition to light love. This smells amazing, very light, but also really really easy to detangle in the shower to detangle. I use a bunch of that conditioner, so my hair is very like very conditioner. I put a lot of water on so it's very easy, like a nice slip to it, so I can put my fingers to write hair. I do like to fully detangle and my fingers: don't do that fully for me, so I do use a wet brush, really love this brush, it's very movable, so it doesn't pull the hair at all. If there's any knots, it'll kind of like work its way through, but just make sure you have enough conditioner and enough water that you're able to detangling with your hands. But if you want to fully like have a nice detangled fully of the hair, you can use this wet brush and it won't pull on your knots. Of course, this whole video is about the Denman brush. I did get mine off of Amazon and link it down below for you. I chose to get the 7ro bristle. I I believe that the curl your hair is, you should get the nine row so that it pulls a little bit differently, but I thought I'd start out with the seven see how I'm liking it. Maybe one day I will upgrade to the nine. I had a four around seven or eight dollars off of Amazon and it took about three days to get to me. It really wasn't that bad, but I have been playing around with this. There was a time when I first use this. I took out it like every other row, so there was only one two three four rows in and I feel like it wasn't holding my hair you'll see when I'm styling it and like my hair kind of falls out. So I'm hoping with more of these bristles that will hold the hair long or till the end of the hair, and I believe this to work a lot better having more rosin, so the curl your hair is, I have around 2b 2c 3a. It really depends on my hair day. It really depends on how my curls are wanting to react that day that I can get up to a 3a with my curls. So today I'm going to be using the seven row Denman brush for today's styling. I want to put in my products now so in the shower. I did my shampoo. I did my conditioner and I left a little bit as a leave-in. My hair is drenched wet. It is up in a clip, but today I'm going to be using my styling products before I style my hair. So today I'm going to use the diva curl styling cream. I have never used this. I'Ve heard great things, but I do love a cream in my hair, and this is curly girl, friendly, which is awesome. All of my products are currently girl friendly, so they have no silicones, no parabens, no sulfates, nothing harsh on the hair that will harm your hair. In any way, also with my styling cream, I'm going to be using the diva curl ultra defining gel love this. It gives a really nice hard hold on the hair. It gives you a nice cast because I ever wanted to be diffusing today. I do want to use the ultra defining gel if I was letting it air dry. I would probably use the light defining gel. It really doesn't give me that good of a cast on my hair, but I can let it kind of if I want kind of like beachy waves, I will use two like finding gel today. I want to do a lot more of a hard hold with my diffuser, so knitting is the ultra defining gel once we're done putting in the product doing the styling with the denim airbrush, I am going to be enhancing my curls just a little bit just to Give it a little more I'm going to using a moose. This is the Herbal Essences totally twisted curl, boosting moose in at level 3 love. This smells amazing, I feel like it doesn't weigh down my hair whatsoever and then, after I'm doing that, I will do curls. Like us, 100 % cotton towel - and I use this to get all of the extra water and product out of my hair before I diffuse end clip. So that's the run-through of what we're going to be doing today. So, let's get into styling my hair. So my hair right now, I just have the one condition to light conditioner. As my leave-in I have about maybe a quarter sized amount of that around my hair. My hair is very, very wet, so what I'm going to do is just put my hair up and have still one half of my head and then do the other half making sure your hair is fully detangle before you use. The styling brush is a must. The bristles are very tightly packed and if you have any tangles in your hair, you don't want to use this to detangle your hair because it will pull the bristles are pretty solid. And then you have knots and working through this you're, probably gon na end up tearing your hair breaking it, and you just don't want that. So make sure your hair is fully detangle, whether you finger detangle or use a wet brush or whatever brush that you use to detangle just make sure that your hair is fully detangle before using the styling brush. Okay, so first I'm going to go with the diva curl styling cream just do a little bit. I don't want to fully wait on the hair and that might be a little bit too much, but I have a very, very dense hair. So hopefully it will be enough. I just never know with new products like sometimes it could be too much. Sometimes it could be too little, but also that's kind of fun. It'S kind of like makeup you just you, have to keep playing with it and practicing and figure out. What'S right for you also, I would recommend putting down a towel. I have a towel down below me. Just for you know, safety purposes, your hair doesn't get wet and you get products and places you don't realize that it's getting everywhere. So just for your safety and for other safety who use the spots that you're styling your hair and just put down like an old towel or go get a towel for a couple bucks in a dollar store. So I'm gon na put in a little bit of the gel now and to put that right on top the same exact method, I'm just gon na rake it through not very much product break it through. You can do praying hands. These products smells so good. You just can't get over how good they smell. One of the great things about the Denman brush is that it's not only for styling but also for evenness of product in the hair, because it is so tight. You see how close and I guess, structure the hair becomes. You are evenly distributing the product, so just gently run your fingers and your brush through your hair to evenly distribute the product throughout and for the top I'm going to do the exact same thing. I'M just going to split it down the middle so that I have even distribution, so I'm just going to use the styling cream once once again and then the ultra defining cream on top okay. So once again, I'm just wanting to run the Denman brush through my hair, just be gentle just in case there are any sort of twists that are happening in your hair and you don't want to pull in a break the hair. I mean look at that like that is just combing it and how much it clumps together and you get like come on right, a lot of product in the brush itself. So I just picture window, it is rubber, so it's easy to just sort of clean out. So right now I just put my hair up in half again I'm going to take this section and probably do the top by itself. I do have very dense hair, so I'm just going to take this small section. First, I'm going to split my hair in half and I like to do the back to the front so that I can see what I'm doing okay, so I just took a big section in the back of my hair: it's not too big, but it's a good Amount of hair - I'm just going to twist this up here, so I don't bother it and just make sure it's all together with the denim rush, I'm going to go underneath and brush it out, just one or two times just to make sure that the hair is Evenly distributed and clump together, so it's third and final time or whatever you feel it's necessary. You go up and twist the brush so that the back of the brush starts to form and at the end, it's going to flick your hair, and you just want to take it and this sort of give it a little shake and a scrunch. Okay, emphasizing that you want it to start to curl up and it's very clumpy and for the whole process of my head, I'm going to do the same exact thing give a little shake and scratch. That was a good one. It was a really good one and I am noticing: do you see how, when I'm doing this, it's actually holding the hair throughout the bristles, the less bristles you have, the more your hands likely to fall out and not actually stay kind of like it'll. Do this, so I would recommend just testing it out trying out with your hair and with hair, it's going to be different and testing out. How many rows work for you, and you definitely want to hear that squishy sound. If you don't, I would recommend adding some water in it or in your hair. Just put a little bit of moisture back in your hair and I wonder, do the process throughout my head. So I'm going to take a small section on this side and do the exact same thing. This may seem tedious and you're like why. Why would I do this clump egde clump? That is why I do this. Of course I get nice clumps. When I don't do this with my hair, but at the same time, on dentin when you're like me - and I really just want my hair to work and it works for a good amount of time - I feel like I can go 2 to 3 days with good Clump itch in my hair and not feel like, I need to do another refresh or a serious wash day. Ok! So now, let's go on to the other part of our head, I'm going to work on small chunks out of time. Just so, I can make sure that my hair is curled all the way around the club pitch is so good with this brush. I just can't get over how good it is like right now and then, when it curls up your hair, just especially with the mousse in and then we scrubbed out a little bit of a water and the excess product. It'S gon na look so good! So here's how my hair is looking right now, really good definition, lovin it okay. So I've read only part, my hair right around here, so I'm gon na do this piece and the rest of this will fall to my left side. I'M noticing a lot more sort of spiraling when I flick out and then almost bring it upside down and then flick it. So I'm going to try that with the rest of my head but see how much more curl I'm getting I'm noticing. If I flick it just a little bit more, it curls up just a little bit. Okay. So now I'm going to go almost all the way around and yeah its spiral is just a little bit more. So I'm just gon na keep doing that throughout, and I will definitely remember that for the future, it is just curling, just a little bit more, I'm using the back of the brush yeah for sure see you got to just keep trying and then eventually find out What works for you? Okay, I'm just going to do one more scrunch, all the way around okay. So let's give you an overall view of my hair right now. The clumps are definitely form you see that they are clumping, so I want to put in one last product. This is the mousse I'm going to put in love. The smooth smells amazing and a little bit goes a long way, but it's very, very foamy, but did to send it rates very fast. So you do need a little more product than you usually do, but I'm just going to I'm just going to bring hands very gently and scrunch it in, but I go a little by little. I don't like to apply too much product at once, or else it can get a little too heavy and a little too sticky in my hair and it weighs it down. So that's not funny and I want a little more root, lift so we're going to apply this upside down. So you get a little bit up the excess water a little bit of the excess product. That'S just sort of sitting in there I'm going to use my towel and just scrunch my hair, then a little more relavant on my roots. So I'm going to go ahead and just flip. So today I'm going to be diffusing. I'M going to use my ultra chilo EMF. I'Ve had this for at least 10 years. It'S never. Let me down. The only thing is there is a high and low setting, which is always great, but this little button is the cool setting and the only way to keep it on cool is to hold it down. So I have to hold this down the entire time and I used a cool setting the entire time. It does take a little bit longer, but but I get less frizz and I get more of the hard hold on my head. The way I use this is the pixie curl diffusing method, I believe so off right now the thing is off. Take a section of your hair into the diffuser: go all the way to the head so that the little prongs are touching your head, and here you will turn it on high or low and then hold down the cool setting. You can do warm and then keep doing like push the cool and it gets too hot on your head, but you will keep it on your head when you're ready to let go. You turn the blow-dryer off and then take the hair out of the diffusing and do the same thing all the way around the head to get more volume put your head upside down. I will be doing that because I just want more root, lift and I want a little more ba-ba-boom. It doesn't have to be as curled up top. I don't have a lot of curl on the top of my head, as you can see right around here. Doesn'T curl as much it starts to curl a little bit more halfway down more easily it just curls on its own, but today I'm going to be using no heat on my head. All cool and I'll probably use one and two on the settings at high and low. That really doesn't affect my curl pattern, but using the pixie method, where you turn it off, put your hair in and turn it on when you're ready turn it off and then take your hair out lot less frizz and the hard cast on my hair. I actually get the hard cast when I'm done diffusing, so I'm just going to go. Do this around my head, I'm going to flip upside down, I'm going to side to side, but I'm going to use the pixie method to dry. My whole head it'll, be about! I want to say I want to get it's around 85 to 90 percent dry Matt. That is until I get like the hard hold on my head, but it's still a little bit damp around my scalp, because that's usually where I get the most damp, it stays damp for a very long time. It'S only been about 10 minutes, but staying in like one spot, it's just my hand starts to cramp up, especially holding a cool button. If you have a blow-dryer that has a cool automatic button, you can just click it and let go it'll be so much better for you. So if you are on the lookout for you, blow-dry look for one that has a cool setting, that you can just click and just leave it because holding it there just cramps up my thumbs. Okay, so I diffused for about 15 to 20 minutes. I am exhausted. You wouldn't think you'd be exhausted, but if you budge a few who diffuse your hair, you know how exhausting it could be. So my hair is about 85 % dry. I think I'm done defusing her today. I'M just I just can't do it. I feel so lazy, but I can't do it. One of the things that you do want to notice is that my hair is a little bit frizzy on top. That'S gon na happen when you diffuse, whether you use a lot of product, whether you have gorgeous hair, diffusing, just sort of brings up a lot of those little flyaways and that's what's gon na happen. But I have more volume. So it's either air dry and have less volume, but have less frizz or diffuse and have a little bit of flyaways and frizz and have more volume. So it's really up to you and your preference for instantly doesn't bother me like when I see curly girls with frizz, like I understand, like that's just a curly girl thing so, but I have a little bit more volume so right now, I'm just going to root Clip so I have a few different root clips that I use the ones that I have used for ages and ages and if you've watched any of my other videos, you know that I have talked about the Ebro curl clips. These are about two inches long, they're. Very very dense, I believe, they're made for girls with like type three up like 3b 3c for a up kind of curls arms have little more dense, but I still use them. I clip, and it holds my hair up nicely. The other ones that I got are from Sally's they're a little bit smaller. If you have sort of thinner hair - or you know you just don't - want the big s Clips like in your hair. I got these from Sally's and I got a box of 312 in here the diva Pro clips. I believe they give you eight or nine in the little packaging for the D, vocal clips, I'll link it down below, but it's not like inexpensive but they're, not super expensive and these difficult parts you get twelve. I want to say they're around two or three dollars at Sally's and they're a little bit smaller, but you can take smaller little chunks and still clip up the hair and it's not as heavy or big in the hair. So I mainly just gon na focus on the front of my hair. I'M gon na. Take this one note and always be gentle when taking out your clips, you don't want to pull. I trust my hair from side to side throughout the day, so I'm gnarly not going to focus on my part he's like scattered throughout my drawer, but I just want to give myself root, lift right around the front cuz. I do flip back and forth. Okay. So now my roots are clipped. I will be back in a little bit when my hair's completely dry and won't scratch out the crunch. Okay, so my hair is almost almost completely dry. There are a couple like dam spots, new migrants underneath, but that's not going to kill me to scrunch out the crunch. I would not recommend if your roots of top top are damp, but these are all the dry. Just underneath is a little damp. So I don't mind if I scrunch those out early cuz, you don't see them. Okay, just do this very gently, so we're not trying to break up the curls. Let'S be gentle. So now I'm just going to scrunch out the French put my fingers at my roots. Just to loosen it up just a bit and if you like me and your curls tend to fall a lot day, two don't fully scrunch out all the crunch like leave a little bit of it in so that your hair has a little bit of room to Scrunch the stuff out, while you sleep and then throughout the day, if you are a hair touch her or you just tend to play with your hair or flip it a lot just to leave a little bit of that crunch in and it will be awesome day. Two you'll have a lot more definition. Okay, so here are my finished results. I don't put anything else in. I have a lot more definition in the back of my head. Usually it is basically just almost like a 2a and the back. It'S really wavy, but look how the clumps turn out and look at the definition all the way up once I turn the brush upside down sort of doing this and flipping it over the back. You get a lot more definition of top so from here on out. I'M definitely going to be doing that when it comes to styling it's you know, you try things out and you like things along the way, but I'm really happy with my overall results. This is usually where I part it, so it's probably more defined this way, but that is how I use my Denman brush.
