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!

Product Description
Does the job!
The first Denman brush I bought originally came damaged somehow? The bristles were not glued to the brush handles like they were supposed to be. I returned the brush and got a new one. I was really excited to buy this brush for my daughters as they have curly, kinky, coily, hair. I do not. I tried the brush today and it worked great. I’m just worried for future use. I hope it doesn’t come unglued in the future after several uses.

Imagine a brush that transforms chaotic mornings into moments of pure magic. This is the story of the Denman brush, a hidden treasure in the hair world, also designed for curly hair.Pascal GrenierA great brush for my 4 princess and my queen
Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2023
Four years ago, a visionary hairdresser recommended it to my wife for our four daughters. The result? A revelation! Its ability to painlessly detangle and define curls is simply breathtaking. No more battling with stubborn tangles or fearing tears while styling.
Unlike traditional cushion bristle brushes, which can be a nightmare to clean, the Denman brush stands out for its ease of cleaning. A valuable time saver for any dynamic family!
But why is this brush so special? Its ingenious design with rows of nylon glides through the hair, separating each curl effortlessly. This is the key to well-defined, frizz-free curls.
Every morning, using this brush, it's like rediscovering the natural beauty of my 4 princesses' curly hair. A true celebration of their natural curls, without the hassle or pain.
Of course, no product is perfect. Some might find its price a bit high compared to regular brushes. But, believe me, it's an investment worth making. Imagine that it has been 4 years that we have used it 4 to 7 days a week for 5 people but we have two brushes at home. Plus it never smells bad.
If you're looking for a miracle solution to taming curly hair, look no further. The Denman brush is your secret ally. It has transformed our morning routines and can do the same for you. A life-changing purchase, guaranteed!
