Denman D3 Original Curl Definer & Styler, Curly Hair Brush for Women & Men – 7 Row Detangling & Curl Defining Brush for Smooth Defined Curls - a precision Styling Brush for straight hair

This brush has become a staple in my routine. I have fine, curly hair that can be picky with tools, and this one works beautifully without snagging, pulling, or causing unnecessary shedding. It gives great slip, distributes product nicely, and helps define curls on days I want to air-dry and layer products for a natural finish. What surprised me is how well it works on straight-style days too. It provides good tension when blow-drying, which helps smooth everything out without feeling like it's ripping hair or fighting tangles. It feels durable and high-quality, and the design is genuinely pretty - one of the few styling tools that feels both functional and nice to look at. If you have fine curls and want something gentle yet effective for both curly and sleek styles, this is an excellent brush. It’s become one of my go-to tools for wash days and quick styling

To start off, I’d like to say that this brush is amazing. It has changed my hair completely and I use it in curly hair routine almost every single day. I have very thick, course hair that I have find trouble finding good products for, so I am happy that I found out about the Denman brush. The purpose of the Denman brush is to, “define curls, detangle, and smooth the hair,” and I can confirm that the description is accurate, and this brush successfully does what it’s supposed to do. This is gentle alternative of detangling curly hair than a regular paddle brush, which is a big NO for curly girls because paddle brushes can cause damage and breakage to already naturally dry curly hair. The Denman Brush has made it easy for me to get big knots out of my hair without causing split-ends. It also causes my hair to clump together and I love how defined my curls come out because of this brush. There are seven rows on the rubber pad and these rows can be removed to create bigger or smaller curl clumps depending on how many rows are kept in. I love that this brush creates such beautiful curls instead of stringy looking hair. I used to have trouble with my hair never clumping together and it would basically look like “Ramen Noodle” hair, but this brush solved this issue. The Denman brush also smoothens my hair and create a uniform sleek curl and prevents my hair to frizz up. The description also says that this brush is, “ideal for creating tight curls, root lift or for shorter hair,” and I’m happy to agree with this statement as well. My curls do look tighter and have more of a coil when I use this brush in a certain way. I’ve noticed that a lot of people don’t know how to use a Denman brush to create coils and will quickly give it a bad review, but there is a specific way to use it. To achieve coily curls, I brush my hair from underneath and start turning the brush to make a spiral. In other words, I coil my hair around the brush. It’s basically the same process as curling your hair with a flat iron. It also does cause my roots to be more voluminous and prevents my hair from becoming flat and sad. I highly recommend the Denman brush to every curly-headed girl out there because I strongly believe that I will become your best friend and make your curly hair routine way easier.

I have short 4c hair. Used this to detangle and blow dry. What a difference. Finally able to get my hair straight enough to trim. Highly recommend

This is good curling brush to use while your hair is wet 💧no complaints at all!

After being natural for over 10 years, I finally see what all the hype is about with the Denman brush! I first tried a knockoff from my local beauty supply store, but it broke during my very first detangling session on my curls and coils. I ordered the real Denman brush and have been using it every day for over a month now, and it hasn’t broken at all. It detangles smoothly and defines my curls and coils in such a beautiful way. I highly recommend this brush—it is truly worth the hype!

I absolutely loved it. It detangled my hair so well, doesn’t have any weird smell, and hasn’t broken on me for my tangled hair lol. For reference I’d say I have 2c/3a hair. It’s also super easy to clean and the bristles can be take out which makes it so much nicer!

Great for curly 3b-3c hair, keeps my curl defined and detangled. It is durable and easy to clean. Absolutely love it!

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!
