Denman Mini Curl & Blow-Dry Styling Brush – Define Curls, Smooth Frizz & Style Short Hair with Precision, D14 Floral Fantasy (Floral Fantasy)

Tinier than I thought but so worth it! Makes it easier to style my wavy hair and it’s such good quality! I love it!

Take it from a hairdresser: This small brush looks toy-like, but it’s a professional-grade tool ideal for blow-drying short hair. With the pins pointing down, roll the brush into your roots to lift them against the direction they grow. With the other hand, aim your dryer’s flow-directing nozzle down the hair shaft toward the roots. Of course you must keep moving to avoid burning your scalp. This technique takes practice but produces a nice lift in volume and you can encourage hair to lay the way you wish. I trained at Vidal Sassoon, where back in the day standard-sized Denman brand brushes were mandated for all blow-dry styling. It can be tricky to learn to properly style your own hair, but for very short haircuts this little Denman really helps. While a larger brush might be easier to hold, this specific size and shape provides the perfect gentle curve to fit short hair, such as a pixie cut. It can make a big difference in the finished look. Excellent quality, smoothly finished so it will never snag or slice hair as cheaper look-alikes often do - it’s a compact but effective tool to brush or detangle hair while traveling or to carry in your purse. IMO well worth the somewhat steep price because it’s made to withstand daily, all-day heavy use under high heat in salons. So it’ll last you the rest of your life!

I actually haven't tried using it for blow drying yet, but it does seem like the perfect brush for that. I have tried using this brush for detangling and it does the job, but it's hard to say if it's taking out unnecessary amounts of hair or if that's just me. I would not recommend this brush for detangling if you have high density 4C (and maybe 4B) hair like me. As this brush is small and it would take an impractical amount of time to do my whole head with this brush. Even if I had the bigger version of this brush, I would say this brush is likely a better detangler for looser textures unless you're blow drying your hair with the Tension Method. I have not tried it for defining my hair. I may come back and edit this review if I do though

Works on my natural hair

This brush performs beautifully, but it's very difficult to hold. The handle is too small and uncomfortable in my hands. For the price you would think more thought would have been given to the handle design.

Growing up in England, I always had a Denman or Mason Pearson brush. After moving to America and finally wearing out or losing all of my brushes, I went to Walgreens to find another. I think I've tried just about every brand of brush; Conair, Revlon, Vidal Sasson, Goodie, Kent.... the list goes on. At one point I did find one nice Revlon brush, but I lost it and by that time it was discontinued. I went through a hairbrush every two months, it seemed. The nubs on the top of the bristles would catch on a tangle in my hair and sometimes rip my hair out. I would get disgusted because lint would get caught around the bristles and the nub on the top of the bristle wouldn't allow the lint to be cleaned off. The actual bristle holes would get dirty, and cleaning them was a chore which involved my nail brush and a toothpick. Not to mention, all of these brushes felt cheap and poorly designed. I bought a boar bristle brush from Conair (which I am still very pleased with), but the bristles weren't enough to get the job done, especially when my hair was wet. Finally, after much aggravation, I asked my mother about the hairbrushes I remembered from England, and then began my search on Amazon. I found this product. I bought two. They are exactly how my mother and I remember them. The bristles aren't too sharp and feel divine against the scalp. Any lint or stray hairs are easily removed from the bristles (no annoying nub on the top!). If the holes get dirty, the rubber cushion can be removed from the handle, the bristles pulled out, and everything can be given a good washing. Re-assembly is very easy and straightforward. Even so, I don't find myself having to clean this brush very often. When we first received the brushes, it was a little annoying because the rubber kept sliding out due to the smooth, sealed surface of the rubber. We pulled the rubber out, and cleaned the plastic holder and rubber cushion with some soap and water. It stays in fine now, it just needs to have a little rubber grippy-ness. I wish these brushes were available everywhere. I wish I could give one to everyone. Please, save yourself the money and the time and get yourself a nice Denman brush. If you have the extra money, opt for a Mason Pearson.

I was already a fan of Denman brushes and this is a great colorway. The mini size is perfect for travel and retains the quality of standard size brushes.

Muy bueno

Best brush brand

I didn’t realize this was a mini brush when I purchased, but it’s actually proven to be a good thing for me. I use it to help lift and create curl clumps in the shower and it’s perfect. Turned out to be a great buy for me.

Parfait, j'ai acheté cette brosse pour les cheveux de ma fille qui sont bouclés, démêle bien sans douleur 🙂
