Lol when i started wearing satin bonnets *all the time* (when at home) i expected my whole family to ask about it and judge and make fun of the new weird look... literally about two weeks in my brother asked me why i always "had that thing on my head"; i explained to him the reason and he was like oh ok, cool. .. and other than that it was like they didn't even notice. I was shocked😳😂

@MsWeirdolover 4 года назад

The denim brush somehow separated my hair more than usual, and STRETCHED out my hair. Not my personal preference. Maybe you can do a "denman brush do's and don'ts " like you did with diffusing? And if you did and my notifications did not tell me I'm gonna be so mad at RU-vid.

@ManesByMell 4 года назад

LOL dont blame youtube, thats not video I've created (yet) but depending on our hair texture, scrunching after is so so crucial! Try using it on more wet than damp hair, make sure you're turning the brush enough and lots of scrunching after! You'll have to experiment but dont get discouraged if it doesnt work, not every technique is for every texture! Make sure you'r using protein in your routine!

@NonaNona_39 4 года назад

I’ve seen in some denman brush vids how some people rotate the brush to get their curls to define more (like how you get large curls while straightening hair. Example: on The Fit Curls channel). Johanna Cheryl did a unique rotating technique also. I’ve even seen someone sort of wrap her hair once in the brush and comb through to get her curls defined (Kat’s Makeup Station was the channel!). So I definitely say there are some little tricks out there to try.

@MsWeirdolover 4 года назад

Thank you both so much for taking the time to explain that! I completely appreciate it :) And don't worry Mel, I'll take the RU-vid logo off my dart board (disclaimer: people please know I am only joking. I'm not that bad.)

@villyjean 4 года назад

I've heard the size of the Denman can affect the curls too. A lot of people even remove sections to help with that, but it's a lot of trial and error. I tried that and wasn't terribly happy so I'll be buying a new Denman, but a lot of people are happy with it.

@susanfill5280 4 года назад

I don't have the patience either and the Denman brush is definitely not for my hair. I finger coil in larger clumps for the "underneath layer" and then do the smaller finger coils around the top layer of my head, gently scrunch, and it looks great through day 5, sometimes 6. In other words, I cheat.

@dianareynolds2446 4 года назад

@nataliedean7551 Год назад

Thank you, SO MUCH, for explaining the Denman Brush! I know it has been around for a long time. I remember it when I was a kid, and I was born in the 60s. I have 3 different kinds of hair, very slightly wavy, very wavy, and ringlet curls, so it's really hard to get perfect definition. I lost a bunch of hair (over 3/4 - thank goodness I had really thick hair) due to illness, and all the new hair grew back very thick, wavy, and very curly. What's left of the old hair is thin and still on the straighter side, so it's a challenge to style it, especially the curly hair, and especially since I'm so new at dealing with these different textures. I really enjoy your tutorials and your wackiness! It's so refreshing! THANKS! 😁

@yen0607 4 года назад

I can't believe the ultimate mystery of my 18 years in this life and the various experiments and products i used to no avail... my mistake was the way i brushed my hair. the top part of my hair is always very frizzy and loses the clear outline of a curl and the end product is so awful that i always have to half tie it or whatever just to tame that part. First day I tried to do your way of brushing and I've seen a tremendous difference, the shape of the curls is now visible again and the frizz is still there but much less than before. I think if I stick to this and focus on repairing my hair with oils and masks I'll finally solve the equation that is my hair. I'm honestly shocked that very few curly-hair youtubers pointed this out.

@kaitlynfoley4999 4 года назад

Mell, have you ever thought about doing online consultations? I'm willing to bet A LOT of people would come to you for advice one on one. Your videos are amazing and so helpful, but curly hair is such an amazing work of art and too much information can be hard to follow for some. And of course people can visit you in Toronto, but some people can't reach you. I would pay for one on one hair advice. I know many others would too. You should think about it! I love your videos! 😫

Thanks so much Mel for all the info!! I do want to try finger coiling sometime soon but will have to block out some time for it :) Quick question about the denmen brush technique - after running it through each section, do you just let it drop as is or do you scrunch it at all? Thanks!

Hi mel, hoping you can help, any tips to help with menopause night sweats, i have tried wearing a bonnet, but it gets way too hot and my hair becomes a frizzy mess, i`m just using a silk pillow now, still a frizzy mess but less sweaty. any advice would be great, cheers from the uk x

Mell!!! I love your channel so much!! I am a mom to two little kids, so I don't get to watch it as often as I want to. However, when I get the chance, I sneak in several back to back episodes to catch up! You always make me smile and teach me something in each video! Thanks for being you!

Oh, yeah, btw...in addition to your hair being amazing, so is your skin/make-up!! I need to know those secrets too!

5:38 I had to slow this down to 1/4 speed and watch it about 10 times to understand that after the FIRST LOOP... slide the curl OFF your finger. Not doing this is why I can only wrap the hair around my finger, instead of wrapping my hair around my hair, like Mell does. Going to try this tomorrow as I wait for my Denman brush from Amazon (order placed via Prime on April 6TH!!)

My hair isn't nearly as curly as yours but GIRL your other video has helped me. Even the diffuser one

@bluecurlygirl 4 года назад

Just transitioning back to curls so these uploads are invaluable. Thank you. For me it'd be the finger coiling for a special occasion/movie night and the denman for most other times cos I am sooo impatient. Almost half a century and still haven't learned that skill!!

@marilyngonzalez99 4 года назад

just bought my Denman brush, sooo hype!

@adriannathekitteh2189 4 года назад

I finger coiled a lot when I was transitioning and I purchased a denman brush so I mainly use that when I style my hair. I want to find a good diffuser for that next level style 🤩😄

@ManesByMell 4 года назад

Exactly what i did!! And this diffuser is pretty bomb i love how versatile it is but its not just the tool, its how you use it!!

@@ManesByMell Did you mean that with any traces of innuendo, or is it just me and my dirty mind? (I love you, BTW. My "curls" and barely 2b so there's really not much "popping", but I still watch you because you make me smile!)

@consciouslypure2176 4 года назад

Love this video! I’m definitely not interested in finger coiling, I have 2b wavy hair but wonder whether the Denman brush really is better than just using any other brush? It looks like a normal brush, what’s special about it? Any explanation would be greatly appreciated as I’m unsure if it would do anything to my hair!

@RebelRhiannon 3 года назад

It’s curved and the part holding the bristles in is very grippy texture so it allows you to put a lot of tension on the hair to really give it that spring back effect, you can also remove rows to suite your hair better.

@Mine-mo2cc 4 года назад

I have a question: I once watched a yter put gel on first, before using the Denman Brush. What are the pros/cons? Which one would you recommend?

@bonjour9173 4 года назад

Mine, usually putting on gel first makes the hair glob together. I’ve been having issues using the denman and getting all of my curls more uniform. I know a lot of the styling has to do with the “feeling” of your hair. Before I damaged the curl out of my hair (essentially), I had a series of products and a hair dryer with diffuser that were all great. I knew what my hair felt like and looked like prior to drying, so that when I did dry, my curls would be poppin. But I’ve since lost that knowledge and am in the process of finding products that work with my hair and the “feeling” my hair has when properly styled before drying. I usually use gel as the very last product by prayer hands and scrunching. My original formula was 2 mousses, a light cream, and 2 gels. But it’s been a minute since that formula worked for me and I know two of the gels don’t exist anymore. Neither does the company that made my favourite hair dryer and diffuser. Hope this helps somewhat!

@ManesByMell 4 года назад

Well, I strongly suggest you watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pMV8JHS6HCA.html I share the order of applying your products and why. My philosophy is that gel is mainly added for hold. I like to pre-set the curls (with moisturizer and brush) then glaze them with gel to hold that shape in place. In my experience brushing the gel through might make the brushing harder to do depending on what kind your using, can give crunchier results and take away volume. But you never know yourself if you don't try! Don't be afraid to experiment styling techniques on you hair, it just might revolutionize your routine!
