The Denman Brush can help women with FINE WAVY Hair get SERIOUS Curl Definition! 

My grandmother taught me this in the late 1980’s. Definitely not a new technique, just a well kept secret.

Someone’s momma or grandma most have told them about this technique. We did this back in the day with a brush handle. 💙

Hi Gabi Greetings from the UK. Just wanted to let you know that Ive tried this technique twice so far and it DEFINITELY works on my wavy hair texture too. Im so impressed with the results. For reference I have thick, frizzy dense wavy 2B hair. My waves naturally are wonky and unstructured I watched the technique from your video about 3 times to make sure . Your instructions and guidance were so clearly explained I couldnt really go wrong. Made sure I did this on soaking wet hair that was well lubricated with a leave in conditioner plus a hair oil. ( my hair type benefits from lots of moisture). The only thing I did differently was to glaze the curls with a curl creme gel AFTER I had formed them with the Denman. Takes me about 20 mins to do on carefully sectioned hair then 15 mins to hover diffuse. I let it air dry the rest of the way. Has worked so well for me. My hair looks so defined. Many many thanks. Your channel is so good and you have a very relatable style with relevant content for all us wavies whether we choose to smooth and straighten or embrace the wavy texture. So helpful. Keep up the good work Gabi and thanks again. 💕

We did this in the 60’s before we went to the beach. Some magazine said we would get more natural lighting (and damage) from our Sun-In if we had curls. And yes, lightner and gel turned to a goopy mess in the sun. Great memories though. Thanks for the updated version.

I just found and subscribed. My poor baby girl who is 30 suffering hairless, you had very helpful things that I will be forwarding to her🙏 You are absolutely beyond gorgeous!

THANK YOU for a detailed and informative video! My hair texture is almost identical to yours and this video is the BEST on RU-vid. I finally know how to use my Denman brush and get beautiful, defined curls!

I keep seeing the Denman used like this in videos but I found the Scrunch It brush WAY easier than the Denman to create serious coils that last for days (with gel and diffusing) in my naturally wavy hair. The Scrunch It is actually designed to make coils so it’s less awkward and more effective than Denman for that purpose. I seriously don’t understand why everyone isn’t using/talking about the Scrunch It brush because it was a game changer for me! My Denman went into storage as soon as I got the Scrunch It brush! You should check it out and tell people about it! (I’m not an influencer so no one would care what I say, lol)

Omg, your hair is JUST like you described- I have LOTS of hair, but the texture is fine and for years I thought my hair was just frizzy, but straight, lol. I just got a denman brush and have been using it to brush my wet hair to define the waves, but now I want to try this technique! My hair is about the same length as yours too, so many curly hair videos show super long hair, so this is very helpful!

i do this technique with a rat-tail / weaving comb and I love it, it gives definition, and really help with frizzing issues when i airdry it!

The Denman brush is a miracle tool. The best tool to define my daughters large curls, but also the fastest way to style my very straight curtain bangs. :D Love the Denman.

I have curly on the bottom and wavy on the top. Been doing the curly girl method for two months and using this brush and doing this technique has helped my top layer become more curly.

Wow, it turned out so beautiful! I love your hair like this. Thanks for sharing this 😊💕

You are my wavy hair twin, so I am glad to know this will work on wavy hair! My density is coarse though so I am hoping it will still work well with a different texture

I have a combo of wavy and some curly areas. My hair is fine with thin/ low density. I have definitely found if I dry or even scrunch style upside down my hair gets frizzy and definitely messes up my curl pattern. I can scrunch when applying products but have to redo the back where I have cowlick. I also do better with a gel after leave in conditioner in terms of hold and anti-humidity. The new Verb Foam Gel works pretty well for me. I also like the Tre Luxe line. For heavy duty anti humidity hold Ouidad Anti humidity gel. All these need to be scrunched out with a lightweight hair oil unless you like the hard cast feel and look.

I have done something similar in the past but not with my Denman, which I have lost along the way. Just ordered another one. Looks gorgeous. Thanks Gabi!

I have an in between curly and wavy hair. I feel like it's so much more work/time to have my hair curly but its a lot healthier not using so many heat products. Thanks for the video. You are beautiful!!!

Your video explained my hair totally. Going to try this!

I was wondering how to do this with the brush. I ended up just scrunching it because my hair kept getting tangled up in the brush. I'm going to try this on my next wash day. I bought all of the Keratin products from your link and I'm looking forward to using them with the denman brush technique. Thank you

This is totally my hair!! Fine but lots of it, and air drying looks horrible because of the wave and frizz. I need to try this!!

I ABSOLUTELY love you 😍 and you are my new hair best friend. I said it once and I’ll say it again, 33 years of not knowing properly how to manage and style my hair type (which is wavy fine ) left me doing lots of hot tool damage and updos so it’s so wonderful to learn what I’m learning from you, better late than never I always say, plus my 15 year old has hair like mine and I send her these videos lol at least she can learn at a young age properly how to “deal” with her hair lol, my 11 year old has dead straight fine yet thickish hair like my mother did so the fine hair is def a family trait no matter how it comes out!

Said it before, and just for reference say it again. We are hair twins. Same fine hair medium density wavy hair. Although some of my strands are curly, some are straight, most are wavy and gets frizz and humidity will reverse a perfect blow out. When my hair was long I would twist it and let it air dry into beachy waves. My hair really grew a lot during the summer so recently started to let it air dry again. I now use a leave-in curl conditioner and finger twist my locks into ringlets. Looks great the first day. Second day has a lot of body with a big wave and still like it. Will have to try the Denman technique to see if the curl has more lasting power.

I am so elated that you popped up in my recommendations! SUBSCRIBED!

I am glad that I finally have found others with the same hair type as myself.

I tried with a vent brush and got the same effect. My hair is fine though, so can't say it'll work for everyone. I'm not into Shirley Temple ringlets so when my hair is dry I carefully separate them. I can't wait to use my brush upside down! Didn't think of that. Thanks!

You are so pretty! Your hair looks gorgeous when straight/ or wavy / curly!! Whatever you do , works

Okay okay! You're amazing! You're always a joy in my life. Just a really great teacher I thank you so much ✝️🙏💗

Thanks for watching hair besties! If you want to learn even more about how to style wavy hair, I recommend watching this video next: Your FINE FRIZZY hair is WAVY/CURLY and you have no idea… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--V2-OFf7L4U.html If you are interested in the products that I used, you can find all of the links in the description box.

I don't own a special brush but I will definitely try this technique out with my regular brush. I have thinning hair as well as curly underneath and wavy on top and I always have such a hard time dealing with styling it so I just let it air dry and throw it up on a pony and forget about it. This technique is a well kept secret and a game changer for sure. Looking forward to doing this on my next wash day!

I was going to ask about that brush you used on a previous video. I was searching for it. I liked how it grab and smooth your hair .

Thank you so much. This truly helped. Your hair looks fabulous and you look gorgeous

Hi Gabi, looks awesome! I have an off-topic question I have very similar hair to yours; I have an appointment next week for a keratin express to get me through the next couple months of humidity. What are your thoughts on that procedure for wavy fine hair? My stylist says she works the iron in a curvy fashion to promote fullness.

Great vid! I am going to try this tomorrow. I have the brush and my hair a bit curlier than yours but have just been scrunching…and love that …so this may be the holy grail! Thanks Gabby gorgeous! 🙏🏼🙂❤

Another great vid! My hair has become more and more wavy through my adult life. It began when I was pregnant with my daughter...(hormones?). It has continued to become much more frizzy during menopause...(hormones again?) My hair texture is similar to yours. I have a good bit of hair, but it is baby fine. I can sometimes get my hair into spirals, if it doesn't decide to FRIZZ. I will try this technique. Thank you!

I use my Denman brush with the handle facing down. Section hair from ear to ear, and pile on top of head, twirl the bottom sections of hair - in the bristles - and slowly pull the brush out of your hair (going toward your waist). Take the hair from the top of your head, and twirl sections of hair around the bristles of the brush, twirling downward until you have a head of spirals. Let air dry..then run run fingers through to loosen the spirals.

Thank you for calling the "disorganized wave" pretty even though its not the look you are going for in this video. So many videos glamorize ringlets and demonize disorganized wavy hair and it definitely makes me feel at times that my hair is not good enough.

I've found I get decent spirals underneath but my top layers (growing out my silver) have less definition. I can use the denman on top layers only and it's definitely an improvement. Starting with the "bounce curl" brush lately to see if it's any better.

you looks so pretty with ur hair i really love it so much❤❤❤❤❤

Gabi, Do you prefer this technique over the Tymo? I think the Tymo would be faster, however, you don't get a curl on the very ends unless you go back and bend them in. I love the tymo, and have about the same wave pattern as you.

❣️You and I have THE SAME hair type so I really appreciate your videos‼️❤️

Ooohhh! I have wavy hair too! This looks awesome. I’m gonna get this brush and try this! What is the difference between the 9 row and 7 row brush?

OMG!! Can't wait to try!!!

My aunts used to do this to our hair when we were kids just using a comb and letting it air dry without product. I dont think you need a fancy denman brush. I started doing this in the spring just using my hands. I would get nice big loose curls that were shiny and not frizzy. But i guess it depends on your hair

I was so confused by the whole Denman brush thing for so long! I thought "well, my hair is already plenty wavy when I let it do it's own thing, why should I try this weird fad?" But y'all, I finally tried it today. It was weird at first and I didn't know if I was doing it right for the first couple clumps, but the results speak for themself. I'm a Denman brush convert for life.

Great video, thank you. How many ringlet sections do you think you did? I have been doing 3 on each quadrant (top/bottom; left/right) and it’s not working out very well. Based on this video I think I should do more. Do you have an estimate on number?

I can get natural ringlets in the underside of my hair and the top is usually slightly wavy, sometimes straight no mater the products or how I dry it. My hair is long, ranging past my shoulders to the beginning of my ribs, so I know my hairs weight has a bit to do with that. Makes me wonder if using this brush like this could make a difference for the length of my hair now before I cut it.

I have 2c/3a and have tried finger twisting. Curly hair takes a long time to dry with this method because the hair is clumped and I end up with frizz, especially the next day.

Fun video! I dont own a Denman yet. Does it need to be a D4? Or would a D3 work exactly the same? Thoughts?

Hey Gabi I just found out I have wavy hair very similar to your and I’m just starting to use products and was wondering if you could help with some tips and tricks I also just found your account definitely a new subscriber

My hair is very very dark brunette I have a lot of gray coming in around my face and crown. I love your color and the “highlight color too. Do you share that information?

what I found made a much bigger difference is when you unravel it out instead of just pulling the brush down, when you pull it down it basically just ruins the curl that you just made with the brush handle.

Thank you for sharing!

Brushes are never confused

Have u ever considered doing a makeup tutorial? Ur makeup looks fantastic in every vid. I could use somma ur tips, esp ur eye makeup

thanks for the video, I have wavy, frizzy hair and want only to have it smooth wavy. can I use this brush too ?

Thanks for your help, lady!! I have thin hair, and appreciate it! Did you give us the name of your LIPSTICK 💄{Caps so anybody else looking for lipstick name can find it easier}

Have you tried the AuBonacci styler root brush for curly hair? It seems expensive and not sure wit is worth it.

My hair is fine and thin but a little curlier than yours. My hair dries to fast to use the brush this way but I love the idea! I definitely need this brush however!

I would not say this is "a new, different way". I remember my mom had a similar brush and she would twist her hair around it. I remember trying to do it and getting my hair wrapped all around that orange and white brush lol. Also, waves are curls. If they weren't curls, you wouldn't get a spiral curl when you style the hair without heat.

You look young, fresh and free with this hair. You should wear it a lot more during Spring and Summer

My hair is layered. Would this brush still work for me?

Hello beautiful, I would appreciate your answer, sorry, could you tell me or send me the link of where you bought your original denman brush please:(

You do have spiral waves. When it was dry its 2B waves. I have to try this on myself! I have 3B hair but my roots like to act like they are wavy and I have a hard time getting them to curl up properly so it gets so flat at the roots and I don’t get volume on the top which drives me crazy.

Absolutely beautiful 😍 🤩 gorgeous!!!

My hair has like a wavy curl.. cause if my hair gets damp the shorter hair will spiral curl … my baby new hair in the front like to try to curl up on me and sometimes it’s hard to get straightened out.. and when I have bangs the curl on their own but they want to curl out cause I got a cowlick in the front in the middle of my head.. so I have to really work at it.. Also I have fine thin hair too

Hey, you did an amazing job. Love it.

Omg! I thought you were Kim Kardashian at first. Thanks for the video

Hi I love your video's. I love your lashes. What brand are you wearing?

Curly girls do this with their fingers. Actually I styled my hair like this on Sunday. It helps me to create less volume. If I want more volume, I twist my hair around my finger.

You could use number of brushes similar to a classic denman. But your hair in all honesty looked great just scrunched.

Yes of course it works on wavy hair! Wavy hair is still curly!!

How do you stop the hair from snagging in the brush?

Where can I get a denmen brush you're hair looks great

Thanks queen

Can you do a video on your eyeshadow?

How long does the curl last during the day?

This is my EXACT hair type!

THANK you ❤❤❤

My hair was always super straight..now that I'm older it's very wavy/curly when wet but no matter what I do it either falls flat or looks oversprayed/gelled/moussed lol

Use a wire mesh calendar

im dying yall are SO LUCKY 15 minute hair routine i have thick dry curly hair my hair routine takes me a hour lol yall don't even need a diffuser or deman brush

Love your videos. You are so gorgeous. May I ask where your bracelets are from? So pretty 💜💜

Denman brushes have been around for DECADES!! ❤

Thank you so much

My wavy hair looks frizzy air dried or blow dried even with leave-in and Ola plex 6. Explain that.

Try the scrunch it brush

Looks great! However, I'm not patient enough to do this. 😅

Thank you

2 things 1, how do you look so different in every video, it’s amazing 2, if you have straight or wavy hair you can twist it (not too tight) but then you have to hold until dry which is very time consuming

your so pretty and I have a similar style as you, would you share your skin and beauty upkeep routine, you are aging backwards in my opinion and we all need the help we can get

You can do this with any brush or comb, you don't need an expensive Denman ;)

Beautiful curls but for my fine hair it is a no go

I have noticed you didn’t use any heat protection even though you used high heat in your diffuser!!

A newer brush called bounce curl is so much better for me and it looks cool too!

I need your nose jewelry can you tell me where its from?! 💕

Looks good but who has that much time to spend doing it?

I've been using a Denman brush for decades. It's the only brush that works well for my thick hair.

Time for me to go find a Denman brush!

Can you use the wooden handle denman brush?

And why can't you do with other brushes??? Or a stick?

Who has the time to do this?!! Not me
