Denman brush??

So what are the effects of a denman brush?

And could I use it on my transitioning hair or would it break off my hair at the point where the 2 textures meet?

Hello Aprilj90,

I love my denman brush, but im not sure about the effects on transitioning hair.

I don't really know the answer to this question but this question was raised in lhcf (Long Hair Care Forum) and alot of curlies who transition give their experience with Denman brushes.

I actually used my Denman brush during the last half of my 16 month transition. I used it to help smooth my hair out before putting it into bantu knots, & it worked great!

When I used my Denman the first time early on in my transition and I hated it...seemed like it was ripping my hair out

Then I saw a youtube video about modifying it by taking out every other row of teeth. I gave it another try recently and loved it. I'm sure I'll love it even more after I BC. Just make sure you detangle completely before you use it, and use small sections.

so it works better than a shower comb?

I dont like the denman brush I have fell in love with my jilbre shower comb! But than again my huurrr is THICK!

ugh my hair is really thick and always ends up in these tiny little knots around my head that is a pain to take out [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

@aprilj90 even with your shower comb[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]<----- This comb right here is the bizness! for 1.59 you cant beat it!

That's the same shower comb I have and I stopped using that darn thing...it just made me mad lol

OH LAWD NOOOOO WHY IT MADE YOU MAD LOL!

Well maybe because I still have a inbetween TWA but for right now it gets the job done that denman brush [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

girl the stories I could tell you!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] 1) I can't get it through my hair 2) on some small chance it actually DOES go through, half my hair comes out with it!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I realize that if I had less hair it would probably be easier to detangle but combing my hair out isn't the way I envisioned my BC...lol

i use the jilbere shower comb in the shower ONLY. I detangle my hair with the shower comb under running water or after I've drinched my hair in conditioner. The shower comb stays in the shower where as the denman which should definitely be modified unless you have the Denman D31 for afro texture hair which is what I have. The D31 is great for styling and it doesnt tug at my strands. The less teeth the brush has, the better.

I guess I gotta get a D31 then...

I use a modified denman only after finger or comb detangling if I want to clump my curls or for my daugther's hair prior to braiding. I a BC so I don't know about the 2 textures, but I do not like it as my initial form of detangling. I like it best when I distribute product.
