Denman Brush

This article covers original brushes and the most popular uses for the Denman brush. Also covered are the 6 different types of general purpose brushes and their use. But first let's start out by getting to know the Denman company a little better and the different types of hair brushes. Let's start with the types of hair brushes.

Original Denman Brushes

A hairbrush is a stick brush with stiff or soft bristles used to smooth, style and detach human hair. In combination with a curling iron or hair dryer, it can also be used for styling.

For example, after sleeping or showering, a flat brush is normally used to detach hair. For styling and curling hair, a round brush can be used, especially by a professional stylist, often with a hair dryer. To straighten the hair and tame fly-aways, a paddle brush is used. Many bristle materials are not suitable for babies with fine, soft hair because of the hardness; instead, some synthetic materials and horse or goat hair bristles are used.

Types of Brushes

Different types of brushes are used for different purposes or have special characteristics that benefit certain types of hair.

Round brush: Usually used for adding fullness and movement to the hair with a blow dryer. Some

have a base of metal or ceramic to heat up during blow drying.

Vent brush: Vents allow more air to flow between the bristles, but the drying time is not affected.

Cushion brush: Bristles are mounted on a rubber cushion or mat for additional flexibility in order to minimize hair breakage during removal. A popular line of cushion brushes is produced by Denman.

Paddle brush: A broad base allows for more exposure during blow drying; flexible teeth are designed to minimize breakage, although some believe that it does not work.

Detangler brush: Features such as spacious, flexible, nylon teeth are designed to be gentle on tangled or knotted hair.

Boar bristle brush: Tightly spaced boar- hair bristles are designed to increase brushing tension and smooth the hair.

Pro Tip: Depending on the texture and whether the hair is wet or dry, the brushing effects will be different. Usually straight hair looks smoother when brushed. When brushed dry, curly hair tends to expand. Which makes working with straight hair easier.

A round hairbrush is sometimes used with a blow-dryer to style medium- long hair.Or can be used as a curling brush.

A hairbrush with a cushion is used to detach hair. Denman's finishing brush with natural bristle, air- coated for comfort, brings out your natural brightness, smoothness and refresh your hair. The brushes reduce frizz and add the final polish to your style, perfect for up-styling or brushing out curls.
