How get wavy hair with Denman brushes

Morning my lovely ladies!

I was watching this video by Denman Brush http://tinyurl.com/nqv2b6p  which helps you choose which hair brush you need depending on the style you want.  I have a large collection of brushes but was missing the round brush for curling hair as I don't normally achieve that look.  I was so curious and loved the look of the round barrel brush I had to try it out....and also the tangle tamer as my hair is super prone to tangles.

I loved the results so I thought I would give a quick tutorial on how to achieve wavy hair using the Denman round barrel brush and tangle tamer.  I really like the below effect as it has more life and volume than straightened hair yet doesn't look wild at all.  I know you guys have seen my natural wild effect which is great for growing out your hair, but sometimes, a curl needs to look a little more tamed....especially if you're going out!

Achieving this look:

I used the following tools:

• Elnett heat protector
• Elnett hair spary
• Denman round brush
• Denman tangle tamer (£6.20) 

Prep the hair

• Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner 
• Towel dry
• Spray hair with Elnett heat defence
• Section the hair into quarters ear to ear

Curl the hair

• using the Denman round barrel brush take inch strands and blow dry from root to tip curling the brush around the hair and pulling down
• Work your way across each section then spray with hair spray
• Work on the fringe separately and pull away from the face to give more bounce
• Use the Denman tangle tamer to brush through the tight curls to loosen them to give more natural look

Picture overload as usual, sorry guys!

But I hope you like the wavy hair look that I achieved with Denman Brushes.  I felt a bit like Rapunzel and it was soo far from my usual poker straight hair I couldn't help fiddling with it all day.

Getting a sleek plait with Denman

Morning my Beauties!

In order for your hair to look good, its important to look after it with not just the right products but the right tools.  It's a shame it only took me 25 years to figure out!

Why would you want a sleek plait?

Easy - to avoid heat styling.  Even with hair protector, it really does ultimately damage the ends of the hair so where possible, if you can, natural is best.  I know, I know - natural is a painful word. It conjures images of  'out of control' and 'frizz' but that needn't be the case.

 I love wearing a sleek plait as its completely natural, giving my hair time to recover from the straightening during the week, as well as keeping it out of the way, under control and ultimately looking good. 

The Tools of the Trade - 

• (top brush in picture)The Denman D83 Porcupine Bristle Paddle Brush with Nylon quill RRP £12.50
• (bottom brush in picture)The Denman D83 Boar Bristle Paddle Brush  RRP £14.00

Achieving a sleek plait

• After washing your hair and detangling it gently blow dry your hair running your fingers through it to remove larger knots.
• When dry use the Denman porcupine brush with the nylon quill to remove all smaller knots.  This brush is fantastic for thicker hair given its paddle shape and plastic needles which effortlessly pass through the hair while the bristles add shine.
• Next using the Denman boar bristle brush which is designed to add shine gently go over your hair again and sweep it to the side with this brush, gently sweeping any stray hairs together.
• Then, gently plait from your chin length down to the ends.
• To fiinsih, brush your fringe with the boar brush to add shine and sweep it behind your ears. 

These two Denman brushes are a fantastic duo for detangling and for adding shine to your hair giving a great sleek look to your 'do'.  I love having them in my collection and I'm sure they'll last as long as some of my other denman brushes which I've had over 10 years!

I hope you guys found it helpful, let me know if you have tried any of them out before!!
