After attending the Loving Her Fiercely event and participating in Chris-Tia Donaldson's presentation, I learned about the Denman Brush .  Chris-Tia spoke highly of this brush and then after that one of my Queens (Fatemah) made mention of this tool as well.  So, I had to try it out.

The Purchase

I'll be honest, the thought of brushing my natural hair did not appeal to me at all.  I repeat - AT ALL!  I just didn't get it.  Why would anyone brush those fragile coils?  I began to research the experiences of others and for the sake of my readers, I broke down and bought one.  I went to Sally's not once but, twice.  The first time I picked up the brush, looked at it, touched it and said NO WAY!  The brush has hard plastic bristles.  I just couldn't see it.

The next day I returned to the store and the brush was on sale.  I purchased the brush and let it sit for a few days before making the decision to give it a try.

The Brush

This is one sophisticated brush.  There are several brush types you can purchase and they are given a code.  Yes, a code - letter and number combination.  Now, that's special.  I actually purchased the D3 model. LOL!

The Experience

I was scared!  I barely comb my hair (only once per week after a co-wash), so to brush it kind of freaked me out a little bit.  Nonetheless, I did my normal cleanse, detangle and four braids.  I opted to saturate my tresses prior to using the brush.  This is a must!  The hair MUST be saturated with water before you even think about using this brush.  I also added a bit of Taliah Waajid's Healing Oyl for added [insert kissing noise here].

What a pleasant surprise!  I didn't lose any hair!  As my hair began to dry I began to lose hair, so I can't stress enough the importance of completely saturating the hair with water before using this brush.  It glided through my tresses and left me with the ringlets I miss so much.  I had a lot of shrinkage, but that is to be expected with my hair.  I'll be certain to use this tool when I want an ultra curly short-looking 'do'.  Check out the video!
