No Brush is Created Equal!

Spread the Love

While I still need some help with my wardrobe one area I seem to have started doing better with when it comes to my looks is my hair. When I was young I had a perm and I pretty much kept that perm until I met my husband. As the styles began to change like everyone else I started to let the curls go and in brace straight. Unfortunately my hair is not completely straight. In fact if I let it dry on its own I end up with a mess. I have just enough wave to make it look out of place and the ends look a little frizzy. So when I had the chance to review a set of Denman brushes from Folica as well as an instructional video I said SURE!

My kit came with 6 brushes (found below) and an instruction video Essential Blowdrying (step-by-step blowdry tutorial for twelve looks)

Before:

(My hair never looks bad wet but definitely when it drys it looks like i just woke up)I watched the DVD for the long layered hair. The DVD had tutorials for different lengths and looks and this one matched my own style. Unfortunately the first video I watched included two brushes that were not included in the kit, a pin brush (for defrizzing) and a wooden curling brush. The second video was how to get volume and curls without a curling iron. I was actually impressed with the technique and outcome. For that one however you needed several of the head hugger and different size curling brushes.

I decided to use two of the brushes similar to the style of brushes I was currently using to create a smooth straight look. I used the head hugger and paddle brush.

I’m sure men are thinking why do women need so many brushes when they use just one. Well that would be because no brush is created equal. Each brush has it’s own function to help you get the style you are looking for. My hair was about half dry so it didn’t take me too long to get it styled. Especially since I was also using my new Solia Hair Dryer (review coming soon). So after about 10 minutes I was ready for my after photo:

If you want a little extra volume you can tease the roots a little. I have yet to be able to duplicate using the brushes to get the larger volume.

I love having the selection of Denman Brushes in my arsenal of beauty tools. I found all the brushes to be of good quality and work great. My husband has already confiscated the classic brush. I think the one he has is like 5 years old!
