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:
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!

Love your hair. My hair is boring.

You are silly if you think your hair looked bad before. It was cute then too! Cute all three ways!

I hate doing anything with my hair! Yours looks great!
shaunie wyatt says
I know all brushes are not the same but didnt know that they varied that much (have always bought the same kind)
Jennifer says
wow, I never knew the right brush would really make a difference. I just thought it was my hairdresser trying to make me spend money, lol
April Decheine says
Your hair looks beautiful, you are beautiful!
Donna says
I’ve used the same old brush for ages. I love the fullness you were able to achieve, so I’m just going to have to get me a new brush. 🙂 I agree with Liz, though… you look great before and after!
april yedinak says
Very informative and you have really lovely hair.
Denise Taylor-Dennis says
I can’t do much with my curly mop but I really have to have a good hair brush. These sound great.
Louise says
Your hair looks so great!
Jenn says
Nice! Loving the volume.
Elena says
I really need a new brush. Thank you for the review!
Ronalee Duncan says
I always wanted to try a round brush like that to add volume. The brush I use is like the paddle brush, actually one I have is almost that size. I always laugh at how big it is, but the price was right. For years I have worked in a place that requires my hair to be up so it is almost always in a pony tail. After reading this post I want to leave my hair down and fix it.
Penelope (NYC Blogger) says
Love the breakdown for each type!
Rachel @ Following In My Shoes says
I just use a paddle brush to get tangles out after a shower … after that, brushes are bad news for curly hair!
Jennifer says
I have an assortment of brushes, too! I’m sure my husband thinks I’m crazy but my hair is, well, tempermental. It’s thin, fine (like baby hair) and is flat as a board. I use two different round brushes so I have a tiny bit of body!
I need to try those brushes!
Notorious Spinks says
I love my Denman brush. It is awesome.
Louise says
I love round brushes
Louise says

Becca @ Mama B says
You have really great hair!
Courtney says
My brush is like the last one. I use that and a wide mouth comb.
Kathleen says
What a difference! I desperately need a new brush, so will have to check these out.
Leilani says
I always use a paddle brush to blow dry my hair straight. It’s just too much work with a round brush, even if it does give me the prettiest results.
Jenn @therebelchick says
Your hair looks fantastic! I have to check out those brushes!
Ty @ Mama of 3 Munchkins says
Your hair looks amazing!
Tricia Nightowlmama says
how easy it is to change your hair style with a simple set of brushes
Billie says
I’ve always used a vent type brush, but I have no idea if that’s the correct one for my hair. You look great!
Kelly @ A Girl Worth Saving says
Lol, I was going to agree with Rachel that my hair would look like I kissed an electric socket if I brushed after it was dried. You hair looks great though!
Elaina- A Time Out for Mommy says
I have one brush I use most of the time and others when I’m styling.. Will look into these!
Stefani says
I want a new brush now.
Marcie W. says
I agree that different brushes have different uses but that comes from being a Cosmetologist before kids. I just love your hair with a little bit of volume!!
Louetta Carpenter says
Those brushes look awesome. It would be nice to be able to use those instead of always having to use a straightener to get rid of the curls and frizz. Thanks for sharing this information about these brushes.
