Denman Gentle Paddle Hairbrush for Comfortable Detangling, Blowdrying and Styling

Excellent brush, highly recommend

Thin, fine hair, here. I bleach/ color it just to give it texture. I knew bristle brushes weren't for me and gave had cheap drugstore brushes or wet brushes for years but my stylist recommended Denman. I was low key shocked at how "peaceful" the experience was. Nothing sounded like it was ripping. It got through my towel dried hair pretty easily. And I decided to blow dry the rest of the way and test it for frizz control. I didn't even have to use any product. It definitely helped.

I watched a YouTube video by CurlMaven and she recommended this brush. Up to that point I was using a special wide tooth comb that had tines that crossed. I will never go back to my comb again. Even more, I won’t ever use another brush again. This brush is awesome! It is soft and doesn’t break my hair. It is also amazing at detangling my daughter’s hair, which is really saying something. I only brush our hair when it’s wet since we have curly hair, so I can say this brush is perfect for wet hair, but it’s also supposed to be good for dry hair too. And it’s supposed to be good for all hair types. It’s truly a great all around brush. To understand what I mean, you have to just try this brush!

I purchased this brush oh, eight or more years ago at a specialty store. I have used it exclusively since then, and stopped by the store a few times looking for the same brush, so that I could have one at home and one for travel. It finally occurred to me that I might look on Amazon, so when I found "my" brush, I immediately ordered two of them. The brushes I received seem to be of the same great quality as my old favorite.This is a large paddle brush, great for thick or curly hair. My hair is very thick and long, and this brush always smooths it out nicely. I love how the brush feels on my hair and scalp. It can be used to give volume to hair when blow-drying, too, although I don't do that.The brush lasts forever -- my original brush is still in use, and has not lost any bristles or had any pieces come apart. It always cleans up nicely, too.What makes the brush great is that the ends of the bristles are nicely rounded, and that rounding seems to be an integral part of the bristles. On other brushes, the little round ends of the bristles seemed to have been stuck on in a separate step. The little end blobs fall off, or separate from the bristle, and either catch my hair and tear it, or leave a sharp bristle end, or both. I've thrown away many brushes because of this failure. So glad I found one that is made right!

It's a good brush. It stands out compared to the options I saw at the store (such as the kitsch and wetbrush.) Most of those had far more rigid cushions, but this brush as an awesome flexible, soft cushion. The softer the cushion, the better it feels on the head in my experience. I also liked that the bristles don't have a huge ball-end, and they're very sturdy, while other brushes have flimsier bristles. The bristle design is less prone to catching on hair, but I wouldn't use this as a wet detangling brush bc they are so firm.The disappointing thing is the quality of the brush body at this price. Feels like very cheap plastic and the shape of the handle isn't pleasant to hold. People say this might be a fake, but I really didn't see anything that might indicate that it's a knock-off. I've read that Denman's quality has been going downhill, at least in the US. I got the brush in matte black, so maybe this particular color plastic feels extra crappy. I wish Denman put more effort into the material & design of the handle/body so that it was ergonomic.

Really nice hair brush. Feels great on my scalp. Good for blow drying hair. I’m pleased

Lightweight and easy to use

My first Denman lasted more than 10 yrs. I highly recommend this product.
