Natural beauty is the hottest trend yet, with many girls choosing to embrace their hair type rather than fight it. We bet you’ve heard of the Curly Girl Method – a series of life-changing principles designed specifically for naturally curly hair. These are simple yet effective rules for pre-washing, washing, styling, and maintaining curls. But like any other hair care routine, taming your curls comes down to dedication and consistency.

Using a diffuser is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes time to style curly locks. But what if we told you that it’s possible to achieve fuller, defined curls using only a brush? Sound tempting? Then check out these newbie-friendly curling methods to help you embrace your natural hair texture.

Denman brush is one of the best brushes for curly hair because it offers numerous techniques to achieve definition on natural hair. The secret is to use the brush on damp hair for best results. One way to achieve defined curls is to use the handle of your brush for even curls and smooth barrel curls. Apply your favorite texturizing product first and then gently brush through the hair strand.

Next, hold the brush horizontally at the ends and begin to roll it toward your scalp, as if you were using a roller. But instead of simply wrapping your hair around the brush (don’t do that or it will get caught in your hair), start brushing the ends first, allowing the curl to spiral through the teeth of the brush and around the handle. Once the strand is wrapped around the handle, make sure it’s facing upwards before slowly releasing the hair and moving the brush downwards.
