What is a Denman Brush? It's a detangling tool for curly or kinky hair which is used mainly on natural hair types 3C and type 4(A, B, C) hair when wet, which helps achieve curl definition. Some Denman Brushes come with different rows of bristles. Though it's best to purchase a brush that uses 5 - 7 rows of bristles for your natural hair. You can also modify the hair brush by removing row of bristles, if you feel the rows are too much for your hair.

As a Naturalist, you need to wear a satin bonnet to sleep as this would help you maintain a healthy natural hair. You can now place orders for your satin bonnets, scarves, pillowcase and throw-pillows
