Natural beauty is the hottest trend so far, and many girls choose to embrace their hair type instead of fighting it. We bet you know about the Curly Girl Method – a set of life-changing principles specifically designed for naturally curly hair. Those are simple yet effective rules for pre-washing, washing, styling, and maintaining curls. But, as with any other hair care routine, taming your ringlets is all about commitment and consistency.
Using a diffuser is the first thing that comes to mind when it’s time to style curly locks. But what if we tell you it’s also possible to get fuller-looking and defined curls when you only have a brush? Sounds tempting? Then, check out these newbie-friendly curl methods to help you embrace your natural hair texture.
Denman brush is one of the best brushes for curly hair, as it offers countless techniques for achieving definition on natural hair. The secret is to use the brush on damp hair for the best result. One way to get defined curls is to use the handle of your brush for even ringlets and smooth barrel curls. Apply your favorite texturizing product first and then gently brush through the hair strand.
After that, hold the brush horizontally near the ends and start twisting it toward the scalp, as if you’re using a hair roller. But instead of simply wrapping your hair around the brush (don’t do that or it’ll get stuck 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 pointing upwards before slowly unwrapping the hair and moving the brush downward.
For this curl method, simply brush the wet strand through and scrunch it with your hand. Let the hair air dry naturally or use a diffuser if you’re in a rush. One interesting variation of this method is to apply pressure as you brush through your locks. It will give your ends a slight curl, just like in the video below. Hold at ends and shake that curl, not scrunch it. You’ll see how the curl forms naturally through the length, repeating the original pattern. After styling, apply a curl-enhancing cream or lotion for extra definition.
Want something easier? Say no more! For this curl method, you’ll only need your finger. We still advise you to comb your hair first to avoid tangles. Then, start wrapping a strand around your finger, moving from the roots to the tips. Hold for five seconds and release the ringlet.

Now that you know how to keep your curls popping, your hairdos will get all the volume and bounce. Exactly what a curly queen like you needs!
