As a long-time fan of Denman brushes, I am always elated when I try a new brush from this outstanding British brand. Made in the U.K., these brushes are built to last, and they are a treat to use. The Denman Brush D90L The Deluxe Ultra Detangler in Kyoto Cherry Blossom is probably the most charming brush that I have ever had, and the Kyoko Cherry Blossoms put a smile on my face each time that I use this brush.
This brush really is a great detangler! As someone with naturally curly hair, that tends to knot, this brush does a great job gently detangling my hair. Denman suggests brushing from the bottom up to avoid damaging the hair, and that is the method that I always use. The paddle has a nice big surface area, and therefore you can brush large amounts of hair at once. The bristles boast a nice firmness, without being hard and uncomfortable, and they feel so good on the scalp. This brush can be used on wet or dry hair, and it is what I reach for every time that I wash my hair.
According to Denman,
Great for removing tangles due to the specifically designed short and long nylon bristle duo combo. The larger sized pad makes it the perfect detangling brush for those with long and thick hair. This wet and dry detangling paddle hairbrush glides through knots and tangles on long or thick hair, wigs and extensions for tug free detangling.
Features:
Scratch proof, durable, full wrap print.
Ideal for wet and dry detangling.
Perfect size for longer hair lengths.
Great for use on wigs and hair extensions.
Powerful detangler for tackling tough knots.
Top Tip: For effective detangling, start brushing hair from the bottom up.
Denman brushes are made in the UK.

I have loved Denman brushes since I was a teenager, and I have the same love for my most recent brush from this iconic UK brand.

I am not at all sure how this is possible, but somehow it is– even on my naturally curly hair.

In the event that you have neither heard of, nor tried Denman hair brushes, here is a bit of history about this UK brush brand:
Started by an innovator more than 80 years ago, the iconic Denman brand remains a leading light in haircare today. During a trip to New York, a young entrepreneur from Northern Ireland, John Denman Dean, was introduced to a new revolutionary product, Nylon. He returned home with a cabin full of this new material and soon after the war found a use for it in hairbrushes. By the 1950’s the reputation of this innovative new brush began to grow.
It was Vidal Sassoon’s 60’s hairdressing revolution however, that truly established Denman as the must-have hairbrush. The Denman D4 Original Styler was the perfect tool to create the highly technical Sassoon haircuts like the iconic asymmetric Mary Quant bob.
And so, the era of the superstar hairdresser was born. Celebrity hairdressers over the decades may all have had their own unique style, but they also all had a Denman hairbrush. And today this remains true, internationally recognized hair artists still use Denman tools to create their innovative and inspiring collections.
I had my first Denman brush as a teenager, and loved it and used it daily. Therefore, when I learned about the Denman Wet Detangler Brush, I was thrilled to try it.
This brush can be used on wet or dry hair, and can be used in or out of the shower. It is made to be used on straight, wavy, curly, coily, thick, fine, thin and fragile hair, and it also feels excellent against the scalp. The flexible pins are at staggered heights, they are firm and gentle on the scalp, and they do an exemplary job detangling the hair.

AQUIS Lisse Luxe Hair Towel ($35.00 from AQUIS, Ulta, AQUIS Official Amazon Store and Sephora): I have favored using hair towels and turbans, over regular bath towels, for many years, but AQUIS is definitely my very favorite brand for both. Their Lisse Luxe Hair Towel is extra large (19"x50"), ultra-luxurious, very plush, unbelievably soft, and it is very absorbent.

Wraps and tucks easily leaving hands free while hair dries. Dries fast with less friction, to minimize frizz and damage.

Hot Head microwavable deep conditioning heat cap. This lively black and white zebra print contrasts nicely against the solid pink terrycloth to make this perfectly posh pink zebra Hot Head! Wear your favorite side facing out or alternate them depending on your mood.
Hot Head dramatically improves the results of your favorite deep conditioner, hair masque, oil, or other hair treatment. Without heat, your treatment can only do so much to improve the quality of your hair. Typically, the cuticle is closed, so the treatment is only able to work on the surface of the hair shaft. The results are minimal and superficial when compared to heat enhanced deep conditioning treatments. Hot Head enables the hair cuticle to open for an extended period, allowing the treatment to penetrate the hair shaft, nourishing it from the inside out.
Features:
- Eco Friendly – Handmade with all natural materials
- Reversible and Reusable
- Available in multiple colors
- Easy to use - Salon quality treatments in your home
- For all hair types and textures
- Produces enough heat for a 20-45 minute treatment
- No cords, No fuss - Freedom to move about while deep conditioning your hair
N.B.: Shower caps are essential when using Hot Head! Save yourself a trip to the beauty supply store and add on a 10-pack of disposable shower caps.
