Denman Brush vs. KISS Brush | Denman Dupe? + Hask Routine Take 2

Denman vs Kiss brushes compared

Does this $5 Denman dupe from Walmart give the same results for styling curly hair? Today Iโ€™m doing 2 routines using the exact same products, but one with the Denman D4 9-Row brush and one with the KISS Detangling 9-Row Brush.

Is extra effort worth it?! Not needing to refresh is pretty nice. Full video is in my channel! I did a quick & easy routine to compare to my usual routine and this was what I found: ๐ŸŒ€ QUICK ROUTINE ๐ŸŒ€ No sections Raked gel in, tried to apply a thoroughly as I could without sectioning Styled a few problem areas quickly with brush styling, finger coling, and praying hands Microplopped + extra glaze of gel Diffused & scrunched out the crunch โ†’ Results from Quick Routine: More frizz within and on top More elongated or wonky pieces Required more refreshing ๐ŸŒ€ FULL/THOROUGH ROUTINE ๐ŸŒ€ Sectioned Raked gel in sections from root to tip Styled each section briefly with either brush styling, finger coling, or praying hands Microplopped + extra glaze of gel Diffused & scrunched out the crunch โ†’ Results from Full/Thorough Routine: Not much frizz More definition More curl retention Did not require refreshing Only you can decide if putting in more time and effort on wash day is truly worth it. Try both routines and see how they affect your waves or curls. Then come back and tell me - which one worked better for you? ๐Ÿ’ฌ Products linked on the full video where I do a complete quick & easy (beginner friendly) curly routine and share my results, including on day 2. #curlstyling #curlyhair #wavyhair #curlyhairtips #washdayroutine #curlyroutine New videos every Sunday, so please subscribe so you don't miss a new video! https://www.youtube.com/genamarie?sub_confirmation=1 ๐Ÿ’Œ Subscribe to my blog via email and receive a Free Wash Day Calendar & Guide! https://genamarie.ck.page/d45316eaa1 Emails are sent 1x per week and include a copy of my latest blog post. ๐Ÿ“† CURL COACHING MEMBERSHIP: https://genamarie.co/curl-coaching/ ๐Ÿ“ HAIR TYPE QUIZ: https://genamarie.co/hair-type-quiz/ ๐Ÿ“ฅ DIGITAL RESOURCES: https://genamarie.co/digital-resources/ ๐Ÿ—“ CURLY HAIR TRACKER & PLANNER: https://genamarie.co/product/curly-hair-tracker-planner/ โžœFOLLOW โ€ข BLOG: http://www.genamarie.co โ€ข EMAIL (business inquiries): info@genamarie.co โ€ข INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/GenaMarie.co โ€ข THREADS: https://www.threads.net/@genamarie.co โ€ข FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/GenaMarie.co โ€ข PINTEREST: http://www.pinterest.com/GenaMarieCo โžœHAIR TYPE โ€ข 3A-3B curls โ€ข High porosity โ€ข Medium to coarse texture โ€ข Low density โžœSHOP MY PRODUCTS: http://genamarie.co/shop/ https://www.amazon.com/shop/genam โžœMY DISCOUNT CODES โ˜…STRANDPRINT 10% off with code GENA10: https://www.strandprint.com/ โ˜…UMBERTO GIANNINI 20% off with code GENAMARIECO: https://us.umbertogiannini.com/GENAMARIECO โ˜…MOP TOP 20% off with code GENA20: https://moptophair.com/gena20 โ˜…TOOTILAB 15% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.tootilab.com/GENAMARIE โ˜… INNERSENSE 15% off first order with code GENA15: https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1024874&u=3789261&m=72573 โ˜… OUIDAD 25% off with code GENAMARIE: https://bit.ly/GMOuidad โ˜… AG HAIR 20% off with code GENA20: https://agcare.sjv.io/eKgoyZ โ˜… BOUCLรˆME 15% off with code GENA15: https://boucleme.us/GENA15 โ˜… TRร‰LUXE 15% off through link: https://discovertreluxe.com/?ref=36 โ˜… BOUNCE CURL 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://glnk.io/x26q/genamarieco โ˜… JESSICURL 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=680741&m=137946&b=2278196 โ˜… MINHA BEAUTY 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://www.minhabeauty.com/?ref=GENAMARIE โ˜… CURLFRIEND COLLECTIVE 10% off through link: https://bit.ly/CurlfriendCollective โ˜… KITSCH 15% off with code GENA15: https://bit.ly/KitschGena15 โ˜… HOT HEAD THERMAL HAIRCARE 10% off with code GENAMARIE: https://bit.ly/ThermalHaircareGM โ˜… CURLS MONTHLY $5 off: https://curlsmonthly.com/?ref=GENAMARIE โ˜… DIME BEAUTY SKINCARE 20% off with code GenaM20: https://bit.ly/DimeBeautyGM FTC DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video.

5 Diffusing Mistakes โŒ & How to Fix Them โœ…
Full video is up on my channel. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ How to get good results with 3-4 products! You donโ€™t need a shelf full of products for great waves and curls. Hereโ€™s how to keep it simple with just 3 or 4 essentials. ๐Ÿงผ Start with a good lathering shampoo (clarifying or regular) and focus on scrubbing the scalp. ๐Ÿ’ง Follow with a conditioner to moisturize and detangle (deep condition if you clarified). ๐Ÿ”ฅ Heat protectant is optional, but a must if you diffuse or face the elements. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ Finish with a single styler that works for YOUR hair type - gel or mousse. Bonus points for choosing one which serves multiple purposes like the one I used - Ouidad Advance Climate Control Stronger Hold Gel which is moisturizing AND strong hold! 4 products. Simple steps. Big results. Your waves and curls donโ€™t need more - they just need what works for THEM.
