Half Round Brush (Denman) & Paddle Brush Styling

A smooth, half-round finished style is a classic that is alwaysin demand in the salon. This technique is achieved by:

• 💫Drying hair smoothly, removing curl or wave.

• 💫Sectioning the hair following the way it was sectioned during the cut.

• 💫Locking in the base of the hair. This straightens and smooths the hair nearest the scalp. For example, relaxed hair with new growth can be straightened in the new growth area with this technique.

• 💫Beveling the rest of the hair shaft and ends. This creates a curve through the strand, beveling the ends under.

Parts of the Half-RoundBrush:

The half-round brush usually comes in two varieties: 7 rowsof pins and 9 rows of pins.

AKA: Denman Brush
