Styling Tips for Natural Curls

Josh says: “Make sure you pack in plenty of moisture to preserve condition and define the natural curl pattern. To avoid frizz, don’t overhandle the curls and work carefully around delicate hairlines.” Josh’s tools of choice for natural curls include:

Denman D4 9 Row Original Styler – the perfect all-rounder, the tool that can do it all. Nine rows of polished pins for snag-free styling and a curved pin pad for extra tension. Ideal for wet curl defining and styling textured hair.

Denman D38 Detangling & Styling Paddle – fantastic for speedy blow-drying and works well on all hair types. The staggered polished pins are great for extra grip and tension when styling and the soft pin pad is easy on the scalp.

Denman D143 5 Row Original Styler – five rows of polished pins and a long handle for extra comfort and control, perfect for adding extra definition and detail in curls.

Denman D91 Backcomber Brush – a sectioning tail for parting hair and durable, firm bristles for taming hair lines. Ideal for creating sleek up-dos.
