Unpopular opinion: The denman brush technique is not the best for thin-medium 2c/3a curls

okay I know using a denman brush is sacred in the curl community but hear me out. On thick and dense hair it looks amazing. but on thinner 2c/3a waves/curls that defintion just creates thin strands with visible gaps between them. It is also fighting your hair's natural clumping instinct which is where volume comes from.

What I have observed works is squish to condish, curl cream/mousse/gel, scruch, finger coil just the front sections, and diffuse upside down.

That way you are working WITH your natural clump instead of dismantling it. the volume difference is insane. ofcourse this may not work the same for everyone but based on what I have observed for my hair it makes a difference.

My routine:

• Shampoo & conditioner: Umberto Giannini Waves Collection
• Products: Umberto Giannini curl cream + gel, Anthony Marc mousse, argan oil
• Drying: 80% diffused, 20% air dry
• Sleep: satin bonnet
