If I use it on soaking wet hair, I can kiss my hair goodbye. It's better on my hair after I blow dry (I go over my hair with it to get my roots detangled and straight). I only use my Jilbere on wet hair.

ETA: I have the D3.
 
This is the main reason why I dont use this brush. Its way too rough for my hair.

You have to know how NOT to tear through your hair with it... I use it in sections from the bottom up after detangling with a wide tooth comb.
 
There was a Denman thread up earlier this week, and several people mentioned it not working for them and ripping out their hair. I am one. :(

The tutorials are great, but everything doesn't work for everyone. :)
 
if i keep using it...it definitely will be damaging. Too many strands come out when i use it. But it does make my ends nice and straight after i brush it. But i stopped using it anyway
 
I couldn't use it while transitioning but now that my relaxed ends are gone I can use it without breakage.
 
The Denman killed my hair. I used it wet and in sections and my hair would get caught in the base of the brush. I noticed way more split ends in my hair when I started using this than when I was using my nylon bristle brush. The only time it did anything for my hair was when I blow dried and flat ironed and seeing that, that is a rare thing it was pointless for me to continue using it. If i can find it I'm going to switch over to the Kakakiki (sp?) Komb. I used it a few years back and don't know why I stopped.
 
I like my brush. You should NEVER brush wet hair anyway! I only use it to wrap my hair or to brush the the sides for a ponytail.
 
I think I'm going to hide it deep deep in the closet of
hair tools that I can't use anymore...

I was anti- brush until I found out about the Denman...

but now I think I'm going to return to my anti-brush roots...

I might use it every couple of month but definitely weekly or daily.

I am noticing split ends and I hardly ever use heat...

I went a whole year without trimming and don't have

ends as bad as I have now that I'm using the Denman...

I don't know if it's the Denman for sure, but I'm going to stop

using it for a couple of months and see what happens.
 
Well...

I have splits too and I use the Denman. Since I only see the splits at the ends of my hair and I have about 3-4 inches of heat damaged ends, I figure they've always been there.

Please say it isn't so :sad:

After I trim at some point this month, I'm switching back to my seamless bone comb for a bit to test this out.

I'm going to miss it though...

R.I.P. Denman...

So....what does this Jilbere comb look like?
 
I stopped using it when I saw how much hair was coming out of it... and yes, I used it properly. Didn't use it enough to get any noticeable damage.

Yalls must have much stronger hair than I do. Denman + Neith = :nono:

SOUTHERNTEASE YOUR SIGGY PIC IS AMAZING!!! :shocked:

Somebody jacked both of my combs. Here's what it looks like. They sell without the hook also.

I'm still learning how to post pics. Here's a link to a picture.

You know Neith, I was actually thinking that tonight, as I was watching myself brush my hair with the Denman. I rarely detangle in the mirror, but I was this time, and I noticed that my hair was BENDING the bristles, and bending them pretty far, too, as I was brushing - and I thought - dang, but my hair is STRONG. :lol: And it wasn't even that my hair was 'tangled' so to speak - it was in love with itself, as it always is, but there were no real tangles.

I've never considered my hair strong, but maybe it is. *shrug*
 
When i was more texlaxed before my ends where stick straight. it would rip off my ends or stretch them. I no longer use it on my hair. it's great on my DD's hair she is natural. I think the brush is better for natural heads than relaxed or texlaxed. If i put that thing in my hair now i should just kiss it goodbye.
 
the denman has worked wonders for me, but my 4a hair is super thick, dense, and any other adjective you can think of. i have hardly any hair in the brush...but i only use it on wet hair loaded w/ conditioner, in sections, and starting from the bottom. i'm able to go thru my forrest of hair with no problems. i can see though how it could be too much for fine hair.

Co-sign. I know others who say it's used for detangling, but I'm 4a and it's just not happening. I detangle with a wide tooth comb and now only use it for smoothening the curl (to air dry, or before pony setting to get a silkier result w/ the products I use). And I HARDLY use it for that either because I don't want to mess up my hair!!!!!

I was going to get the denman but I read good things about the Goody brush that's infused with Jojoba oil. I'm not sure if the bristles are really infused with oil, but I heard it causes less snags than the denman and when I saw it at Wal-Mart it looked like it was made differently. It seems like its made in a way that the hair won't get caught. If you're not completely ready to get rid of your brush you may want to try that one.

Now this brush i have thanks to a nice youtube vid by a member here. That brush is a godsend.
 
Me and my denman will never be parted. I own a D4

These days I may see 1-2 hairs in the thing but there's times (usually seasonal changes) that I shed a handful a day. Whatever, I'm not bald so its no biggie to me.

I use it like I would a fine toothed comb. I make 1-2 passes, thats it. More isn't needed. I see more hair in my comb than I do my brush.

I use the denman as the finisher so to speak, even on wet hair (I wet bun nearly every day). even at 12 weeks post I can use it(most of the time:look:)

I only use my denman about once or twice a month, when I'm doing my monster detangling session. I couldn't use it everyday I would freak out at how much hair I was loosing and then I really don't like the shrinkage it gives me.
 
Once I learned how to use it properly, I didn't have any problems. I don't use mine that often though. Sometimes I use on wash day and some times I don't. I don't really get tangles so it's not really necessary.
