I had the pleasure of going to Devachan in NYC and it was great, but in the end, I am not liking to cutting on dry hair as my hair is way to uneven now with their cut. Also I was never able to replicate anything at home even using their products. I do understand how it is to have curly hair but to go through this experience again it will not happen. I am glad you had a nice time with yours. Hey Bella, your hair is great.

I totally agree with Lorraine, brushing only makes the hair more frizzy and it messes up the natural curl pattern of the hair. My advice, detangle the hair with your fingers while in the shower. You should see improved texture, more curl definition, and less breakage in know time. It has worked wonders for my hair. Good Luck! Your hair looks great.

LOL. first off, that "after" pic looks absolutely AMAZING! it's crazy what a good cut can do for your curls! makes me want to go out and get my hair cut too. secondly, i'm glad i'm not the only one who was not a fan of the denman brush. i think it makes my hair into a big, poufy mess so i can see why Lorraine says it disrupts the curl pattern. i like my curls to be defined waves and ringlets (i have so many textures so i have both wavy curls and tight ringlets throughout my hair). and the brush just makes all the curls into a straight pouf! i don't see how people are getting MORE curl definition with this brush. anyways, i'm glad i stumbled upon this blog. love it!

I have very fine hair that is very curly/wavy in front, bushy and cottony at the crown and very soft and tightly curled on the sides and in back. To make matters worse my hair is very light (strawberry blonde) which makes it look dry all the time. I had relaxed hair to the middle of my back all my life however it seemed to be getting finer and finer the older I got and I couldn't do anything with it because it was just straight. So, I decided to texturize it. That was a horrible mistake because some parts were great and others went bone straight. Now that I am natural and my hair has grown out to the point where I have a nice sized 'fro I wanted to know how to control the frizzy parts. Maybe there is no way to do that but I wanted to check. When I use curl activators or leave in conditioners like Cantu Sheabutter my curls look cute for about half the day then they go right back to being bushy. Even on days when the curls are cute the whole day watch out for the second day because it's a hot mess. I have bought just about any product you can name. I have finally realized that using a nopoo product does really make a difference. I use devacurl nopoo and conditioner. But the angell makes my hair feel dusty afterwards because I have to use so much. So, if there is anyone out there that can tell help me with advise I am all ears. I live in Maryland and I plan to make a trip to DC to Salon Revive to see Yodit as soon as possible. If you live in the MD/DC area and know of a good curly/natural salon please recommend it. I am not one for locks or braids (although I think they look nice) but I need someone who can make my natural hair look pretty and not dry and bushy. If they tell that's it then I will learn to live with it but I am hoping I can look as beautiful as you do in the picture. Sorry to ramble but this is an SOS for some help!

My ultimate goal is to have hair like Korto off of this seasons Project Runway. Her locks are DEVINE. my hair is 4b, from what i could gather off website, and its about...an inch long dry, but when i blow dry and press it to and afro, about 4 inch. HELP PLEASE :) thank you...

I comb out about once a week in the shower with conditioner. It feels like I lose a small child's head in the shower. I was going to get the Denman...now I am not so sure. How do I detangle my hair....whats a good product..... Tired of hair loss :( I am really having a problem detangling my hair in the shower with a wide tooth comb.

They have 2 salons in London but sell their hair care products via shops. I mention them because their site shows that they will be launching in the usa soon. here is a link to the product range http://www.urbantherapylondon.com/products.html. I have recently bought their 30 second curl spray, curl activator and the relaxing cream (its not a chemical). they smell nice. hair is in braids at the mo so not yet tried.

It looks beautiful and the curls are very well defined. I would have been mad over the scissor happy stylist LOL but at least your hair will grow back. I don't think I could just detangle with a comb. I love my Denman brush and will continue to use it. I'm sure if Lorraine had an afro she'd use one too LOL I love your hair!
