The Denman D71 Curling Brush in Black is a narrow-barrel round brush designed for creating curls, waves and root lift on short to medium-length hair. Its slender 15mm core gets right in close to the scalp where the volume happens, while double-row nylon bristles grip the hair firmly enough to shape it under a hairdryer without slipping. The classic matt-finish handle gives a secure, slip-free hold for tighter, more controlled styling moves.
About Denman
Denman has been making professional hair brushes in Northern Ireland since 1938. The D-series — the D3, D4 and the round D-brush family it sits within — is the brand's most iconic line, used by stylists and home users worldwide. The D71 is the smallest-barrel round brush in the curling line-up, sitting alongside the larger D72, D73 and D74 for progressively longer or smoother hair.
Key features
- 15mm barrel — tight enough to create small curls, ringlet ends and pronounced root lift.
- Double-row nylon bristles — provide grip and tension while drying, so the hair takes the shape of the barrel.
- Rounded barrel with flexible pins for smooth section shaping without snagging.
- Ergonomic matt-finish handle — comfortable, non-slip grip for precise styling moves.
- One-piece construction — durable enough for daily salon and home use.
Who it's for
Best suited to anyone with short to medium-length hair who wants to create curls, waves or significant root volume with a hairdryer. Particularly useful for fringe shaping, short layered styles, bobs and lobs that need lift at the crown. Heat-styling-friendly, but pair it with a heat-protectant if you blow-dry frequently.
How to use
- Towel-dry hair to around 70% dry and apply a heat-protectant spray or styling cream.
- Section the hair into manageable sub-sections — small for curls, larger for waves.
- Wrap a section around the barrel, hold tension with the brush, and direct the airflow from a dryer down the length to seal the cuticle.
- Roll the brush up to the root for lift, or down the length for smoothing.
- Allow each curl to cool before releasing the brush, then finish with a light hairspray.
