What the D70's Thermoceramic Hot Curl Brush Is Built For
The Denman D70's Thermoceramic Hot Curl Brush is designed for creating curls and waves while also adding volume and root lift. Its short bristles provide excellent grip to help shape curls, and the Thermoceramic barrel technology is ideal for rapid blow-drying. This brush bridges the gap between a traditional styling brush and a heated tool, letting you build curl as you dry.
Because the D70's comes in four sizes, the brush you choose directly affects the size of your finished curl. Larger barrels produce larger, looser curls; smaller barrels create tighter, more defined ringlets. This is the main decision point before you start styling.

How to Use the D70's for Curls and Volume
Start with damp, towel-dried hair. The D70's works best when hair is not soaking wet but still contains enough moisture for the heat to shape. Apply a heat protectant and a styling product suited to your curl type.
- Choose your barrel size: Select the D70's size that matches the curl you want: Extra Small for tight ringlets, Small for defined spirals, Medium for bouncy waves, Large for loose, voluminous curls. The rule is simple: the larger the barrel, the larger the curl.
- Section your hair: Divide hair into manageable sections. For tighter curls, use smaller sections; for looser waves, larger sections are fine. Clip away the rest to keep focused on one area at a time.
- Wrap and dry: Take a section of hair and wrap it around the barrel from root to tip. The short bristles will grip the hair securely. Direct the blow-dryer's heat onto the wrapped section, using the Thermoceramic barrel to speed up drying. Hold until the hair is dry to the touch, then release the curl gently.
- Add volume at the roots: For root lift, place the brush under a section of hair near the scalp and lift upward while drying. Hold for a few seconds to set the lift before moving to the next section.
- Set and finish: Allow curls to cool completely before touching them. For longer-lasting hold, use a cool shot from your dryer or let hair air-cool while pinned in place. Once cool, gently separate curls with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Honest Trade-Offs of the D70's
The D70's is a heat styling brush, not a passive detangler. If you prefer air-drying or avoid heat styling, this brush may not suit your routine. The short bristles provide excellent curl grip but can be less comfortable for detangling knots compared to a cushion paddle brush. Also, because the brush relies on heat from a blow-dryer, results depend on your dryer's heat settings and your technique. For best results, practice on a few sections before styling your whole head.
