What the D79 Thermoceramic Straightening Brush Is Built For
The Denman D79 Thermoceramic Straightening Brush is designed to straighten and smooth hair while reducing frizz and adding shine. It uses soft natural boar bristles, which are gentle on hair and help distribute natural oils for a healthy-looking finish.
Unlike a flat iron, this brush is meant to be used with a hairdryer. The thermoceramic barrel heats up gradually as you blow-dry, helping to lock in smoothness without extreme direct heat. This makes it a good choice for anyone who wants a sleeker look with less potential for heat damage.

How to Use the D79 for Smooth, Straight Hair
The following steps are based on the brush's intended use with a hairdryer. Always start with clean, towel-dried hair.
- Prepare your hair: Wash and towel-dry your hair until it is damp but not dripping. Apply a heat protectant spray or serum to shield hair from the hairdryer's heat.
- Section your hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Working in small sections helps the brush and hairdryer reach every strand.
- Place the brush at the roots: Take one section and position the D79 brush at the roots, with the bristles facing your hair. The thermoceramic barrel will begin to warm up as you blow-dry.
- Blow-dry while brushing downward: Direct the hairdryer nozzle along the section, following the brush as you slowly pull it downward toward the ends. The combination of heat and tension helps straighten the hair.
- Repeat on all sections: Continue section by section until all hair is dry and smooth. For extra shine, finish with a cool shot from the hairdryer to set the style.
Honest Trade-Offs of the D79
The D79's boar bristles are soft, which means they may not grip very thick or coarse hair as firmly as stiffer synthetic bristles. If you have very curly or dense hair, you might need to work in smaller sections or use a higher heat setting.
Because the brush requires a hairdryer, it is not a quick fix for touch-ups on dry hair. For that purpose, a straightening iron might be more convenient. However, for a full blow-dry routine, the D79 offers a gentler path to straight, shiny results.
The manufacturer does not specify a maximum heat rating or recommended temperature range. Always use a heat protectant and avoid holding the hairdryer too close to the brush to prevent damage.
