Thank you so much for this tip! I have very low-density hair and creating thicker clumps has made me painfully aware of how much of my scalp shows through. I tried this comb method this week and I'm overjoyed: lots and lots of curls and much, much less scalp showing through. Hurrah!
I have 2c-3a curl pattern (I think), and I tried to use the deman brush to help my definition and curl clumping and it pulled most of my curl out. Would this comb method be better for me? Or do you have any other ideas for me. Low porosity medium density hair as well.
Try removing every second row from your denman. I think your problem it technique the denman takes awhile to master. Think of how you would make a ribbon curl with a blade. Use the spine of the denman as your metaphorical blade and apply a small amount of pressure and pull away from head and down the hair, shake and scrunch.
Ive had such a crappy week, and just got so glad to see your face pop up on my feed...for real thanks for your good energy jannelle ❤ lovin the content as always
I use the red comb type by Conair and I use AG Recoil styling cream and air dry and don't diffuse. I have much better definition on day one and two. Your sweaters are super cute. What brand are they? Thanks for the video❤
Can I just say...your hair is gorgeous! Just found your channel and I love it. I am way more loose and wavy than you but I'm just starting to go gray also. Nice to see someone else who can relate. 💗
I agree with you on denman brush. I have been wondering why I am not getting the volume when I use it but yes, certainly the definition! I am glad to learn that you had the similar issue and it's just not me. I get good volume with wide tooth comb. I have never used the regular comb. But my curls are bit tighter and I have thick hair as well. Thanks for this video.
My hair loves to clump back up too! I have been doing more vertical sections with the denman around my head. Then the top of my head in horizontal sections. I feel like i end up with a lot less massive curls by day 3 than just horizontal. I will have to try with a comb as well!
I stopped using the denman brush about a month ago. I now only use a wide tooth comb to style my hair, it doesn't give the best definition but it's so quick and convenient I don't think i will ever go back to the denman brush. I also love how it doesn't shrink my curls as much as other styling techniques.
My mom used to define my ringlets with a comb many moons ago...excited to try this next wash day, as the denman leaves my hair without volume too! This tutorial was not only super fun and informative, but I could feel how much love you put into everything you do. Grateful you’re back with more YT content 💕
Can’t find anyone w similar hair. It’s low porosity & I have sooo much hair. Medium thickness.. I don’t have any extra volume when I style upside down. But when I clump hair this way, I flip over. And have a rats nest look where the clumps were together a certain way & the roots just look like wet hair teased into cowlicks. 🤨 Watched 500 videos & everyone else’s hair just slides right into position.. Using denman my hair goes straight & stringy. I don’t understand what is wrong w my hair. I must be the only one 😫
I have been using a wide tooth comb for this. It works great. I have ordered a denman but the comb is perfect. You can turn it and pull exactly the same way.
You are so awesome, I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm really struggling with my hair right now. Can you recommend a good hairdryer that comes with a diffuser. I have a hot tools and I've had it for several years, I don't think it's doing me any favors.
Have you tried a flex brush? I definitely struggle between light hold for volume, hard hold for definition and longevity, and definition vs volume for my very fine and weaker pattern.
I just started following you not that long ago and I love your videos and I love you as a person. I call this a new technique...rake and shake lol. Love your hair btw. I just ruined my curls lately. They are so fried 😥 by the way you look too young to have gray hair LOL
I am finding out my grays are not liking mousse either! You are the first one I have found who has about the same amount of gray as I do, thank you for the tips.
using ur volume tips for the first time ever yesterday my hair (same texture and type as urs) WAS SO VOLUMIZED! IM NOT EVEN JOKING. I ABSOULTELY LOVE U SM UR SO UNDERRATED
I think I'm going to give this a try, with a wide tooth comb. I really not a fan of the big clumps of curl, either. I'm always raking through the clumps.
I have the same looser curls as you except I have a higher density/ thicker hair. I don’t get a lot of root volume which is what I’m trying to work on. I feel like it all depends on the wash day for me sometimes I want the super definition and sometimes the volume I wish I could have both but it never seems to happen that way. 😭 haha. But the comb gave you both!!! I need to try!
Your hair looks so pretty, especially on the second try. Also your makeup is really nice. My hair is so fine and flyaway that my clumps are very skinny and don't look like clumps. I don't like the 'curling brushes' like denmon. They stress me out and they pull my hair too much due to it's fineness. So, I might try the comb method that you are sharing with us. Thanks a lot. Glad you are sharing videos again.
I love this, my hair came out great using the comb. I want volume/wave vs very curly definition. Thank you My question is how do you refresh each morning?
My hair is slightly curlier than yours but it goes in 1 million different curls it does not clump very easily. I’ve been finger coiling my hair in the directions that I want because it goes wherever I want it to but if I let it naturally curl I wonder if the curls would get tighter over time once they found their new curl pattern? Because when I finger curl they seem tighter.I’m down to just four products shampoo and conditioner Aleve in and a gel which is so much better than eight products are used to use. I did however have to get a prescription shampoo to fix what diva curl did to my scalp it was peeling and bloody and would not go back to normal for a year but now I’m flake free and I’m loving my curls I wish you could see the picturee
If you'd like to share pictures youre welcome to send them to me on Instagram!!!! I am really glad to hear your scalp is doing better. I can't imagine how frustrating and painful that must have been. Curls definitely do tend to naturally define more the healthier they get. Also the cut can play a factor into it too. I find that if i have too many layers in my hair for example some areas of my hair tend to straighten out etc. A tip I can also offer is to try the bowl method if you haven't already. that gives me some of the best definition ever. I have a tutorial on my page!
I wish I'd watched this before my wash today! Will have to wait until next week to try this. I've not been loving my hair so much recently. I started learning about my hair texture around Feb and the honeymoon period of wearing it natural is well and truly over
So relate to that! I’m in a weird funk with my own hair which is why I’m trying out so much new stuff 😂 would love to hear how it works for you when you do get a chance to try it!!!
Loved your video, I have fine hair similar to yours. I am excited to try to comb on mine! I get a little confused with all the products you mention because I don’t want to complicate my routine. Can you share a list of products?
All the products I used in this video are listed in the description! But in general I would apply leave in and/or cream before brushing through, then finish up with either a mousse or gel or whatever you use for hold/finish!
@@janinedear-barlow Using the comb did make my curls more uniform and I didn't have those weird clumps in my bottom layer. I really liked my day 1 hair with it, but it didn't last well for me. It's definitely worth trying, though.
WOW that looks amazing! I tried a comb a few weeks ago and had the same volume + definition experience but was worried bc I wasn’t sure if combs can damage. Thanks for the video! Can’t wait to try this again ☺️
I agree with Anna! You can hear and feel it! Also something to try is getting a wooden comb, can find them on amazon and they are superrrrr gentle on hair!
Thank you so much for this tip! I have very low-density hair and creating thicker clumps has made me painfully aware of how much of my scalp shows through. I tried this comb method this week and I'm overjoyed: lots and lots of curls and much, much less scalp showing through. Hurrah!
I appreciate that you also can't have both tons of volume and super defined curls. I am the same. I normally sacrifice some definition for volume too!
I have 2c-3a curl pattern (I think), and I tried to use the deman brush to help my definition and curl clumping and it pulled most of my curl out. Would this comb method be better for me? Or do you have any other ideas for me. Low porosity medium density hair as well.

Cool, I'll have to try the comb! PS: I love your "DARE" t-shirt!
I feel you so much omggg my hair tends to clump all together after a couple of days omggg I am not the only oneee
I've tried to explain this in curly hair groups and no one seemed to understand !! =|
Ive had such a crappy week, and just got so glad to see your face pop up on my feed...for real thanks for your good energy jannelle ❤ lovin the content as always
I'm sorry you've had a rough week. It does make me feel really good that i could brighten it just a bit. Sending you all the good vibes.
@@JannelleOShaughnessy thanks girl!!! That means a lot!! Btw I lived in vegas too, im living in CA now, but funny coincidence lol
@@kaleynicholson8149 Love Vegas!!! Where in Cali? One of my sisters lives near West Hollywood!!
@@JannelleOShaughnessy I sooo miss vegas dude!!! Im up near Sacramento 🙂
I use the red comb type by Conair and I use AG Recoil styling cream and air dry and don't diffuse. I have much better definition on day one and two.
Your sweaters are super cute. What brand are they?
Thanks for the video❤

Great “part of your world” parody at the end! LOVED the little mermaid growing up.
Thank you explaining why I can't keep my gigantic curl clumps from making 3 families on my head! I will definitely be trying this next wash day.
Has something been helping? I literally have three curls on day two or three, just one big one in the back and one on each side lmao
My hair loves to clump back up too! I have been doing more vertical sections with the denman around my head. Then the top of my head in horizontal sections. I feel like i end up with a lot less massive curls by day 3 than just horizontal. I will have to try with a comb as well!

Thats definitely how i feel too!!!!
Can you do a video for MAX definition please!! Thank you 🙂
will work on it!

Fantastic statement shirt. I think I liked the first wash day better. A comb!? I’m surprised. I’ll have to try this. 😎
I’m sooooo glad someone is with my on the first Washday. I haven’t been that happy with my volume in foreverrrrr!
Missed you! Loving my hair thanks to you!
Best compliment ever, so happy to hear!!!! MISSED YOU!!!

How funny...i switched yesterday during my wash, felt the denman brush was ruining my curl pattern
Have you tried a flex brush? I definitely struggle between light hold for volume, hard hold for definition and longevity, and definition vs volume for my very fine and weaker pattern.
I just started following you not that long ago and I love your videos and I love you as a person. I call this a new technique...rake and shake lol. Love your hair btw. I just ruined my curls lately. They are so fried 😥 by the way you look too young to have gray hair LOL
Love your personality! I have very similar hair/challenges to you so am excited to try this!
You always improve my mood! Great video...the power of the FLUFF!!
Wow!! I’ve been trying so many different techniques to get more volume. I’ll be trying this next time I wash my hair! I’ve missed you!!
Do you have a video of you using the Denman on refresh day?
I just a new brush, but I could definitely use the technique you used with the comb to style.
I need to try this omg!
Any advice for how to cope with a fringe that is still quite short please?
I am finding out my grays are not liking mousse either! You are the first one I have found who has about the same amount of gray as I do, thank you for the tips.
I loved this video and learned alot. What exactly is low density hair?
One of the most important statements of our time! ❤️❤️
Love the statement T!
So glad you are filming again ❤️
Me too!!
I much prefer the second wash day 😊
I figured it would be the preferred washday!
I love your videos , I have been watching you for long , learned so much from you 🌹😘
thank you for sticking around, so happy to have you here. 💜
Uber important statement!
What color is that comb

Where are you lady?
I think I'm going to give this a try, with a wide tooth comb. I really not a fan of the big clumps of curl, either. I'm always raking through the clumps.
Ok so because of this video, I finally got through to define my daughter's 3c curls. Thanks!

I'm going to the drugstore today to buy my first curly/wavy hair products and a comb just got in to my list. 🤩
Hi Janelle, how do I find a hair stylist in my area? I need a haircut but They never do it right on my curly hair.
Any tips on curls fluffying? Do i need more protein? Or more gel/product??
What products did you use for day 2 hair, when you used the wide tooth comb? Thanks
So maybe pull all the rows except one in your denman brush.
I liked the wide tooth comb result better 😊looks fantastic!
I just found out you live in Vegas and now your in Philly! 😞
I am also in Philly! It got cold like over night! I would love to chat with you.
I have the same exact comb! And a very similar curl pattern and density. I can't wait to try this next wash day!
Ahaha yes low density hair, where you at🤚🏽 😆
The grays...oy..my entire crown and what an ordeal.
I'm going to have to give that a try on my next wash day. Can't wait.
I love it!!!! Thanks Jannelle! Gonna give this a go!!!!!
Your hair looks so pretty, especially on the second try. Also your makeup is really nice.

Thanks a lot. Glad you are sharing videos again.
I feel similarly re the brush! I would suggest starting with a wider tooth comb and then work your way to more compacted bristles if necessary!
Great vid and you are so funny. :*
I love this, my hair came out great using the comb. I want volume/wave vs very curly definition. Thank you
My question is how do you refresh each morning?
how funny on timing!!! I just uploaded a video with the different ways i refresh!

I've been using a pick to separate the clumps but now I'm going to try a comb. Thanks 🥰
Would love to hear how it works for you!
oh, man. Now I need to try this!
Curly hair channel Athena Padilla has shown this comb technique for a long time.
GREAT MINDS! I'll have to check out their content!
Fab video, thank you. I didn't think of trying a comb, I'm going to give it a go next wash day 😸
Thank you!!! would love to hear how it works for you!
Jannelle, do you have a video of you drying/diffusing your hair? I would love to see it if you do!
I do have an older one! I will be posting an updated one soon. Are there any specific questions you have around diffusing?
It is so good to see you!!
I think I'm going to try a comb on my next wash. My bottom curls are always clumping together into 1 or 2 clumps on each side. Thanks for sharing.
How did it go?

I’m going to try this! I have similar issues with the denman (and my curls clumping “too much”).
Hope you get awesome results!
Literally just tried it and wow! So much volume and I have more than 4 curl clumps on my head 😂 Thank you!
WOW that looks amazing! I tried a comb a few weeks ago and had the same volume + definition experience but was worried bc I wasn’t sure if combs can damage. Thanks for the video! Can’t wait to try this again ☺️
you'll know if the comb is damaging...you will hear snapping of your hair breaking.
