How do you use a curl defining brush?

Using a curl defining brush involves a specific technique to encourage curl clumping and definition. Here's how to do it effectively:

1. Prepare your Hair: Start with wet or damp hair that has been conditioned and has a leave-in conditioner or curl cream applied. This provides slip and moisture, which is crucial for the brush to glide through your hair without causing breakage.

2. Hold the Brush Correctly: The Bounce Curl Define EdgeLift Brush, and similar curl defining brushes, are designed to be held facing upwards. This means the bristles are pointing upwards towards you.

3. Position Your Hair: Place a section of your hair on top of the bristles. The amount of hair you use will determine the size of the curl clump. Smaller sections create smaller, more defined curls.

4. Brush Through Upward and Outward: Gently run the brush through your hair in an upward and outward motion. This movement helps lift the hair from the roots and encourages the natural curl pattern to form. The special ridges or design of the brush will help to form the clumps.

5. Allow Curls to Fall: Let the curls naturally fall down after passing through the brush. This allows the newly formed curl clumps to take shape without being disturbed.

6. Repeat: Continue this process throughout your hair, section by section, until all curls are defined.

7. Optional: Shake and Scrunch: Once you have brushed through all your hair, you can gently shake your hair at the roots and scrunch upwards to enhance curl formation.

8. Dry Your Hair: Air dry or diffuse your hair on a low setting to maintain the curl definition. Avoid touching your hair too much while it's drying to prevent frizz.

By using a curl defining brush in this way, you can enhance your natural curl pattern, create defined clumps, and reduce frizz for bouncy, beautiful curls.
