Coiled Curls Using a BrushYou can also create defined curls using the handle of a hairbrush! The trick is in the flick of your wrist. |
Start by applying the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel to wet curls. Using your fingertips, gently shake a section of hair to allow curl groupings or families to pop out. |

Take a curl group and your brush. Instead of holding the brush horizontally and brushing downward, which can make curls fall flat and create frizz, hold the brush vertically and collect the end of the curl group in the bristles, spinning it around until the curl coils around the brush all the way up the handle. |

Remove the brush by using a spinning motion to keep the coil shape as you remove. |
