Maya recently unveiled her new blonde tresses. What do you think? Do we love this look?Sorori-Tees

The Denman: Modified
Last week, I did a post about my experience with the Denman brush. I purchased it for my daughter's hair but tested it out on my own and loved the results of my curls. However, like many of you know that if not properly used, it can rip your hair right out of your head.
Well one of our readers, Tia suggested modifying the brush to allow the bristles to work through more easily. It tried this over the weekend and all I can say is Thank you, Tia for the suggestion because it worked perfected on my daughter's hair.
Here's how to modify your Denman:
-Separate the bristles from the base of the brush by gently sliding the bristle casing upwards
-Remove every other row of bristles
-Close the bristle casing and slide back into the brush
Minx for $16 *Update
I've had Minx applied to my feet about 3 different times each at around $60 -$75 (w/tip). I love them and want to get them again, but it's impossible to wear closed toe shoes without them rubbing off. So each time they rubbed off within 2 weeks, such a waste of money.
Well, last night while shopping in ICING, I found a Minx alternative for $16. The picture above is my $75 salon MINX nails. The picture below is my own $16 creation. I did pretty good, so I will be pocketing that difference. What do you think?
Updated with a closer picture using my camera phone. I hope this will do it for you ladies who requested a closer view.
Tip O The Day: Denman
Many of you may know that I am not an advocate for using a brush as a detangling method, that hasn't changed. Finger detangling is still my suggestion and preference. This is why I never owned a denman brush and didn't care too. But out of frustration with unsuccessfully finding brushes that will detangle my 4 year olds hair, I decided to give the Denman a try. During this trial, I found that the Denman is excellent for curl definition especially to create perfect ringlets at the ends of the hair. So while many of you have sworn off this "hair rippin" baby, it does have a convenient and safe use-but not so much as a detangler. I recommend using this brush for styling only and make sure your hair is well saturated with conditioner. It's perfect for creating curls.
