Over the years, we’ve developed favorites in every category. This month, Beauty and Fashion Director Maggie Mulhern shares her favorite brush. “The Denman D200 is the most perfect and practical brush,” she says. “My hair is thick, long and sports a hidden natural wave. These strands resist many other brushing attempts, but the D200 manages to get to the scalp and glide down the lengths of my hair without too much of a battle. It’s also incredibly durable. I regularly stick it in the dishwasher for cleaning! It has survived both freezing and melting temperatures. Even an accidental ‘drive over’ could not kill it, while everything else in my purse was destroyed. “According to my research, Denman sells thousands of these each year. I should know I own five!” 42 NOVEMBER 2008 www.modernsalon.com http://www.salonwear.com http://www.salonwear.com http://www.salonwear.com http://www.modernsalon.com
