Got Denman Brushes!!

So far with my natural hair I've only been coming while wet in the shower and distributing product /combing/styling with my hands.  I have been reading off and on for a while now about the pros and cons of The Denman, and since my hair is getting a bit longer, I'm looking for alternate ways to distribute product and smooth and detangle. I ended up getting the small (D1431) - 5 rows of bristles and the Large (D41) - 9 rows of bristles.  I tried the large first and definitely is for longer hair, shoulder and beyond use. So I put in the closet for future.  :-).  The smaller brush works well with smoothing and distributing product, but I also noticed it flattened my hair into waves with curl on the bottom.  I had to "refluff and scrunch" to get back a more curly look. I do like it, but I will use occasionally...not every day and only after hair is already detangled when I get out of the shower.
