AnarKitty In LouLouLand - Part 3 - The Final Installment - Denman AnarKitty Goldie D3 Hairbrush*

I've never made any secret of the fact that the Denman Classic D3 Styling Brush is probably one of the best hairbrushes that I've ever used. I bought my first D3 probably about 8 years ago now and it's still going strong. Thankfully because of the blog I've managed to expand my D3 collection and every single one is still is good as it ever was, despite being used on multiple occasions.

The cushioned, anti static, rubber base and the smooth nylon bristles are perfect for long and straight, knotty or fragile hair. Mine D3's have been put to a huge test over the last few months and by and large I think they've passed with flying colours. Yes, I've still been losing hair every time I brush but by taking it slowly with a good quality brush it probably hasn't been as bad as it could have been. Just imagine dragging a hard or rough brush through your hair, that really would be asking for trouble. The very fact that I've been using my D3 on both wet and dry hair when I've been having so many problems with it, speaks volumes.

The basic D3 design is the same no matter what the style but whilst the original black, white and red brush remains a staple in the line, Denman have moved with the times and have introduced a wide range of D3's in different colours, patterns and even fragrances. I've reviewed quite a few D3 Styling Brushes now and you can now find all my reviews to date in my Beauty Product Directory both here and above, but probably my favourites have to be those from the AnarKitty line x

The AnarKitty range is a collaboration between Denman and British modern artist Emma Geary, aka AnarKitty. First came the AnarKitty Sassy, which was a black brush designed as tribute to the late hairdressing legend Vidal Sassoon, and then earlier this year, Denman introduced AnarKitty Ruby, a Great Gastby 1920's, flapper, inspired red brush. 

Alas all good things must cone to an end, and June saw the launch of the final instalment of the AnarKitty collaboration with the launch of the AnarKitty Goldie D3 Classic Styling Brush.

This muted, gold, black and white brush, features the familiar AnarKitty girl design but with a 1960's inspired twist.

Dressed in the tiniest of mini dresses in a swirl design, our heroine has a high beehive hairdo which comes complete with the Denman crown. She also has super long lashes, and bold golden eye make up. The design also features the AK signature, which is also repeated on the reverse of the brush.

I've really loved the collaboration and I'm sorry to see it come to an end. The quality of the brushes remain the same no matter what the design but the AnarKitty range gives the humble and dare I say it often boring hairbrush a real designer touch, that should not only appeas to beauty junkies, but also to fashionistas and to fans of modern art. The Denman AnarKitty Goldie Classic D3 Styling Brush retails at £7.50 and is available along with the rest of the AnarKitty range from the Denman website. Are you a fan of Denman hairbrushes?

AnarKitty In LouLouLand - Part 2 - Denman AnarKitty Ruby D3 Hairbrush*

If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know I love Denman hair brushes. I bought my first Denman D3 Classic Styling Brush over 6 years ago now, and it's still going strong. I've been lucky over the years to add my collection but I promise you if they all disappeared overnight, I'd be straight out tomorrow to buy a new one.

The Denman D3 Classic Styling Brush is simply perfect for my long straight ish hair.The D3 comes with a easy to hold and manoeuvre teardrop shaped handle, and features 7 rows of high quality nylon pins embedded into their signature anti-static rubber pad, making the brush perfect for detangling, smoothing and blow drying.

Whilst the style and quality of the D3 has remained the same over the years, Denman have always tried to remain innovative and of the moment. The original black, white and red brush is still available but nowadays you can buy the classic D3 covered in lip prints, animal prints, diamantes and even in fruit scented versions.


In 2012 I was sent a special edition D3 Classic Styling Brush the AnarKitty "Sassy" D3, which was a collaboration between Denman and British artists Emma Geary aka AnarKitty- You can read my review here. I loved the almost Art Deco graphics of the original brush so I was thrilled to hear that the two have collaborated once again.

The year has saw the release of the AnarKitty Ruby D3. The ruby red brush again draws in the Art Deco ear, this embracing the roaring twenties and the Great Gastsby era.

The design on the brush features a quirky girl, in an almost flapper style dress, and a string of pearls. Her hair is styled in the traditional 1920's finger wave and on her head she wears the crown featured in the Denman logo.

The reverse of the brush handle like with last brush features the A K signature this time in black.

Away for the designs and prints this is just the typical and fabulous D3 - The colours are the same as the Classic but with a twist.

The handle and base of the brush is a bright ruby red, you definitely wouldn't lose this one in the bottom of your handbag! The anti static rubber pad is white, and the 7 rows of nylon pins are in a contrasting black.

Apart from the obvious the thing I love most about the Denman D3 is that the quality never changes no matter how plain or how funky the brush design is. They are always made to the same quality and they always work and do the business and above all last.

I love the AnarKitty collaboration and I have my fingers tightly crossed that we'll see some more new designs in the future. The Denman AnarKitty "Ruby" D3 is available from the Denman Website, and you can also check out more of AnarKitty's work via her own website here x
