Thanks for talking on this! My main issue since going CG was my scalp, it was so dry and flakey but wasn't traditional dandruff and everything I did to try and help treat dry scalp and product buildup didn't do anything. Recently with all the Devacurl issues that have been coming out I realized the whole issue may be the Devacurl shampoo I was using >.< I was using the loo poo and the buildup buster pretty consistently and my scalp would just get worse. I've cut out all Devacurl now and I am hoping my scalp will start to get better xo
What I love is that some of the brands you recommend do samples so you can spend less on a better product to try them out. Mop top does samples, bounce curl does trial sizes and Jessie curl does a sample pack for free all you pay is 4$ for shipping.
I have fine hair that’s around a 3b curl and I began co-washing and avoiding silicone before I even knew it was a whole big thing (I just discovered what the “curly method” was when this deva curl issue hit my TH-cam feed 😂)... it works really well for my dry, damaged curls, but I do need a regular shampoo once in a while. It appears, from the stories and comments and videos I’ve seen, that most people experiencing issues with deva curl do clarify their hair on a regular basis. A lot has been said about how people just “need to wash their hair”, but I honestly don’t think that’s the problem at all. I used deva curl for years without issues. My hair started severely drying out and shedding maybe about 4-5 months ago. I switched to curlsmith co-wash in December and my hair is about a million times better. I use the same method but with a different product and my hair is nearly back to how it used to be 🤷🏻♀️ I know co-wash isn’t for everyone, but I just don’t think that’s the issue here. Really great and informative video!! Excellent advice about clarifying when you feel everything about your hair has stopped working
That's definitely not the only issue. There is for sure a problem with the product. But I think part of it is that they aren't water soluble so they build up quickly. I'm glad you found a line that works better for you.
Ordered some Evolvh products! I am excited to use them! I have low porosity hair, do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to deal with it?? I know for my type of hair (low porosity, thin, 2b/2c hair) that less is more. But my issue is the part that comes after conditioner. I have to ensure my hair is not sopping wet to put the leave in and gel otherwise product just sits on top of hair. In some reviewes i read that the evolvh products were great for fine and thin hair. What do you think would be the best way to treat hair like yours but just low porosity? I find that if i just shampoo alone (no conditioner at all) my hair is more curly 🤷♀️ but they appear dry.
Be sure to squeeze out water before applying the styling products of you want to avoid sopping wet. But I'd emulsify the styler in wet hands first because it needs water to spread easily.
I don't have a lot of experience with type 4 hair so I can't say. But the methods and ideas are the same. How often you do things like deep condition and cleanse will differ.
deva curl thinned out my hairline because i used one of their products to sleek my hair in a low bun. i’m looking for products to help grow my hair and intense hydration because my hair is so dry :(
Sorry to hear that. There are so many other great curly hair brands out there. I'm sure you will find the right line for you soon. Check out Innersense
@@HolisticEnchilada Ill check it out thanks! I've been using castor oil this other scalp balm and its been working! My hair has been growing back fast :)
I feel like I practically need to stat over because it feels like straw. I use Biotin thickening shampoo w/ Shea Moisture weightless conditioner,& style w/ Shea Moisture leave in. Any tips or suggestions? Would be very appreciated.
I'm using the exact same thing and my hair is still falling out, I even did a scalp cleanse and all that and cut my hair very short and its still so damaged,I use deep conditioner and still feels the same. I hate it. I'm very tempted to go SHORTER
So what ingredients are moisturising and what ingredients have protein? Especially moisturising. I'm just so tired of not knowing and seems my hair just keeps getting worse 🙁
Moisturizing ingredients are oils, butters, and fatty alcohols (cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol and myristyl alcohol). Proteins will say hydrolyzed or protein in the ingredients. Examples include hydrolyzed wheat protein, rice protein, amino acids, collagen, keratin). I have a post about proteins that might help holisticenchilada.com/rice-water-rinse-for-curly-hair-protein-treatment/
I’ve been using curlsmith for a couple months now and I really do love it... I use their co-wash, the intensive hair serum and the density elixir. My hair seems to love it. A great change after deva curl.

I hope that helps your scalp 💕
Great informative video. Exactly what I was looking for as I try to develop a plan to repair my hair.
🙏😊 hope these tips help!

Yes, samples are so great. Since I published this video even more brands have started offering samples.

Holistic Enchilada I hadn’t even thought of water solubility before watching your video, you made some really good points!
@@KG9551 thanks! I hope we find out exactly what caused all these problems

And you could try just using conditioner on your ends and skipping the leave in
I had no idea about the Diva Curl products. I only use the Diva Curl lite gel but is that bad too? If so, is there a drugstore gel that is good?
I have transitioned my hair for two years. I’m doing the big chop this week. What do you recommend for 4 type hair?
I don't have a lot of experience with type 4 hair so I can't say. But the methods and ideas are the same. How often you do things like deep condition and cleanse will differ.
Holistic Enchilada ok thank you so much

I’m so shocked 😨 and upset over the Devacurl scandal! Lucky I didn’t have enough money to buy more of that toxic stuff
Same! And we still don't know wth happened!
Holistic Enchilada yeah it’s such a mystery! And not the good kind of mysteryyy 🤭😰😥😱

Have you trier smith curly products?
I have not but I want to!
what products do u recommend? Devacurl completely damaged my hair
They are all listed in the description of this video 😊
What do you think about Bounce Curl and Curlsmith brands?
I like Bounce Curl it just didn't work for my hair. I haven't treid Curlsmith so I don't have an opinion on that brand yet.
I’ve been using curlsmith for a couple months now and I really do love it... I use their co-wash, the intensive hair serum and the density elixir.
My hair seems to love it. A great change after deva curl.
