I apologize that it took so long to share this video. I noticed after uploading the video on cleansers and conditioners that the quality was low and so I wanted to redo this video but since I have not had time and won't have time soon I am just uploading this one. Sorry if you are watching on a large screen it will not look great. The information is more important than how I look anyhow. Love - Stephanie
This video is perfect in everyway, don't sTrEsS, as there's always enough to do, eh??? Hugs, loves & blowing a kiss you way. 😘💞🎵🌷🌺🌸😆👏👍💫🌟💛 ~"Love, Hope, Peace, Dream, Inspire, Laughter, Joy, Give, Live & Let Live"~
Thank you so much for this! I have tried many of Deva Curl’s styling products and they have been hit or miss for me but now I understand why. All of their stylers that I’ve tried (I haven’t tried Wave Maker) except for the Frizz Free Volumizing Foam take away the volume in my hair, which has been very frustrating since I do like the way my hair feels with them and the fact that they don’t seem to dry my hair out or compromise it’s health. When I tried the Frizz Free Foam I loved the volume I had, but there wasn’t enough hold, but now I know to try it on slightly damp hair instead of soaking wet hair. Please keep doing what you’re doing because you are the only person who has ever perfectly described the characteristics of my very high porosity curly hair and why it behaves the way that it does. Your information, advice and product recommendations have been the only thing that have helped me understand and start to enjoy my hair out of years of misinformation and untold amounts of money wasted on products that never worked. You are amazing and thank you for all that you do!
Can we talk about that shirt, though?!! I LOVE the curl ninja icon/logo! That is soooo perfect. Whoever designed that did an amazing job, I simply adore it! I don't use Instagram or most other social media sites so I don't know if this shirt was talked about, if it's for sale, if it's Steph's new logo, if it's solely for her book, work, etc or anything... so forgive me if I'm late to the conversation and don't know what everyone else might know. Major props to whoever designed that, I'm in love!
This channel is actually the onliest channel that actually helped me figure out my porosity. All the little quizzes, groups, forums...nope. I’m glad I found this channel. Now that I know what I should be looking for, I can be a better judge of what works. Other channels suggest oils for NHP. If it works? Ok. But ultimately? Thanks. Now I notice weight...when I don’t need weight. Hold for the definition is what I’m looking for. While being still moisturized.
I tried Wavemaker for the first time recently using it like I would another curl cream - raking it into the hair wet - and found I didn't like the gritty texture it gave my hair. BUT I just discovered it you rub a little between your hands and gently rub it into the roots of your hair after it's dry it gives some great volume! Also a great way to fluff up day two or three hair a little. Definitely going to be using it that way from now on.
I’m glad you talked about glycerin. I believe I have a problem using glycerin when it’s humid. That’s why I gave up on Deva Curl products but didn’t realize the Wave Maker didn’t have glycerin in it. Thanks for pointing that out. What’s your experience with cleansers and conditioners that have glycerin but are fully washed out? Thanks!
Me too, I cannot use glycerin on high humidy weather. I separeted my products and only use the ones with glycerin on dry weather. Personally, the glycerin on shampoos doesn't bother me. (I hope this is helpful)...
Aloe does something quite similar to these others- I’ve been hard-pressed fo find stuff that works through all seasons. I live in middle of the midwest.Glycerin, PG and aloe.In my stylers? Nope. Shampoo and and conditioner? Ok. :)
@Susan Saine It depends on each hair/person . I personally my hair doesn't like glycerin, but loves aloé, for example. Knowing our hair we can avoid ingredients that don't work for us. It's quite personal.
Yes!!!! Thank you for this. I was getting bogged down and felt shamed because I wasn’t “researching” the ingredients. I went with what worked. The only things I look for now are the sulfate free, silicone free and where glycerin falls in the ingredient list. I’m a Spanish teacher.... I don’t do science for a reason. Lol
Thank you this has been super helpful. I use all Devacurl products and I think I’m using to many products at the same time. I have HP. What are your thoughts on the B leave in from Deva?
You’ve inspired me to switch over the the devacurl life! I have been using wave maker and frizz free foam for the past two months and have saved money due to not trying a million styling products! I just bought the delight line to test out.
I use most of these stylers just not super stretch or arc angel (I use Ultra Gel) quite pleased with the stylers I use of DevaCurl line. Thank you, Stephanie for what you do 🙏♥️
Great vid! thanks! I was glad to see you explain the difference between drugstore and salon quality products as I just saw a convo on a FB group discussing the same thing. Personally, I cannot use most drugstore products due to the chemical fragrances.
Love, love, love your videos..... so informative and educational! Thanks for caring enough to take the time to educate us on properly caring for and styling our natural curls and knowing what ingredients to look for on the label and what they do ! I look forward to buying you're book!!! Would you please also give us you opinion on Deva Curl's B'Leavin and the proper way to use it. Thank you again!💕
I like the Deva curl Curl Maker, combined with the styling cream. My hair has wavy curls that kinda look like curly ribbon, and so this combination helps me get more curl. I use them on wet but not soaking wet hair. Love your videos.
Arc angel gel was okay for me. The curls clumped but the definition was weak. I prefer the bb. Curl gel - oil at the moment for great definition and shine.
Hey Stephanie!🤗 I really like using the foam. I do have wave maker but I'm still trying to figure it out on my damp/wet hair, I do love it on my dry hair because it helps tame some of the frizz that I don't want. I totally love volume and not so much clumping so I don't use any of the DC gels or creams. I do like using Beautiful Mess, very versatile product. Thank you for this video, and, your hair looks awesome!😘
Thanks for your post... I need more volume, so maybe I'll try not using the gels & cremes and just the foam like you. What do you like about Beautiful Mess? I've never used it.
@@cdevida I like to melt the Beautiful Mess by rubbing it in my hands, just a small amount, and the shake my roots. Then I lightly scrunch the rest into my hair. When I do this it creates a more "wild" look.
Hi beautiful Stephanie. I am loving your channel & Ig ty so much for all your extremely helpful advice and tutorials. I'm in CA and wished I lived near you. I would love to come to your salon! Since you are in a humid area, I have a question for you. I will be going to Hawaii in 4 weeks. what products do u recommend I take with me? I have highlights, have curly & tends to frizz easily especially after the highlights which I am dying back to dark brown. ty I hope to hear back soon :)
Hi! I know you’re not a fan of store products; however I do want to know your opinion on Kinky Curly Knot Today and Curling Custurd. I don’t think they were always store products. I’m not sure 😬! Another question I have is about Henna and Cassia. How do you feel about using them? Thanks!
I’ve used super stretch for a twist out & it was perfect 👌🏽 definition, softness, & lasted 5 days before “I” was tired of it 😁 Only thing, I find I don’t shine alone with DC products, so I apply a light weight oil before the SS to get shine.
Thank you DEEPLY for taking your tImE to do the DC vids. I believe Glycerin is wonderful, but I believe it helps with moisture & definition, but is not good in hot humid weather "IF" a person does not like fRiZz, but each to their own, of course, wink... I will be watching the DC vids like this 1, to see what I believe would work best for my healthier hair (FiNaLlY & YAY)... But do I still need to do a weekly masque/mask or do this 1 X a month? Actually I should not bother you about this & "try" to stay focused"/in tuned with my own hair needs, wink... I think I will do a mask 2 X a month to start off, then go from there, smiles... Stephanie, lovin this video & I think that I need to take some products back & trade for what I hope is correct with these products. I think would be best is the "One Condition Delight" "Styling Cream" as I was blessed with the super cream etc.for my birthday which I'm not caring for this in my hair. Also thinking to trade in my " B'Leave-in" for the "Ultra Defining Gel", in hopes this has strong enough hold & IF it's to strong, then I'll add it with the styling gel & or add warm water in my hands, then i'll warm up in hands then section onto my hair. I will be keeping my DC Low-Poo, as I love, so I hope this covers the shampoo, conditioner, styling product & Gel & I also was blessed with the "Build Up Buster", in hopes to get out the yellow in my silverish hair, but for some reason the yellow wants to stay there & I want my silverish hair, NOT yellow, anyone have any suggestions please? Hmm, what about the "Purple shampoo", has anyone had good luck with getting ALL the yellow out please? Or maybe I should try the "Build Up Buster" a couple more times & see, but I will keep this 1, just in case I get build up... Loves, hugs always & be/become all you can be in positive ways... 😘💞🎵🌷🌺🌸😆👏👍💫🌟💛 ~"Love, Hope, Peace, Dream, Inspire, Laughter, Joy, Give, Live & Let Live"~
This was super helpful and much needed! - Q re glycerin based gels, why does over-moisturized hair, if you go out into a humid environment, lose more moisture to the air ? (9:30)
Thank you so much for this video❤ Stephanie my hair doesn't do too well with protein ..as we all know devacurl is known to have too much protein. Which styler do you recommend that it's protein free?
There's a video about that, and and if I'm not wrong, Stephanie said the quantity of protein in stylers and conditioners is not enough to have a negative or positive impact. It is irrelevant. The exception would be, of course, protein treatments - those have a high concentrations. 💕
I have only begun to use this product, but so far I like it very much. I am hopeful that this will help my problem. Arganlife Shampoo makes my hair very soft.
You are so right! I have high porosity fine shinny wavy hair, and really dislike the wave maker. Do you think there's any DevaCurl gel I could wear, please? (The Arcangel would be too heavy). Thank you. 🌸
Hi! I live in a very humid area and I cannot use glycerin. I end with a huge puff in my hair when I do... no clumps and no definition. I have given up on devacurl products but is there a combination that I can use? I like clump curls and control
I would love to hear your reviews/thoughts on the kinky curly product line if you are interested in doing that. I really appreciate your videos btw. I’m really learning a lot about my hair and how to make it go from a frizzy mess to tame and manageable waves so thank you!
It would be great if you could find some good alternatives to Deva. I had an allergic reaction to Build Up Buster and one of the conditioners so now i'm wary of using anything Deva but still would like to use good products
I need more shine. I have naturally grey/back/white, high porosity hair. I have tried the wave maker and the foam and love the light weight curls but need more shine. My hair looks dry I think because of the grey. Thoughts? Should I try to add a cast with the gel as well?
I apologize that it took so long to share this video.

Curly Hair Myths Exposed with The Curl Ninja looks good to me.
We appreciate the information more than caring about 4K video quality! Thank you for what you do!
The video is very high quality to me ! So i did not notice something wrong :-)
No issues on video I cannot get over how beautiful your hair looks

Have you ever tried the jessi curl line ?
This channel is actually the onliest channel that actually helped me figure out my porosity. All the little quizzes, groups, forums...nope.

athriftygoddess Thanks for that suggestion. I am going to try it.
your hair color looks amazing!
Thank you Zelly! We had a photoshoot for the website and book cover today and I am so glad I changed my color first! IT feels more me.
Do you only use deva products. What’s your opinion on ouidad products.?
I’m glad you talked about glycerin. I believe I have a problem using glycerin when it’s humid. That’s why I gave up on Deva Curl products but didn’t realize the Wave Maker didn’t have glycerin in it. Thanks for pointing that out.

You look A M A Z I N G! Love that hair color on you! ❤️

peaceluvsoccer32 can you please list the order you use Wave Maker and Frizz Free Foam? Which do you apply first and how do you apply them? Thanks
Jodimak I rake in wavemaker first then scrunch in the foam!
I use most of these stylers just not super stretch or arc angel (I use Ultra Gel) quite pleased with the stylers I use of DevaCurl line. Thank you, Stephanie for what you do 🙏♥️

Can you do a bit with these products you mentioned so we see what hair looks like after.since you explained what it does .
Thanks! I may now know why the foam wasn’t working for me - trying on mostly dry hair now!!

Ever try Briogeo or nyc curls? You should check them out!
I have only begun to use this product, but so far I like it very much. I am hopeful that this will help my problem. Arganlife Shampoo makes my hair very soft.
Hi Stephanie, what do you think about Rahua? I would love to hear your opinion. Greetings Marina
Can you try Jessicurl and bouncecurl? And Lorraine Massey has a new product line Curlyworld can you try?
You are so right! I have high porosity fine shinny wavy hair, and really dislike the wave maker. Do you think there's any DevaCurl gel I could wear, please? (The Arcangel would be too heavy). Thank you. 🌸

What is your hair type (porosity, weight, etc.) I’m trying to decide if your info is helpful for me
I would love to hear your reviews/thoughts on the kinky curly product line if you are interested in doing that. I really appreciate your videos btw. I’m really learning a lot about my hair and how to make it go from a frizzy mess to tame and manageable waves so thank you!
What would you put under the foam for frizz and definition?
I put Styling Cream under today and my new video on over-moisturized hair shows the results
It would be great if you could find some good alternatives to Deva. I had an allergic reaction to Build Up Buster and one of the conditioners so now i'm wary of using anything Deva but still would like to use good products
Check out her and Dennis's videos on using innersense lines and see if that helps
I need more shine. I have naturally grey/back/white, high porosity hair. I have tried the wave maker and the foam and love the light weight curls but need more shine. My hair looks dry I think because of the grey. Thoughts? Should I try to add a cast with the gel as well?
1cmeknit start with B’Leavin. It makes my hair very shiny
I cannot abide the smells to the products...wish they had unscented options
Thank you!!
Thank you
😂😂😂😂
