PLL HAVE intend TO think well
CLAIM @CLAIM@CLAIM@
AND THATS THE UGLY TRUTH
Being a female of color this hits hard. I'm puerto Rican and my hair was damaged and it took me 7-8 years to make it good enough that it could be considered natural. I always wanted devacurl but could never afford it. If my hair had suffered the way you ladies have I would be curled up in a ball crying my life away. Our hair is already a topic of too kinky, too curly, to nappy. We're raised that relaxers are what we need to look pretty. Breaking out of that cycle to finally love your hair and then this crap happens? It's not right. I'm sorry you're going through this. My heart goes out to you.
I could not have worded this better ! Thank you for ur kind words Maria 💕
Maria N ugh I’m glad you didn’t use it! I used it on my daughters hair thinking I was using the best products and for a while I wasn’t sure what was happening to her hair but it thinner out like crazy and is now SUPER uneven everywhere! So I have to cut most of her hair to even it back out. Ugh so disappointing 😔 and all the money spent thinking you’re taking good care of your hair 😢
@@nathalie7312 Bendito , I'm sorry for your daughter I hope her hair grows back thick and full and that she doesn't get any health issues.
Being broke saved my hair 😂
I always thought they were expensive and never bought them. Glad I didn't.
If Devacurl isn't pulling their products then it's up to us. My suggestion is exposing the batch code numbers off our current bottles that might be causing the damages
I’m keeping my bottles so I can send it in when they start testing them
gloww i took a pic before I returned it
Take your bottles to a third party company because diva curl could manipulate the results of the testing
@@KamrinWhite smart. Get them to pay you for this nonsense!!!
You can file a report with the FDA. The only way to get Deva Curl to do a recall is pressure from the FDA
I don’t have curly hair, but my heart breaks for all the women who have been effected by these products. I pray your hair recovers quickly. ❤️❤️
💕💕
Hair is so important to all women, whether it be short or long, straight or curly, it is the centre of our beauty, and a great contributor to our confidence. It’s so sad that this is happening. I’m glad I never used it.
I have very loose wavy curl ish hair. And this melts my heart and I feel so bad for these girls who have suffered bc of this .💞💞
everyone is talking about this, wow
It’s mind blowing !
exactly. All of a sudden everybody comes out... reminds me of other situations going on in the world.
Tony C right
It only takes a few ambers to start a wildfire...
I think it's a good thing that it's being talked about, because it's a real health issue. If the problem was just that it damaged and dried the hair, that's still sad but it's not too concerning. But here it actually affecting people's skin, causing hair loss, even scabbing on the scalp for people with more sensitive skin, that is SERIOUS.
It also shows major companies the other side of the coin when it comes to social media influence. These big popular brands have made billions of dollars by paying people on the internet to say good things about their products. But this movement is demonstrating how those same influencers can destroy those business by simply voicing out loud the concerns of their community, and even reaching out to a larger audience
Illona Vijverberg really well put
This is so crazy i remember the early days of TH-cam when this product was a MUST have! I never used it because i refused to pay that price plus i have 4c hair so i didn't think it would work for me anyways 🤷🏾♀️ i feel so bad for those that this has hurt.
YESS ! It was such an elite product
@@KamrinWhite i hope that you can find something that will revitalize your hair! And hopefully you and the others harmed by this will get the compensation you all deserve! ❤
Thank you sm 💕
The price and not seeing any 4c naturals doing any hair reviews on deva curl made me thinking twice about purchasing Devacurls.
I also refused to pay that price for product
its extremely irresponsible for their company to act this way. no recalls, only blaming the consumers.
Yes !
leah rose that is a reason you need to properly cleanse your scalp!
I'm sorry but what lipstick are you wearing. The color is so pretttyyy 😭
Hi love ! I always wear milani 69 and then top it with Anani beauty subtle pink gloss ! You can find them on Instagram. Best lippie ever
I was thinking the same, thank you for asking 🤣 when your girlfriends being real but you’re also checking out her lipgloss ❤️
I’m really waiting on a black woman who is also a beauty chemist to analyze the ingredients in their products and spill the tea to us
This is exactly what I was thinking and waiting for
She’s not black, but Kenna is a biochemist and did a video on Diva Curl
Island Gyal why would the race matter? What if someone said “I’m waiting on a white woman to do ______” it would be racist huh?
Growth Power how is that the same ??
"Curly Chemistry" is this and has done this. Merry Christmas! lol
I used deva curl for a month and I experienced a whole lot of hair loss. I use drug store products before and never had that much loss!! I never used DC religiously but it almost messed up my hair
Yes I’ve always used drugstore before ! Never steered me wrong
Dont get fooled by these brands cheaper is sometimes better
I started using devacurl about 7 weeks ago (the week of Christmas) and my long waist length hair was FRIED. It was so damaged and matted that I could not even brush it. This past sunday, 2 days ago, I had to go to a hair salon by my house where the stylist could also not brush my hair. She had to cut my hair up to my collar bone. I wished I never bought it! Before that my hair was the healthiest its been in my life and I have been natural for 7 years. My hair is 100% virgin, it never has had heat and never has been dyed. It looks better now that I cut it off but my curl pattern is still really loose and yesterday at work a huge ball of hair just sitting on my sweater!
kitkat that’s so crazy i’m sorry that happened to you! i’ve always wanted to try deva curl but it was always too expensive so i never used it thankfully but my moms friend who had curly/coily hair has been using it for a while and she was showing me her hair and it was literally falling out. she had bald spots, her hair looked dry and it looked like the products permed her hair. her hair used to be coily and now they’re waves, i feel so bad for her cause she was finally getting her hair back to being healthy
@@jaileenvillegas3634 Exactly! My hair looks like a relaxed it. Even now after cutting it off it is still just wavy ☹
OMG THAT IS HORRIBLE ! I’d highly suggest joining the current lawsuit
Oh you poor thing, that is awful!
Hearing stories from people who very recently started using DevaCurl and suddenly began having major hair issues is further strong evidence that the ingredients in these products are trash. I'm so sorry this happened to you! If you haven't tried it already, maybe a really good hair detox will help it to repair and heal.
This is why I only try one new product at a time so the second I notice a change in my skin or hair I know exactly what it is. I'm sorry you were affected by this :( I really ppl would stop making excuses for devacurl this is completely ridiculous the proof is all the pics and videos of ppls hair being absolutely destroyed.
A friend of mine reminded me that Deva Curl was bought out last year, and it’s possible that whoever bought them changed their ingredients
this has been going on for awhile :((( watch ashyea (sorry if i spelt this wrong) it'll explain how long it's been happening 💖💖
Everyone who has experienced something like this should join the petition against the company
I am !
Yeah i had the itching, extremely dry, texture changed,breaking, 1st time usage it did pretty good, but hair was always dryer than i had experienced.
Or a class action lawsuit. There has to be one coming if there isn't one already!
Someone says there is a class action lawsuit i thought ; i thought i losing my mind. Anyone have the cause number to the lawsuit?
gail wilson i have the email of one of the main lawyers involved - gklinger@kozonislaw.com
I hope everyone sees my comment, I believe they put some kind of relaxer in the products but won’t say it. Please everybody don’t throw the products away, keep them they could be used for testing !
I thought maybe a "blowout" type straightener b/c my hair wasnt straight but poofy with only curls at the very ends.
Thats what I thought too though I dont use it because I am so scared to try non organic brands
I heard one of the products had lye in it, an active ingredient in relaxers.
Keisha SevenHandKnits I don’t know if it is that simple... if there is indeed some type of relaxer in it that would totally explain the loose curls, the scalp burning/itching/irritation, the bald spots etc.... I don’t know how one recover from that
Chalsey Wilder and you are absolutely right about that
I believe I am also a victim of this too!! And you hit the nail on the head!! I had NO IDEA that it was DevaCurl that caused my thinness!!😩 I blamed mine on hormones and having children😔
Ugh I’m so sorry to hear that ):
Same! I blamed it on the dry winter, getting older, my straightener being old and pulling my hair... which wouldn't make sense because I was barely ever straightening it. I could sometimes get to 4 days before washing, now 1 or 2. But at the same time I don't want to wash it that much, especially now 😔
Stina Rut Noo I was putting this is my toddlers hair?!!! It’s so thin and weird now
I’m so glad I’m too cheap for this . It took FOREVER to grow out my natural hair . Aprox 7 years . I can’t imagine how devastating it is for those affected . I would be so so sad . It really takes a long time to achieve LONG virgin curls .
Margaret Creates it takes my hair forever to grow too ):
Everyone is talking about this which I’m so happy the message is getting out BUT can we talk about what products y’all are using instead/to repair the damage bc a girl is struggling 😭
Wow, just from a month. It really sounds like there’s chemicals in it similar to relaxers.
Yeah. Sounds like they put reallllllly mild relaxer or the stuff they put in kids texturizer...yeah this is crazy.
Start scrubbing your scalp, oiling your scalp with hemp oil or pure olive oil to get your hair back
Ewelina that must be so devasting to everyone going through this...I hope it gets better
@Ewelina it won't hurt for her to try
been using devacurl on and off for 3 years, my once 3b hair is now 2c. it looks like i took a straightener to my dry hair. i have no more self confidence because of DC.
That is horrible ! I’m so sorry 🥺💛
Someone said above they think it has relaxer type chemicals in it. It does loose the curl pattern...
@Autumm Dethlefs
It's traumatic to have hair damage. Cut if off and start over again. I've only used Creme of Nature products and twist outs. Your hair will flourish again.
@@anonymousgirl799 For some people it effected their scalp and how their hair grows because of the chemical damage. If you have seen Ayesha Malik's videos yet, her scalp was damaged and her hair is growing wirey and grey
@@symphony2598
Wow, I wasnt aware of the extent of damage! Chemicals can definitely do that. She may need to see a dermatologist/hair specialist.
I also read some bad things about Carols Daughter causing similar issues. And remember WEN?? Same.
Tbh Ill stick with older formulas that have been around a long time. Sometimes the trendy stuff ends up having big problems.
Sorry this is off topic , but that necklace is gorgeous!! Where is it from?
Hi it’s from aliexpress! It was just a $1

Olaplex 3 really helped my hair cuticle smooth down, and brought back my tight curls that were looking broken and fried all along the hairline. I've only done one treatment so far on Sunday, but my curls have held up since. This is the longest I've been able to go without losing all definition and having to redo my hair (well, since before I used devacurl).
Diana Becker but I heard this too is causing damage to women’s hair, like the ingredients aren’t healthy for curly hair over long time duration
Jessica Conde: When I had tried using olaplex earlier this year, it made my hair feel hard and brittle, and break a bit...but my hair wasn't damaged at the time, and I had left some in instead of washing it out properly. This time, I followed instructions, and my damaged hair bounced back. Hair that was breaking and had looked like I used a flat iron with no heat protectant, formed a curl pattern again.
Yesss ! My stylist swears by all of olaplex stuff
Yes you HAVE to follow their instructions. It’s a potent formula
Olaplex fried my hair abd it broke off after 1 use at a professional salon. Turns out my hair is protein sensitive
I have been experiencing the same thing. My scalp is been so itchy and flaky to the point where I scratch it all night. I thought It was something I was doing. My curls barely last a day now. I've been using nothing but Deva curl for the last 3-4 years....
Ugh that’s horrible ! The itching was the worst part for me. I’m so sorry to hear that !
I was using Devacurl for 3 years up until this recent august. I feel your pain
You’re so beautiful 🥺💝💕
I just saved enough money to buy full size bottles and a full line - shampoo, conditioner, styler, gel, deep condition. I was literally about to go buy them and then these videos started popping up.
I hope your curls heal and pop back to life.
Thank you lovie ! And save ur coin for urself ! Shea moisture is a great line or if you want a higher end brand I love Redkins curl line
Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit 💯
They have
I need to stop looking at deva curl stories cause I'm bouta cry at this point
(Lucy’s beauty channel 2020)My wife lost so much hair through the whole year and she just found out about this , she started crying . She tried a different cheap shampoo and conditioner same day and the results were chocking . Her hair is her crown !
Know her history Lucy’s beauty channel 2020
So expensive products, we definitely have to do something about all that lost hair
Joselin Cerriteno tHat is horrible ! Wishing her the best 💕
I really hate that this has happened to so many people. My question is, why did it take this big controversy to make so many finally come forward? Was it that no one realized it until everything came out from others? It's so heartbreaking.
Dar Hendricks yes ! I think no one was putting two and two together. It was being attributed to other things bc ur not assuming it’s going to be deva curl. Seems almost impossible
Never used it and glad I didn’t. Not only was that stuff super expensive, it wasn’t for my type of hair.
It is soooo pricey smh !
I have similar hair to yours and Devacurl did me the same. Dry, brittle hair that wouldn't hold moisture. That photo you showed of your wet, tangled, "rat's nest" hair looked exactly like the photo I took of mine while it was soaking wet. That's how I realized something was very wrong. My hair was so big, frizzy and tangled while wet when it had always been so loose and easy to fingercomb when wet. I have been cutting it off over the last year. But have used Devacurl at least a couple times in that year cause I didn't know that was the culprit!! So my hair is still not the way it used to be. Porosity is higher and I have to load it with moisture to avoid dryness. It's so unfair. Devacurl needs to recall their products.
Girl sounds exactly like mine ! My hair is so porous even when I step outside in the tiniest bit of humidity it sucks it all up and shrinks my hair. It’s horrible
This sounds like what happened to me. But I’ve gotten highlights done twice now. I only used it for 3 or so weeks and I could tell something was up. My head was super itchy, my hair got way more knotted, my curls looked different and flatter.
Have u tried Aphogee 2 step protein treatment to stop hair breakage? It literally worked wonders on my hair to stop breakage. Just follow up with a really moisturizing conditioner.
Yes I have ! But I only suggest doing it 4x a year bc it’s soooo high in protein
My natural hair hates protein treatments. My daughter and I suffered extreme breakage after protein. 3.5 years later still growing back.
I just did a big chop and I thought like deva curl was good to use but now watching these videos I threw out all my devacurl products
They’re not ! Use shes moisture
I have used it twice. The first time was the lo poo and conditioner and wave maker and gel. I noticed my hair was dry. I have the wave make and gel in my hair now and it is soft. I think its the shampoo and conditioner
I noticed devacurl caused me hair fall after the 4th use. I literally thought it was because my hair is sensitive to protein. I never thought it was beyond that. I feel so fortunate that I stopped using deva right away.
Ugh so sorry to hear that ! Thank god u caught it in enough time 💕
@@KamrinWhite thank you for responding 💓 yes I feel like I dodged a bullet 😥
What's weird to me is the things that people are saying that Deva is doing to their hair, only BLEACHING the hair can do! Think about it. Hair breakage, thinning, tangling, frizz, losing curl pattern, actual lightening of the hair,and on the scalp: lesions, scabs, inflammation. I have heard about dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis but I've never heard of bleaching causing those issues but who really knows for sure. I just wonder if and this is just a theory, if some chemical reaction caused a form of bleaching to happen when applied? So when some of these women left these products longer than others their symptoms were worse than some. Who knows 🤷🏻♀️.
I think she was bleaching her hair long before use of the Deva Curl experience with no issues so perhaps Deva Curl products not compatible with use on color processed hair?
She isn't the only one though. I doubt it the bleach, some girls whom had issues hair weren't bleached or colored
They put a formaldehyde preservative in it that might be acting as a relaxer
@@tovareardon4541 Do they though? I havent heard that yet? I mean I dont doubt it. Formaldehyde is used in alot of cosmetics. I just havent heard of it being in Deva products.
@@DH-dt2hk Even if that is the case, those products shouldnt interfere with her lightening process. If that were the case they should warn people of that. So many people lighten their hair and on a regular basis. Deva Curl being a hair care company is more than aware of this.
I used the deva curl gel off and on for about 2 years, mainly on the ends and towards the front of my hair (so the pieces i left out of my ponytail would be curly) and i used the One Condition decadence every time i would do my hair myself. My hair is so much drier, much straighter in some places, and so much more frizzy as well as being much thinner and breaking off especially towards the front.
I’m so sorry to hear that ):
Girl I swearrrr by doing olaplex or ANY kind of ph bonding treatments for that matter will be a God send! I had a same experience as you expect mine was color damage. And doing olaplex treatments brought my curls back to life! Also there is a brand called AG that has a curl thrive shampoo and conditioner it has super foods and protein in the formula so it’s amazing on your hair! And smells so good! Good luck gal! 💕
From watching all these videos and looking at the pics, it definitely looks like they have put some type of ingrediant/s in the products to relax the hair. War against curls. I wonder who the new owners of these products are now. All these beautiful women embracing their natural waves and curls and this company has seriously ruined them. It looks like chemical damage, that is not how BUILDUP looks like!
Girl I was losing hella hair around September 2019 when I was using arc angel after every wash! I was losing hair in BALLS!! I returned it to ulta since and my hair still sheds but it’s gotten better now. I strictly use Camille Rose hair products now
Smart choice !!
Exactly I lost like baseball size balls of hair twice a week! I also use Camille rose now and real Aloe vera as leave in.
I’ve been natural for 8 years. When I was 3yrs in, I went to the Devacurl salon in NYC to get some highlights. My hair looked good the day I left the salon after that my hair was super frizzy and dry. I had to keep in protective styles and cut my ends regularly until I was able to get rid of the color. Back then I realized that their product was not good. I feel that I had always been bad, it is just that people are speaking about it now! Thanks for sharing!
Andelkyz Perez it’s crazy how theres so much people with the same story and people still don’t believe it smh
Coconut oil makes my hair feel oily but dry. I stopped using coconut oil about 1yr ago. I forgot to check my products for coconut oil. I haven’t had issues with Devacurl yet but I’m debating if I should keep using it. I’ll check where coconut oil falls in the ingredients list.
Yes coconut oil does the same for me !
Everything she describing happens to me when I use any product that contains coconut oil or derivatives of it. So I avoid all products with coconut...which is so hard because every company putting this product in it. Some of Deva curl product dont have the coconut product in it.
omg i just noticed my hair being weird and not detangling as easy this all started happening after a curly hair salon used devacurl on me and my hair has been mad itchy wtffff i’m thinking about cutting it off :(
Started using DC Oct 2019. Omg....scalp itching was driving me nuts and I blamed it on EVERYTHING accept my DC products. Stopped using them two weeks ago and it’s better but still worse chemical damage than when I straight up bleached and permed my hair in the 80’s😱
Had a bald spot that came and grew since July 2019; my hair refused to coil or hold moisture last year; started using Melt into Moisture Mar 2019; i thought it was stress or deficiency... then when i realize texture change is from the root and not the end and saw the DC videos it all clicked.
Yess you never even think it’s that. It didn’t click for me either till I watched videos
Omg I had this BEAUUUUTIFUL long luxurious curly hair and then all of a sudden it just stopped looking good. It seemed like it was dry. Like it was frizzy. My curls turned in to wave and for some reason I thought maybe my hair was too long so I chopped up 18in!!! Then it still didn’t look good and I thought well maybe I got the wring hair cut. Maybe I can’t style this hair cut. Maybe it’s the weather. Maybe it’s stress. It was not until everyone else spoke up that I realized, DEVA CURL WAS THE PROBLEM! If anything I’m just glad that I’m not crazy. I was taking such good care of my hair and I felt like I must be doing something wrong. I’m glad I can work towards making my hair healthy again and I’m glad that I’m NOT the problem, but Deva Curl IS.
Stephanie Ellingson their is honestly comfort in finally figuring out what the issue was !
I tried it once years ago and hated it. It turned my hair into a Brillo pad.
):
How many years ago did you try it?? I did about 13 to 14 years ago and i loved how easy it was to go back and forth from straight to curly so sad this is where they are now..
Smh
Ivy belle maybe about 2-3 years ago and it was awful! 😫 what made it worse was I was going through all the postpartum stuff after having a baby so my hair was falling at the same time so my head literally looked like hay with bald temples 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My hair stylist told me she noticed an ingredient shared with body hair removal creams. When her students asked about this at their advanced Deva training, they (basically) refused to reply.
Also, to all the "victims" that don't have any chemical dyes or bleach in their hair, natural henna might do wonders. There is even neutral (aka colorless) henna if you don't want copper or Auburn tones in your hair.
It helps re-seal the hair scales and forms a protective layer on every individual stand of hair. It is also very relieving for itchy scalps.
Just make sure you wait at least 8 weeks after a chemical dye, and warn your hair dresser before getting any color, because the hair can turn green or break off when mixed with chemicals.
Illona Vijverberg
You
Yikes...no. henna is terrible for the hair
@@sharonluquis5823 yes...? Me what ?
@@Palmundo91 I've been doing it for 7 years, barely use any product on my hair apart from the occasional hair mask or detangling spray, only have 2 trims a year and below-the-waist-length hair and I have had compliment from multiple hair dressers and stylists that confirmed that it is good for the hair and helps protect it. I can keep an open mind, but you'd have to give me a little more arguments.
And visibly, it can't be worse than Deva curl right now...
Henna is excellent for the hair. It's inexpensive, a natural conditioner, and leaves hair in perfect condition. The only downside is that it's very messy and stains the bathtub.
Try natural treatments
Great talk girl. I always wanted to try their products but they are to high for me. So when I won the new box of devacurl in a giveaway I was so happy. Until I washed my hair once with the cleaner and conditioner and my scalp was itching and burning real bad a couple of days later. So I had to through them out. Smh really didn't want to but had to. Thanks for sharing. 💯
It’s so sad bc they were such a great company before with great product. Idk what happened ):
I could see how dry your hair was during editing. It seriously breaks my heart for you. Your curl type is my absolute favorite, and It’s so upsetting to see a product do that.
It really is. It’s getting better tho thankfully ! Little by little
Kamrin White I’ve seen other people restore their hair and I know you can too! Thanks for sharing your story, I know it will help the case and other individuals as well.
I have naturally curly hair and was thinking about trying this... So glad I didn't. I'm sorry this happened to you ☹️
Ugh you saved urself !!
Wow that’s so terrible this is really happening to you and everyone. I was actually considering saving up to try the conditioner because I heard so many great things about it. I’m so grateful now that I didn’t fall for the hype right away! 🙏🏾
Girl sometimes not having the money be saving you !!!!
Kamrin White Lol for real tho! When being broke save your life 🙏🏾😂😂😭
Thee BratzDoll yeah, I agree with you. I have the beach curl spirals/waves. I’m older and my hair pattern changed to curls about a year and a half ago. So all this was new to me. Watched those deva curl vids but was never really sold on it, especially when I saw their prices. I’m so sorry for everyone effected. Thank heavens I didn’t fall for it. This company should be held accountable.
I used deva curl a year ago once. The B leave in. Next day I had dandruff and i literally tossed the product out in the trash. I feel so bad for all those affected.
Hi, I am so sorry for your crisis. This is the reason that I don't use products with chemicals. Not to say that you can't react to natural products but it far more safer I think. My thoughts on Deva Curl is I didn't buy this product because of the price , the chemicals and the assumption that it would not work for my hair. I'm 4b/4c.
Deva Curl also damaged my hair 😫 I have been using it religiously for 7 yrs. I now have to cut my hair.
DevaCurl is still saying it’s not their products SMH Thank you for making this
They're horrible !
Girl what!!!
Yesss smh
Wow, I recently decided to use some devacurl products rather than my homemade stuff. My hair became dry, frizzy, and tangled. I threw out the products assuming my hair was too sensitive. Turns out it maybe an issue for everyone. I should have stuck to my normal ish.
devacurl visited my school (i go to cosmetology school) in i believe september & they gave me sample products. i used it twice on my hair and hated how my hair felt so i threw them out. i’m so happy i didn’t continue with them
I wish i had listened to my hair better !
I know I’m a month late but how’s cosmetology school
It’s horrible this has happened to you and other DC consumers. I was a regular user of the Arc Angel Conditioner, Firm Gel, B’Leave In, and infrequently used the Supercream. I’ve experienced all the issues other users have complained of but attributed it to natural aging and health. I stopped use about 1-2 months ago and hair loss/thinning reduced, manageability improved, less dandruff/flaking/scabbing and even my color seemed healthier. I’ve never colored, permed, or chemically processed my hair.
Can I absolutely prove DC is the problem? No, but I cannot recommend it and I won’t use it again.
I wish you the best. You and your hair are still very beautiful. Hopefully the damaged hair can grow out and be trimmed away and you’ll get your best hair back. Stay positive and don’t hesitate to pamper your hair with nice SAFE moisturizing products.
Thank you sm ! Same to you. So sorry to hear this 💛
Use aphogee especially because you have bleached hair. I hear camille rose products are good. You need to use products that people with similar hair to you.
Girl I’m with you 100% I made a video on it too
I had been using deva for a year Brit clicked!
You hit the nail on the head with “ your not thinking it could be devacurl “
I didn’t realize it till glambell talked about it and linked stephenie mero
4 weeks off deva seeing some improvements but it’s still so damaged 😭
I got the no poo about two months ago and my scalp started drying out and itching like crazy but I also recently got a haircut so I thought that it was possibly just my head getting used to it 😭 but I stopped using it and my hairs started getting better and curling again
I'm so happy your telling your story this will help a lot of people including my self so thank you.
Same thing happened to me as well. I was using Deva Curl for the 1st 6 mos of wearing my hair curly. I had 27 inch long hair. My hair has always been healthy UNTIL Deva curl! It became matted, dull, ultra, ultra dry and notted!! Even conditioner wouldnt help comb through it. I end up cutting half of my hair to my shoulders!! My scalp itched constantly. I am just now getting my hair to grow at its regular pace. I cut am inch each month b/c it grows an inch a month. So now about 10 inches is all new growth and 4 inches left of the deva product hair. My curl pattern changed and no longer curls at the roots but starts to curl half way?? My haie felt and acted like I had a blow out kit when I used Deva curl.
I tried one deva curl product that came in a sample bag. I believe it was their leave in conditioner. It made my hair super tangled and it felt like straw after. Never again. This was in like 2015
I just watched a dermatologist Dr Dre say this is nonsense and we are all making it up to jump on the band wagon. And our ethnic co washing is the culprit. I have kids 9 months apart. My eldest used deva curl the youngest didn’t and used Dads conditioner. Only my eldest has serious scalp issues. Both we cowasing ,we all co wash. And nothing like this ever happened to moms or grandmas or anyone else. Only is dev curl is used!! Thank you for your story!! I am so sorry for what you have been though.😢
Heidi LeeJade i have a few issues with dr dre... this just seals it for me thag i wont listen to anything she says ever..
I absolutely hated her video. It was so gross and victim blame-y I watched another video by a woman named Kenna who is a bio chemist and she explained that even though nothing in the formula seems inherently bad, the ingredients could be adulterated. That makes a lot more sense to me than Dr. Drey’s explanation and victim blaming. I honestly couldn’t even finish Dr. Drey’s whole video because it felt so ignorant and gross.
I don't know why people watch this anorexic entitled witch
vanessa la descarada ......I understand that the things she was saying were fucked up in her video but spreading hate...it won’t do anything I’m sorry😔🥺
@@jungwonscactus9425 you should watch bobby s perspective. I got not mercy whatsoever for someone spreading dangerous practices like anorexia!!enough with the sugarcoating!!
I decided to grow my hair out two years ago and did a ton of research... found deva curl and started using their hair gel to style my hair at first... then slowly got their styling cream, shampoo, and conditioner. Same thing happened to me. I felt like it was my health, diet, genetic roulette (non of my family has thinning hair) it got so bad that I couldn’t part my hair down the middle. The hair just looked soo thin. I also started to lose my curl pattern in the front... every time I washed it a ton of hair fell out. I’ve been off of it for about 3 months now and I don’t have anywhere near as much shedding and the density is SLOWLY starting to come back. I won’t ever use them again.
Completely resonate with your story , having major scalp burning sensation, itching to the point that my scalp hurts. My hair is dry and breaking.
I've seen a few comments about the issues being caused by a lack of proper cleansing, the accumulation of product buildup etc... Especially one that suggested that you NEED to use sulfates to keep your hair and scalp healthy.
I cannot emphasize enough how WRONG this idea is. SLS, the most popular sulfate is used in its pure form to clean car engines...
I've had chronic sebum dermatitis on my scalp for over 12 years now, combined with eczema and sulfate allergy on my entire body. I've been only using sulfate free shampoos and body washes for 5 years, since I got diagnosed with the allergy, and i never had my hair falling out (though my personal experience might be less relevant because I am not a curly girl).
But it would be too big a coincidence for everyone's hair to start acting up around the same time, regardless of having followed the CGM for 7 years or 2 months. If it was caused by buildup, it would have either happened earlier or much later on their journey. Like it would happen after roughly 6 months for everyone, regardless of the products and brands used. Here you see damage happening after only a few weeks of starting to use the brand, the products HAVE to be to blame.
Also, you should watch Kenna's video. She's a biochemist for the beauty industry and she explains that the amount of buildup necessary to cause hard loss is so important that you would see and feel a layer of product before seeing the damage. In her opinion, the problem most likely comes from the ingredient providers, that somehow tamper with the ingredients to increase profit or "stretch" the ingredients in which supply has a hard time following the demand (like some essential oils). Pretty much in the same way as some drugs are mixed with other products (think glass powder in cocaine). The big issue is that the suppliers do not disclose what is actually in the ingredient, and the tempering is made in such a way that it is not detectable with regular testing.
Let's hope the FDA will take the issue seriously and shine the light on those devastating products.
I wish I watched these videos before I dropped the money on these products
I used deva curl for bout a month until the bottle was done and have had this scalp problem ever since. For my hair, I’ve been using olaplex and I got probiotic soap bar for my hair It have been helping lot.
Journey2AhNewMe I’m so sorry to hear that !
I used the Styling Cream and the Ultra Defining Gel, and my hair always felt sooo soft, but not in a good way
Yes it can do that !
I'm not sure if it's just the no poo products. I couldn't afford anything from the line, so I would buy just the styling cream. My hair has thinned out and my scalp gets super itchy. Idk if other people are having the same issue, but this is what has been happening to me.
I keep watching videos where people say it's only the no poo, if anyone has the same issue please let me know and if you've found any solutions.
Wow, glad you’re sharing your experience 😮
I bought deva curl 4 years ago. I bought the shampoo, conditioner and gel. After the first wash I could tell my hair hated it. I washed it one more time and same issue. Dry, matted, and curls were not poppin
You’re gorgeous! I hope that you eventually find a better line and regimen for your curly hair. I think it’s horrible what you have went through. You deserve to have thriving healthy hair too. I tried DevaCurl once and was highly disappointed in the past. I hope DevaCurl takes their products off the shelves. 💙
Me too ! Thank you sm 💕
OMG, I've watched so many videos involving the deva curl scandal and I had yet to see someone with same damage that I had after using. Unfortunately for me, I used the products for about 4-5 months while I was transitioning, so when the damage was happening I couldn't really tell because I was new to curly girl method. But I experienced the same thinning and breakage especially in the back parts of my hair (which sadly for me takes the longest to grow back)... From my personal standpoint, I think there is a chemical that when it reacts with warm water acts like a perm/relaxer which is causing people to loose their patterns, have itchy/dry scalps, lots of fall out/breakage, and difficulties detangling (which are all things I experienced when using Deva Curl)...Great video, thank you for sharing your story!
i only used DC on a wig and it ruined my wig. i’m glad i didn’t put it in my hair.
I used DEVACURL religiously and I was very skeptical about it too!! After washing my hair out it would feel very rough and hard to de tangle. I stopped using it a few months back... it’s crazy how you spend so much on a product that isn’t worth it 😞
Yes ):
I never realized what was going on with my hair till I saw all these videos as well I honestly thought i was doing things wrong in the past before I even used a diffuser I would sleep on a cotton pillows not wear a bonnet and my hair would last for 4 days and look super good still and after I started using devacurl my hair would be so bad after not even 2 days I thought it was my pillow or because I wasn’t wearing a protection over my curls everytime I would take a shower like handful of hair would be coming out my head my mom would even say wow you loose so much hair and I thought it was because my hair was so much longer and thicker than it ever has been it’s honestly so upsetting because I finally learned to love my curly hair when I’ve been flat ironing it everytime since I was 8 to around 15 years old even after coming home from the beach I would flat iron it I never let it be curly in front of anyone and now that I finally love it it’s like it’s getting stripped away from me all the back pieces of my hair (probs because I put the most product there) is all like wavyish not even 2 hours after diffusing my hair there’s absolutely no volume and frizz all over it looks like I’ve been electrocuted and I switched back to shea moisture and it’s helping a tiny bit but my hair just looked fried... do you guys have any tips on how to fix it ? No matter what anyone says I just can’t chop my hair id rather it be like this than chop it
I was the same exact way ! I really didn’t do the extreme curly girl precautions everyone was doing and my hair was perfect !! I’m so sorry this has happened to you. I just uploaded a video trying out some new products that worked great for me so maybe you can give those a try !
I’ve been following the devacurl controversy videos and personally I used the product for two and a half months summer of 2019 (July thru September). During that time I also noticed loss of curl pattern, itchy scalp, that fried dry feeling, and breakage. By November my hair was short, thin, uneven, and just bad. So I decided to use ACV to cleanse my hair (because I was still on the no-poo bandwagon) and did that weekly from December to January. I bought a ez detangler brush and different conditioners, leave ins, moisturizers, and styling gels. And during those months my hair slowly bounced back in length and density. This month (feb) I went back to using sulfate free shampoo and well as using the conditioner and my hair is softer and feels healthier.
I’m just sharing my experience recovering from devacurl hair damage. I know it’s different for everyone and difficult if there was long term use and irreversible side effects. But for short term users like me, maybe there’s hope to bounce back. It took me three months to regrow what was lost in summer and fall of last year.
Good luck, love and light!
I purchased the sample pack from DC, while using the conditioner my hair felt like it had been fried, a severely tangled mess. I added lots of conditioner (a different brand) I got it straightened out with a lot of hair loss, I called Diva Curl to ask for advice, I was told I probably had a protein sensitivity and could not use that brand because of the amount of protein in it. They sent me a web site to look up the symptoms of protein overload and told me to use the original brand of shampoo and conditioner because of the lower amount of protein. I ordered more products from them because of the holiday sales, plus I purchased more from the store. My hair kept coming out, very dry, and the part in my hair was so wide. I quit using the products, gave some to my granddaughters and stored the rest. My hair is still not back to normal, I am just glad I didn't use it for a longer period of time. Your hair is beautiful, I hope it quickly reverts back to your crowning glory.
Ugh so sorry to hear this ! Wishing ur hair a speedy recovery ! And thank you 💕
Wow, I use Devacurl but not completely. I always hated their shampoo and Conditioner. I stop using the no poo and Conditioner after the first use. However I used all the other products. They worked for a while but I have noticed some changes. Not using it anymore.
Something definitely changed !
The thing is I noticed a difference in using it and stop using it about year or two ago. I was very aware of it because I’m a hairstylist and I’m very picky about what I put in my hair. But I used to use diva curl religiously and then I just stopped working. Something happened to the formulation of the product I don’t know what but it changed. Somewhere in the changing of ownership something happened with the product. I am really thankful Because if I would’ve continued using the products and had hair loss or hair damage.... I would’ve wanted to find someway. Especially since I already have genetic alopecia I don’t need anything else happening to thin my hair. And I’ve already cut my hair short twice because of damage I don’t need to do that again.
Yes something definitely changed because I know my hair used to love the products
I’ve got str8 hair.i’m 14.but I watch vids for my niece.she has 2c.and I am so happy(no shade to my sister)she don’t have enough money to buy devacurl
hahaha !
Yeah. I just recently cut my hair which was a mixture of tight and loose curls, after the cut I tried the SuperCream and it has caused my hair to get straighter and just too smooth
That’s horrible !
Yeah i tried it once, travel size and i didnt like it at all so i didnt bother after that, but everyone would talk about how its amazing and so i thought maybe its my hair type🤷🏻♀️ unfortunately clearly not
They used to be so good a few years ago. It’s such a shame
I think people need to start looking at the curly girl method. All these symptoms people are saying they are getting I have had and iv never touched deva curl . My hairdresser made me stop the curly girl method. Applying all them products is suffocating your hair. My hair come out in chunks . I was constantly itchy . My hair was flat lifeless . I went to the hairdresser and she went mad at the amount of product in my hair . And banned me from co washing . When your putting so much product In you need a proper wash to get it out . There is no proof yet and it's unfair if it's not the product. What's the reason for my hair getting the exact same symptoms when iv never touched it .
I haven’t followed the curly girl method for a while. I make sure to cleanse my hair properly and since I terminated the use of deva curl my hair has started bouncing back. Like I’ve stated before, not everyone who smokes gets cancer. Everyone reacts to things differently but this was most definitely their products affecting my hair
OLAPLEX 3 MOMMY !!!! IT WILL HELP ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Yeah I’m finding out about this today. I use the entire line. I do switch products every few months but I always come back to this FOR YEARS 😫 I thought it was stress and hormones. So crazy I’m telling everyone I know that uses this
No girl, its deva curl smh. I thought it was everything but it too before this
I’m starting to believe it’s something with the packaging. Whatever plastic they are using might be releasing harsh chemicals into the product
That’s what I believe. I feel it’s an issue with storage and/or packaging
It looks like heat damage though
Well I showed u exactly what my hair looked like after I straightened it and there was no damage and since I stopped the use of deva curl my hair was drastically improved
@@KamrinWhite the hair looked heat damaged to me in it's straightened state. Especially with that color. 🤷🏾♀️
Deva curl ruined my hair says the girl with bleach blonde hair. Mmmm ok.
Ok
Thank you for your advice. I hope you keep your dog on a monthly flea treatment so he or she will be comfortable.
Yes ! He’s on the proper medication now 😊
What are the ingredients on the packaging if you don't mind answering.... I treat haircare products like I treat my food... I eat nothing with stabilizers or preservatives... Raw form is the best... So I make my own gels using aloe leaf, flaxseeds, even black tea rinses, coconut oil, olive oil... I'm gonna look up the ingredients in devacurl, and check them against my cosmetic ingredient book.
I personally don’t have a bottle with me at the moment but you should be able to look it up 😊
I’m so glad devacurl was way too heavy for my 2b/c waves / curls . My heart breaks for the girls who are suffering . Hair is so important to us girls especially the ones who go through the curly journey . :(
Yess so true !
