Since the breaking news of detergents found in shampoos, unhealthy silicone trends, debates between the Amodimethicone found in DevaCurl products, and so forth and so on, Devacurl has spread throughout my neighborhood in New York City. I am a Latina of mixed latin roots; my mother has rough "nappy" (for a lack of better words) hair, while my father has silky straight strands. I would say I have "3b curls" and more than often I get these little knots, breakage, and such at my tips quicker than I'd like. Since hearing about Devacurl, I became overly excited, content, and filled with joy at the thought that SOMETHING might work. The whole notion of sulfate-free and "silicone-free" (although its not completely silicone-free) products drew me in and hooked me from the moment that I began viewing clips of devacurl at the yearly nyc beauty show which seemed to elicit great feedback. Though the idea is great, and the product is more or less good, it isn't per se the best product my hair has met. For the investment, I think it's worth a try solely because not all "great" hair products elicit the same results for every individual person. Personally, my experience was an average one, but I have to say, if you're trying to make the transition from chemical products to organic/silicone & sulfate-free products, I would say, it doesn't hurt to try. By the way, I've been using the product for over a week, my hair was damaged at the ends, and at the very commencement of my transition, I hadn't realized that the "no-poo" hair product was a shampoo replacement, so THAT too might have contributed to my first poor experience, but since using the line itself, I wonder whether I can afford this ENTIRE line for a lifetime and whether I should find resembling products which resulted from devacurl's successes.
Overall, the product is good, but it isn't absolutely great and over the top as it has been advertised and raved about. My scalp does feel clean, and it is my belief that over time, with the use of this product it will yield healthier results. I have used sulfate shampoos, silicone conditioners, rock hard gels, and such for nearly the entirety of my life, and for that reason I will continue to use the product as a means of feeding my dry, overly abused, and frizzy curls who more than not cry out for moisture.
After a substantial amound of time, I will return and a follow-up review and whether my hair has flourished or not.
This gel is the best!

I love this gel. It leaves hair soft and frizz free. You dont need much and wont get that gel look...(hard and wet) Instead you get the beach waves look. This really is the perfect product if you have wavy or curly hair! When I dont feel like blowdrying my hair straight I apply this product when my hair is wet. Then I let it dry on its own. Comes out perfect. Thanks Deva Curl!
