Curly Fries, Let’s Talk Summer Hair with DevaCurl

LexBT — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:17:39 GMT

Ever since I started at Sephora, @KatieBT has been trying to get me to try DevaCurl products. I’d come into the office each day, inevitably complain about something related to my hair, and she’d remind me that I needed to try long-time Community Holy Grail products from @devacurl And now that the sun is finally shining in San Francisco and I’m spending more time outdoors, my curls are just looking a bit …tired. Let me show you what I mean.

Exhibit A:

A photo of me during a normal work day after my hair has fully dried. Some of my curls are intact, others are not. The frizz is real, and especially on the top of my head. I call it my halo. But at least I am smiling, right? 🙂

And yes, my wash days are few and far between. I respect the natural oils! I have to believe that my issue is one part curly girl truth, one part thirsty damaged hair, and one part not using the right products. That is where @devacurl comes in!

They recommended a few products for me (will share in the comments), and they have so graciously offered to do the same for all of you! That’s right, I know all of you are unique unicorn curly wizards, so take this chance to get a personal consultation right here in Community.

**Sound off!: ask your question in the comments or post a photo and ask for recommendations.**

This is exciting @LexBT! I’ve been enjoying the Texture Whip quite a bit, but I’d love to learn about some more of the Devacurl products.

My hair is naturally curly but I’ve spent years straighting it, and I wonder if I’ve damaged the curl by doing so. The ends seems to go straight or wavy when the rest is pretty uniform. I’d love to know what I can do to revamp my hair so that it’s curly all over and less frizzy (more moisture?). Thanks for any tips 😄

Exhibit B

Here's what my hair looks like after 3 weeks of using DevaCurl products:

Here's everything I've been using:

Low-poo - the name set the expectations about the lack of lather, but I am used to this!
One Condition Original - coverage and silkiness that normally comes with a deep conditioner
Styling Cream - LOVE THIS; the smell, how little product you need, and the end results - truly soft, touchable curls
Ultra Defining Gel - normally I have PTSD from years of using men's hair gel for crunchy curls (it was the 90s and I had 3 brothers), but this gel gave me perfectly defined curls. Just make sure you put it on right after you wet it, so you can fight the frizz!
Set it Free shine spray - I know this is for shine, but I think it helped with frizz too! Don't need much of this.

For these photos, I also used the Melt Into Moisture Matcha Butter Conditioning Mask after a day in the sun. I love all things matcha, but I have never incorporated it into my beauty routine! So let me tell you: MATCHA BUTTER IS MAGIC.

Thank you @devacurl for helping with my summer frizz halo!!

@bakeamuffin you are gorgeous! Can't wait to see what @devacurl recommends. Sometimes my hair looks a bit more like yours, especially when it's humid.

I have a pixie again so there's not a lot of hair product in my life anymore, but I used to go to a Devacurl salon when I had hair halfway down my back and it made such a huge difference! I have 3A hair and getting the right cut with the right product on top is a total game changer.

Their styling cream worked best for me, along with learning to "plop" my hair with a t-shirt (and learning to stop touching it during the day!).

@LexBT Your hair looks great and healthy! Love it! ❣️

I can totally see the difference @LexBT! It looks so much glossier, soft, shiny, and the frizz is totally gone! Your curls are gorgeous, I love how Devacurl just helps to enhance and maintain the natural beauty!

I love that their products don’t make hair feel hard and crunchy, I was a gel user too, and then moved on to mouse but found that made my hair a bit crunchy too, and greasy if I got too close to the roots. It’s nice to have alternatives now for styling curls!

I’m all about that sudsy lathering life, was it hard for you to get used to the lack of suds? I think I just associate all the suds with getting clean hair, so maybe I need to drop that conception haha

Thank you @LexBT, your so sweet 😊 I hope I can bring my curls up a couple notches to more closely resemble yours! Your curls are fabulous 😄

@bakeamuffin I've used natural cleansers in the past, so I'm used to low suds. And yes, GLOSSY is the perfect adjective and one that I am not used to hearing in reference to my hair, so thank you ❤️

@fieldsofclover oh, I'd love to hear more about the haircut! I straightened my hair for so many years, that I'm not sure I've ever really had a curly girl cut...

Yaaaaaaaas!!! Your curls look fabulous! 😍

Hi there!

We totally get that some people are about that sudsy life! Our No-Poos are formulated to clean the scalp and don't have a lather, but the good news is that we have Low-Poo Delight and Original☺️

Our Low-Poos do have a mild lather for when you need some suds in your life ❤️

Styling Cream truly is a blessing 🙏

Re: Curly Fries, Let’s Talk Summer Hair with DevaCurl

devacurl — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 19:10:36 GMT

@bakeamuffin Your waves are beautiful!

For you we would recommend Delight Low-Poo and One Condition for weightless moisture. To style, Wave Maker and Ultra Defining Gel for body and hold☺️

Try out some Deep Sea Repair to help bring revamp those waves from straightening it. Challenge yourself to not use hot styling tools for at least 30 days, you'll definitely see a difference❤️

@devacurl I went lighter on my naturally dark brown hair for summer. I love

the color but it gets super dry in the front and ends, especially with pool time. What product do you recommend? My curls are somewhat loose. See pics

Dryyyyyy

Frizzy

Thank you so much @devacurl, I’m adding these to my cart right now so I can try them 😄 I’m up for the challenge, no heat styling for the month of August ✔️

Absolutely love this post and the steps you walked us through with the process of using Deva Curl products that worked for your hair texture! I can definitely see the difference in the before and after photos of using the product over the course of a few weeks:) Your curls look so soft, defined, silky, and there are no signs of frizz! (something I struggle to keep down). My hair is a bit different in the sense that I have two different textures of hair in the front versus the back. I have very curly hair in the front and wave like hair more towards the back. Also, being a Michigander we are known for our cold winters, but we also have hot summers! The humidity is very high and it can be a battle trying to find the right products to keep my frizz low while still keeping my curls intact and lustrous. I've heard great things about Deva Curl from my team, in addition to our lovely community members so I'm hoping Deva Curl can recommend a few of their products for my summer hair challenges!

Any recommendations @devacurl?!

@bakeamuffin Yay!! We can't wait to see your results, tag us on the gram 😉

@TayBT Your curls are so cute! 😍

For you we recommend Decadence No-Poo and One Condition. To style, SuperCream and Ultra Defining Gel!

For those freezing Michigan days use some Melt Into Moisture to help keep your curls hydrated as those thermostats get higher. For those hot summer days make sure you start with a cream styler first, in your case it would be SuperCream! Then layer up with your Ultra Defining Gel to help lock in definition and hydration.

Here's a tip: For frizz-free curls throughout the day, turn to the glazing technique! Place product in your hand, flip your head over and lightly spread the product over the top surface of your hair❤️
