Brittney Gray this sounds a lot like WEN... idk if anyone remembers this, but they had a huge lawsuit because they were “organic” and chemical free. People all over the world were losing their hair and I believe it was an issue with formaldehyde or excess preservative.

[@myhappylife56]

@@logstonbeauty in the case of WEN people's hair was falling out due the the silicones clogging people's scalps. If anyone uses a Co-wash it should be free of silicones since it gets rubbed into the scalp

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

The unfortunate thing about class action lawsuits is that they will have to pay out MILLIONS, but the consumer will likely get the price of 1 product. Especially since the purchase history has been erased. If u really had a bad reaction that resulted in hair loss-sue them yourself. It's $50 for small claims (under 3k or 5k depending on your county). The company most likely won't send a rep for that small amount and you will automatically win. I have done this myself for a furniture company and i won.

[@shelbyb9965]

Yeah it really sucks that they probably won't get much, some of the payouts for these lawsuits are an absolute joke. However, there being an ongoing class action lawsuit doesn't prevent a person from suing individually instead, so it's still an option to do so if someone wants to go that route. While class action lawsuits aren't without their faults, I think the benefits are twofold: 1) The reality is that everyone who could sue, won't. The company is usually hit much harder through a class action lawsuit than if they only paid out to those that already have the means (time, money, knowledge) to take them to court, because realistically not many will. So yes, payouts for claimants are smaller than what they would get if they all sued individually, but significantly more people are getting payouts. This in turn means that the overall sum owed by the company is much larger, and therefore makes a bigger impact on the business. 2) This one is more applicable in cases where the claim is not a matter of small claims court, not necessarily a factor in this specific case. People who could not otherwise afford to take them to court (and potentially lose) are able to get at least some compensation. It's expensive to take midsize-large businesses to court, they have way more resources to dedicate to a legal team than the average individual. So a class action lawsuit allows more people to be represented who otherwise wouldn't be, and it does so without burdening claimants with the financial liability of losing a case. I agree that it's unfortunate the way they are structured, but I think they are good for hitting a shitty business where it hurts. They're usually your best chance for negatively impacting a business through both larger payouts and bad press, so I don't think they're entirely garbage. I hope everyone who files gets a decent payout, but more importantly, are able to heal physically and mentally and feel beautiful

[@sandycalifornia]

VERY sketchy for a company erasing payment history. Thankfully there’s always a way to show proof on the purchasers’ end. Statements etc. So sad that a product can ruin someone’s hair..

[@Wexory]

It should be automatically illegal to erase or not even have a payment history.

[@MeteoricMarlin]

Seems kinda pointless to erase the order history when people can provide proof off their credit card statements or order conformation emails.

[@vitaluka1854]

For some companies that's not enough for a proof of purchase.

[@MeteoricMarlin]

Whitney/Vita Lukasevych Who cares about the company’s acknowledgement. I’m talking about the lawsuit. That’s more than enough to get a cut of the settlement.

[@sim9151]

Hair is so freakin important especially for people who spend a lot of effort on getting it healthy and bomb looking. And for a brand to manipulate people who were loyal customers and believed in their product just to make some more money is so messed up... Devacurl- Issa NO! Cancel culture is so annoying but in this case, it’s warranted in my book.

would you ever do a video on "Wen?" people filed lawsuits that they were balding. i've use them in the past and i still have all my hair. i even received an email asking if I want to file a lawsuit. it was nothing remarkable, my purology and joiko products are way better and last longer than Wen.

[@shandaj8479]

JaxB.TheRipper i was among those that did lose hair due to Wen use. Its a shame too because I really liked there products. But i ended up with ball spots in the front of my scalp and nape area.

[@JaxBTheRipper]

@@shandaj8479 i've seen reviews about the balding and that it caused split ends as well. i must have only went through 3 bottles i think. i just saw the ingredients and saw tons of alcohol in it so i stopped using it.

[@ClassicPie]

Shanda J i’m sorry that happened :/ when something like that happens to your hair, does your hair end up growing back okay or is there an issue w that after?

[@Cocochantelle]

Shanda J is it because of buildup and irritation? You can’t use conditioning shampoo forever. Your hair and scalp needs regular shampoo at some point

[@IamJontelNicol]

I'm a professional hairstylist of 21 years.... I believe shampoo by Shea Moisture causes extreme dryness on FOUR C curl patterns (4C) and even worst on those who have eczema and causes the hair to become brittle & unruly. Dryness always = breakage. Its sad because ppl who are beginning the naturally curly "hair journey" think their own hair is the problem

[@lototheflo9640]

IamJontelNicol yeah I can’t use shea moisture at all. It doesn’t work for me

[@chioma2477]

I used deva curl for 10 years! that's a lot of coin about the end of 2016 I started to notice my hair falling out with bald spots dry brittle lots of breakage thinning I started to think it was the deva curl but no one else was saying anything fast forward to 20 17, 18, 19,20, I had to chop all my hair off as well stopped using it.

[@spacewinter]

I randomly bought Deva Curl last year just to see what the hype was and after using it a couple times my hair looked worse it's been in years, I didn't understand why my curls looked flat. I thought maybe I I used it wrong. I just went make to my ride or die, ecoslay orange marmalade gel; eco friendly product. I hope those pple severely affected can heal their hair. It seems a lot of pple are saying their scalp itself is damaged.

[@mfuentes4961]

Before the scandal happened I used Deva Curl B leave in regularly. Before I found out about the news,my hairdresser noticed that my hair was very dry and I had a lot of breakage/thinning. After the news came out I stopped using it for over a month but then used it one time to see what would happen. I ended up getting an irritated and itchy scalp and dry hair so I had to stop using Deva Curl all together.

Once I heard about the hair loss from deva curl I stopped using it immediately, I work too hard to make my hair healthy again to have it all go away for some over priced curly hair product I never loved in the first place.

This makes a lot of sense. I died my hair blonde and after a while I attributed some broken pieces in the front soley to bleach. In the past I would use a lot of the deva curl gel in the front when pulling my hair back. I'm definitely going to switch to a different gel, thanks for the good info as usual!

[@MH-yj4qq]

I knew this would happen. I’m a hairstylist. Bought it for my daughter who has super curly hair. I tried it also as I have curly hair. HATED IT. It immediately made my hair feel dry; it didn’t feel thick or moisturizing going on; it was awful.

[@jasuminmidori]

I've heard from a dermatologist on KZbin (Dr. Dray) that a reason this could be happening is because DevaCurl shampoo is sulfate-free, which makes it hard for heavy products to be removed from the hair shaft. So, their hair is basically covered in build-up, isn't getting any moisture, and is getting dry and breaking off as a result.

[@SSNUTHIN]

right you basically have no real cleanser and they suggest you use so many conditioners. i dont think i could do it; it would weigh my hair down too much.

[@XEveryoneLovesEmilyX]

True, howerever i think that for that to cause permanemt severe damage you would have to use the NoPoo for a long time. The girl had damage after 2x using deva. Not cleansing certainly adds to the problem but build up alone does not work that fast imo.

[@jasuminmidori]

@@XEveryoneLovesEmilyX Yeah, I can definitely see that. I was using exclusively sulfate-free shampoo for around 2 years before it started to really affect my hair. But I started to notice my hair was getting suuuuper dry.

[@buggy627]

No I don’t think so. People used devacurl for years and had great hair with it. Right after devacurl got sold all these people were having issues at the same time. And in a short amount of time. They went from great hair to damaged in a few months if not less

In 2010 Deva Curl seemed good. Then something happened within the first year and I noticed it was overly drying my hair and it wasn’t the same. It was expensive, but I threw it out.

It looks easy and then it isn’t.

[@lpgilber]

Do a tutorial on this hair style. Love it! Also another KZbinr was suggesting that Deva Curl does not really wash your scalp and hair; it's basically like using a conditioner without ever using shampoo over a long period of time. Don't know if that is true but I thought I would throw this out there.

[@hadrianademadiana6853]

You are right about formula changes when brands are sold to a group. I have never used Devacurl because I couldn’t buy it in France but I used to buy Shea Moisture’s JBCO Line and it made my hair look bomb. I have a flakey scalp and the shampoo was perfect for me : sulfate-free, clarifying and soothing, colour safe. Then Shea Moisture was bought by Unilever and the formulas changed (less moisturising ingredients and vegetable oils) and my hair got super dry. Now I’m using shampoos with sulfates again and I haven’t found the perfect replacement.

[@sweetsnejinka9411]

Oh wow. I had NO idea Unilever bought Shea Moisture. I hate Unilever so much. Everything they touch turns to trash. This explains a lot.

[@mysteetyson9102]

I was waiting for you to make this video

[@slchld.]

As you mentioned a lot of the people that use it are usually die hards following the curly girl method for years. The problem with their shampoo and shampoos like Wen is that it's a conditioning cream cleanser it does not contain sulfates or silicones which fully cleanse your hair so what happens is you get a ton of build up. If that build up isnt removed with clarifying shampoos once a month at least the buildup will not only cause hair to stop growing but also fall out and weigh down curls causing them to appear more loose or frizzy.. I've used it and didn't have issues personally but this is because I was using a clarifying shampoo once a month. Edit: I said purifying but mean clarifying lol I use an Apple cider shampoo once a month. It’s very drying so after I follow up with a shea butter mask no conditioner because we removed the oils so we don’t want them there again. I noticed that doing this has made my curls more bouncy and stronger and I have basically no fall out.

[@blackdahlia4232]

I agree, that is the conclusion I've come to as well. They had to have build up and just ignored it. And now their mad at the brand as if the brand soupposed to teach them how to care for their scalp. It's unfortunate but as a consumer you have to protect your own health too. These compaines do not care. I'm not minimizing deva curl's responsibility in this mess though. They make a lot of claims that are totally insubstantial like natural oils will ruin your hair and you should just big chop. (Their owner said this). Bit yet their products contain natural oils as conditioning agents. SMDH.

[@slchld.]

Black Dahlia definitely and the way they’ve handled the whole situation is unacceptable. Most companies will provide some sort of PR statement but they have yet to take accountability. You’re right it’s up to us to try our best to stay on top sadly. I was rooting for them too at the beginning but the lack of responsibility turns me off. I’m currently using Shea moisture it’s my happy medium. I used Maui moisture too until I noticed that my hands started flaking after use and my scalp got itchy using it which was prob due to the fragrance.

[@sabinajoh]

Silicones does not cleanse hair or scalp, rather it can be one of the ingredients that create buildup, however cleansing the hair with a sulfate free schampoo (with ex. Betaines) would help with buildup and they wouldn’t need to use sulfates

[@BadgerDuh]

I bought a bottle of the 'One Condition Decadence' conditioner right before learning of the lawsuit lol. I'm still (tentatively) working my way through it for about two months now. My hair is color-treated but I haven't had any irritation or noticed an increase in breakage. From my own research the lawsuits seem to focus on the 'No Poo' line so I don't feel awful using it. Definitely won't repurchase for the risk, and also it's just not great.

[@VictoriaFCaver]

I used to use the one conditioner as a leave in before I read about Deva Curl causing issues back in January. I didn’t have any extreme side effects, but after switching back to more natural products I have noticed much less shedding, my new growth seems to be growing in curlier, and my wash an go’s last longer (hair is not dry/ frizzy in a day). Not sure if it was the Deva Curl, but would not be surprised. Like you said it’s not an amazing enough product to risk your hair.

I don’t have coloured/dyed/bleached hair and I used DevaCurl in September-November 2019 because of hype. In that time my hair got destroyed. My hair (like in my picture) was silky smooth and now it’s breaking and incredibly damaged. I’ve tried a couple of hair masks and treatments but the only option I see is chopping it off because of how damaged it is. And that really sucks because you don’t really realize how attached you get to your hair 🥺

Some people have had good luck with crecepelo treatment. Its a leave conditioner. Best of luck to you!

My curl pattern did get a lot looser since using Deva Curl. I used it for about a year.

[@marabrewster5094]

Your look is so on fleek the entire video

[@h0neymourn207]

I’m patiently waiting for the day you go natural🥺✨

[@sewsic]

I used deva curl and I started getting sensitive scalp. Like a rug burn on my head. I stopped and now use natural products. Oh and my hair grew back!

[@SaxandRelax]

that top is so cute omg

[@SailorSabol]

Omg YOUR TOP IS SO CUTE

[@biancapearson9758]

You’ve got to do a video on explaining no ammonia color and the levels/cons to MME that’s used in those colors!!!!! So many people are becoming anti ammonia and I wish there was someone to explain why ammonia is the best to use on the hair since our hair can break it down easier than an alternative

So crazy! What do you think of Shea Moisture products for very coily, 4c hair? Also, that clip you have on looks so cute

[@notsosure5924]

Jessica Kamengele I do not like shea moisture products! I don't exactly have 4c hair but my hair was verry dry after. It was very heavy on my hair. I find hair products that cater to women of color aren't very good at all...over priced and very heavy. I personally stick with suave cheap as it may be it works for me and I condition with a little coconut oil and jojoba on my scalp and my hair stays soft

[@CatherineDelves]

Obsessed with this top!!

[@ccalexander1924]

I have curly hair and I use The Good Stuff leave in conditioner sold at Target. It has been a saving grace for my curly hair ! What a difference my curls are when I don’t use it so I akways use The Good Stuff stay in conditioner then I put some curl cream in and I have beautiful curls !

It's so cute!

[@Elspm]

I used to use it, but they definitely changed something. When I first used it (2011 maybe) my hair felt nicely, lightly cleansed after using their no poo. Then they updated the line, and I started to get sticky tangles, so I just stopped, and asked my hairdresser for a recommendation. It was good for me to let my curls be natural for the first time, but I wouldn't recommend it now. Also, super pricey!

Brittney been uploading more lately? Love to see it 💖

[@ashleyh8898]

Wow I definitely have experienced hair loss so much so that I had to cut my hair and do a big chop, I was using deva curl so I honestly now believe that it was their fault because I don’t know what else it could’ve been

[@skreemqueen756]

I too have naturally curly hair. A few years ago , my stylist fixed my hair using Diva Curl. I was like you , I was just meh , I didn’t love nor hate it. I’ve never purchased it but didn’t have any major issues either. I will also say, I use WEN shampoo. I have for years and love it. It keeps my colored red hair last so much longer. There are many people who had an allergy to it and sued them also. I’ve never stopped buying it because it works for me.

[@Hebell13]

I stopped using a while back when I went blonde. I was on a reddit curly hair group that recommended something else for bleached curly hair, and it worked better. I never had any problems, but last time I used was probably 2017.

[@Babyluv_]

You look so cute! 😍 LOVE the top and hair...the whole look.

[@ButNeverRegrets]

Something I’ve noticed is most of the people having issues with devacurl have been using it for YEARS and rarely use another brand. I’ve always believed you should keep switching your hair routine up and using the same thing for too long will either be ineffective or have reverse effects

[@alexabradley5915]

I love your look today!

[@bmw8913]

I'm currently losing 2-3 times the amount of hair I'm normally used to. I was using DevaCurl No Poo and Low Poo shampoo & conditioner, but there's so many variables currently going on, I don't know where it's coming from. I tend to lose A LOT of hair when I'm stressed, and I'm VERY stressed with the country's current situation, and being forced to stay home everyday. I'm stressed about work right now because my work feels since we're all working from home, there's no excuse or wiggle room for unsatisfactory work. I'm also thinking I could have some kind of PH imbalance or fungal infection on my scalp causing my hair loss, so I'm washing with coconut shampoo and rinsing with apple cider vinegar because they have anti-fungal properties. My general practitioner also said a lack of Vitamin D can cause hair loss so I upped my Vitamin D and Calcium. For me, I can't blame the shampoo when I was using the exact same bottles pre-quarantine and I was fine. I started losing my hair two weeks into quarantine and I've now been in quarantine for 2 months.

[@abriyahyasha-rahla2656]

bmw8913 maybe if you haven’t already, try a quality multivitamin, also liquid oral biotin supplement, & some organic MSM supplement. Check with your Dr first of course.

[@raygin6581]

I wouldnt recommend no poo to anyone. It causes buildup on the scalp. Might be a factor for the hair loss.
