Have you guys has issues with devacurl? If so tell me below!

[@taywhite8031]

Just so you know a lot of people were able to get refunds. I'm only 7 mins into the video right now so idk if you mentioned that or not. But just so you know. People were able to email a guy named Michael and then they send you a refund if you send your products back. Or you can keep it and join the action lawsuit maybe.

[@ThePwillows]

yeah, ive had scalp issues, hair thinning and my curl pattern is looser.

[@Jadeikens]

Tay White I have emailed them!

[@Jadeikens]

Adreiaunna D'Auria I’m so sorry that happened to you but at lease now we know we are not alone

[@pksergi]

Thank you for making this video❤️ ive religiously have been using b’leave in for a year and my hair thinned a alot and ive developed eczema on my hairline in my neck area 😣 i hope you get your curls back to optimal health and devacurl gets sued

[@mekaykayyy]

I’ve talked to my husband who works for one of the largest beauty manufacturer company of the world. He thinks that devacurl must’ve changed their formula within the last few years with cheaper ingredients. Some larger companies do this to make even more profit. Devacurl will not come out and talk about this because that will be millions of dollars gone in profit. The ingredients they’re using must be the issue. Obviously the formula was good at one point, but seems like they got greedy and wanted more profit. What will most likely happen is word of mouth will make them go under. The more people talk about it the better, this SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. Beauty product should not be doing this to anyone. Please do not use these products if anyone out there is!

[@Jadeikens]

Yes this all of this! Ether an ingredient change or a cheaper plastic with chemical leeching is my best guess! Money hungry companies will do everything including hurting customers if it gives them an extra penny it’s disgusting 👿

[@CECE-sm1xy]

ur husband definitely didnt say this bc this entire paragraph is on videos made before this video😂😂

[@mekaykayyy]

CECE yea... I’m copying and pasting on most DevaCurl videos for a reason. That’s why everyone is seeing the same post 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mekaykayyy]

leah rose with shipping and warehouse issues that’s definitely a possibility. My husband still thinks it’s the formulation and the ingredients. Just for reference (for everyone reading) my husbands factory makes lotions, shampoos, conditioner, and body washes. That’s all they do at that factory. So that’s why I’m asking him questions since he knows more about this kind of stuff.

[@aleksandralempart8305]

It's phytoxynitol which is known to be a carcinogen

[@Shiiiveeers]

girl i don't mean to de-validate your struggle but your hair still looks amazing! if this is your hair in a bad state then you're doing really well!!

[@Jadeikens]

Rayna B thank you! I think I’m just mad because I see where it could have been 🤦🏻‍♀️ I miss my little 3bs under 😂 My damaged doesn’t look nearly as bad I’m assuming since I was only consistently using one product 😪

[@John-jv2lo]

You guys should see Ayishas hair....I feel so bad for her....and she was a deva curl model and spokesman....go see her video about deva curl....its heart breaking....look up curl ninja video too

[@Jadeikens]

I’ve seen both! Truly horrific what’s been happening to all of us

[@Ilikefrogs..]

I've seen Aysha's hair! It's heart breaking. It looks like she got a relaxer!

[@geckolia3823]

She (A) also never cleansed properly and used a lot of oils. Deva curl products may have been contaminated but it's also important to point out not clarifying can cause what she suffers from. I don't think deva curl has a good enough clarifier, their build up buster is just mis. water...

[@majastaja4810]

I'm from Germany and I have used deva curl products for over 6 years and ONLY them.. I tought I was sick or had too much stress that my hair fall out but I know now that it is because of these products. I have literally no curls anymore..

[@Jadeikens]

Maja Staja there is Hope! You are not alone. So many use it for years only for it to effect them later If they have Giovanni in Germany I would recommend them!

[@sophiemariealex]

Your hair has been chemically damaged by devacurly products and unfortunately, you aren’t the only one:((

[@Angela-gb5jb]

Jadeikens what product from them would you recommend for curly/wavy hair?

[@visa9313]

Hey! Ich habe gerade neu angefangen Devacurl zu benutzen und habe diese lächerlich riesige Gel-Flasche gekauft in den USA. Ich habe noch kein anderes Gel und spiele mit dem Gedanken die noch zu Ende benutzen... es war soviel Geld. Alle anderen Produkte sind von anderen Marken. Denkst du ich kann die Flasche noch zu Ende benutzen? Würde wahrs ein Jahr dauern... oder würdest du sagen ich soll sie wegwerfen, da es zu riskant ist?

[@Jadeikens]

nearly everything in their eco chic line! specificity the deeper moisture shampoo and conditioner

[@dianasj]

Using devacurl products also made my hair fall out, destroyed my curl pattern, gave me extremely dry itchy scalp, and i now have dandruff for the first time in my life. I had been using Devacurl for about 5 years. I just found out about this controversy this past weekend. I had stopped using my devacurl products two months ago, and switched to Nioxin hair loss system because my hair was so damaged and falling out in chunks and it was making me so upset. Low and behold, it stopped falling out about two weeks after I stopped using Devacurl. I have joined the facebook group for those who have experienced this and I am going to be emailing them tomorrow to get a refund. I also just ordered Olaplex #3 from Sephora because I hear it helps. I googled chemical hair damage and started crying because I finally understand that my curls have been completely ruined due to this issue that they refuse to address and here I was thinking all this time that I was doing something wrong. I know exactly how you feel! I used to have beautiful full waist length curly hair and now even though it is still to my waist i will have to get it cut significant amounts of it every other month until I can fully get rid of the damaged hair!

[@Jadeikens]

I’m so heartbroken for you that’s completely awful! We should be able to trust brands not to sell us poison 😭😡 I really recommend the hair mask I linked from Giovanni (not sponsored I just love how much it has helped!) tbh it helped my curls just as much as olaplex! I have faith all out hair can be restored!

[@ssnfallon779]

Diana Go for a salon treatment with Olaplex. It will repair your hair shaft even better than the No.3 treatment.

[@Jadeikens]

I agree I have olaplex no2 and it helps!

[@brookelee9745]

This random stylist recommended devacurl to me even tho I have thin, straight, flat hair. She sent me home with samples and i’m glad i never stuck with it.

[@Jadeikens]

Brooke Lee that’s so weird! Especially since you have strong hair 🤔 but I’m glad you steered clear!

[@Samia-2003]

Good thing I’m too broke to afford devacurl

[@Jadeikens]

Honestly I saved for months to try it and now I will endlessly regret it 😭

[@snoopyandgarfield]

Thank you for speaking out. Melt Into Moisture is the only Deva product I have ever used. I started using it in 2019, after purchasing it from Ulta. I've been experiencing massive hair loss, I have lost more than half of my density, and now I have a very dry scalp with areas that appear almost iridescent in the nearly bald patches at my temples. Prior to using Devacurl, my hair was long, very full with beautiful curls, that I only air dried. Now my hair is fried, frizzy and tangly with straight straw like ends, curl pattern is shot; despite being cut several times trying to remove the damage, but it's all damaged. I spent months trying to figure out if it was due to some kind of medical issue, it wasn't.

[@Jadeikens]

That’s so heartbreaking to hear I’m sorry that happed to you 😔 Now we can all start a new, it still horrible but at least we know now.

[@annaburns5382]

I started on DC when it first came out and was owned by Lorraine Massey. My curls were amazing! So much so that strangers would approach me and ask about my hair. I eventually left DC to try other products. Not as good results as DC, so, about 3 years ago, I switched back with great expectations. I didn't realize that Lorraine had sold it and it had changed hands several times. My hair got stringy and I was loosing a lot! I changed to other products and my hair health was restored. At that time, I didn't make a connection between DC and my hair issues, but....looking back, I realize that was what was going on.

[@Jadeikens]

This is the issue with big bought out companies they don’t care about the customer as long as they make the biggest profit possible

[@linnjeanette]

I started my curly girl journey a year ago... Using only devacurl products. This explains a lot

[@Jadeikens]

I’m sorry that they suck! But now you can move on to better product and really see your hair thrive.

[@annabanna7620]

Girl!!! Your hair still looks drop dead gorgeous! Don't worry, just give it time and it will eventually heal! Thanks for the video and for warning us. It's great that people are speaking out and telling the truth about Devacurl products.

[@Jadeikens]

even though my channel small I felt it was my duty to say especially since I mentioned devacurl on my channel before. And thank you so much for the comment it helps especially with how I feel about my hair right now I’m still not happy but hey hair grows and I’ll be OK thank you for your words.💕😭

[@MBsUtubey]

Girl I’m so thankful to hear your hair is getting better🦋 I Started using DivaCurl early January 2019 and only two nights ago found out what the hell is been going on with me I feel I’ve lost literally half of my full Ness, I have more bald spots than you I’ve already taken 7 inches off my hair and more to go. I know I don’t need to explain to you the devastation I’ve been going through. My devistion since finding out feels tripled...your tears are understood. Its truly unfathomable that they are still selling this product. Im in the just finding out state about this and I am devastated right now for myself for you for everyone involved😭 anyhow sending you much love light and aloha~•🌺 Thank you so much for this video

[@Jadeikens]

I’m so sorry that that’s happened to you! It’s really an eye opener to watch out for brands we think we can trust. So many of us went on to use products we had no idea were causing the problem because a brand is to afraid to recall. I’ll never trust deva again and I’m looking more towards simple ingredients and home made products when I get the chance to experiment. We are in this together we will heal together 💞

[@cfglz06]

Thank you so much for having the courage to come out and expose this disaster. I had just re-started to use this product last week so I am running today after work to return all the products. Hope you are able to recover your beautiful curls. So sorry you had this happen to you.

[@Jadeikens]

Great that you caught it after a week! Go get your money! Me too my hair will heal if not the length the new growth will be healthy

[@jamieking1331]

I feel your pain sis. ♡♡ stay strong. You're beautiful

[@Jadeikens]

I’m made stronger by the fact that I have a platform to warn others even if it’s a small platform!

[@jennifermartinez2173]

You made an incredible point about your hair being your confidence… I chopped off most of my hair yesterday and cried at the hair salon but I feel confident with short hair. I was crying because I was angry because of the time invested because of the money invested and because I have to start all over again when I had just gotten to a point where I was happy with my curls. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m in the same boat.

[@Jadeikens]

I’m just happy there is a community of women and men that I can heal along with who understand our journey and love of curls.

[@marissalynn3112]

I bought devacurl about a month into embracing my natural wave pattern and I am so glad people like you are making these videos before I damaged my hair even more. For about two weeks now I’ve been wondering if maybe my hair was naturally straight and i THOUGHT it was wavy, that’s how bad devacurl made my hair look.

[@Jadeikens]

Wow that crazy! I’m so glad I could help you find out about DC 💩 I’m sure you have those waves!

[@teenamarie3394]

That's crazy. Thanks SO much for the heads up. I hope your scalp and curls heal up quickly and easily! I totally feel ya when you were talking about hair and confidence. My hair is my security blanket, and it's such a huge deal when products don't work, or you get a bad haircut. Curly girl struggles are something, ya? Hang in there!

[@Jadeikens]

I’m happy to spread information! My scalp is already much better after one was she psoriasis is already dormant. Hair means a lot to so many of us!

[@anjhys]

Hello, I really feel so sorry for what you are going through. I don’t have curly hair but I almost bought these products for my husband you has the cuttest curls. Your testimony is very helpful to understand better curly hair reaction. Thank you for your testimony and I am sure hair will grow just be patient ❤️

[@Jadeikens]

thank you fore your sweet words im happy to help!

[@Amanda-zn2ze]

I came across your video after watching TONS of other ones just like yours 😔. I can't believe that a product I've used for 4 years could have this affect. It is truly heartbreaking and I understand your pain!! Curly hair is SO hard to deal with in general... Having to deal with this on top of it is devastating. It made me really sad when you started crying because I've been very emotional about my hair as well. I had no idea what could've caused this. But I hope that everyone struggling can come together and regrow their hair and their confidence 💕

[@Jadeikens]

Thank you, hair for me is my confidence, my lions mane of pride. It’s been taken from me but is will be back and better than ever, hopefully all of the damage will be gone in a year. Thank you for being here💕

[@saphide]

Can I say that you have the cutest curls ever? I'm redhead and my hair looked like yours when i was a baby !< Also, I advise you to make your own hair products ! I don't have the money to buy good natural gel for curly hair so I just use flaxseed gel. It costs cents and my hair never felt better. I can leave it in the freazer the days I don't use it and defrost it for the days I need it. If i'm lazy or traveling i'm just buying aloe vera gel, but I still prefer flaxseed gel since it's cheap and I don't have to add anything to it such as alcohol which dries hair.

[@Jadeikens]

Aww thank you that so sweet of you to say 😭 I best you hair is amazing I wish I has natural ginger 😂😭 I think once I live on my own I will make a lot more home made products but as it is now I have no time and the fridge is way to far from the shower 😂😂😂

[@liveandletlive497]

I’m interested to know if this is caused by devacurl only or the curly girl method in general. I’ve noticed all curly girl youtubers have had a change in hair texture (except manes by mell who occasionally uses sulfates and silicones). Is it the fact we’re not properly cleansing our scalp because of the lack of sulfate? It’s strange. I haven’t used devacurl but I have the same exact issues. Could it be other products with similar ingredients to devacurl?

[@Jadeikens]

Sara I’m not strict cg! So I’m pretty positive it’s not that, I still use my selsun Blue when my scalp bugs and it has sls 😅 But it can happen if the scalp is not properly cleaned there will be scalp issues. The reason I have come to fully believe it’s devacurl is that the breakage is only where that was applied and exactly how I applied it even where it was only the lengths and the stretching of my curl pattern only in those areas as well

[@Jadeikens]

Sara I would recommend clarifying with a sulfate at least once a month!

[@rozepyracantha5574]

I have the same issues and not using DC. Lately. I have been using Verb. I'm so over my natural hair

[@snoopyandgarfield]

I didn't follow curly girl method. Melt Into Moisture is the only Deva product I have ever used. I started using it in 2019, after purchasing it from Ulta. I've been experiencing massive hair loss, I have lost more than half of my density, and now I have a very dry scalp with areas that appear almost iridescent in the nearly bald patches at my temples. Prior to using Devacurl, my hair was long, very full with beautiful curls, that I only air dried. Now my hair is fried, frizzy and tangly with straight straw like ends, curl pattern is shot; despite being cut several times trying to remove the damage, but it's all damaged. I spent months trying to figure out if it was due to some kind of medical issue, it wasn't.

[@liveandletlive497]

Jadeikens ah I see! That definitely does point to it being due to Devacurl. Perhaps there are other products using similar ingredients to devacurl that are causing the same issues. It’s terrible. I used sulfate yesterday for the first time in years and my scalp has never felt cleaner 😂

[@elainealfano4541]

Good for you finally speaking up!! ♥️♥️ So many of us were effected. I'm with you on the hair being part of our confidence. You should see how bad our hair is . Check out the group you mentioned.

[@Jadeikens]

If I can help get the word out I’m going to! We will I get through this!

[@elainafox9382]

I think your hair is still gorgeous! I know its not what you're used to... and I would be so incredibly hurt and upset if it happened to me as well 😓 but you are beautiful, your hair is beautiful. It looks a millions times better than my transitioning wavy hair, than it ever will honestly. Things will get better 🥰

[@Jadeikens]

Thank you so much for being so sweet your words really do help especially at this point of my new transition stage. I’m positive your waves are beautiful so don’t put yourself down I love you and thank you for your comments🥺💕

[@roxyroxii1152]

Is "focalized" = focussed + localized? Effective word. First time I've heard it.

[@Jadeikens]

I think my mom says it all the time so I picked it up! Thought everyone said it 😅😂

[@erasmiaeichhorn9365]

I am so sorry you have to go through this. I never tried Devacurl because they were alittle out of my price range. But your hair is still beautiful! Rock it out girl. You are gorgeous! I just start curly girl at the end of Aug.

[@Jadeikens]

I what worse is I never spend tons on product and I bought all of my deva products as a big gift to myself after saving for months 😭 Thank you gorgeous, it’s nice to hear it’s not too bad looking 😅 How’s Cgm working for you? Till I started June of 2018 I thought I just had straight frizz mane cgm gave me so much!

[@erasmiaeichhorn9365]

@@Jadeikens it is working good so far. I can't seem to get the back to curl, it's more waves but the front curls like crazy. My sister introduced me to CGM. Its kinda trial and error at the moment try to find the best product for my hair. Right now I am using Pacifica Pineapple Curl Shampoo and Conditioner with As I Am Leave in with Cantu curl activator and then Shea Shouffle gel. I'm not a fan of the Cantu curl activator. But I don't wanna buy more product just I absolutely need to. Lol my husband is growing out his beard and just realized how much products he needs for his. Now he understands why I need as many as I do. Lol

[@Jadeikens]

Erasmia Eichhorn I’ve moved away from creams and lately have opted for leave ins as my hair gets weighed down! I love the asiam leave in! I think I’ve found a wash line up that works best for me!

[@poxyfairy]

I've been following this whole Deva Curl thing, and by far your story has just broken my heart. I hope this company goes down. This is horrible for everyone affected. I'm glad you've stopped the products and seeing better results!

[@Jadeikens]

thank you for being so kind 💕 they will get what they deserve till then I’ll work on fixing my hair!

[@Flanuora]

This video actually makes so much sense !! I’ve used Bumble and Bumble Bb. Curl (care) for years. My hair is more curly now then when I was a kid. I don’t know if it’s curly girl approved but it’s my holy grail.

[@Jadeikens]

thank you for saying so! we will all have different holy grails I’ve just found mine!

[@veronicatrinidad6177]

I stopped using Devacurl since the summer for the exact reasons you mentioned. I was only using Devacurl so I know this is the reason more changed. When my hair was wet after a wash I saw so much scalp I looked like I was going bald. The breakage was thinning my hair that much. Since I've stopped i look like I'm slowly growing my hair back. The back of my head in the canopy area was looking like a bald spot forming is finally filling in. I cant tell how many mornings before work I would spend trying to fluff that area so that it wouldn't look balding. My self esteem was sinking to an all time low and I couldn't explain why. Until I saw a segment on Curl Ninja. When Stephanie mentioned all her similar issues with Devacurl I had a viola! moment and immediately stopped. I literally weaned off the DevaCrack. There is hope and recovery for your hair once you stop.

[@Jadeikens]

Wow that intense I’m so sorry you had to go through that and I’m happy you are healing! Two weeks without Devacurl and my hair and scalp is improving!

[@pamelaboklan2980]

Glad you figured it out. Your hair looks really nice in this video. I like the length too!! Good luck!

[@jerseygurlmi4985]

I've been having issues with the Low Poo shampoo -- my scalp is showing through my curls, and it's not keep it's curl shape and is drying out in the area where it grows about mid-way, front/side (by ears). I've switched to Lus Brands and hope my baby hairs grow back!

[@Jadeikens]

Jerseygurl Mi I have faith they will all of the ladies I’ve talked to who have stopped use have see tons of regrownth! You got it!

[@andreahawley9600]

It’s so crazy, I just started realizing my hair was getting drier and I had super bad dandruff but I NEVER thought it was my deva curl products. I started using Deva even more and their deep conditioning masks to try to fix it. It wasn’t until just yesterday when I saw Spisha’s video that it finally connected. I’m so upset as I have almost all their products and have spent so much money. I buy half price at cosmoprof bc of my license and it’s still so expensive so I feel super bad for everyone paying full price

[@Jadeikens]

Everyone is suffering because of them! Most people are able to get refunds from DC customer service though!

[@JessieLeTV]

My exact issues!!!! Even after I stopped deva curl I still have dandruff.

[@asiawilk]

aw I really feel for you :( For what it's worth, I really see that you are absolutely gorgeous.And your hair will get restored in time I'm sure! Best of luck with your new hair journey

[@Jadeikens]

Thank you that’s really kind of you to say 😭 My hair will heal surely it will be better after a good cut ✂️

[@ItsAlysserrMan]

I love the curls goddess curls gel. It’s really nice and has a pretty nice hold especially since I have fine low porosity hair.

[@Jadeikens]

Oooo I’ve never heard of that! Is it clean? I’m in love with ecoslay orange marmalade 😍😍😍

[@Days.]

You and your hair still look gorgeous, I hope everyone will regain their hair health as soon as possible

[@Jadeikens]

Thank you for saying so 😭 Me too mostly I want my longevity back every 7 days was great now I’m lucky to get 2 days

[@yourmajestyswill]

I am so sorry, I cant imagine what you are dealing with right now. There are so many hurt by this, I cant even believe it. I never used their products, but its scary such a large company can cause so much damage.

[@Jadeikens]

It really is and they won’t even acknowledge that it’s possible, I’ll get through this, thank you for your words 💕

[@tianaresende7867]

Download the app Think Dirty to help you see if the hair products you’re using are good, trust me sis it helps out a lot👍🏽💕

[@Jadeikens]

tiana resende I did! That’s why I praise Giovanni product so much now! Clean and they work amazing for curls!

[@suzithewitch]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I just saw my first video about it last night. I have some Deva products, but am not religious about using them, except... yeah, there's a wavy styler cream I've been using that might explain some of my hair loss, scalp irritation, and frizzy hair. Bummer. I do really like the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Max Hold Gel. My hair *loves* protein, and this has been working well for me. Also, I know this won't help because it's something you need to see, you can't hear it from others, but I think you are amazing and your hair is amazing too. Thank you for making this video and sharing this information with us.

[@Jadeikens]

my hair adores protein I’ll have to try that gel out! though I have to check the sent first 😂 thank you it does help knowing I at least look normal to others! I’m happy to spread the word if it will help others!

[@sweetascandy4409]

YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!! Xx

[@Jadeikens]

Thank you for thinking so 😭💕

[@CreateYourBestVersion]

Those products never worked for me ...everyone has to get to know their hair and what products works best for them👏

[@Jadeikens]

Create Your Best Version I agree 100% though I do think this is a batch issue! The product worked great for me till I got new bottles to replace!

[@CreateYourBestVersion]

Jadeikens yes that could be it.

[@allie21879]

After I started buying Devacurl my boyfriend started using it with me, because he doesn’t really care about the products he uses. We now both have very itchy and dry scalps and have dandruff that we have never experienced before

[@Jadeikens]

I suggest switching immediately! My psoriasis had improved a ton!

[@mj-kawai]

Hi! 💕 I was using DC about once or twice a month, just like you. I've noticed frizz and less density And less Unfortunately, I don't think it's a batch situation. If you download the Think Dirthy App and search DevaCurl.,then click on the red ingredients and you will see. I hope your hair recovers soon.

[@Jadeikens]

Yes I have the dirty app! After quitting devacurl I now use only Giovanni hair products as they are all green on the dirty! Wel will all recover, I’m hopeful!

[@mj-kawai]

I love Giovanni too! And 💗the price. In the future, I'm not buying without previous research... My sister told me my hair is thinner... Before your video, as I only used DevaCurl once or twice a month, I was not making the connection. I'm sad. I thought I was just having not so good hair days. Now, when I look at older pictures, I can see I had more définition before.. 🙄 I feel I was deceived. 💕 Thank you for this video, it made me open my eyes.

[@Jadeikens]

I happy I could give you the information that led to you stooping DC, IT WILL GET BETTER

[@juliettedarcy2573]

This stressed me out so bad that I had to apply coconut oil sorry girl

[@Jadeikens]

lol I feel it right after realizing DC was the issue I washed my hair with dawn and put my hair in a bun

[@lorenajones6619]

Did the natural coconut oil restore your hair?

[@melleciosa]

aww everything is going to be ok. i'm sorry this is happening to you. one product that has never failed me is Curls Blueberry Bliss... the jelly is my favorite gel of all time. Blueberries also have healing properties that promote hair growth and strength.

[@Jadeikens]

I just bought it last month! I’ll have to use it again now that I got rid of DC

[@mrs.stripedpajamas5426]

My hair broke off, too...and my hair is healthy, no dye, ECT. It broke off an inch from the roots.

[@Jadeikens]

I’m so sorry to hear that 😔 They will pay! Email them they have been giving out refunds!

[@AnnieDHarpie]

I had issues with it as well, but I never liked how my DevaCurl products made my hair feel, so I didn’t use it for long. I had some hair loss, but it’s growing back since I stopped using DC. Something is really off with the formulations

[@Jadeikens]

They really have big issues they need to address if they want to earn their customers trust back

[@serrasilva7316]

I think your hair looks beautiful. I only found out about the curly hair method mid-2017. All my life, I either straightened it or braided it. I used pantene a lot so sulfates and silicone were my go to. My profile picture is from before I learned how to treat my natural hair. In mid 2017, I got my first devacurl cut and I loved it. I used drug store products though cause I couldn't afford the brand (sulfate and silicone free). September 2019 was when I first purchased devacurl one conditioner. Since I'm frugal, I was using my old conditioner until it ran out. It probably wasnt until late october/early November that I started using the bottle. My curls turned stringy and frizzy. I didn't know if it was my bed time routine or working out too much. It just got so deflated. The way your hair looks now, is what my hair used to look like and I really hope to get back to that.

[@Jadeikens]

I think you will get your curls back, my hair is looking better with every wash just don’t give up I’m so sorry this all happened to you

[@chaoticoverdrive27]

When you said your hair is what makes you feel confident.... that hit me hard. I feel that way too. My curl pattern has been ruined a bit as well. I’m just starting from zero. I’m sorry that this has happened to you.

[@Jadeikens]

and I’m so sorry that this is happened to you , hair grows so I know one day we will both get past the situation. so many of us see our hair as our source of beauty and it’s really sad that a brand can do this to us but now we have to find other ways to make us feel beautiful and that’s OK we will grow from this.😭😔💕

[@jenstafford7692]

You just described my whole experience in the last 4-5 months. Every👏🏼Single👏🏼Issue plus dullness. I’m two weeks DevaCurl product free and the scalp irritation is almost completely healed.

[@Jadeikens]

at least we know the cause now! we are in this together

[@Elkycreates]

I don’t use Devacurl but am having the same issues with other “friendly” products!!!

[@Jadeikens]

Perhaps you should add back in sulfates here and there, personally i shampoo with sulsun blue once a month!

[@SFranny]

Your hair still looks beautiful - you are beautiful ❤

I've stumbled across these Devacurl videos. I know nothing about the curly girl, deva stuff but I think your hair looks lovely! I know it's what you think that matters but a random stranger on the Internet likes it :) I hope you can get your hair back to where you want to asap.

[@Jadeikens]

Aww well thank you I guess knowing that it doesn’t come off as crap to other helps a bit! 💕 Maybe I can only see the difference 😭🥺

[@claireeebee]

@@Jadeikens You're welcome! I definitely think that's true. We tend to be hyper critical about ourselves but others don't see what we're talking about. At least not as bad as we think it is (insert whatever "it" is)!

DevaCurl made my hair fallout in clumps, so you're not alone girl!

[@Jadeikens]

At least all of us have each other!

[@jessieborrell1856]

Thank you for speaking out! I had a really bad reaction to Build Up Buster and didnt think much of it but shortly after started hearing about some of the problems people are having so I immediately stopped using any Deva stuff and now i'm looking back on my experience and i'm realizing it probably wasnt a coincidence or an allergy or something. I've never in my life had an allergic reaction before to anything. I'm sorry your poor hair :( I luckily didnt end up having any problems with my curls themselves

[@Jadeikens]

Yea my skin problems flared up after adding devacurl when they had gone away for over 6 months. Now that I’ve stopped my skin had done so much better

[@haingo36]

I was lucky enough that I avoid using Devacurl products. I get the Leave-In Conditioner from Sephora Rewards, and I bought the Wave Maker. But after using them only once, I see that they did not make my hair different. So I return the Wave Maker and toss the Conditioner, now I am glad that I did that.

[@Jadeikens]

I’m so happy you did that too! one less victim!

[@curlywavydiane]

so sorry this happened to you! you and your hair are beautiful. devacurl ruined my hair too, it is traumatizing and depressing as hell.

Hey I’ve heard that you can return DC products if you’ve experienced issues. That’s according to Curl Ninja. And I have no idea if it works like DC gel, but Curly Susie swears by the Bioterra Gel that’s available at Sally’s. It’s affordable and not a hard hold as far as I can tell. I’ve also heard that Jessicurl and Bouncecurl make great products. Here’s to healing 💚

[@Jadeikens]

yes I’ve already start an email chain with them and hopefully they go through with my return as I spent a lot of money that I spent time saving just to try them. I actually love bioterra gel and you’re right it isn’t very strong but when I need a stronger hold I use orange marmalade and that’s been pretty great. Thank you for your kindness 💞

[@LadyxSky]

Try a rice water rinse! It'll add protein and hopefully some bounce. ❤️ Also look into Surface. They have the Awaken line that will help with the thinning.

[@Jadeikens]

I actually have done rice water before even have a video on my channel about it! I’ll have to try it again haven’t done one again since stopping deva 🤔 I’ll check surface out! Thank you!

[@vulffwardgarr4546]

Oh my poor dear, if I ONLY had hair as yours is in this video! Colourful, bouncy, beautiful and full of body that's how it appears to me. I do understand that we all have that one trait, that if everything else goes wrong, we can handle it because our hair, nails, skin tone, eyes and lashes (whatever IT is) is good. I'm sorry its causing you so much distress, but at least you have an answer for it. In the end Jade, you're gorgeous no matter the topic of your videos.

[@theduchessofkitty4107]

It’s either a formula issue or a package/warehousing issue. I stopped using those products a few days ago. Searching for good alternatives. DevaCurl is becoming the Frye Festival of hair care.

[@Jadeikens]

great comparison! everyone was told it was the best and turned into a 💩 fest I love Giovanni, and Shea moisture!

[@MrKellycusty]

Thankfully I only used DC for about six months at the beginning of my curly journey but man did I notice a BIG change when I stopped. Almost a year later, my hair is curly, moisturized, shiny, and full. And I don’t have the scalp/neck acne I had developed with DC. Prettttty wild.

[@short.andcurly8772]

Jadeikens I have some mild thinning on my temples and I only used the no poos for a few months in the summer and early fall of last year. I purchased the curly & super curly travel size kits from the DevaCurl website. I didn’t didn’t even finish one of the no poos because I began to notice that my little “baby hairs” or “edges” had basically disappeared and I started to struggle with dry flaky patches on my scalp. My little baby hairs have grown back since I stopped using the no poos and conditioners and my thinning spots are starting to fill in again. I did purchase some of their stylers last October (from Ulta) but I’m putting them aside and discontinuing my use of them for the time being until we get some real answers from DevaCurl about what’s going on.

[@Jadeikens]

Short.andcurly that’s smart! Better safe than sorry! I clarify once a month and that seems to work for me but I do love how clean asiam cowash gets my roots.

[@short.andcurly8772]

Jadeikens I also try to clarify at least once a month. I’ve never tried the As I Am Coconut Cowash but I’ve heard lots of folks rave about it. I’m considering trying the Curlsmith Cowash again. It’s about the same price as the Deva No Poo at Ulta but I like the ingredient list better and the main cleansing ingredient is much higher on the ingredient list compared to the ingredient list on the No Poo Original.

Yeah I stopped cold turkey this weekend using their products after seeing all these videos and comments. Luckily I only used them for a few months so it’s not to to bad but I just had a wash day with a different shampoo I still have and the briogeo don’t dispair repair hair mask and I feel already my scalp is not so itchy anymore and my hair is feeling a lot better. Bought new products from briogeo so hope to get them soon and try them and get my hair healthier again. Specially cause I started my cg journey with devacurl products. The stringynes looks familiar cause that was how my hair would look after using the products and I have 2a to 2c hair mind you. Way different hair type to yours and the stringy parts look like my hair. Might go back to geovanni products although I do love paraben, sulfate and silicone free products now cause I do feel that part of the products made my hair a little healthier.

[@Jadeikens]

Not sure if you know but the Giovanni eco chic line is sulfates and silicon free it’s completely cgm approved whic is what I adore it! Specificity the deeper moisture shampoo and conditioner 😍 They are also clean on the dirty app! I get no itching with it 💕

[@adrazich]

I'm having similar issues as you. I also have psoriasis which has flared in the exact same spots as you and is the worst I've ever seen it on my hairline. My scalp is itchier too. I started the curly girl method about a year and half ago and slowly incorporated more and more devacurl products because they were all silicon and sulfate free and I was overwhelmed trying to find products. I started using their gel about 6 months ago and I loved the way it made my hair soft and not as crunchy as using the cheaper gels. My hair is wavy with some ringlets underneath. Over time it has gotten more stringy and will be curly at the top and straight near the ends. This gets worse as the day goes on. My hair is frizzy and looks like it wants moisture. I feel like my hair is getting to the point where it looks as bad as the first month I transitioned to curly girl. Some days, like on the weekends, I'll wash my hair and put nothing in my hair to give it a break and those days my hair seems curlier with more volume than days I use their products. I'm going to completely boycott them and try other products and see how my hair does. It'll be interesting to see if my psoriasis calms down too. If anyone has recommendations of products to use instead I'm all ears.

[@Jadeikens]

I love the Giovanni eco chic line and specificity the deeper moisture shampoo and conditioner! They are also a clean brand and organic, my psoriasis is already calming down with it!

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

Ahhh, the penny finally drops. I've been using Deva Curl the majority of the time for the past year--shampoo, conditioner, mousse and sometime curl cream. I very rarely diffuse dry my hair. I've colored my hair for years, but my stylist has used the same products for years--with never any problems. I already have very fine thin hair and use Rogaine. However, I was pretty happy with how my hair looked--until the past several months. Over time my hair started thinning in places--mostly on the sides of my head. I wondered if the Rogaine wasn't working any more. Some of the thin spots are actually pretty bald. And the other thing I noticed is that on the thinnest side of my head, my hair almost always is frizzly--even when I'm straight out of the shower and my hair is soaking wet. I don't KNOW if its Deva Curl, but I don't want to take the chance. There are so many good products out there--I'm moving on! Thanks for this video. I hope your hair recovers quickly.

That’s awful, thank no chance. Worst case DC wasn’t the issue but if it was you will know when you see new growth! I love the clean products from Giovanni they have been helping a ton!

I did not use diva curl products but I got similar results in the past year. I have virgin hair and have always used drugstore products, and always had good results. The only thing I’ve added this past year, was Marc Anthony curl cream activator. I got it because watching KZbin convinced me that I needed this product in my life. My hair is now a mess; it’s like the curl code broke down. So much frizz and the curl isn’t there anymore. I’ve had a lot of hair fallout and Literally some parts just do not remember how to curl. Idk. I’m slowly giving up and may have to straighten it. 😪

don’t give up! switch curl creams and maybe check your protein/moisture! I would also clarify!

[@evest7829]

Uh OKAY, I am confused. I've noticed weird curl patterns, hair loss and a general "frizziness" about a year ago and someone told me it might be because of my DevaCurl products (I use their gel and heaven in hair deep conditioner) and I didn't believe it because my hair always looks BOMB on the first day. But then on the second day and after I start noticing all these things that you list here. I also lose hair in the exact same spots that you mentioned, sides and part. I never put two and two together because I've always had a big forehead and crooked hairline but jesus christ, it has gotten worse. I have already gotten a different deep conditioner from as i am, but if someone can recommend a gel with medium to strong hold I'd be thankful.

[@emilkagorski5915]

I would recommend looking into making your own flaxseed gel - there are various recipes you can follow to make the gel, but the gist of it is to boil some flaxseeds in water until it thickens (about 10 minutes) let cool and then strain through a cheesecloth/linen rag. It doesn't have the same kind of hold as conventional, store bought products, though it does provide a nice amount of curl definition. Just something to consider that's cheap, clean, and essentially waste-free.

I have made it in the past and loved it but I don’t currently have the time with my lifestyle to make gel once a week 😔 Thank you for suggesting it though!
