The DevaCurl Buyer's Guide - Pick the Right Cleanser, Conditioner and Styler for Your Curl Type

The DevaCurl method in 4 steps

  1. Cleanse - choose a No-Poo (zero-lather co-wash), Low-Poo (mild sulfate-free lather) or Buildup Buster (clarifying reset) depending on your wash frequency.
  2. Condition - One Condition Original detangles and softens; Melt Into Moisture is the weekly deep-treatment mask.
  3. Prep - apply Plumping Primer or Mist of Wonders to soaking-wet hair to lock in moisture and start curl formation.
  4. Style - rake or scrunch a gel, cream or foam through wet hair, scrunch out excess water, then air-dry or diffuse with a curl diffuser on low heat.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy DevaCurl in Canada?

Eastern Beauty Supply is a Canadian authorized retailer for DevaCurl. We ship Canada-wide with free expedited shipping over $59.

Is DevaCurl safe? What happened with the reformulation?

After consumer reports in 2020, DevaCurl undertook independent dermatological and clinical testing, removed and replaced several legacy ingredients, and relaunched the line under its Curl Care Code. The current formulas sold today are reformulated, dermatologist-tested and sulfate, silicone and paraben-free.

Is DevaCurl cruelty-free? Is it vegan?

DevaCurl is cruelty-free - never tested on animals. Most current formulas are vegan; check the individual product page for the specific item, as a small number of skus contain ingredients such as honey or beeswax.

Does DevaCurl contain protein, sulfates or silicones?

The current DevaCurl line is sulfate-free and silicone-free across the board. Some stylers (like SuperCream and the Defining Gels) contain plant-derived proteins or amino acids for hold and elasticity - if you are strictly protein-sensitive, lean on One Condition Original and the lighter cream-based stylers.

How do I use Ultra Defining Gel?

Apply to soaking-wet, freshly conditioned hair. Rake through with fingers from roots to ends, then scrunch upward. Air-dry or diffuse on low heat without touching until fully dry, then scrunch out the cast with a few drops of oil or Mist of Wonders.

What is the difference between Ultra and Supreme Defining Gel?

Ultra Defining Gel is a medium-hold all-purpose gel that works for almost every curl type. Supreme Defining Gel is a stronger, longer-lasting hold designed for coarse, frizz-prone hair and high-humidity climates - it locks definition for multi-day curls.

What is the difference between No-Poo and Low-Poo?

No-Poo Original is a zero-lather co-wash for daily or near-daily washers and very dry curls. Low-Poo Original has a mild sulfate-free lather for people who want a more familiar wash feel or have an oilier scalp.

Can I use DevaCurl on color-treated or keratin-treated hair?

Yes - the entire DevaCurl line is sulfate-free, which preserves both colour and keratin treatments. Buildup Buster is also colour-safe.

Is DevaCurl good for wavy hair (2A-2C)?

Yes - reach for WaveMaker, Light Defining Gel or Frizz-Fighting Volumizing Foam over Plumping Primer. Skip the heavier creams that can weigh waves down.

What is a DevaCut?

A DevaCut is a dry-cutting technique for curls developed by DevaCurl's founder. Each curl is cut individually in its natural shape, dry, rather than sectioned wet. Look for DevaCut-certified stylists in your area - it is a salon service, not a product.

How do I refresh second-day curls?

Mist hair with Mist of Wonders or water, smooth a pea-sized amount of SuperCream or StylingCream over flattened areas, and re-scrunch. Diffuse for 20 seconds to wake up the curl pattern.
