Cleanse
Detergents found in most shampoos produce lather but dries your curls. Cleanse your curls gently with DevaCurl cleansers which are sulfate, paraben and silicone free. Formulated with a rich blend of botanical ingredients, DevaCurl cleansers provide maximum moisturization. When switching from shampoo to DevaCurl, continue your normal cleansing schedule. Once the hair becomes more hydrated and healthy, you can cleanse less often. To prevent tangles and overwashing, use our basic curl cleansing techniques:
Wet hair thoroughly without disrupting the hair’s basic shape
Apply cleanser along fingertips, then evenly distribute to fingertips on the other hand
Apply cleanser directly to the scalp taking care not to disturb the curls
Firmly massage the entire scalp using circular motions
Let the water spray through the hair to rinse dirt and product build-up
Hydrate
Curly hair needs extra moisture to stay hydrated and frizz free. Our universal conditioner, DevaCurl One Condition, contains healthy ingredients that won’t weigh hair down. Most curl types will benefit from a small amount of DevaCurl One Condition left in after rinsing. Curly girls with a high frizz factor and thick curls can skip the rinse and just squeeze out the excess water. Curls will naturally absorb the conditioner it needs, and release what it does not. To achieve maximum hydration, we suggest these conditioning tips:
Use a generous palmful of DevaCurl One Condition
Glide conditioner downward through the hair with your fingers
Squeeze hair in an upward motion toward the scalp
Listen for a squishy sound which means hydration penetration has been achieved
Style
DevaCurl styling gels are an essential step in the curl care routine. Our styling gels are alcohol and silicone free. They also contain humectants and nourishing ingredients to protect hair against outside elements. Once applied, the styling gel will harden creating a gel cast—and when dry, the cast is released and the result is soft, defined, touchable curls. To style your curls like a pro, consider the following tips:
After conditioning, tilt your head forward use the DevaTowel and gently squeeze out excess water and encourage curl formation. Repeat all around your head
Remain at a tilt and let your curls fall freely. Place a palmful of DevaCurl gel in one hand and distribute to the other hand. Apply evenly, covering all curls, starting at the ends and moving up towards the scalp
Air-dry or use the DevaCurl Dryer and DevaFuser to dry your curls. Then, use your fingertips to very lightly shake the hair at the roots. Finish by gently lifting your fingers off the scalp.
