Review: DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam

Hey ladies! It's that time again, my favorite time I might add, review time. Today's lovely concotion? The newest styler from the folks at DevaCurl; Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam. So let's get right to it!

Normally when I'm at the drugstore, or wherever and I'm checking out the hair products aisle, I just avoid mousse/foam products altogether. I never seem to get the hold I need or want and my hair always feels dry afterwards. So in short, usually mousse/foaming stylers are a total failure.

This is not the case with DevaCurl FFVF!

Confession of a product junkie.........I'm in love

Hello gals, sorry it's been so long. I have a confession today.......I'm a DevaCurl junkie. I absolutely love the entire line, and I may never turn back. The entire line smells divine, works beautifully, and makes my hair happy. DevaCurl is all I've been using for awhile now......that's right I said it, I'm monogamous. From the first time I opened a bottle of No-Poo I knew Deva was "The One".

I adore the entire line, and if you're curly, like myself, and haven't tried the line, then run out a pick some up. While I realize that what works for my hair won't necessarily work for everyone, it's worth trying. The DevaCurl line is the #1 hair care line for curlies in the U.S. for a reason.

The products are so moisturizing. If you aren't like me, and you like to keep things simple, then you can literally just use 3 products: No-Poo, One Condition, and AnGEL. However, I am a total product junkie, and I thoroughly enjoy mixing it up with my hair routine. I use almost the entire line, and I can honestly say, I love them all. I don't really use everything as directed, but I do use everything. The only Deva product that I've yet to get my hands on is the DevaFuser, and you can bet after Christmas is over, I'll be picking that beauty up too.

The reason I'm even telling you ladies this, is because I typically am a polygamist with products. I don't expect to get everything I need or want from one brand or line. Just because I adore Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream, doesn't mean I need or want the shampoo and condish to match, right? Wrong, well wrong with Deva products anyway. I could go on and on about DevaCurl all day, literally. I need some Deva friends to share the excitement, love, and relief at finally finding something that works for me, with. Any takers?

Protein, Deep Treatments, and ACV, my weekly routine...

Hi gals, so I thought I would share with you how I care for my hair on a weekly basis. Obviously, I co-wash everyday with DevaCurl, Suave Conditioner, or Wen. And every 2 or 3 days I use regular conditioner, I only do it this often, because I don't want to overcondition my hair, and if I use DevaCurl No Poo or Wen, my hair feels plenty moisturized. The days I co-wash with Suave I always use a conditioner after, because it doesn't moisturize enough.

I do weekly protein treatments because I have fine, highly porous hair. My hair would be slighly porous if I didn't color it, but coloring it on a monthly basis has really done a number on my hair. Protein treatments fill in the surface "holes" in your hair, and make it stronger. Protein treatments help with breakage, dullness and body. I use Eufora Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment, which has several types of protein in it. I really like it, and my hair looks great after I use it. The downside to protein treatments is they can make your hair feel dry, so you should always follow a protein treatment with a Deep Treatment.

I use DevaCurl Heaven In Hair, which I love, love, love. It makes my hair so freakin soft and bouncy. I usually leave the protein treatment on my hair for 30 minutes or so, and then follow it with an hour or so of Heaven In Hair. I always do these two on weekends, because frankly it's the only time that I have enough time to sit around with stuff in my hair for an hour and a half.

Also, about once a week I do an ACV rinse. ACV is Apple Cider Vinegar, which can be picked up at virtually any grocery store. I mix 2 tbsp ACV with 2 cups of water. I then co-wash with No Poo, pour the ACV rinse on my hair and put a conditioner on top of that. I leave it in my hair for the remainder of my shower, and once I'm done my hair is awesome. ACV helps remove any product build-up, it seals the hair follicle which in turn makes your hair shinier, and it gives your hair body. ACV can be very drying to hair, so always follow it with conditioner.

Well, that's my weekly hair routine, what's yours?

Spotlight on Curly Hair: DevaCurl

The original Curly Girl, Lorraine Massey is a best-selling author, world famous hair stylist, and has her very own line of hair products for curly girls; DevaCurls, DevaCare, and DevaColor. I’m so jealous! Today we’re going to talking about DevaCurls!

The entire DevaCurl line is sulfate-free, as curly-girlies we should all know that sulfates are the enemy. Every product in the line is designed to give you the gorgeous, soft, shiny, bouncy curls that you crave.

DevaCurls cleans, hydrates, and styles. The best part is that the entire line is easy to use, doesn’t cost an entire paycheck, and does what it’s supposed to. Nobody wants to dish out their cash for products that simply don’t live up to the hype. Unless your looking to buy jumbo-sized, every DevaCurl product is under $25!

Cleanse
There are two Deva options for cleansing your hair; No-Poo and Low-Poo. If your like me and you don’t shampoo, then obviously No-Poo is the way to go. However, I know there are curly-girlies out there who like the lather, you need Low-Poo. Low-Poo is sulfate-free, and it hydrates while cleansing.

Condition
DevaCurl has a universal conditioner called One Condition, and holy crap, I wish every hair product I owned smelled like this. One Condition is super creamy, and left my hair feeling soft and silky. If you have incredibly dehydrated hair you may want to try Heaven In Hair, DevaCurls deep-conditioner.

Style
DevaCurl has five options for styling, they can be mixed and matched to your hearts’ content. Set It Free is a spray that locks in moisture for 24-48 hours, which helps keep your curls looking beautiful from one day to the next. AnGEL is a light-weight gel that gives great hold, and is completely water-soluble. B’Leave-In is a curl booster and volumizer, which is great for fragile or fine hair. Set Up & Above is for the ultimate hold, and it still manages to moisturize your curls. And just in case you don’t like going through the entire process everyday try Mist-er Right to rejuvenate tired or frizzy curls.

Every DevaCurl product is botanically infused, and hydrates, hydrates, hydrates. Lorraine Massey says hydration is the key to frizz prevention. When our curls are parched they reach out into their surroundings, looking for moisture from anywhere. This is seen as frizz, but Massey says if your hair is properly hydrated, it won’t go searching for moisture that it doesn’t need.

Spotlight on Curly Hair: DevaCurls No-Poo Cleanser

The more and more research I do about co-washing, also known as washing your hair with conditioner, the more amazed I am, with what I find.

Enter DevaCurls, created by the original Curly Girl herself, Lorraine Massey. It’s called DevaCurl No-Poo Cleanser! This stuff smells like heaven in a bottle, leaves hair soft, and cleans your locks. I absolutely love multi-tasking products, especially those designed for curly ladies like myself.

DevaCurls No-Poo Cleanser is of course, sulfate-free. It’s scented with peppermint and Turkish rose. No-Poo leaves your hairs moisture balance in tact, while doing away with any dirt, oil, or grime. I cannot say enough about this bottle of joy, I think this may be love.

The best part about DevaCurl No-Poo Cleanser is that it won’t break the bank, it’s only $17.95 for a 12 oz. bottle.
