Reviews

Great for providing body to my curly pixie!

"I love adding this after a lightweight leave-in conditioner and then adding a mousse after this.... This combo creates great volume in my curls. I have a "longish" curly pixie, and the plumping primer really adds that bounce I like as my hair is already fine. This makes it look like I have thick hair! Love Love Love!"

Love Plumping Primer but want the 16 oz back!

"I have loved the Plumping Primer for a couple of years now. I see several other customers asking to bring back the 16oz bottle. I absolutely agree. . . . . I use a lot of this product and also would love the 16oz to come back. The website says out of stock but I see other products in the 16 oz bottle. Why not bring it back? Please. . . please. . . please!"

Bring back the 16oz

"Why did you get rid of the 16oz size?! My hair isn’t the same without this but I cannot justify paying $24 for a week’s worth of product. :("

— Jolee (3/5)

Amazing curl accentuater!

"This product is amazing. I get compliments on my curls all the time. They hold shape, they don't frizz and they bounce when I use this. It is not heavy nor does it crust up like other products. I am so disappointed I can no longer find the large pump bottles!!!!"

— Kelly (5/5)

Buyer Beware

"This company is terrible. Do not buy from here. I ordered my products almost three weeks ago and it says that they have not yet shipped. I have called customer service multiple times only to be put on hold each time fir 5+ minutes and then hung up on by a recording that said “ please call back during normal business hours” (they were all during normal business hours. I submitted a written request through their online platform only to get no response. Money down the drain."

16oz please restock

"Please Bring back the 16oz! I will buy any old stock if you have any available! I use this as my first layer currently finding all the small bottles and stocking up."

— Kimberly P. (5/5)

Super Happy!!

"This is a great product! It complements a curl gloss I love really well. It is not heavy, crunchy, or stiff. My curls even looked great after sleeping on them!!"

— Nicola M. (5/5)

Fantastic products!

"I have very long fine loose curls with some tighter curls. I had been struggling for a long time in the southern humid environment with my hair-thats also compatible with well water. Other brands I have tried (there were a lot) either made my hair very dry or oily. In the humid air it always ended up ultra frizzy and drab looking. I A friend with similar hair mentioned she uses Deva Curls and recommended it to me. I am a convert. Love the product. I generally wash my hair 2x week and this product holds my curls, holds the moisture and doesn't weigh down the hair which I often felt other did. It also rinsed very well and left no residue. Highly recommended."

Love it - miss the 16 oz bottle

"I love this product! I cannot style my hair without it - it gives my curls the hydration they need and helps keep its shape. I am missing the 16 oz bottle with the pump - I use those more like a gel so the 5 oz just isn’t enough."

— Jennifer (5/5)
