When it comes to hair care, every curlfriend knows the pain of looking for the perfect cleanser and conditioner for curly hair. Wash day can be a nightmare if you’ve spent your life fighting with products that just aren’t made with curls in mind: and we know, a lot of them aren’t. When’s the last time a straight-haired friend offered to let you borrow some shampoo, only for you to wince when you thought of the mess your curls would be afterwards?
Curly hair care products are essential to keep curls in the best possible shape. That’s why we created our Original line of products specifically for curls, with the moisture, frizz control, and ingredients that your curls will thank you for.
Like it says in the name, the Original line was among the first wash day products made specifically for curlies. The Original line is best suited for hair types 3A, 3B, and 3C, or standard “curly” hair. (If a friend of yours has ever tried to stick a finger through a ringlet, chances are you have curly hair, but check out our Curl Quiz if you want to double check.)
Our hair products for curly hair are all about leaving out harsh ingredients to focus on the stuff you really need; that’s why the Original line is formulated without SLS/SLES sulfates, silicones or parabens as ingredients. No suds means no hair-stripping chemicals that leave your curls begging for more moisture. Instead, our cleanser and conditioner work with your curls to leave them healthy-looking, hydrated, and soft.
So with all the stuff we’ve taken out, what’s left?
Well No-Poo Original, our curly hair cleanser, is full of ingredients meant to give your curls the life and shine they deserve. Formulated with grapeseed oil and peppermint oil, it locks in essential moisture and helps stimulate your senses. While it might not have the lather you’re expecting if you grew up with traditional shampoo, No-Poo Original is a gentle clean that leaves your curls fresh, not stripped of essential oils. When you alternate using No-Poo Original with Buildup Buster, you can also help keep your curls clean and light without the product and hard water buildup that can weigh them down.
When it comes to moisture, One Condition Original is a curly hair must-have. Curly hair is quick to snarl and frizz without proper moisture, so conditioning is important, and should be done even more frequently than washing. With olive oil to help moisturize, One Condition Original is great for providing dry curls with the essential moisture they need.
Though keeping your curls clean and moisturized is a feat in and of itself, you’re also going to want to add your own personal style to your hair. That’s where Styling Cream comes in. After you’ve washed and conditioned, you can apply Styling Cream, also specially made with curls in mind, to your wet hair to help your curls look defined and soft. Formulated with jojoba oil and tapioca starch, it also helps control the frizz you’d rather live without.
We think the Original line is amazing but don’t just take our word for it! Plus, where would we be without the stylists who teach us how to use these products? A curly hair kit is nothing without a few bonus life hacks that add an extra oomph to No-Poo Original and One Condition Original.
“Make sure you apply No-Poo Original directly to your scalp, add more water, and really scrub it in. Do the same scrubbing motion when rinsing to thoroughly cleanse.”
Telma, Devachan Senior Stylist
“Mix a small amount of One Condition Original with water in a spray bottle and pop it in your bag for on-the-go moisture and frizz control.”
Dominique, Devachan Stylist
At the end of the day, it’s all about helping you care for your curls. We made these products specifically so curlies wouldn’t have to struggle with meeting the unique needs of their hair type, and can now revel in their soft, touchable curls!
