No-Poo = No Lather! This means that the sodium lauryl sulfate was removed from the shampoo. Years ago stylists discovered that sodium lauryl sulfate was super-harsh and that bubbles did not = clean.
DevaCurl created a botanically-infused cleanser with a specific pH level that could cleanse the scalp without stripping follicles. The result was the world’s first conditioning cleanser No-Poo Original.
The key difference is that no-poo does not lather and low-poo has a mild lather. Low Poo’s mild lather is derived from a coconut surfactant not from a foaming agent so it’s not drying.
These sulfate-free formulas will produce little to no lather. You will need to use your fingertips to work the formula on your scalp—scrub it in and scrub it out while rinsing. Your hair will also not have a squeaky-clean feeling – which is perfect for curls because it means they are moisturized.
Shop Cleansers
When stylers are applied to soaking wet curls, it helps them lock in the definition and moisture provided by the water.
This revolutionary cutting technique was designed for all natural textures and curl patterns. Hair is sculpted curl-by-curl, while dry, in its natural state.
We’re so glad you’re ready for your first DevaCut! Read our blog post on How to Prep For Your First DevaCut to get all the details on how to prepare beforehand and what to expect at the salon.
This award-winning technique was designed to add gorgeous, light-reflecting highlights to all natural textures. Pintura Highlighting offers the perfect harmony and balance to waves and curls giving brilliance and dimension to beautifully compliment your DevaCut.
Product Safety & Testing
We know that our curl community wants products that are safe and effective. That’s why all of our products comply with the safety and manufacturing regulations for cosmetics in the US, Canada and the European Union (which has some of the strictest cosmetics safety rules in the world)!
Formula Safety Testing
Curly (wavy and coily) hair is the best hair, and we want to keep it that way. Every single DevaCurl® formula has been tested to ensure that your curls get the TLC that they need. Here’s how:
Safety In Use Testing
350 Curly people. Four weeks. Happy Curls. All of our products undergo “Safety-In-Use Testing”, or SIU, by Board-Certified Dermatologist and well-known hair expert, Dr. Zoe Draelos. During SIU, Dr. Draelos assessed all of our products for the potential to have an adverse reaction under normal use conditions over a 4-week study period. The result? 350 happy curls at the end of 4 weeks. No adverse events occurred during SIU – that means no irritation, no scalp redness and no dryness. During the SIU, we also asked participants what they thought about the products and those results support the claims you see on our bottles! These tests confirm that all of our curl-friendly products are safe and that they deliver the results you have come to expect from DevaCurl®.
Hair Breakage Test: Tensile Break Strength
Did you know that curly hair has more disulfide bonds than straight hair which makes it more susceptible to breakage? We have formulated every single DevaCurl® product with this in mind and the Tensile Break Strength Test keeps us honest. It determines if our products decrease the strength of the internal hair structure or have the potential to permanently change curl pattern. Based on these tests, we know with certainty that all DevaCurl® products are curl-friendly – our products have no negative effect on the break stress or break extension of either virgin or bleached hair.
Product Allergen Test: Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing
Let’s be real – allergies aren’t fun. In the HRIPT, all of our products were applied multiple times to a patch of skin over the course of 3 weeks. Our product showed no potential for skin irritation or allergic contact sensitization. All test results were signed, sealed, and delivered by a Board-Certified Dermatologist.
Package Compatibility
Our formulas and packaging swiped right on each other and plan to live happily ever after ::swoon:: Every one of our products has to pass “package compatibility testing” before it gets on the shelf. This test confirms that there are no safety or quality issues that occur from the interaction of our formulas and their intended packaging over a period of several months at extreme conditions. The results confirmed that they’re a perfect match.

It’s in the best interest of your curls!
SLS/SLES Sulfates can strip the hair of its natural oils and since curly hair can dry out quite fast, we’ve chosen to formulate without them.
Silicones are synthetic ingredients made up of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. They are widely used in hair products to give that feeling of a moisturized slip but in reality, it’s just coating the strands and acting as a filler. Using silicones on a regular basis can cause major buildup weighing down your hair.
Lastly, parabens are a type of preservative that basically help deter bacteria and mold. While parabens allow products to last super long, they can cause curly hair to dry out and frizz.
Yes. Even though some of our products contain wheat-derived ingredients, they have been processed to remove gluten. All of our products have been lab tested and verified to be gluten-free.
We want the best for your waves, curls and coils while providing you with ultimate Curl Flexibility™ — get more details on what our new products are formulated without here.
