Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! For more on my thoughts about the Devacurl scandal and for a list of all the products I mentioned, head to the blog post here: www.getglammedup.co/2020/02/video-devacurl-dupes-cheaper.html
What product was your favorite from Devacurl? I will try my best to provide you with in alternative and will get back to everyone!
Thank you I'll check it out as I have sample packets of Deva Curl Conditioner that I very occasionally use but afraid to now!
Harmon Face Values has an entire line that's a dupe of Devacurl. You can't get it online though, you have to go to the actual store (I think it's called Lovely Curls). They also have a dupe of the B'Leave-In. Sally Beauty Supply also came out with a line that's a dupe of Devacurl.
Who else couldn't afford Devacurl but still here for dupes 🙋🏽♀️
I feel for those who have been damaged, but I'm relieved I couldn't use them.
Me! I'm glad I'm so broke I was never able to afford them! Dupes for me it is!
🙋🏾♀️
I used them until I couldn’t anymore. Now the dupes are doing well for me now. I knew something was up when I would go to the beauty supply store and see a new line of products. The sign below the products said “Comparable to Deva curl original line”. Until now, I couldn’t figure out why that sign was worded that way but now I get it.
Always wanted to try but was too cheap. I didn’t want to spend the money if it didn’t work. Guess that was the curl gods guiding me away!
Shea Moisture also has their MANUKA HONEY & YOGURT HYDRATE + REPAIR PROTEIN-STRONG TREATMENT. I find that one to be like the deep sea repair.
Yosani Brewer have you tried the shampoo and conditioner from that line? I have yet to try those. I really liked the treatment as well
@@olivelime9493 Omg they are amazing!!! I've been using them for a few months when you use the shampoo work it in for a couple a minutes to give it time to work its magic it leaves my hair soo soft and moisturized that I almost dont need a conditioner after words its crazy.. I always shampoo twice in a row and the second time around makes it even better... I can honestly say its one of my all time favorite lines if not my favorite especially when my hair is craving a little more strength and protein.. And they have awesome ingredients so you don't have to worry about your hair falling out unlike toxic Deva Curl ingredients... I realized shea moisture was a good brand when I accidently sprayed the leave in conditioner in my eyes and was anticipating having to go run and flush my eyes out before I went blind but I just simply wiped my face and kept it moving then I realized wow they really must not use toxic chemicals in their products because under normal circumstances I would have messed my eyes up.. Im sure we've all been there were you accidently get soap or product in your eye and it feels like your eye balls are gonna melt away.. I hope Sheamoisture always sticks to using natural ingredients because I love their products my holy grail when all else fails and mind you I'm a recovering product junkie in remission.. 🤣🤣 And I also appreciate the fact that they usually score green with the Think App so I always feel safe using it on my children also.. I forgave Sheamoisture for that whole AD debacle only because their products work and are clean for the most part and they do support other businesses they made a mistake and learned DO NOT P*** off your core audience who built you up.. We all make mistakes move on is my motto.
Tray wow that made me excited to try, I’ll will be buying the shampoo soon. I currently use the Virgin coconut oil conditioner from them. I shampoo twice as well. I’ve had that problem where shampoos would dry my hair out even more on the 2nd wash. Some of the brands I’ve used have some good products while the rest of there line is full of silicone and sulfates, such as Aunt Jackie. I use their flaxseed gel and I wanted to try more from their line, but I found out that most of their products have silicones in it. I was luckily enough to be using one of the only products of theirs that was clean. I’m not on the kNow with the Shea moisture Ad thing, what happened?
@@Deklectic Want to try now thanks! The shampooing twice though no, always felt like it was a marketing gimmick from product companies anxious for us to use up products faster..
@@olivelime9493
I have only tried the treatment.
I LOOOOOVE this! I’ve been asking everyone for alternatives because I liked DevaCurl as well and now I’m scared to use them (I have had excessive shedding)
Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Cantu is so underrated and I have not seen anyone talk about this brand. It's all I use and it has done wonders for my curls.
Yeah I almost included their Curl Activator cream as an alternative to super cream but didn’t because it didn’t have the same ingredients. But I like it!
I have checked Cantu’s ingredients and they’re not curly girl approved
They have alcohol in their conditioner (deep)
They are crap hun!you should look into curls shea moisture hairinfinity .Check Bianca Rene she got excellent recommendations
Nobody talks about it? So offence since there are thousands of videos from African Americans talking about it, since the product was created for African American curly hair!
Another dupe for the build up buster: Shea Moisture activated charcoal scalp refresher! It does a really good job preparing the scalp for wash day
Meera Gupta it’s the best
Activated charcoal doesn’t have any study that confirms the properties people claim it has, that alone makes me doubt the Brand
Sally’s has a line called All About The Curls. It rivals Deva Curl and my mom says it’s better. It’s meant to be a DevaCurl dupe, the packaging is similar.
I’m so glad to see you posted this. I was heartbroken when the DC news broke. I’d only just started using No Poo, One Condition and light gel for about a month this time around. The last time was back in 2010-11. Fortunately, I only used it about 8 times and only got scalp itch. My hair looked great, but I have fine, thin hair, and can’t take a chance on losing what I have. ❤️
Julie Wall tell me about it.
This is the best video I have found on CZcams about the DevaCurl issue!!! I have desperately been looking for an alternative to my favorite DevaCurl products. Thank you so much for this video.
I love, love, love your channel. You seem so genuine. I appreciate all of your advice! I too loved Devacurl and now am having a difficult time finding alternatives. When I look back, I was having issues and never in a million years would have tracked it back to DC. :(
B’Leave In was my all time favorite product from Devacurl. I replaced it with Kinky Curly Knot Today. These two products have nothing in common but my end results are very similar.
I've never used deva curl, but this video is pretty informative for the alternatives. I'm currently on the hunt for some new stuff to try for my hair and thanks to you I've now got a nice list of products to look into, so thank you!
Omg I love you so much for doing this video!!!!! For the last week I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out what I should replace deva with. Thank you thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you for making this video! I've been looking for alternatives since I heard about the side effects.
OMG YOU ARE AN ANGEL THIS VIDEO WAS MUCH NEEDED, GIRL!!!
I’m old enough to remember using the original Dippity Do! So I tried the Girls with Curls for fun and nostalgia. Also used the Curl Talk mousse for root lift. So pleased with the results! I’ve used Ouidad for two years on my type 3b high porosity curls and these products really impressed. Thanks for the reviews!
I so appreciate your videos especially for how informative they are. I understand they took a lot of work and research on your part and that is why appreciate what you do. 🤗
Thanks so much Liv! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video. This was so helpful since I’m not us I’m going DevaCurl anymore and trying to find products that work just as well for my hair has been difficult and expensive.
This is the most helpful video on devacurl alternatives that work!! Thanks so much for this!!
Your hair is everything! Thanks for this video!! I just got a bunch of new products but I’m looking to get a bunch of new things to try cause a girl is a skincare, haircare and nail stuff addict.
Thank you for all the time & effort you put in to making this video!
Thank u for all the info on ur video! I wanted to mention I use the AG hair care Recoil cream as a "dupe" for the b-leave in. I also use it as a refresh on third day hair with a little bit of the dippity doo gel to finish.
I have been waiting for a video like this! Thank you so, so much!
Hi Gena! Thank you so much for this video. I had been having issues for about 6 months and it never occurred to me that it could be Deva Curl until recently. I had an itchy scalp, scabs from burns that the products were causing and hair loss. I feel so stupid that I didn't think it was from product. Anyway, I'm ready to try some new stuff. Thanks so much.
I’m so sorry you were experiencing that. 💗
after I stopped using DevaCurl, I thought to myself "now what am I going to do now that DevaCurl is DevaDamage? What products am I gonna buy now??" But after watching this video and other videos, it's really helped me a lot, DevaCurl ISN'T the only sulfate, paraben, silicone-free brand on the market, there's many more! Thx sm Gena! Love ya! 💗💗
I wish you would’ve posted this sooner! I just threw all my products out and got all Shea moisture products lol. But it’s okay because now I can buy these when I run out 💕
Madison Genny love love love Shea moisture. Fave brand. You won’t regret.
This was my first time seeing you, I love the info you gathered! Thanks so much for all of your research:) I love the set it free from deva. I use it constantly as a refresh and on wash day. Do you know of a good dupe for that product?
Great video, thank you! I just discovered your channel and am really excited to be here! I have very fine, high porosity, low density hair. This is going to be great! I've recently jumped on the Treluxe wagon and their Hi! Definition gel is awesome! Don't know if you've ever tried that brand but it's a great gel! I also enjoy ther ReFlex serum, awesome stuff!
Great video, very helpful. I also like Bounce Curl, Kinky Curly and The Mane Choice. I believe these are pretty “clean” products. 😊
Wow loved this video! Thank you so much for these great alternatives. ❣️
Another line that works really, really well for me and is much more affordable than Deva is Zotos All About Curls line. My mother in law gave me the little travel size sampler pack and I fell in love with the line. I grabbed full size bottles after that at Sally's Beauty Supply. Love the Zoto's line.
I’ve heard about those! They look to be exact dupes but I’ve never tried them.
YESSSS
Henkel owns both Zotos and DevaCurl. When i compared a few products ingredients, they seemed very different to me.
@@jera6243 do you think its bad to use zotos right now then?
@@haylicharron I suspect the issue is whatever was done to make the brand look like a solid product to Henkel to be honest. I have product that is 11 months old and stuff that's brand new to compare to each other. The gel I have from last year is disintegrating.
You are quickly becoming one I turn to for everything curly and beauty you look good all natural and va va voom
Great suggestions. I LOVE the Kinky Moves curl cream from NYM and find it to be a great alternative to DevaCurl Wave Maker. Any dupes for DevaCurl Mist-er right or Set it Free?
Thanks for letting us know what else we can use
Do you know of a good dupe for the wash day wonder detangler. It has saved my hair and made detangling so much earlier.
Hi there - thanks so much for this video! Do you have any ideas for the Set it Free Moisture Lock spray? I used that as a refresher and it was my fave product. Thanks!
Gena, I used to use Deva Curl Set it Free styling lotions for 2nd or 3rd day curls. Wondered if you 've ever used it?
Is there a good alternative to the Devafresh curl refresher?
Thank you for this video it’s a huge help! I’m wondering if you have a dupe for their refresh spray. It’s the only thing that I’ve found that refreshes my curls without having to wet it. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for this video! I was wondering if you had any thoughts on dupes for the Set it Free spray?
Thanks for this! I’ve watched you for a while, we have similar curl pattern. I also love your make up videos. I never used deva curl, but Maui moisture shampoo and conditioner has caused a big hair clumps loss for me and my daughter.
Minna Uyeda I’m so sorry! It works great for me, and I recommend it all the time. 😔
Maui moisture had pieces of my hair that hasn’t been shampooed
I'm going for a cut this week. I'll start with a clarifying shampoo and a hair mask. I'll do the praying hands and put a curl cream and gel on really wet hair. I know it'll take a while. My hair looks angry right now 😄
Anything else I should be doing?
If you live near a Harmon Face Values or Bed, Bath, and Beyond, they have their own generic brand of Devacurl, which includes B-leave in! I'd love to see a video comparing Deva to that. :)
Nikki Kim whats the brand called ?
@@actuallyashley2309 Lovely Curls!
Amazing thank you!!! Is there a dupe for their Mist-er right? I was obsessed w that refresher and still am but want to stop using it. A dupe would be amazing.
What can I substitute for the devacurl set it free setting spray?
This was super helpful! Its the master guide I was needing
Hi I dont do Deva curl no more. Shea moisture line is weighing hair down. Help
I'm just starting to watch videos to help with my curly hair. If the deva curl isn't good what ingredients in it are not good? And since its not goid why would I want one that has comparative ingredients list? Sorry for all the questions I'm very new
Can you recommend a wave gel alternative for someone who is sensitive to protein? Currently I use ouai curl jelly for styling but I love trying new products that work for wavy hair
Hi! A little late to the party! I recently FINALLY started following the Curly Girl Method and I had no idea of the Devacurl scandal before I started buying a few of their products. Does anybody happen to know a good replacement for the Wash Day Wonder (the pre-cleansing slip detangler that you apply before shampooing)? I can't seem to find any substitutes for that particular product.
Can you also tell us about some good organic products to be used for hair etc as the alternative of chemical ones...
What is another dupe for the deva curl melt into moisture that’s doesn’t have a lot of fragrance?
Need more products with no heaviness. I am Hispanic and type 3 curl. Curls are not defined with what I switched too.. any suggestions. ?
is there a dupe for the high shine multi benefit oil? that stuff was always too expensive for me
Does anyone know of any other dupes for the light defining gel?
Does anybody use the TGIN line? I use the shampoo and so far no issues but reading about devacurl I'm a little worried and wanted to know if anybody has had any issues or not
Thanks in advance
Do you have a alternative for the One Condition Delight?
Treluxe has a serum that I would consider close to the b'leave in. I'm not sure if it's close in ingredients but definitely in texture and how they both perform without the nasty chemicals
for stylers I switched to the Natural line Kinky Curly Knot today leave in Cond. and Curling Custard and my hair LOVES them. I can understand all the ingredients and my hair is Softer, More Shiny and curlier!! Their shampoo is a clarifier.. I havent tried it yet
It would be super helpful to have the dupe products listed or if you added a caption in when presenting a product in the video. The Amika product is it the curl cream or gel that you are recommending?
I use low Poo delight and condition. Then the arc gel. It’s been amazing for my curls. I’ve just heard about the issues with deva curl. I’ve been using them for a year no issues.
my favorite gels for my curls are either the sheamoisture coconut hibiscus gel or the moptops curling custard
a good gel is the curl keeper gel, i dont know if its a dupe for the ultra defining gel, but i found it gives similar results and doesn't dry out my hair as much, and my hair is also a higher porosity!!!
Do you have any dupe suggestions for heaven in hair?
Does anybody have dupes for Arc Angel?
(Not eco styler) I need a to finish with a firm hold gel for my W&Gs to last, but I don’t live in a humid environment so the Ouidad dupe Gena mentioned won’t be necessary.
I’m desperate to find a dupe for arc angel. I know you said ouidad but please let me know of any others. I am desperate!!
I actually have experienced something, it wasn't necessarily "damage", it was more like tons and tons of hair loss, i've actually had some almost bald spots in my hair and i'm only 15. It hurts to say that from my experience I officially stopped using Devacurl and it actually took me a WHILE to stop using DevaCurl because I really wanted curls and it didn't even matter much if I had less hair, all I wanted was curls, and that's SUPER unhealthy. I also noticed that my scalp started itching a lotttt. I didn't know what it was exactly but i had a HUGE feeling it was DevaCurl. Luckily, I have been taking hair vitamins since I think the ends of February and I have noticed more hair growth, thank God! I've been doing daily scalp massages and taking hair growth vitamins and I have fuller hair now! There still are some spots that are thinning and I still have some bald-ish spots, but I'm trying my best to take a bit more care of my hair! I wish everyone the best of luck in their healthy hair journey! 💗
Hello. Which vitamins have you been taking?
Any dupe suggestions for the Super Stretch?
What’s a dupe for b leave in?????🥺🥺🥺 thank you in advance
Thank you for not being dramatic!
wow thanks for this video, I was already starting to get overwhelmed at the idea of having to replace my DevaCurl products. Im wondering if you have a dupe for the frizz defying foam from DevaCurl ?
Olivia Pearl design essentials and Creme of nature have styling foams.
Anyone else like the Giovanni hair line and Innersense I Hold Gel? Those are the ones I recently switched to with success!
YooToobgurl86 I live the Giovanni weightless leave in, la strong hold gel.
@@minnauyeda8002 thanks for your input! I will keep my eye out for those ones 👍🏽
I love Innersense but have a difficult time affording the line. I'd like to see an Innersense dupe video.
I have 2c waves that does look curly when it’s diffused
Anyone have a good dupe for the frizz-free volumizing foam?
What about the DevaCurl volumizing foam dupe??
Do you know a dupe for the low poo?
Anything available in canada?
I don’t know if anyone here follows/followed the Curlygirl method, but you can go to curlscan.com if you need more help finding new products.
I never ended up using Deva Curl because of the price. Once I got an ad from Ulta that it was on sale, the tea had started to spill so I didn’t buy it. I have been using Maui’s curl creme and Miss Jessie’s Jelly Soft Curls for about 7 months now. I can use just the gel in more humid places and my hair looks great but have to use the creme with the gel where I live now, which is dry to me. There is some humidity in the air here but not 100% like where I lived most of my life and still visit. Some say they don’t like it but I’ve tried other creams and gels, even the Not Your Mother’s, and don’t like them. Not Your Mother’s used to have a curl creme that I liked but they discontinued it and I don’t like the new Curl Talk one. :/ I have 2B/2C hair. If I switch my products then I end up with 2B frizz
so ayesha in her devacurl video mentioned the app, think dirty and how the curl Dr recommended looking up Devacurl on there. i have now been using this to try and find options that are better for me since Devacurl is listed pretty high on their scale of "dirty" products. Not your mothers is up there too, which i was surprised to find out. Shea moisture is one of the few i found that was real low.
Innersense is also low on Think Dirty. I want to try put innersense but my immediate replacement for not your mothers after seeing their rating was sheamoisture.
Creme of Nature is also a good line as well and very reasonably priced.
Cream of nature isn’t cgm like people thinks it is
@@tannergrinzel1835 what makes it not Curly girl approved?
@@seerchannah102 it has silicone
how do I know if my hair likes protein???????
Is there an alternative that you recommend to the ouidad gel? I try to stay away from hydrolyzed wheat protein since I have a wheat allergy
Stephanie Lalley I was going to ask about this because I have celiac but noticed what I had been using also has it in it. I started having effects again last June and that was right before I started using it, if I recall. I hope it’s not causing an issue 😳 I’ve heard controversial comments on using it vs not using it in beauty products with celiac (which I know is not an allergy).
Is Jessicurl any good?
Cream of Nature @ Sally’s is my go to for natural hair. A great line that more women should look into.
Do you know a dupe for Set it Free?
B'Leave In alternative...have you tried Curl Keeper Original?
I’m in need of something to replace the decadence no-poo and conditioner. I stopped using it this weekend and all the products I’ve tried/bought so far are just leaving my hair straw like. I need something as heavy/full of conditioner as the decadence line was. Help?
Check out the channel mad curls they have reviews on literally every curly hair product
Never had a problem with Deva, but I switch brands frequently and wash my hair with suds. When you have high porosity hair you cannot wash with something like No Poo and nothing else. A lot of this whole issue was due to user error and ignorance, possible allergy as well, because no one has ever mentioned any particular ingredient or ingredients that were the supposed “culprits.” Their products worked too well and people couldn’t stop using them. It even says in the CGM book to switch off products and brands.
Paul Mitchell ultimate wave is a good dupe for Devacurl wave maker
Any luck on the leave in or heaven in hair
Thank you for providing such an informative channel! I'm trying to find an alternative to DevaCurls high shine multi benefit oil. Do you know of one?
Hi Gena, I forgot to mention that I am looking for vegan and cruelty free products.
Im going to try that Carol's daughter product. Here are some more suggestions....Yesto carrots conditioner = dupe for one condition, Unkle funkys daughter curly magic = Dupe for b'leave in, mielle organics babassu and mint = dupe for heaven in hair, organix coconut curls mousse = dupe for frizz free volumizing foam
Why don’t you have volume bouncy pretty curls ?
I don't understand how polyquats are curly girl friendly! I can not stand them in my hair and when I have used products that contain them, I have to wash my hair 3 times to get them out. I have sworn them off!
Thank you so much great help !!!
What about the Deva Curl hairspray? I’m so missing that right now- haven’t found a replacement yet.
Ouidad has a nice hairspray and one that I have fallen in love with is an alcohol free spray; it's the Sexy hair line called healthy sexy hair Pure Addiction. I can't be without it! I buy it at Ulta.
Bouncecurl!
I think tresemme has a hair spray.
Have you tried the new Kristin Ess curl line at Target? Any thoughts?
I haven’t! I’ll check it out
I love the redken curvaceous conditioner as a leave in. It leaves my hair like silk and curls in big natural spirals.
Thanks for the info. Do you have frizzy hair?
Can you please try out and review "the curl company"-products, if you can get your hands on it in the U.S., thanks:)
