To start, I am a long time fan of the Deva Curl line. These products not only are gentle on my curls, but they also make my hair look like I just stepped out of a salon every day instead of like I stuck a fork in an electric socket. This product line makes my hair low maintanece and looking amazing every time I style my curls.That being said, I can't begin to say how happy I was when I saw they came out with a dry 'no-poo.' As low maintenance as my hair is, any curly girl that goes to the gym or does any sort of physical activities knows that sweat and curls don't always have an ideal mix. The curls by my forehead become limp and stringy from sweat, and unless I shower right after a workout, your curls tend to not look their best all day.
I started working out once a day on average, and I can only wash my hair so many times a week. (I try not to was my hair too many times during the week, as I found my curls in better condition when I only wash them 1-2 times a week) In the few days that I had the No-Poo Quick cleanser, I can happily report that I can have my Zumba class and my pilates without worrying about limp curls afterwards. After each workout, I just spray the No-Poo Quick Cleanser directly on my scalp, and Voila, I get the curls that I have right after my hair dries after a wash and style.
It's also great to use before going out at night, just as a quick refresher to give your curls a little lift and bounce at the end of the day. It cuts my time getting ready for date night in half. Before I first sprayed my roots with water and then gave them a lift with pins and then sprayed hair gel to get the bounce and lift back. Now just a few short sprays with this and I'm good to go.
Also, I want to address the difference between this dry "no-poo" and other dry shampoos. I tried using a several dry shampoos when trying to find solutions to the hair washing from the drugstore before, but they were way too harsh on my hair. My scalp felt dry and itchy, and my curls felt stiff and had an almost crispy like texture. One brand even left my scalp sticky and gross, it was awful. My hair had a stale smell to it until I had to do a washing. With the No-Poo Quick cleanser, it does remove the buildup of oils in your hair the same way a dry shampoo does, but in addition, it also moisturizes your scalp as well. One of the key ingredients in the No-Poo Quick Cleanser that no other dry shampoo (at least the ones I tried) is Macadamia Nut Oil, which has amazing moisturizing properties. This made all the difference for my poor thirsty curls that just can't handle the harshness of the oil absorbing dry shampoos suited better for those with straight hair. While the No-Poo Quick cleanser refreshes and cleans the scalp like the rest of the dry shampoos, it also moisturizes the curls and adds texture and volume without the stiff stickiness that other dry shampoos do.
For curly girls, this is definitely the must have product for dry shampoo experience. It's also made without any sulfate or harsh chemicals, which is another reason it's so gentle on the hair. It's definitely worth trying.
