Deva curl is not just a product to put in your hair its a lifestyle. The book came out 10 years ago and has revolutionized the way that we care for curly hair. It is a set of rules that teaches you how to care and embrace for your curly hair.
- Never wash your hair with shampoos containing sulfate or parabens. Instead you should cleanse your hair with a “co-wash” this is much more gentle on your hair then the stripping that is caused from traditional shampoos.
- When you do co-wash your hair you must finish with cold water. The cold water allows your hair to lock in the moisture.
- Do not dry your hair with a terry cloth towel. You should instead use a microfiber towel or t-shirt. This cuts down on the frizz created with a terry cloth towel.
- Always sleep on a satin pillow case. When you sleep with a cotton pillowcase your hair is being pulled and is vulnerable to breakage.
The author of the book has also introduced the devacut. This specific haircut is designed for only curly hair. Instead of cutting your hair all the same length or wet, the devacut cuts each individual curl. this allows a more voluminous look. She now has many salons and stylist travel from all over the world to be trained in this hair cutting technique.
Some curly hair gals swear by the LOC method. This is a system that tells you what order to apply to your curly hair. LOC stands for Leave in, oil and cream. It is used to provide maximum hydration to your hair.
