Devacurl Buildup Buster Hair Cleanser, 8oz

I admit I was skeptical to try this. I read some mixed reviews about it drying out the hair after use. I needed to try something as my hair has been acting strange lately. The curl pattern was getting tighter, stringy looking and I had build up on my hair from experimenting with some Ouidad & Wetline hair gel products. I kept reading in the good reviews that it really revitalized curls and made them light and bouncy again so decided to order it. I dispensed the product directly against my scalp as they instruct and used enough to bring the liquid level down to right above the top of the label if that makes sense. I used my fingertips to massage it in. It has a thick gel like consistency and it lathers slightly. The smell is good and not too strong. After massaging it into my scalp I used my wetbrush to gently comb through the end of my hair and up to my scalp to make sure the product was worked though and my hair was detangled. I followed with my Deva Curl One Condition which I left on until the end of my shower. Sure enough, my curls were revitalized, clumped in bigger curls like before, the tightness was gone and my hair was very soft and light feeling. I did not experience any of the dryness that others mentioned in their reviews. I plan to use this about every two weeks or more if I feel my hair needs it sooner.

My second time using this wash and it completely stripped my hair. My hair was so rough after washing, didn't recover after deep conditioning. While detangling, my ends started to break off. It looked to be about 2 months worth of shedded hair lost, when I just washed my hair 1 week ago. Definitely will not be buying from Devacurl again.

I have mostly wavy hair that gets definite curl when I use a diffuser. Because of that, I need to keep my hair clear of as much product as possible but I hate shampooing more than once or twice a week because I want to keep all the moisture that I can. This was a great alternative to "reset" my hair every 2-3 weeks. It definitely brings the curl back by clearing away any heavy product. It also smells fantastic, I love walking around the day that I use it and enjoying the scent. Definitely worth the purchase.

I'm sorry I have to say this- but it actually PUT buildup in my hair that I can't get out. I rinsed and rinsed and rinsed my hair again, and even now there is STILL sticky product coating my hair strands making it greasy and clumpy. When I touch my hair, my fingers are sticky. It's like I can't get this stuff off for the life of me. I bought it and had a friend bring it to me because of the hard water in south east asia, and now I'm afraid I won't find another product here to be able to undo the huge mess this product made.

This was so soothing on my scalp. I struggle with a dry itchy scalp and this has helped immensely. The nozzle helps to get through my thick 3a/3b hair and I noticed an immediate difference in my hair afterwards. It almost has a cooling sensation that makes your hair feel refreshed and clean. It was like an ACV rinse without the nasty smell lol. It does give a deep clean but my hair didn't feel stripped or overly dry so it seems to work really well for me!

I have been a religious follower of the curly girl method upon discovering it on reddit and it has been a god send to my curls making me love them again. I recently moved to an area with significantly harder water than where I was previously living and it seemed like all hope had been lost. Then I read about this buildup buster and decided to try it out.To wash:- I wash my hair every other day or just about, sometimes I will push it to three days.- Shampoo - SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo- Conditioner - SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditionerabout once a week:- DevaCurl Buildup Buster in place of shampooand on another day of the week- Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner and leave it in for 15 minutes before rising it outTo style:- Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner about a dime size on damp hair- Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie- Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Hold & Shine Daily Moisture Mistif I wash my hair late at night I will plop it in an old tee shirt for the night and that is it. My hair has literally never had more life and moisture in it. It feels so unbelievably soft. Big fan of this build up buster and will be repurchasing in the future.

Since I began using all Deva products, my curls have never looked better. However, those of us in the silver sisterhood have an additional issue... product buildup can give silver or white hair a yellowish tinge. And since my curls can look great for four days between cleansings with nothing but a water spritz and a bit of gel, even an occasional use of non-Deva purple shampoo wasn't fixing the yellow caused by buildup. I was sceptical, I have no idea what "micellar" is, but Buildup Buster works! A weekly use, followed by one of the Deva treatment products has my silver sparkling and my hair isn't dry at all.

Update 8/19/18:Due to the cost of this product, I wasn’t willing to allow it just one application.Yesterday, I used it again, but instead of applying deep conditioner and rinsing it out immediately, I used the same deep conditioner for 20 minutes. Problem solved. I changed my rating from 1 star.This product was horrible for my hair. Made it feel like straw even after applying a deep conditioner. I never get tangles combing out my hair. After applying this product and conditioner, I couldn't get my wide-tooth comb through my hair. This is the first time my hair felt like straw while it was still wet. I listened to a lot of reviews on YouTube before I purchased this product. It seems to work well for black women but it didn't work for this white woman. Since there wasn't a seal over the opening, I have my doubts that this product is authentic.

Not that impressed to be honest thought my curly girls daughter was suffering from build up but no change to hair after using this, I found just washing with sulfate shampoo (like a first wash) was better for build up removal

Brilliant product that works as a gentle clarying treatment! After rinsing it off, you feel your hair has been thoroughly cleansed but without feeling it stripped off completely. My hair got its bounce back!

Great for removing the build up of creams and gels I use to control my naturally curly hair.

Leaves hair feeling really clean, deals superbly with buildup

Realmente limpia en profundidad, es muy agradable porque tiene textura de sérum pero hace espuma y arrastra toda la suciedad, además huele muy bien. El único defecto es que vale carisimo. Lo compre para probarlo pero no compensa el precio.
