Seems to work well, I find the fragrance too strong
Review by Amberlee G. on 3 Jul 2023 review stating Seems to work well, I find the fragrance too strong
Works well, I also got the hypoallergenic non-fragranced no-poo and conditioner, and I much prefer the no fragrance to the strength of this fragrance, although I'm sure that's a personal preference.

Blind eye purchase
Review by MusMuva on 27 Jun 2023 review stating Blind eye purchase
I went to ulta on a search for a really good clarifying shampoo (I have mielle’s clarifying but wanted something new) honestly deva curl was my last choice but I got it due to my intuition. Listen ! After 3 weeks of braids with a horrible product buildup. I washed my hair twice with the shampoo my scalp looks so clean and new I’m very pleased with how it cleansed my scalp and then the definition of my waves/curls!!! I’m sold 🩵

Love this product
Review by Lynn M. on 29 May 2023 review stating Love this product
My hairdresser recommended this shampoo to use every month. The top of my head can appear a little greasy which was bothering me. It really helps.
