I really do like this cleanser. My hair loves it this winter (in the summer, it was too much for my hair, and left it a bit heavy). I happen to love the scent..sort of lemon with rose. Will be repurchasing.

I brought this as I use the one conditioner to co-wash and that is awesome!. Well this cleanser cleans really well, but you should only use a little on your finger tips and massage on your scalp I've learned, otherwise you will have dry kind of stripped hair.. It's great but don't use as you would a normal shampoo. It a keeper for me

TYPE 3C... Just tried for the first time LOVE IT!! I've been using Devacurl OneC and SetItFree for 1 year and those are the best products hands down for wash n gos (only style I wear). It has a thick creamy consistency with a citrus perfumey smell. I applied and let sit for about 5 min...my hair was completely detangled! Yes, you can detangle with this "shampoo"!!! After rinsing my hair felt moisturized and was incredibly shiny. It's pricey but for me the Deva system works. Will continue to purchase as long as my results are consistent.

I have very fine curls and always avoided "cream" products as I was afraid they would weigh my hair down. I, like most people, believed shampoo needs to foam up to really clean the hair. WAY WRONG. I have been using No-Poo for about 3 years now and my hair has never looked better. My curls are smooth with tons of vibrance and shine. They bounce more and are so soft. I even started taking a small bottle with me to the salon when I got my hair cut. After getting my hair washed at the salon, I would notice the texture would me messed up for days. My curls would feel dry and frizzy and my ringlets wouldn't form properly. I use all of the DevaCurl products now and I'll never switch to anything else.

love the Deva system - the No-Poo is nice because it gets rid of the product still in your hair plus leaves your hair soft (before conditioning). **I only use it about twice a week.

Initially, I felt threatened by the cutesy "Poo" print glaring back at me from the label of a bottle I considered lathering all over my head. Then again this product did take a dump on my hair after about a month. I now judge books by their cover. This product was definitely too strong alone, but bearable as a clarifying shampoo with half parts conditioner. Even then, I can only use it once biweekly at most. It's not what I'm looking for as a clarifying shamp, because my hair needs 3 times the product to style so it stays frizz-free & defined after using this super sparingly...poo.

At first I didn't really care for this product. Yes it is a good cleanser with an extra boost of moisture, but its not that great of a detangler so for the price, I know I can find something cheaper. But I must give credit where it's due. This no-poo restored my hair after I colored it. The color process left my hair stripped even after I washed, conditioned and oiled. Couple days later I pulled this out from under the sink and instantly felt my hair returning to its natural state. I personally wouldn't use this all the time but for hair emergencies I know this will get the job done.

a waste of money in my opinion. spent close to $100.00 for the "whole set" . i was so excited to use it on my bi racial daughters dry, frizzy, curls but it did nothing for her hair. her hair frizzed out in about an hours time and looked so dry. i was deeply disappointed.

Gentle, refreshing, detangling, cleansing. My hair is very dry, so it's going to take a while before I could use this without One Condition (if ever), but this is, by far, the most detangling, de-knotting cleanser I've used, and it leaves my hair less dry feeling than some other cleansing conditioners. No-Poo and Curl Junkie Daily Fix are both great for my hair. Daily Fix is better if my scalp seems oily, and No-Poo is the most gentle and hydrating.

I am newly natural. This is my second time using this shampoo and I am definitely not pleased. I got the conditioner BC I like how it cleaned my hair but it left my hair way to dry. So I bought the deva one condition in hopes of improving my Deva Curl experience. However in the shower I washed my hair 4 times (I had braids in for a month) and during my last wash my hair began to tangled in clumps and ended up matted. I almost cried I looked like I had about 8 locks when I got out of the shower. I had to use jessicurls extra moisturizing conditioner and a tangle teaser. 4 hours later I was detangled. Good luck but I would definitely not recommend.

I love this no-poo alternative to shampoo! I’m an equine veterinary technician and sometimes after work my hair kind-of smells like a barn. While I co-wash most of the time, this product is great when I need a little extra freshening and “clarifying”. As a sensitive redhead, I’d prefer essential oils for scent over fragrance, but the smell is light and pleasant. I’ll never put poo in my hair again!

I mistakenly left this review in the Devacare, but is actually meant for this product: Devacurl. Anyhow... This product defined all of my curls (even the 4a's) and was a creamy, non stripping no poo. After using this, I've stop using sulfate shampoos and continue to get silky clean hair. I'm only withholding the 5 rating for the price.

Surprisingly I saw this in a Rite Aid drug store, and after "cyberstalking" all the curlies and posts on this website, I just HAD to try it. I really like this product. MY 3c hair has a tendency to become absolutely brittle if I'm not careful, and since starting my "no cone" routine, it's been a real challenge to find a product that can moisturize my tresses. Personally, I like the scent-- and this doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped like normal shampoos. In fact, I also have the One Condition (yes, bought that too) and find that I don't even need to use it after using the No-Poo! The only reason I gave it 4 curls is because of the price. Other than that, I'm very satisfied and I would definitely consider repurchasing-- it's cheaper than my favorite "no poo", which is the Wen Almond Mint cleansing conditioner.

Love, love, love this product. It seemed a bit odd not having lather when washing my hair but I got over it after seeing how much healthier my hair looks. I play a lot of tennis so I sweat a lot. Usually use this product 2 - 3 times a week the rest of the time I just rince my hair really well and let dry on its own as recommended in the book Curly Girl. Also use the Conditioner and AnGel. The results of all 3 products is great.

This didn't seem to work well for me. At first, my hair and scalp felt great, but after a few uses, I had build-up (which I had just taken pains to get rid of). I think I will stick with my usual low poo cleanser instead. I also disliked the smell of this product, which although faint, still smelled like my grandmother's powdery scent.

This moisturizes my hair like a conditioner. If you look at the ingredients it even has some of the same things that you would find in a conditioner. The downside is though, since it doesn't lather, you end up using more to get the same coverage, but I tend to avoid this by diluting it with a quick duck under the showerhead, then pulsing it down the hair to the ends. I'd give this a 5 but I have two issues with this. The peppermint and menthol can be irritating on sensitive skin/scalp, and the use of parfum/fragrance. It's just been discovered that some products that use the general "fragrance" have chemicals in it that are highly carcinogenic. Maybe it being the last ingredient it has very little amount but being a product junkie it all builds up, so now I tend to avoid things with fragrance/parfums listed on the bottle, unless it's already naturally derived.

My hair has gone through years of abuse from straightening it too frequently, just recently colouring, and not taking care of it. All of this took a serious tole on my hair, leaving it dry and hay-like. I've used TONS of different brands of shampoos for dry hair and the harsh chemicals in them made my hair even worse. I decided to go No-Poo, just to see if it would make a difference- and it did! My hair isn't nearly as dry and rough as before. The smell is soothing and feels great as I rub it in. I'm so glad I found this line!

I haven't tried other sulfate-free shampoos yet, but I think I've had fairly good results. Definitely takes getting used to from regular shampoos, but my hair has been so much more moisturized since switching! Sometimes I notice it is harder to get rid of build up and my scalp to feel really clean but it is still much more preferrable than dry, flaky, fried shampoo scalp!

I wanted to point out that the ingrdients have changed. The newest version has cocamidopropyl betaine and glycerin, the old version does not. I've only tried the new version and I really like it. It works so much better for me than using inexpensive drug store condtioners for washing. Love the minty scent. I didn't give it 5 curls because I like to alternate this with both low and sulfate-containing shampoos. Otherwise, my fine hair gets too weighed down.

I'm a Low Poo user that was skeptical that this could actually clean your hair and scalp. I figured that massage alone was all you need unless you are doing a real washing. I was wrong, this works. However, being a One Condition and Set It Free user, I can see build-up being a problem with this. I wish there was something being between Low Poo and No Poo. I would imagine that if you had very healthy, almost never frizzy or dry hair (which is like none of us on this site), this would work as the only shampoo/conditioner you would need.

I love No-Poo and One Condition. I starting using them about a month ago and I have noticed a real improvement in the condition of my hair. I grew up in the 60's during the "Twiggy" years and hated my curly hair then, but through the years with the help of an understanding husband, I have learned to accept and, now with the help of Deva Curl, love my hair. I found your website when I read Lorraine Massey's Naturally Curly book. I have hair exactly like hers, very dry with corkscrew curls. I tried Afro-American products but they are too oily for my fine hair. This has to be the best regimen for my hair that I have found. I noticed my hair curls better without the silicones too. I am hooked on this stuff. I also like the Angell gel. The fragrance of all the products is great, but I especially like the smell of Angell, it smells like apples.

I will have to say this didn't do much for me and I never liked the smell really. Nothing I would keep on using but well worth a try for peoople with REALLY dry scalp and hair.

I can say I love the scent of this product...but the product didn't work well for my hair. For some reason it always felt as if I didn't rinse it out completely and left my hair feeling icky, and it made me break out around my forehead. On the other hand, I use in my daughters culy hair and it always looks beautiful. So, all I can say is test it for yourself.

After using DevaCurl's complete line, my hair felt dry. My color was stripped.

I'm torn on this product. Sometimes I get good results. Sometimes it's the same as any ole conditioner-wash. Unfortunately, my results have been inconsistant.

The smell is what stopped me from using this product, but it still did a good job of cleansing my hair nevertheless! I would have given this product 4 stars, but due to the smell, I only knocked off 1!

Finally I got this after being on the CG Routine for 3 months. I love it! My scalp feels clean and hydrated. The smell is also a bonus. As with all DevaCurl products it's light, yet refreshing.

I really like this product. It cleans my hair and scalp well, and sets things up nicely to be detangled later on with One Condition. But mostly I love the scent. I mean, I really LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the scent. Sometimes I just need to walk into the bathroom in the middle of the day and just sniff it. Yum!

This product really started to build up with continued use. At first it left my hair feeling soft, but by day two it felt weighed down and fuzzy, with extreme frizz. The amodimethicone in it, probably.

I love the smell of No-Poo! I find it to really cleanse my scalp. I massage it and leave in for a few minutes and follow up with the rest of the Devacurl line. I found that the scent lingers for a day or two which I don't mind.

The best cleanser I have tried. It leaves my scalp feeling and looking clean, my hair is soft and my curls are happy. It's also detangling and smells nice. I will definitely buy this again!

Since I stopped using sulfates, it is hard to find a good shampoo. I really like the No-Poo though. My hair doesn't feel stripped at all, but moisturized. Doesn't cause tangles and leaves hair soft. I like it much better than Jessicurl's Hair Cleansing Cream.

I really like this product! It cleans my hair but doesn't leave it feeling stripped the way shampoos do.

Excellent product. Scalp is left feeling clean, fresh and tingly. Definitely a HG.

Extremely expensive considering that you can buy any light weight conditioner and rinse, as it has not cleansing properties. Definately not worth the money

This is a great cleanser! I find that my best hair days are now the days I "wash," which I never would have thought possible before CG and Devacurl. I just have so much volume at the roots and my hair feels almost weightless. The only reason I gave it 3 curls instead of 4 is because it doesn't completely get rid of my dandruff... then again, no traditional shampoo ever could either :-/ ETA: changed my review to 4 curls because i've changed my method of washing and it's helped the dandruff so much! i massage the no poo in for longer than i used to and so vigorously that my arms get tired, and it works!

This is a great scalp refresher. It smells invigorating (a blend of tingly peppermint and delicate rose) and while it has no "cleansing" agents, it is a great tool to use for frictioning the scalp. For an ultra mild 'hair' cleansing, I find the Low Poo to be a better bet. The No-Poo is a lot like a very, very lightweight conditioner... much like VO5 Kiwi Lime Squeeze with the added benefits of botanical extracts and the great scent.

I was surprised to like this! It is creamy white and thicker than I thought it would be. It cleans well without drying, I even use it as a facial cleanser without any irritation. Very happy with this product.

Love, love, LOVE this stuff! This is the only shampoo I've used where my hair looks best the day of shampooing, rather than a few days down the road. This is an effective, yet very gentle clarifier. It removes tangles and leaves my hair really soft and shiny.

Finally a cleanser that my hair and scalp agrees with! I feel like it was custom-made for my hair's needs. I have a big tangle problem, or maybe I should say I 'had'. But whenever I use the No-Poo, I can feel the tangles disappearing before I even apply conditioner! I can just glide my fingers through my hair when I have this applied to it. I love how it makes my scalp feel clean and tingly, and the smell is very refreshing. I like to use it in combination with One Condish, and the results are amazing for my tangled fine hair! 3 big cheers for No-Poo!

I alternate between this and Loo-Poo. One of the gentlest cleansers available.

A revolutionary product - truly different - that cleanses the hair unlike any traditional shampoo. Very gentle.

Love this stuff. Smells great, detangles better than just about anything, leaves hair soft and scalp clean. Be careful how you store it though--I had a bottle go bad on me.

When I was on the CG routine, this was the best clarifier imaginable. My scalp was always clean and my hair was always soft.
