Nice product
I have fine wavy hair that has a few ringlets here and there, I also color my hair often to color gray. I was looking for something to use in between shampoo days so I don't strip my hair color/ moisture. I have my hair pulled back in a bun with lots of gel and hairspray during the week. I don't min...

Changed Formula
I've used Buildup Buster for years and it was the best for clarifying my curly hair without stripping it. When they repackaged everything I didn't realize they were also changing the formulas, so I picked it up just like normal and only figured it out the first time I used it (my bad, I should have ...

Not bad

I am using this as my main cleanser as I try not to use stripping shampoos anymore. I can't say I see a huge difference between this & other no poo cleansers so far but I'm pretty bad at telling whether something is negatively or positively effecting my hair. My hair is less frizzy lately but I do use other products after it.

I'm a new mom and hardly wash my hair these days. This product got my hair and scalp super clean after not washing for a week. Fragrance was great and left my hair with a shine. Thanks for helping this new mom out!
Different but I like it!

This product does not really lather, which was weird for me because it makes you feel like your hair isn't getting clean. I used this product after I had box braids in for a month. Usually, I have a bit of buildup on my scalp because I can't really wash my hair with braids. I have thicker, processed, and color treated hair. My hair ranges between 4a and 4c depending on the section. My hair and scalp actually did feel pretty clean after using this. I still went over it with a shampoo because I don't know…I've never used a product like this before and I've never used the Deva Curl line. I felt like I needed to add another step. With that said, this did what it said it was supposed to do! I do feel like my scalp felt "treated!" i'm taking off one star because I don't really love the scent.
Works Great

I really liked this DevaCurl Build Up Buster cleanser. I noticed after using that my curls were smooth and well defined. It definitely helped me with my frizz too. The scent is light and not overpowering. It's a good product and would recommend.
Clean but doesn't lather

I usually go 4ish days between days if i can help it and i tried this around that timeframe. I don't have a super oily scalp but this did make it feel so much cleaner and lighter after washing and drying. My only issue is that is barely lathers so it feels kind of odd working it through your hair. That might be the type of shampoo; not just this one. The smell is nice though, not too overpowering
