The previous thread (here) was getting very, very difficult to navigate and new stories/updates were getting lost. It's typical to make a new thread when that starts happening, so here we are!

I've also changed the default sort to "new" for visibility -- don't be alarmed, you can change it back using the buttons under the post if you prefer.

Also, here's a publicly editable google doc with crowdsourced replacement options, if you would prefer to stop using Deva products.

Hi all,

You may have seen recent threads/news about DevaCurl. Long story short, DevaCurl products have started causing major scalp irritation and hair loss for some people. This includes many longtime users and devotees who have noticed recent changes in how the product works for their scalp and hair.

In order to bring attention to this issue and aggregate information, we've started this thread. Please post all DevaCurl-related concerns and comments here! And while it's probably not necessary to remove individual threads (yet), you can nudge people to post here instead.

This is NOT intended to scare you or definitively say you shouldn't use DevaCurl. But if you do, please be aware and watch for changes in your hair and scalp!
