Comparison of The Products I Like to Use and Sell
In the salon I use four different lines for curly hair: DevaCurl, Surface, Leaf and Flower and Taliah Waajid. I love all of them.
DevaCurl began as a moisture-based line with No-Poo, Low-Poo, One Condition and styling enhancers. It has evolved and discontinued some products, expand others, re-branded and reformulated.
It now includes a protein line with CURLBOND. They added, FLEXFACTOR Curl Protection and Retention Primer. It is great for natural curls, braids and twist-outs. They also developed a relieving SCALPD(ph)ENSE Daily Nourishing Protecting Serum and Scalp Puri(pH)y Easy-Rinse Exfoliating Spray. Both are great for sensitive irritated scalps.
DevaCurl has a unique floral scent. Deva curl is expensive. You can get great deals through their website and or buy at Ulta to accumulate points. I recommend trying the sequence of products prescribed by your stylist.
Surface Curls is an organic line. They use Amaranth, a curl safe protein combined with amazing Moringa and Babassu Oil’s for moisture among other ingredients in their extensive recipe list. The line is creamier than DevaCurl. It adds elasticity, moisture and flexible strength. Surface curls aroma is like a freshly backed coconut almond cupcake.
For fine and thinning hair I always recommend treating the scalp with the Surface, Awaken line. If you mix the Awaken and Curls line together its like a peppermint patty aroma. My clients love it.
Surface is super pricey so you have to be convinced it’s worth it to buy.
Leaf and Flower is a new experience for me. Normally companies make extensive systems that require purchasing 5 separate products to produce a finished end result.
Leaf and Flower Curl does it with three steps: CBD instant curl repair shampoo, curl repair conditioner and curl defining cream. The line is CBD infused, powered by plant derivatives and the aroma is uplifting. It is also quite pricey but a lil’ goes a long way.
Taliah Waajid is the founder of her self-titled, established brand, with four lines to choose from.
I just recently discovered the Curly line while out running errands at the local beauty warehouse. I was super excited to try it on low porosity hair. WOW! I found a product that delivers the results I have been searching for, for years.
I have not had the same success using DevaCurl with low porosity hair. I find that Talaih Waajid is where it is at! The aroma is a menagerie of earth and fruity tones. I dig it and can’t wait to learn more! What is really exciting is the price point, totally reasonable!
