I have curly hair and have used DevaCurl with good results, but the best results I have ever gotten is by using a shampoo bar from Goat Milk Stuff. I wash my hair, blot with a towel, and apply a couple of drops of Argan oil. I use a big comb, then scrunch with my fingers. Super shiney, and beautiful, defined curls. To be fair, I don't color my hair and it's gray. I get lots of compliments. I love the clean feeling of my hair and my scalp is healthy with no buildup. I wash about every 3rd day. Bar shampoo is so easy to travel with as well.
