User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have plans to switch to a bottle that doesn't leak? I've had five bottles and they've all leaked until they've leaked enough to form a seal
Answer:	Mine did not leak.
Question:	What does this smell like
Answer:	It has a light citrus smell, with a faint smell of alcohol but it fades...its really not bad at all. I don't use it too often though.
Question:	Would this be strong enough to hold a tease at the crown for volume? Any tips for best results
Answer:	Yes, it has a strong hold. Just beware it is sticky until it dries.
Question:	What is the difference between the styling spray and the thickening spray
Answer:	Hi Bonnie, the Full Volume Style Spray helps provide volume and thicken strands; it is applied to damp hair at the roots prior to styling. The Age Defying Thickening Spray is a texturizing spray that can be used on both damp or dry hair to help create volume and texture.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this item expired? It says 2016 release
Answer:	Well here’s the thing. I asked Deva Curl directly if they had authorized dealers on amazon because I noticed a difference in the performance of the products I was buying on amazon completed for he ones I was buying at Ulta (amazon ones did NOT perform like the authorized dealers). I’ve bought from several dealers on amazon and gotten consistently poorer results with said product. Ulta products ALWAYS out perform stuff I was buying here. Per your specific question, it may be but I don’t know 100%. I just know that ZERO vendors are approved to sell it here, making it a lot more likely that they are fake, diluted or otherwise tampered with, or expired. I went back to buying at Ulta sadly (much more expensive) because the product is 100% real and the results I get are the ones I expect from Deva Curl. I hope this helps with your decision. Just know if you buy on amazon and you don’t like the performance of the product, buy it at Ulta or Sephora and try it again before you write it off.
Question:	Is there a noticeable difference between this and the coconut smelling cream
Answer:	There is more moisture in the coconut cream version, however in my experience, not really. I have curly course-ish hair and the difference is not drastic or extreme. Both products are great for curly hair, one just contains more moisture via coconut ingredients. I will say though that the coconut version smells DELIGHTFUL whereas the regular one is a bit more candy -skittle-esque.
Question:	Why does this pack of two have the word "touchable" in by the description and purple on the bottle? Is this the same styling cream product
Answer:	Yes. New packaging. Same formula
Question:	Does this have a cast after drying
Answer:	I have been using this product for years on my curly hair. If you use it several days in a row on dry hair it will build up but I wouldn't call it a cast.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this get flakey and white build up
Answer:	I have been using this product for over ten years and it has not flaked on my hair and I do not get a white build up with normal use. If you use this product daily, you will have to wash your hair at least twice a week. I don’t know of any hairspray that does not build-up on hair when consistently used over three or four days. I use the strong hold, fragrance free hairspray.
Question:	Is it safe for colored treated hair
Answer:	Absolutely. Never had a problem as long as you’re not using shoe polish to color your hair. And even if you did it would probably work
Question:	Does it make your hair sticky
Answer:	Thanks for your inquiry! Garnier Style Full Control Anti-Humidity Hairspray will not leave your hair sticky. For best results Spray 10-12 inches from hair and spray in an even, all-around motion.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has "Sculpting Cream" been discontinued? If so, is this a good replacement, or would you recommend something else
Answer:	Not that I know of- but can substitute with Aveda’s Smooth Infusion
Question:	Is this good on men's hair
Answer:	This is for men or women.
Question:	Is this good for at home blow outs on thin/medium hair
Answer:	J, I have color treated hair which is very fine but a little fried at the ends because of the processing. I couldn't believe how luxurious and smooth this product makes my hair look. I sometimes use a blow dryer with a roller brush or use an all-in-one blowdryer roller brush to style my hair. It works beautiful with either approach. And it only takes a little product to do shoulder length hair. I highly recommend the product.
Question:	cam you you use this to finger curl you hair
Answer:	If you have curly hair it will help with frizz but if you are looking to add curl i wouldn’t think this wouldn’t work well. Bumble Be Curly Line would be better, and a diffuser. Good luck!
