Yesterday I got my first Deva Cut by Marisol at Curl Power@ My Salon in Largo, Fl, level 2. I have been doing the CGM since 11/18 and wish I saw her much sooner. I felt like I wasted so much time and money on products that didn't quite work. And failed techniques. I felt my curls definately improved from the start of my process but I was stuck. Like dieting, lol. Okay let's get to my visit!
I went to the salon with 2 day old hair. Marisol took her time to find out the history of my hair and my process. She shared her CG journey with me as well. I was doing many things right but I needed to tweak my routine. She started by clipping my hair and trimming from the back working her way up and around...curl by curl. When she washed my hair she used Buildup Buster twice. It's a "clarifier". She said I had a lot of build up and proved it to me. That surprised me because I clarified two weeks ago and I use a CG shampoo twice a week. She washed my hair and conditioned my hair. I told her my hair gets so knotty at the nap of my hair. She said I need to use MORE water. (I'm low porosity). She finger detangled my hair....amazing! And fast too! Not 20 minutes like when I do it, lol. She was very gentle and only used a small amount of conditioner. When your hair frizzes it needs more water. I felt I knew all this but I didn't "apply" everything correctly. She used the Ultra Defining Gel and a tad bit of Styling Cream. Not too much product. She showed me how to refresh without frizz too. This is a big issue for me. She gave me samples and a booklet and of course if I had any questions to contact her again. She was amazing. If you're in the Tampa Bay Area and are in need of help please don't hesitate and go see her. read more
