The label looks identical other than the ingredient list and the instructions are slightly different too. Not significantly. One says to use a generous amount and one does not. I had the $3.50 off and they would not let me use it. I told them I did use it the first time but I'd forgotten that I had also bought a paul mitchell mousse for my other dd. At any rate it's the only Ulta and it's an hour away so I will probably just order by mail this time.

that is strange...I'm not sure if/when they reformulated --- is the graphic on the label different?

I buy mine at Ulta and I use my Ulta coupons no problem. I wait til the 20% off purchase one

DD started using the devacare too-she actually does have very curly hair. I think since I have the giant bottle from amazon I'll have her use that but once it's gone, I'm going to make sure I buy from a reputable seller. Only thing is, Ulta wouldn't let me use coupons on it the last time I tried. Do they have coupons for the deva site often?

new question. My first bottle of devacare low-poo has these ingredients:
Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Coco Betaine, PEG 75 Lanolin, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Extract, Polyquaternium 7, Hydroxyetheylcellulose, Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm) Extract, Humulus Lupulas (Hops) Extract, Cymbopogon Citrarus (Lemongrass) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Polyquaternium 10, Propylene Glycol, Amino Methyl Propanol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance

second bottle has these:
Aqueos Extracts of: Achilea Millefolium, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria), Cymbopogon Schoenanthus, Humulus Lupulus (Hops), Melissa Officinalis (Balm Mint), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel; Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Propylene Glycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-75 Lanolin, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Benzophenone-4, Polyquaternium-10, Hydroxyethlcellulose, Polyquaterium-7, Diazolidinyl Urea, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid, Fragrance, Red 40, Yellow 5.

I bought the second one from amazon but they have the same exact ingredients listed at curlmart. But drugstore.com and deva show the first list so I guess they changed at some point? Should I return it?

I don't colour my hair so I'm not sure about this method on dyed-hair, but I have just used baking soda and a vinegar rinse, or a borax and water solution. Works great for cleaning hair and the major bonus=completely fragrance free and hair feels soft & healthy.

I recently tried some sulfate free shampoo from walmart. I just randomly got it, and didn't like it because it didn't lather, but I guess that's what you want. It was not organix, but it was in a white bottle. Can't remember the name.

Jessica, I'm a Devacare devotee.  I stopped coloring my hair (just going gray naturally  ), but every time I try something else I run right back to Deva.  Their products definitely work best on my delicate hair. 

I hope you like it - good luck!

NOT VETTING SAFETY ON ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS - Just making sulfate free suggestions.

I use the L'Oreal Sulfate Free shampoos.  It's a nice option in the grocery store and have gotten so many compliments on my hair since I started using it.

I have also used Giovanni products (find in Walmart but near the Burt's Bees option, not in the shampoo aisle).

DH uses Five Star Shampoo http://www.calbenpuresoap.com/index.php  We exclusively use their soaps in the house.  I have never called but did quick research.  We love the foaming soap (DH cannot handle scents at all, so we empty out Dial foaming dispensers, wash in the dishwasher and use them - the soap dispenser from Calben died in hours).  My kids went from consistent issues with their hands to none when we made the switch. (The foam soap is a concentrate so it will fill the four dispensers we have about 2-3 times each).  DH and kids love their bar soap because it is near scentless and not drying in the way other unscented soaps have been. 

If you have a local health food store, they often have great options in the sulfate free options. 

I haven't seen a suave but there are other no-sulfate shampoos at Walmart. But the one I have now, Organix brand, isn't really helping with keeping my color longer. I think even though there's no SLS it still has something harsh in it. Maybe whatever makes it lather. The others I saw there smell too perfumey for me.

I think the devacare has something coconut derived for lather.

Devacare low-poo will still lather. I'm not sure what they have in it, but it does lather for me and it doesn't have sdoium laurel sulfate (the sudsing component).

Good luck!

Lots of main stream brands are going sulfate-free, I'm surprised there isn't a Suave that is sulfate-free?

Went to Ulta today. I got a small bottle of the Devacare Low-poo shampoo to try. They didn't have a small bottle of the conditioner so I just sniffed it and will get a bottle online to try.

Today I used some California Baby shampoo that I got as a trial. It barely lathered. I think I'm so programmed to look for lather to indicate that a shampoo is working that it's going to take some getting used to to use the low-poo stuff.

I said Pantene, but I think it's L'Oreal.  It comes in a metallic tube. I have the pink one. 

I may stop at Ulta tomorrow if we're in town and see what it smells like before I decide. I like the idea of pantene since it's easy to find locally but I've never found a pantene product that I like the smell of. I prefer fruity sweet scents and pantene seems perfumey to me.

I actually have a lot of trouble getting all of the Organix I've been using rinsed out of my hair. It seems lathery even after a lot of rinsing. Maybe a no or low lather one would be easier for me.

I've used Pantene's version. It lathered some.  It smells a bit much for me, so I don't use it alot. Just when my nose is stuffy.

I either order mine from the Deva store itself if I have a coupon or I do Ulta w/ a coupon.  It's still marketed for curly hair, but there's nothing in either that "make hair curl"     Curlies (of which I am) need different low protein low silicone hair products for our hair to be healthy. So light, botanical, natural, no-cone, no-sulfates, is good for us   It doesn't mean it isn't good for other hair types!

At Ulta you can try and return, but I think it can't be more than a certain amount empty --- or just get one of the travel bottles.
