The streets are talking and natural haircare brand DevaCurl has some explaining to do.

After experiencing hair loss and severe chemical damage, thousands of customers and influencers alike have taken to the internet to give their reviews on the haircare collection, which could potentially be facing a major lawsuit in the near future.

While the company has built its brand on being a healthy, mainstream solution for naturalistas, critics claim that the DevaCurl collection is the culprit of irreversible damage to their curl pattern and must be stopped.

Since news of the company's potential legal debacle has gone viral, Facebook groups, YouTube videos, and bad reviews are showing up all over the internet, including but not limited to the thoughts of former DevaCurl ambassador Ayesha Malika and creative influencer Akwaeke Emezi who say they saw a notable difference in their curl pattern after implementing DevaCurl in their haircare routine.

Although DevaCurl's former customers seem to be showing the company absolutely no mercy, the brand has been adamant about the fact that their products have been tested and proven safe for human use. In a statement released yesterday, the company said:

"Because some of our community have recently asked more questions about some of our products we have conducted additional testing at the manufacturer and warehouse level. In addition, we worked with an independent third-party toxicologist to verify the safety of these formulas. All these tests verified there are no safety issues with our products."

So far, no charges have been filed and it's unclear if victims will seek compensation for their loss in the future, but it's safe to say that the company has been cursed with a permanent side-eye by the WOC community, but luckily for those of us who don't want our edges snatched (by harmful haircare products, at least), there are hella other options available, and xoNecole has all the deets.

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
