Consumers who used or purchased DevaCurl may be eligible to claim up to $20 without proof of purchase thanks to a $5.2 million DevaCurl hair class action loss settlement resolving claims the product can make hair fall out and irritate the scalp, as well as claims of false advertising.
The Class in the DevaCurl hair loss settlement includes anyone who purchased and/or used any of the covered products in the United States between Feb. 8, 2008, and Aug. 29, 2021.
A list of the covered products is available on the settlement website.
DevaCurl products, made by Deva Concepts LLC, are formulated for all individuals with curly hair and are co-developed by dermatologists, according to the company’s website.
A DevaCurl class action lawsuit alleged the products made consumers’ hair fall out and caused scalp irritation. The class action also claimed the company misrepresented the products.
The defendant denies all allegations of wrongdoing, but has agreed to the settlement.
After attorney’s fees and other expenses are paid from the $5.2 million DevaCurl hair loss settlement fund, Class Members will be awarded based on which tier their claim belongs to.
Anyone who bought or used DevaCurl or had it used on them during the Class Period may file a Tier 1 claim for a one-time cash payment of up to $20 as compensation for minor personal injury or alleged false statements regarding the product.
If Tier 1 claims exceed $750,000, payments will be reduced proportionately.
Consumers who purchased one of the affected products, submit a valid claim form, and provide sufficient documentation of their injuries and related expenses may receive up to $18,000 per claimant for injuries and up to $1,000 for provable expenses.
Claims made and compensation recovered under Tier 2 may be subject to lien subrogation payments.
Supporting documentation for Tier 2 claims includes before-and-after photos, medical records, written or video statements, test results, dated medical bills, dated receipts for out-of-pocket expenses, and more. Further information on acceptable documentation is available on the settlement website FAQ page.
The final approval hearing in the DevaCurl hair loss class action settlement is scheduled to take place Dec. 28, 2021.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is Oct. 22, 2021.
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by Nov. 21, 2021.

The lawyers involved in this lawsuit are ridiculous. If you contact them you get the same repeated answer which is that their lawyers are still working with the lien department on the claims! Firstly, I don’t have any liens nor owe anyone medical bills. I don’t understand what they’re talking about over and over! It’s BS IDK what their point is to hold up money belonging to people who have suffered damages by using this product? Have they ever thought about some of us women would like to purchase hair with the money we are owed. I’m tired of bald and thin hair it’s awful to have to live this way. Maybe these lawyers need to be slapped with a lawsuit for withholding money from victims of Deva products. These people are cruel and I’m guessing us victims will never received what is owed to us.
I submitted all the required documents back in February 2020 and I have not heard or received any communication since this lawsuit was settled.
Anyone in Kentucky received theirs yet?
Inform is delivering mine today any amount is fine by me
Thanks TCA 😊
I have major hair loss but only got $382. I provided proof to them but guess wasn’t enough 😔
exactly.. the majority of people got $380 for tier 2..
those who are saying they got over $5,000 or $10,000 are lying…
the only way you can get between $1,000 – $5,000 is your suffer EXTREME hairloss, tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills and have proof that back that up. Eye witness testimony, doctor’s letter and receipt for buying expensive wigs…
there are some mentaIIy unstabled $chizo’s on here who makes a comment saying they gor $17,000 and then replies back to their own comment… watch out for those people..
Yea, it’s ONLY a 5.2 million settlement.
An honest judgement would be thousands per person if not more for just mild/moderate loss with no 5.2m cap
Def got a check in the mail today thank you
