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.

224 thoughts onDevaCurl Hair Loss, False Ad $5.2M Class Action Settlement
it is almost June and still no check..
where is that cIown that said check will be sent in early May? you Iying cr@p getting people hopes up! you should be ashamed of yourself
You are right!! The person who said that he got his amount is lying “the guy who said that amounts are low” …
One of the attorneys just called me and he said that the amounts are not even ready yet.. That liar must be the loneliest foreveralone lncel in the world.. He is pathetic.
I don’t get it. The lawyer answered my email and said within the next week checks will go out. But they called you and said they don’t even have amounts ready???
This is b.s. They need to get their story straight before leading us on.
And for whomever said low amounts and early May… Grow up and get a life. Find something to do with your pathetic existence besides trolling message boards.
I agree!!!
I would be mad if the amounts for those who actually lost hair would be just a few thousands dollars, like $2000-$4000.
I have lost almost 75% of my hair and it has taken years for it to slightly regrow.. If I get a measly few grand for the damage it caused me I would be pissed!
I would need to see at-least $10k or more for the damaged I suffered,
The amounts are going to be low because there is not enough money in the “pot” as I was told by the lawyer. Also they have been saying checks are going out in the next 2 weeks for the last 4-5 weeks smh
You are on every class action bullying people. Why you are allowed to keep doing it is beyond me. You should be banned. You’re always telling people to go die and shit. Why don’t you take your own advice!?!
lol.. they “hope” they will be done in 2 weeks.. ive heard that many times before.. KCC is the one handling this settlement, and they did the same thing for the Levis Stadium settlement.
they were supposed to pay out in December 2020, but we didint get checks until summer 2021… they kept pushing the date back..
dont get your hopes up people, we will be lucky to even get checks by Christmas this year…
Any real update
Someone had posted that you could call and get your payment amount. And that they were told payments will go out at the end of the month.
But when I called… the gentleman I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about. None.
There is a chance that he just wasn’t in the loop on the current status. However there’s an equal chance the entirely of the post was fake.
But who knows… maybe checks will show up next week! 🤞
Thanks
When I emailed them, I received the reply below:
“Your claim has been received. It can take time for claims to be fully processed. Your patience is greatly appreciated.”
Hmmm wonder why they didn’t provide me with any details.
No they arent Iiar!!!
i just emailed them.
Hello, can you provide email link .Thanks
Hi my name is Sara I never received any information regarding this class action lawsuit I have been using devacurl and have purchased and have had hair loss since 2018 to current did not know this was going on was never notified. Suffered severe trauma dry scalp multiple Dermatology visits multiple emergency visits and ongoing health problems just recently a surgery performed in January of this year and April 12th of this year
Sorry you missed it. This website can’t add you to the lawsuit or file any claims for you. And certainly not when the claim is about to pay out. I’ve never understood why people put “add me” in the comment section. I’d suggest joining a class action group on a social media forum, so you don’t miss out on any other claims you might qualify for.
Did they tell you the amount? Was it higher or lower than what you expected? Thanks
I tried to call but there isn’t an option to talk to a person. I also seen a doctor and paid with my credit card. I provide a copy of my paid bill so I am sure they will just reimburse me. I think people who have seen a doctor but didn’t submit proof of payment will have their bills paid.
Ooohhh… ok. Thank you for clearing that up. I was scared for a min there! I thought I was going to have to get reimbursed from my dr now. Lol.
But I get it now. I feel silly!
Please add me.
The deadline was back in November.
Something isn’t right.
On May 7th, Charlie Schaeffer (one of the attorneys) told me 2 weeks. Now I see people saying that they are told that claims aren’t even decided yet.
Has anyone else reached out to the attorneys besides us? I emailed him at CSchaffer@lfsblaw. com
