DevaCurl Plumping Primer Body-Building Gelée — Cozy Getaway, 5 fl oz | Lightweight, Amino-Acid Volume for Wavy to Curly Hair

DevaCurl Plumping Primer Body-Building Gelée is a lightweight, amino-acid enriched primer that adds fullness, moisture, and shine while defining and priming curls for styling.

Designed for wavy to curly hair, this gelée (formerly B'Leave-In™) blends an Amino Acid Complex into a non-crunchy formula to boost curl body and tame frizz without stiffness. It works as a foundation product you apply to damp hair before layering other stylers, improving manageability and enhancing natural curl shape while remaining vegan and cruelty-free.

How does the Plumping Primer add fullness without weighing hair down?

The gelée uses lightweight conditioning agents and amino acids that temporarily swell the hair fiber and lift the curl pattern at the root and throughout the strand. Because the formula avoids heavy silicones and waxes, it delivers volume without residue or flattening.

• Amino Acid Complex to support thicker-looking strands
• Low-viscosity gel base for even distribution
• No heavy silicones or oily build-up
• Non-flaky finish keeps body natural-looking

Will it help control frizz while keeping curls soft?

Yes — the primer smooths the hair cuticle to reduce flyaways and frizz while avoiding stiffness. It balances moisture, so curls remain touchable and supple rather than crunchy or hard.

• Hydrating ingredients to reduce static and frizz
• Formulated to preserve natural bounce and movement
• Non-stiff hold suitable for finger-styling and diffusing
• Leaves no flaky residue after drying

How should I use it in my curl routine?

Apply the Plumping Primer to clean, damp hair as the first styling step. Work it through roots to ends, then follow with your preferred cream, gel, or mousse; it enhances the performance of subsequent stylers and improves combability.

• Start with a small amount and distribute evenly with fingers or a wide-tooth comb
• Layer under creams or gels to boost body and hold
• Air-dry or diffuse for best definition and volume
• Reapply lightly to damp hair for refreshed body on second-day styles
