PFAS score
Devacurl · Hair Spray
DevaCurl Flexible Hold Hair Spray
Skip until brand clarifies propellant & resin chemistry; PFAS risk in aerosol cosmetics remains under-disclosed.
DevaCurl does not publicly disclose PFAS content or propellant type for this hair spray. Many aerosol cosmetics use fluorinated propellants or PFAS-containing film-forming resins, but no lab testing of this specific product is publicly available. Without third-party verification or brand transparency, medium caution warranted.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
