Q
How is this different from the quench gel
Asked by Donna
Official Answer By DevaCurl - Brand Engage
Hi! Our Ultra Defining Gel provides a strong hold with a non-crunch finish that defines curls, fights frizz, and enhances shine and bounce. It features a curl-locking blend that creates a defined cast without flaking. The Quench’n Define Gel is specifically designed for dry, medium to coarse waves, curls, and coils. It delivers strong hold while also locking in moisture for up to 5 days, helping enhance elongation and shine. It’s ideal for wash-and-go styles or protective styling and performs well even in high humidity. Both offer strong hold without crunch, but Quench’n Define focuses more on added moisture and elongation for drier curl types.Was this answer helpful to you

Mixed feelings on this product

So I got to try this DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel for free for my honest opinion from Influenster and DevaCurl. I also received the DevaCurl Diffuser to use with it. I have some mixed feelings on this product. For reference my hair is very thick, frizzy, wavy and long. I'd say it's either a 2A or 2B ...

I have 3b/3c curls,high- medium porosity and my curls love this gel so much! It's not sooo strong but it definitely helps with creating a gel cast over whatever curl cream I decide to use. It has a light smell which doesn't bother me; think fresh flowers! The cast I get from this gel keeps my curls lasting over three days, which is funny because without it I can barely get my curls to last one day. If you have frizzy curls try using a gel like this!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Great Definition Without the Crunch

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I really like using the Ultra Defining Gel for wash and gos. The definition it gives my 4c curls genuinely surprised me, as I don't usually get this level of curl clumping and structure from a gel alone, so I was really impressed. The hold is solid, but the gel cast isn't overly crunchy, which I like because my hair still feels soft once I fluff it out. Overall, it gives me great definition without making my hair feel stiff or overly styled.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

The BEST gel for curly girlies

This product may just make me a fan of gel for my curly hair! It isn't, keeps my hair soft, and rubs through easily! I've been so impressed with how it does not leave a hardness feeling to my hair but instead keeps my curls bouncy and maintained. The Ultra Defining Gel is my favorite naturally curly hair product in my line up for styling!
