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 ...

Absolutely love this defining gel!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I tried the Ultra Defining Gel on my daughter's type 4 curls and was really impressed with the results. The gel applied smoothly on soaking wet hair and instantly helped define her curls without making them feel crunchy or stiff. After drying, her curls looked soft, shiny, and well-defined with noticeably less frizz. I also liked that it provided hold while still allowing her hair to feel lightweight and touchable. A little product went a long way, and her curls stayed defined throughout the day. Overall, this worked really well for her curl pattern and I would definitely continue using it in our routine.
Defined, soft, bouncy curls!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I love this product — it created plenty of definition in my 3A/B curls without too much crunchiness or stiffness. Once I shook them out a little and broke the gel cast, they were so bouncy, light, but still well-formed and with much less frizz than I normally experience! I live in a humid climate, too, and the gel really helped my curls stay intact.
DevaCurl is perfect for my wavy hair
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I love devaCurl! The product smell is actually so good. It lasted all day. And as a smell good girl, the smell of a product is just as important as the performance. The gel holds my hair and waves without leaving a crunchy over cast which is just what I want in a gel.
Long Lasting Hold & Beautiful Curl Definition
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
After continuing to use the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel, I can definitely say it performs consistently well for my curls. I noticed my hair stayed defined for multiple days with minimal touch-ups, and the gel helped reduce puffiness and frizz without making my curls feel hard or crunchy. I really liked pairing it with my normal leave-in products because it layered nicely and didn't cause buildup or flaking. My curls looked shiny, bouncy, and more polished overall. The texture of the gel is lightweight, but it still gives enough hold to keep styles looking fresh throughout the day. This product made styling easier and helped my curls maintain their shape while still feeling soft and healthy. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for definition, shine, and flexible hold for curly hair.
My 4th bottle
Hair Type Very Curly Hair

- Q
How is this different from the quench gel
- Asked by Donna
- Official Answer By DevaCurl - Brand EngageHi! 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
