Game changer

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 ...

Defined Curls That Still Feel Soft
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I really liked this gel. It made my curls super defined and didn't feel sticky when I was applying it, which I really liked. It also smells amazing. It gave me really good hold but still felt super light on my hair. My curls stayed bouncy and soft all day, which I don't always get with gels. I also loved how defined and pretty my curls looked. It was honestly really easy to use and my hair felt good all day.
Defined Curls Without the Crunch? Yes Please.
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've been trying DevaCurl and honestly, the texture is one of the biggest wins for me. It gives hold and definition without leaving my hair feeling crusty, greasy, or weighed down — which is a must. As a natural, I love that I can use it in more than one way. When I'm wearing a protective style, I can use it on my edges for a soft, clean finish. When my hair is out, I can work it through my full head to help bring my curls to life. In my opinion, this product works best on textured hair because that's where you can really see the curl definition come through. It gives the curls a little structure without making them feel stiff, and that balance matters. Honest review: it's versatile, it feels good in the hair, and it actually helps define instead of just sitting on top of the curls.
Great definition
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This product has been a new addition to my curly hair routine and so far i'm truly loving the results. A lot of gels that i've tried tend to dry out your hair after constant use and this gel does not! Its great at defining my curls without flaking, i'll definitely be repurchasing.
Hold without crunch
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel does not disappoint. I used it on my 4C hair for a twist out and loved that it gave me definition and hold without leaving my hair crunchy or flaky. The gel feels lightweight, keeps my curls soft, and helped my twist out last while still looking natural and hydrated
A solid curly hold product
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I enjoyed this product and did have high hopes for it as I used it as I was reverting my hair back from being straight for a month. The product itself to me doesn't feel too sticky and has a good consistency for a gel where it isn't super runny but also not super thick. It is the right consistency manipulate your hair. Once applied to my hair it did provide definition and reduced the amount of frizz and didn't feel too heavy on my hair. I liked that it didn't make my hair feel like it had a hard cast on it, once it dried I was able to easily manipulate it without losing the definition the gel had provided. I did have a challenge with the product but it may be an advantage for other hair types. I have a 4a/4b so I generally like gels that have just a little stronger of a hold, so my hair didn't last as long as I would've liked it to but the initial results for days one and two were good.

- 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
