Devacurl Ultra Defining Gel has been a real game-changer for my curly hair routine. As someone with naturally curly hair, finding the right product to enhance my curls while controlling frizz has always been a challenge.

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 ...

Great curl defining gel for many hair types.

I love that the consistency is not a sticky/gel-y as some other curl defining gels on the market. It feels light once it dries and really helps define my curls without it feeling too stiff. I have three kids with a finer curl pattern and it works great for them too. Will definitely purchase again.

Deva Curl was one of the brands I first began using when starting my curly hair journey and their products have never failed to work for me! This Ultra Defining Gel does exactly what it needs to, it provides frizz control and holds your hair without any crunch! I did not need to crunch out anything as it was smooth and very well held. It didn't have any white flakes which I've seen with other gels. My hair lasted me until my next washday which is usually 4-5 days later and I was able to dampen my hair and restyle it again! I loved it and my hair felt bouncy and shiny!

Beautiful Definition for My Daughter's Curls

Submitted 6 months ago

By Joy

From Jacksonville

I used this Ultra Defining Gel on my daughter's curly hair, and I really liked the results. It helped define her curls beautifully without making them feel hard, sticky, or crunchy. Her hair looked more polished, shiny, and controlled, but still soft and natural. It also helped with frizz and made her curls hold their shape longer, which is always helpful with kids' curly hair. The gel was easy to apply, and we didn't need a lot of product to get nice definition. Overall, I'm very happy with how her curls looked after using it. It's a great option for curly hair when you want definition, shine, and hold without a heavy feeling.

I've tried so many curl gels, and finally decided to try the DevaCurl brand recently. The DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel gives me really defined, bouncy curls without that crunchy, stiff feeling. My hair stays soft, looks shiny, and the frizz is way more controlled. I personally struggle with halo frizz and as long as I added the gel to my dripping wet hair, I had no halo frizz. I also love that it doesn't flake or feel heavy, and a little goes a long way. I definitely plan to buy this product again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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
