Game changer
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 ...

The Goldilocks of Curl Gel
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
As someone with type 3A/3B curls, I feel like I've spent YEARS trying different curl gels trying to find the right one. Every product was either way too weak and my curls would fall flat… or way too strong and left my hair crunchy and stiff. But the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel is seriously the Goldilocks of curl gels because it's just right. It gives me the perfect gel cast without making my curls feel hard or crunchy, and once I scrunch it out, my curls are soft, defined, and bouncy. My curls actually hold their shape while still looking natural, which is SO hard to find with curly hair products. Plus, it smells amazing, without being to overpowering. I honestly can't recommend this gel enough, and I genuinely feel like my search for the perfect curl product is finally over!
Curls with no greasy feeling!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
One of my favorite things about the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel was how soft and defined my curls looked after drying. The medium hold kept everything in place without any crunchy feeling. I also noticed a big difference in frizz compared to my usual routine. The light, clean scent was an added bonus!
10/10 would recommend
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've tried SO many curl gels that promise "strong hold without the crunch" and most of them still leave my hair feeling stiff or just flat out don't work. But this one actually gave me really good definition while still letting my curls feel soft and bouncy. My hair looked less frizzy, more defined, and still had movement. I genuinely love this better gel and would totally recommend if you want hold without your hair feeling yucky.
This is now my favorite hair gel!!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
Wow, I'm impressed with the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel! My curls came out so defined and with volume. NO FRIZZ!! It didn't make my hair feel heavy so I can have both definition and volume at the same time. This was my first time trying it, and it's already one of my favorites. I definitely recommend giving this gel a try!
The perfect lightweight gel that actually holds
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I actually love how this product makes my hair look, especially since you don't have to use too much to get a good hold. This is the only product I put in my hair and look how it looks after air drying. It feels super lightweight and now my go-to gel for low maintenance curl styling.

- 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
