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 ...

Lightweight Gel With Soft Results for type 4 hair
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I tested the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel on freshly washed, soaking wet hair without a leave-in underneath to see how it performed on its own. The formula felt thinner and much more lightweight than most gels I use. Initially, my curls looked defined, but as my hair dried, it became puffier and lost some of that definition. I tried different product amounts, but the hold still wasn't strong enough for my personal preference on type 4 hair. What surprised me most was how soft my hair felt even without a leave-in. The gel also gave my hair a really nice shine, created a good cast once dry, and didn't flake at all. Overall, I think this product works best for someone looking for a softer, lightweight finish rather than a strong hold. I would personally pair it with a moisturizing leave-in or another styler for more long-lasting definition and moisture retention.
Love this Product!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I loved this product! I usually prefer cream-based products because I've had bad experiences with gels in the past, but I'd heard great things about this one. The gel is super lightweight while still keeping my curls defined all day. My hair never felt crunchy, which is a major dealbreaker for me, so I'll definitely keep using this product in my hair routine.
Busy mom morning routine hack
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This hair gel makes morning routines so simple. I wake up, wash my hair, throw this in and scrunch, and by the time I'm at work it's air dried and not crunchy at all. It also smells amazing, by the way!
Best my curls have looked
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I typically use a mousse on my curls so I tried the gel for the first time and I am very impressed with the results. It defined my curls and reduced the frizz!!! 10/10!!!
Light weight but string hold
After washing and conditioning my hair, I applied the gel to my wet coils and was surprised how defined my curls came out. The texture of the gel is light weight but still gave a strong hold. Achieved a perfect wash and go hairstyle for the week .

- 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
