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 ...

Soft, touchable curls that hold their shape

Submitted 6 months ago

By Reagan

From Missouri

Hair Type Wavy Hair

This deva curl gel is just what I needed in my life. I use it after I shower and towel try my hair to shape up my curls so they aren't limp, and let it air dry for a while before using a diffuser to finish off the drying. My hair looked so good and it held all day. The curls are soft, but they also didn't get tangled and crunchy. This is my new go-to gel.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Doesn't weigh my hair down!

From Boise, ID

Hair Type Wavy Hair

I tried the ultra-defining gel for the first time yesterday, I was a little nervous because gels can sometimes leave my hair crunchy or weighed down as I have 2b/2c hair type, but I was pleasantly surprised! I applied it to wet hair after my shower, scrunched it in, and let it air dry. The hold was really nice. It gave my waves more definition and bounce and my hair felt softer than I expected once I scrunched out the cast, and it cut down on frizz which is always important. Definitely adding this to my routine now. If you have wavy hair that needs a little extra definition without going full curly girl mode, this gel is worth trying!

Defined, Frizz-Free Curls That Last All Day

Submitted 6 months ago

By Joselin

From Columbus,OH

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I've been using the Ultra Defining Gel for my curls and I really like how defined and smooth my hair looks after styling. It gives a strong hold without making my hair feel stiff or flaky, and it helps control frizz throughout the day. A little product goes a long way, and it leaves my curls looking shiny, soft, and long-lasting. Perfect for everyday styling if you want definition and hold without weighing your hair down

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I have 4a low porosity curls and this product works really well for me. The texture of the product is very compatible with my curls and I really like the light scent. This entire line works well and I highly recommend it.

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
