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.

Love it!
I have wavy/curly hair but its also bery thin so keeping my curls defined is super hard. For the first time ever, my curls are actually defined after styling my hair. I got this as a free sample and im so glad i did because im sold on this product. Im on day 2 and my curls are still there. Sprayed some water on them to refresh and good as new!
Best curly hair gel!
I have tried what feeks like every curky hair product ever made and finally found a product that works! I use a good amount of the gel to get the look i like :)

For a product that has "ultra-defining" in its name, it fell short. This gel didn't perform as advertised and made my hair a frizzy mess. For the price and the brand, I expected much more as far as quality.
Love it!
