Game changer

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 ...

Very Nice on 4C Hair
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
The Ultra Defining Gel is a very interesting product on my 4c hair. I used the product in two ways to see the type of results I would get. Instructions say to use on soaking wet hair and scrunch, I'm not a scrunch type of girl but I wanted to see if it would actually work. It did providing volume but not as much definition as I'd like. On the other half of head, I used smaller sections and worked the product through with a brush and enjoyed those results. It has a soft/flexible hold and takes a while to dry. I see myself using this product for slick curly buns and lazy days. It is truly a one product item. I did receive this product for free to try.
It's a must have!

I ultra Defining Gel is a prize. My curls are popping and I love the wet look on me and the fragrance with a sweet smell. It's my go to when I want defining curls with volume I'm very satisfied with the results of this product and I highly recommend
Coil Definition on 10 💫
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I love this gel for my coils and curls 😍 It gives my hair the perfect definition without leaving it hard or flaky. My curls stay hydrated, soft, and super defined for days while helping so much with frizz. It has a strong hold but still keeps my hair feeling lightweight and touchable. Definitely one of my go-to products for a juicy, defined wash day look.
Finally found my HG Gel
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I have been searching for a gel that gives my 3C/4A curls real definition without that stiff, crunchy finish and DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel delivered. I apply it on soaking wet hair after my leave-in and the curl clumping is chef's kiss. It sets with a cast while drying, but once I scrunch it out, my curls are soft, bouncy, and defined with zero flaking. It's lightweight enough that it doesn't weigh my curls down, and a little goes a long way, so start with less than you think you need!
Finally found a gel that defines my curls
I have naturally curly hair and I'm super picky with styling products because I hate when curls feel stiff or look dry after using gel. This one honestly surprised me 🤍 The DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel gives really beautiful definition and hold while still keeping my curls soft and bouncy. I noticed way less frizz, more shine, and my curls stayed defined throughout the day without feeling crunchy or heavy. I also love that a little product goes a long way. I applied it on damp hair, scrunched my curls, and let everything air dry naturally. Definitely becoming part of my curly hair routine

- 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
