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 perfect cast!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
If you're a curly girl YOU know the struggle of finding a good curly product! Deva Curl formulated this Ultra Defining Gel just right - absolutely no crunch at all and the product just glides through your hair. If you have fine hair I would say this is a must have in your curly routine. It doesn't weight the curls down at all and still leaves them feeling soft and touchable with definition - leaving you with the perfect cast! If you're searching for a light weight gel don't miss out on adding DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel.
My go to!

Love how it keeps my curls In place all week without a crunchy feel! Super hard to find with my hair being so thick
A Type 4B Perspective
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
Finding a gel that defines 4B coils without causing a flaky, white mess is a serious struggle, but DevaCurl's Ultra Defining Gel surprisingly delivers. The lightweight formula has great slip, gliding through soaking wet, sectioned hair easily over my usual leave-in without any pilling. It dries with a noticeable cast that locks in my coil pattern and keeps frizz at bay, even in high humidity. Once fully dry, scrunching it out with a little oil leaves my hair incredibly soft, bouncy, and completely flake free.
Absolutely LOVE
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I'm really picky about gels because I hate when my curls feel stiff or crunchy, but the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel gave me hold *without* making my hair feel hard. It defined my curls so well, helped cut down on frizz, and kept everything looking good for days instead of just wash day. What I liked most was that my curls still felt soft and natural while having actual definition and shape. It gave me that "put together" curl look without looking overly styled. I also noticed way less puffiness throughout the day, especially with Utah's dry weather. I've been pairing it with a curl cream and the combo has been sooo good for keeping my curls hydrated and defined at the same time. Definitely one of the better gels I've tried for hold + softness together.
I love this product

- 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
