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 ...

Light definition and a lot of movement

Submitted 6 months ago

By Dayre

From Estados Unidos

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

My hair is curly and I usually have a lot of frizz, so I tried this gel by applying it to damp hair and letting it dry naturally. Although when applying it I felt that I had no product because it is very light, the final result surprised me a lot. It left my hair with very good definition, volume and movement, especially at the ends, without leaving the hard layer typical of many gels. It also helped a lot with frizz and the hair felt manageable and light. I really liked the smell. I would especially recommend it if used together with good hydration or your styling cream for better results, since I felt the tips a little dry. Even so, it had been a long time since I saw my hair so defined and with so much movement.

Soft, Defined & Frizz-Free Curls All Day

Submitted 6 months ago

By Carol

From New Jersey

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

As someone with naturally curly hair, I'm always looking for products that define my curls without making them feel crunchy or weighed down, and the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel really impressed me. It gave my curls beautiful definition, reduced frizz, and left my hair looking soft, shiny, and bouncy. I also loved that the hold lasted throughout the day without feeling stiff. A little product goes a long way, and it worked especially well when applied to soaking wet hair before diffusing. My curls felt hydrated, smooth, and more manageable after styling. Definitely a great option for anyone wanting defined, healthy-looking curls with flexible hold!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Defined Curls Without Feeling Stiff

Submitted 6 months ago

By Alexis

Hair Type Wavy Hair

Defined Curls Without I tried the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel on both my hair and my husband's since we both have longer curly hair, though his curls are much tighter than mine. We were both impressed with how well it worked for our different curl patterns. For my hair, it added definition without feeling stiff or crunchy. I applied it to soaking wet hair after conditioning, let it air dry, and noticed less frizz with softer, more defined curls. After scrunching out the cast, my hair still felt touchable. My husband's curlier hair can get frizzy or weighed down easily, but this gel helped define his curls without feeling heavy or sticky. We both liked that it provided hold without the hard gel feeling. Overall, this is a great medium-hold gel for soft, natural-looking definition. I received this product in exchange for leaving my honest review.Feeling Stiff

Perfect Gel for My Curl Journey

Submitted 6 months ago

By Vanessa

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I recently cut off all my hair and honestly had no clue how to style it or get my curls to look defined. The Quench'N Define Gel has been a lifesaver! It gives me soft hold without crunch, keeps my curls looking fresh all day, and really helps bring out my natural texture. I love that DevaCurl is stylist-approved and rooted in curl science. It feels like the brand actually understands the curl journey, and this gel gave me the confidence to rock my short curls with pride.

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
