Game changer
Devacurl Ultra Defining Gel has been a real game-changer for my curly hair routine. As someone with naturally curly hair, finding the right product to enhance my curls while controlling frizz has always been a challenge.

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 ...

Bouncy curls and holds all day
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've tried a lot of curl gels over the years, and the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel is one of the few that gives me definition without making my hair feel crunchy or weighed down. It keeps my curls defined, bouncy, and frizz-free for days while still feeling soft and touchable. I especially love how well it works for humidity and long wash days, my curls stay shaped and hydrated instead of getting puffy halfway through the day. A little goes a long way, and it layers really well with leave-ins or curl creams. If you want strong hold with natural-looking curls and shine, this gel is absolutely worth trying.
Disappointed with hold
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I really wanted to love this product because I'm always looking for products that enhance and define my natural curls without weighing them down. Unfortunately, this one didn't work well for my hair type. After styling, my curls initially looked decent, but the hold didn't last long. Within a short period of time, my curls became frizzy and tangled, and my hair lost definition pretty quickly. I also noticed a residue left on my hair that made it feel heavy rather than soft or bouncy. I gave the product a fair try as part of my regular curl routine and followed my normal styling process, but overall it just didn't give me the results I was hoping for. While it may work better for other curl types or textures, it personally wasn't the right fit for my hair.
Great Gel that doesn't make my hair crunchy!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I hate when my curls are crunchy so I have always avoided gels but I felt like other products weren't defining them well enough. This Gel did a great job keeping my curls defined without making it hard and crunchy! It also didn't feel super sticky on my hands so it was super easy to work with and scrunch into my hair.
Feels matted
Hair Type Wavy Hair
The gel feels like nothing when it goes into your hair, it feels like it disappears, no slip at all. When it dried down my hair felt dirty and was hard to break the clumps up. By the end of the day my hair was matted, which never happens. Won't be using it again.
My favorite defining gel!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I'm obsessed with this ultra defining gel because it made my curls look so bouncy and defined while still making my hair feel soft and frizz free! I love that it didn't make my hair stiff or crunchy like other gels normally do. This gel has definitely become a staple in my curly hair routine since it's kept my hair put together for days. And it smells SO good too!!

- 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
