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. After using this gel for several months, I can confidently say that it's one of...

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 ...

This gel is SOO different!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I also love that there is no white cast or flaky residue after it dries. Everything sets clean, and the curls still look shiny and healthy instead of weighed down. Overall it makes styling so much easier and gives that polished curly hair look that lasts all day without much effort.
New favorite for fine, curly hair!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I have fine, curly hair that I struggle to maintain my curls with. There aren't many products out there that I have found that I really like, that don't weigh down my hair or make me feel extra oily after only a day. This product is great! Really light formulation, but works really well at defining my curls and eliminating frizz (which, if you have fine curly hair you know ALL about frizz). I love it! Licensed cosmetologist approved.
Holding up Strong!!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
My reviews on curl products i try are based on how my curls look days after the initial application because my wash and goes are a process lol! That said, day 4 hair still going strong! So far I'm loving it! The product itself is very manageable, smells good and a great quantity. Will for sure grab again :)
Love this to style my hair
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
love the way this has my curls looking. I use it after washing my hair, once my curls have dried a little so I can still get some volume for the day. I'll apply the product, start doing my makeup, and by the time I'm done, my hair is pretty much dry. Then I just fluff my curls out for more volume. What I really like is that it doesn't leave my curls feeling hard or crunchy. They still feel hydrated, healthy, and shiny, but with enough definition to make styling easier. It's been a really nice product to use when I want my curls to look styled and not crunchy or wet.
No flake gel
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I tried this gel out on my 4c coily hair, I used it after washing my hair and styling it with leave in conditioner, the gel was light weight and did not flake. I was able to achieve a defined twist out.

- 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
