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 ...

Great for Volume Styling
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
Great lightweight gel if you are styling for volume. Left my hair defined but allowed me to keep the volume without any crunch.
Lightweight Hold With Amazing Curl Definition
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I was really impressed with the Ultra Defining Gel by DevaCurl. It gives my curls great definition and hold while still keeping them soft and touchable. My curls looked more shaped, polished, and full of life after styling. What I liked most is that the gel feels lightweight on the hair and doesn't create that stiff or crunchy feeling that many gels leave behind. My hair still had movement and felt comfortable all day. It also helped control frizz and kept my curls looking fresh for hours without leaving any white flakes or residue. Overall, it made my curls look healthier, smoother, and long-lasting without making my hair feel heavy.
I Love This Gel!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
The Ultra Defining Gel gives my curls the extra bounce they needed! I love using this right out of the shower, just scrunching my hair a bit with the product and letting it air dry. My curls come out so voluminous and bouncy, and it's perfect for my everyday low maintenance styling!
I liked this product
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've been using this gel on my curly hair routines lately and I really like how defined my curls look without feeling stiff or crunchy. A lot of strong hold gels leave my hair hard or flaky, but this one keeps my curls soft while still helping them hold their shape all day. It also helped reduce frizz and gave my hair a nice shine without weighing it down. I usually apply it on soaking wet hair after my leave-in, scrunch it in, and let it air dry or diffuse. My curls stay defined for days and I don't feel like I need a ton of product either. Definitely one of the better gels I've tried for strong hold that still looks natural.
I really like how defined and soft my hair looks
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I've been using the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel on my curls for the past few washes, and I really like how defined and soft my hair looks after it dries. I applied it to soaking wet hair after conditioning, scrunched it through my curls, and diffused it like usual. What I noticed most is that it gave me good definition without making my hair feel crunchy or heavy. Once my hair was fully dry, I scrunched out the cast, and my curls still had movement and volume. I also liked that it helped reduce frizz while keeping my curls looking natural. I have medium texture curls, and this gave me the perfect medium hold for everyday styling.

- 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
