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

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 ...

Very Nice on 4C Hair

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

The Ultra Defining Gel is a very interesting product on my 4c hair. I used the product in two ways to see the type of results I would get. Instructions say to use on soaking wet hair and scrunch, I'm not a scrunch type of girl but I wanted to see if it would actually work. It did providing volume but not as much definition as I'd like. On the other half of head, I used smaller sections and worked the product through with a brush and enjoyed those results. It has a soft/flexible hold and takes a while to dry. I see myself using this product for slick curly buns and lazy days. It is truly a one product item. I did receive this product for free to try.

Coil Definition on 10 💫

Submitted 7 days ago

By Jazmine

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I love this gel for my coils and curls 😍 It gives my hair the perfect definition without leaving it hard or flaky. My curls stay hydrated, soft, and super defined for days while helping so much with frizz. It has a strong hold but still keeps my hair feeling lightweight and touchable. Definitely one of my go-to products for a juicy, defined wash day look.
