Most Helpful Positive Review The HG for perfect curls! So easy to use. The trick is to apply the gel while your hair is still completely wet from the shower, then scrunch your hair with the Deva Towel and let dry WITHOUT touching it. When dry scrunch your curls again and you are ready to go with bouncy, shiny, frizz free curls. Everyone noticed when I switched to the DevaCurl product line--lots of compliments. Now I can forget the hundreds of products I've used over the years!
Most Helpful Critical Review Waste of Money! I saw such great reviews of this product I had to try it for my very curly hair. I thought the small bottle was unreasonably expensive compared to the larger bottle, but I wanted to make sure the production was effective before making the bigger investment.
I tried it three times each time increasing the amount of product, hoping it would be work.
Each time the results were the same. whispy flyaway hair that had less curl than if I used no product at all.
The crunchiness goes away, as it does for all products by bending over and gently running fingers from the scalp down the length of the hair. The issue is that the product took away my natural curls, and left semi-wavy flyaway frizz.
I have tried many products for curly hair, this is by far the worst, including a Suave mouse.

Didn't hold my curl pattern... just made it more frizzy, and it only got worse.
Returned! This did nothing but weigh down my curls. 1

i love that deva-curl offers a more affordable sample size to try this product out, i needed an item to use my $3.50 off $15 and decided to pick this up. before i used this product, i found out my sister had a huge bottle of this that she purchased from ulta just a few weeks earlier. we both love extreme, strong hold for our curls, my hair is more curly than hers and hers is a lot more thick than mine. it really didn't do nothing that fully impressed me for the price point it is. my curls were weighed down, not really defined and on her, it was frizzy. i returned this having not used any of it, and showed her the products that i already use that give me my best curls from curlsmith, ouidad, tiki catwalk, and two products from a brand that i wish ulta carried, mielle. unfortunately, both curlsmith and ouidad don't offer as affordable samples as devacurl but it is worth the price to just but the normal size products, trust me! ouidad vita curl + soft defining mousse, curlsmith curl quenching conditioning wash are two of my favorite products that you will love.
on the last note, ulta please start carrying mielle, laneige and drunk elephant skin care. everyone wants it, from customers to employees alike.
Bought as a trial size 4
Jess from Los angeles
My New Years resolution this year was to take care of myself, starting with nourishing and properly taking care of my curly hair. I haven't used gel since high school and was scared to try this after I saw so many positive reviews. I can say 7 days into the new year and I love it. It will leave a mild cast (shell like feeling) on your curls as it's drying but once it's dry I just flip my hair over and fluff and scrunch to break the cast and my hair remains soft, defined curls and frizz free for 12 hours (I work as a vet tech so I'm running around for 10 hours with rambunctious pets) and It stand the test of physical labor!
I would not buy again I'm returning 1
Chrissy from Cherry hillNo
I tried for first time. It made my hair look full but it made it so knotty I couldn't get a brush through my hair at all after using. I had to use a deep conditioner treatment and I felt it caused damage because it made it so knotty
One of my favorites! 5

Shawna p. from pico rivera , ca
i had to make sure i used a good amount of frizz serum. But it defined my curls well and my hair did not frizz out even when i slept on it.
Smells AMAZING! 5
Kayh from Utah
I bought it for my stepmom to try.
Great for wash and go! 5
Whit90 from Oklahoma City
I bought this try on my hair as a tester and ended up loving it. My hair gets really frizzy since it's wavy so eco style doesn't work with my wash and go's so I tried this mad it keeps my hair defined and tamed.
Product performs as described 5
HappyShopper from Sioux Falls, SD
This product is great for tighter curls, but with my long wavy hair I found I prefer the loose style curl that their light defining gel provides. I'm glad they offer trial sizes so that I could figure out which product I preferred without a huge bottle commitment. This gel does what it promises to!
Just okay 3
ToddSquad from Virginia Beach, VA
I've used every curly product on the market; Deva Curl does work, but it's not my favorite brand. My curls and my 4 year old daughter's curls look great the first day with this product. However, the next day, my curls look like a mess and feel dirty, so I always end up throwing it up in an updo. (My daughter doesn't care if her hair feels dirty, lol. Her curls do look better longer than mine.) Compared to Ouidad products, I like Ouidad more just because I can go two days with my hair down without feeling like a clown. I end up with frizz with both, even using high end curly leave in conditioners and other frizz fighters, but I guess it's just the burden with curly hair. I will say, my hair dries quicker with Deva Curl and I do appreciate that fact and the fact that I can wash and go. With Ouidad, it takes forever to air dry and then I have to go in and touch up certain problem areas with a curling iron. : (
I would buy this again!! 4

I'm currently doing the curly girl method. This gel is curly girl approved and loved by many. I love the smell, and the way it helps my hair hold curl without being crunchy! I didn't want to buy the full size product without testing it first, so the sample size was amazing for that.
Did not care for it 2
sweetrockajelly from CA
My hair feels dry and crunchy. I even put leave in treatment and dry end serum just to soften it, and it didn't.
Doesn't do anything for my curls 1

My curls are alive again! 5
Gabi from San Diego
This has brought new life to my curls, and brought the volume and bounce back with it!
I have that wavy, not curly, mess of hair. This worked! 5
T Whit from Orlando
I am envious of all you curly hair girls. My hair, if I don't straighten dries a mess of loose, not stylish waves. I used this product and scrunche outward as it states and 💥 I had decent waves! Love it.
No flaking and NO crunch.
Better than expected 5
Kit_kat from Pembroke Pines, FL
I have ethnic hair. I used this product as described to keep my curls soft and bouncing. This product did this and much more. Kept me moisturized, soft not crunchy or too hard and product smells good. Very natural ingredients and Great buy. You may want to also use a light oil throughout the week for extended moisture.
Hair Game Changer 5
Skye from Boise, Idaho
OMG THIS IS A HAIR GAME CHANGER!!! I have been attempting to get my hair's wave pattern back for a month. Let me just say it was not going well. So after some research and watching YouTube videos about curly girl method I was told about this product. Let me say the 1st time I used it I had to call my mom and show her. We both were in shock all data! I have beautiful wavy hair thanks to this product. I'm converted
I love this product 5
Ash from NC
This product really enhances the curl and doesn't leave my hair crunchy to touch.
Very Disappointed 2
AmberG from North Carolina
I was not impressed with the DevaCurl product. Usually I do not have frizzy hair, but this product make my hair frizz after drying. I am very disappointed with my results.

I had a perm that made my hair too curly and frizzy. After using my hair was soft and manageable
Great definition, low porosity type 3c/4a 5
TC from MD
Tried the travel size and loved. Will buy the full size going forward. Great product used over the supercream as a base. I have type 3c/4a, low porosity hair. Like the definition better than Arc Angel.
