DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel Strong Hold Non-Crunch Styler | Non-Flaking Formula | Non-Sticky

I've tried so many products for my curly hair. This has been the easiest and I get great results. I like to wash my hair in the evenings after my workoutthat twice a week. I don't wash my hair everyday. But this product keeps my hair from being frizzy. I have more defined curls. The first application is when I wash it. I leave it in my wet hair after styling it the way I want it to look and go to bed with this product, It holds well. The next morning I just wet a little and I have more curls in places there was no curls. I run my fingers through my hair after its dried, it leaves fluffy curls and stays until I wash it again. If I get my hair wet from sweat, between washing I run my wet hands through my scalp. After it's dried I fluff again and my hair stays in place with big soft curls and no frizz.

If you have wavy or curly hair…this is perfect! Does exactly as described!

Product works great

FAVORITE curl gel - keeps curl definition without crunch (as long as you don’t use too much).

I have curly hair and this gel is perfect for it. I've been using for a number of years. I recommend this gel.

I've been using DevaCurl products for about a decade and my trio are the No-Poo and One Condition Decadence line, plus the Ultra Defining gel. Every time I take a break (I find that periodically switching things up keeps things working—maybe just imagining things, but...) when I return to my loves (this trio), the results are unmistakable: hair immediately more moisturized, fuller, bouncier and more defined curls and hair just looking and feeling healthier in a NOT at ALL subtle way. I was devastated when everyone started saying that they were experiencing hair loss with the DevaCurl line (and others) and had a real crisis over what product to switch to because I've spent entirely too much on trying too many brands that did NOT A THING for my hair, over the years. When I tried DevaCurl, in 2013, my search was over. I immediately began getting compliments from others with curly hair, asking me what I use, because it's hard and everyone with curly hair knows this problem. When the news about hair loss potentially stemming from this product (and others for curly hair) came out, I was devastated, but, not having had that as my experienced, I continued using it. They were the only products I had gotten amazing results from, consistently, and they nourished and healed my hair from the grievous mess it always was before I found DevaCurl. Now that they've changed their formulation the results are entirely different. Now this gel feels so watered down and I can scrunch until my fingers are blue with no curl effect happening, whatsoever. My curls are in no way what they used to be. The hold is completely non-existent anymore. This was my first bottle of the new formula and I've got to use an additional gel after scrunching (with the DevaCurl hair cloth) and plopping it in a microfiber turban until just damp. The same altered and thoroughly diminished effects are true of the other two products in my trio. So watery and thin, now, and that powerful, juicy, luscious moisturizing effect is totally gone. I'm in mourning because I've not found another product that beats DevaCurl's original formulation results.

This is my favorite gel for curly hair. Amazing hold. I even wear it first day without breaking the cast. Then the next day I get a whole new look after breaking the cast. Day three I wear it up on a clip and that takes me back to hair wash day. Amazing lasting product that doesn't weight your curls down or leave you looking greasy.

If I could give it zero stars I would. Left my hair so dry it feels like straw. I’m seriously panicked I might have to cut it. Do not purchase!!
