DEFINE GAME STRONG
Definition without the crunch. This non-flaking formula with a strong curl-locking blend provides a non-sticky curl cast that defines, fights frizz, and amplifies shine and bounce.
Ultra Defining Gel 101
Our gels form a curl cast that covers curls to ensure they dry defined with frizz control. Once curls are dry, it is easily scrunched away.
No, all DevaCurl gels are formulated to leave curls feeling soft and touchable without residue or crunchiness. Scrunch when dry to release the curl cast and create an even softer finish.
The great thing about DevaCurl gels is that they can be used on all curl types. Choose one based on the amount of hold you need. Ultra Defining Gel is great for waves that need that extra oomph to help lock in definition.
Bright Breeze Fragrance
A crisp, uplifting juicy scent that starts with notes of Pomegranate, Raspberry and Salty Melon, followed by Waterlily and Gardenia and finishes with Sandalwood, Cotton Candy and Musk.
We are committed to being kind to the environment and reducing our eco-footprint. This bottle is made from 50% recycled ocean bound plastics.
What it means to us: styling versatility so your curls can take on any shape and stand up to anything. Protect, revive or reset your waves, curls, or coils with confidence.
how to use
Rub between palms, scrunch into soaking wet curls. Do not rinse, style as usual. Once fully dry, shake at the root and scrunch to soften the cast.

Loved for years!
Review by Elisa B. on 5 Apr 2024 review stating Loved for years!
I have loved this product for YEARS. It works perfect for my long curly hair. I know most people say to put it in your wet hair right away, but for me it works best after putting a cream in and letting dry for 10 min before putting in this gel. Then I let it air dry for another 10-20 minutes, then diffuse and scrunch and I love the volume-filled frizz-free look!

My coily curls are back
Review by Syndi B. on 8 Feb 2024 review stating My coily curls are back
I have been a curly-headed girl my entire life. I had curly hair when there really was NO product to tame my locks. For years, I used Paul Mitchell products. I always hated the 'crunchy' way my hair felt. DevaCurl's Ultra Defining Gel has been a game changer! My curls are defined and soft and stay that way for days! I tell EVERYONE I know about DevaCurl products, and how they have changed my hair for the better! Now my hair has lots of curls and no frizz!
