DevaCurl Light Defining Styling Hair Gel, 12oz

A few years ago I had gotten a Deva curl cut and purchased products from a salon. I loved what products did for my hair. I've grown up with curly frizzy hair that's not very coarse but also not very manageable. This gel provides just enough hold for my curls to look great without making my hair super crunchy. The first time I used it I think I used too much but I was able to break apart the curls and they looked great. Having had time to play around with the ratio I've been able to achieve a look that seems effortless. I literally wash my hair with regular shampoo then flip and condition with my hair upside down and after conditioning I scrunch the gel into my hair while it's still soaking wet and upside down. This method seems to work best for me but I also have long hair. Where I live there is not much humidity but it gets extremely hot and even with sweating my hair hasn't frizzed back up and the gel integrity was not compromised. This is a great price for this product, in the salon I paid almost double for a smaller bottle. Will purchase again!

I am a huge fan of DevaCurl products. I have been using DevaCurl for over a year now. It works well for both my long hair and short hair.I started with their travel size of the "DevaCurl Kit for All Curl Kind" It includes 3oz bottles of No-Poo Original, One Condition Original, Styling Cream, Light Defining Gel.I was really shocked at how well this line of products worked on my hair. I buy all of them in the large bottles now. Individually they are good products but together they have changed my curls. I am not kidding at all! My curls are curlier, not crunch, not as frizzy and overall more beautiful than before I used DevaCurl.I have bought this travel sized pack for multiple curly haired friends to try because I know if you just try all the products together you will be sold!

I wish I would have done more thorough research of this line of products as I purchased 3 items from them but I recently came across some shocking testimonials of MANY women whose hair fell out in CLUMPS from long- and short- term use of DevaCurls products. Apparently there is class action lawsuit against them for causing severe hair & scalp damage. I only tried the products I bought 2-3 times but I am not willing to risk potential damage by continuing to use these products. I am not a part of the lawsuit and just want others to make educated decisions about the products they choose to use. It's unfortunate because I really liked the products I purchased.

I've been using this gel for years as my go-to hair product. With this most recent purchase, after using it, I noticed my hair looked as if...well, as if I hadn't even showered! I thought, maybe I forgot to apply it...? Next time I showered, I used it again...and it looked like I hadn't used any product at all. Complete frizz. I checked the ingredient list in comparison to my empty bottle and...sure enough, some of the ingredients have changed! This gel does not work any more for my hair. I guess I'll try their other gel, but why, WHY did they have to go and change this formula? Sad!

Hair just finished drying, and I just finished the last step in the directions listed on the product bottle... I am still in disbelief.I spontaneously decided to DIY perm my naturally pin-straight Asian hair last week and since have been realizing i am so unprepared to manage curly hair. I bought some cult favorite products (Curl Smoothie, Pantene Curl Gel, etc) before landing on this gel by Devacurl, and none of the others defined and tamed my hair like this. I was convinced that i didn’t properly set some strands of my perm and that they were just going to be demaged and straight. After using this light gel and following the directions (apply evenly to soaking hair, scrunch with a microfiber towel, dry without touching (!!), then upward scrunch the crunchiness away for soft curls. Did all of the following and i can see every wave and Curl i set in my home perm, giving me back hope that i didn’t totally screw up my hair.TBH i used devacurl last bc i thought it would only work on natural curls and bc it’s a salon product and harder to get than drugstore products. I was totallllyyytt wrong and think this is better for artificial curls more than anything!Totally obsessed, i want to marry it.

I hated my curly hair, it would always just turn to fluff within a couple hours of styling. I mean fluffy to the point people would attempt to pet my head. After trying the deva curl product I’m learning to embrace my curls. They are defined and soft, full of movement. I get compliments all the time now, and I’m feeling better about wearing my natural curves. I previously used Shae Moisture, but my curls weren’t nearly as defined. Make sure you leave some of their conditioner in, squeeze the water out of your hair, blot with a microfiber towel then add enough gel that when your hair dries it’s crunchy. Once completely dry scrunch out the product. You are left with soft defined hair all day.Downside: takes forever to dry. Get a diffuser and set aside sometime.

I have used Deva Curl off and on since 2001. I used to love it. However, something changed in the product when the company has been sold. The products have caused me general hair loss for a few years, and this product in particular has caused me more severe hair loss, particularly in the areas I would use this daily to refresh. Don’t use Deva Curl.After discovering that this may be the reason for my hair loss, I discovered a Facebook group with over 3400 people who have hair loss, scalp issues, and hair breakage all from Deva Curl. I am most definitely not alone.I know it’s Deva Curl because when I stopped the products completely and shampooed with a shampoo with sulfates, the next showers only had a half of the amount of hair loss I had previously been used to.

I love all Devacurl products. They have really changed my hair for the best. This gel locks in moisture, hydrates hair, and controls frizz while also leaving my hair soft. NO CRUNCHY tecture.

This is the only product that actually takes my curls and keeps them non frizzy all day. I am however searching for an alternative because it’s way too expensive for what it is

I absolutely love this gel! My hair is naturally curly with loose curls and ringlets and I recently got a hair cut which completely ruined my curls due to bad techniques on my hair type. Since then no curly product has really worked on my hair like it used to apart from this!!! I heard lots of amazing things about this gel on lots of different curl types and despite the price I decided to buy it and it hasn’t disappointed me at all! Has an amazing smell and the bottle is huge so should last me ages, I put quite a lot of this gel on to form a cast and to not get any frizz and it really did help my curls form into ringlets again! When your hair is dry it will feel crunchy which is a good sign for me as it means it has created a strong cast, but when you fluff your hair back out it feels extremely soft and looks gorgeous! Would very highly recommend!

I bought this as it was cheaper than buying the smaller bottle of ultra defining gel that I already have and love. My friend who has an afro had recommended that to me and so I thought with me having totally different hair type that this would be better. It doesn't really hold my hair, it doesn't reduce frizz, it doesn't look as curly as if I put nothing in it. I regret my decision and will be buying the ultra defining gel next time!

Finally I have my curls back. It’s really the only gel that works for me. I have2c waves but with this gel I actually have curls and volume!! It’s a must for me!

I have curly hair. I’m always looking for a great curls definer. Used this one and leaves my dry!It doesn’t help my curls !It’s in my cupboard kept !Never buy again!
