DevaCurl Ultra Defining Hair Gel, 12oz

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS! I've been using DevaCurl hair gel for 10 years and love the way it looks great from day one to day five, and even holds up for a couple of days in humid weather. I've been buying from different sources, including Amazon. This time I ordered from a company called Gold Fulfillment. For some reason the gel just didn't work. Only the ends of my hair were a bit stiff, and by the next day it was as if I'd used no product whatsoever. I kept trying since this has always been a wonderful product, and kept slathering on more. Finally I called the manufacturer to see if they had changed the formula. They said that the formula is the same, but they've been getting complaints from people who've bought on Amazon. Apparently somebody is adulterating or counterfeiting this product. Oops! They said to be sure to only buy from authorized resellers, so I checked out my other supplier and they're on the list. This is very upsetting, since I buy a huge amount of stuff on Amazon, and rely on the reviews to make good choices, and also appreciate the integrity of Amazon itself. I have had only good experiences with their system, and would hate to see trust destroyed by counterfeit products. And this is hair gel, for #**@# (crying out loud), it's not like needing to be careful buying an expensive electronic item. So curly girls, here's a heads up to keep those curls on your head gorgeous!. We know how dependent we are on our hair products, we curlies spend more on hair products than anybody else. DevCurl makes great stuff, I'm hooked, just have to check out the suppliers.

Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! (and Gentleman) You CANNOT and i mean cannot go wrong with this gel! I have type 4 hair - 4a ish in the back in my “kitchen” and 4b everywhere else. Now with this being said my wash and goes gotta be on point and it did just that! This officialy replaced my wash and go with my eco styler. My curls are popping and looking juicy! However just beware that if you have thick LONG hair this “trial travel size” aint for you! See here’s the secret - go to bed bath and beyond and they have the no name brand and catch is, they both have the same ingredients so one youre saving money and getting the product.The bottle i got was $11.99 for a 12 oz while this was $10 for 3oz which sounds crazy! Anywho i did my wash n go in the shower with a amazing non foggy mirror (also from bb&b) and did a slicing method (put product in your hands and slap your hair in between and slide down) and boom! Curls Poppington!Go getchu some!

Hate to give this a 1 star. The product is normally 5 stars. Buy this product from the DevaCurl site NOT Amazon. My wife uses DevaCurl and loves it. She found it here on Amazon for $14 cheaper so she bought it here. Apparently it's a knock off one. She went back to the one from DevaCurl themselves and her hair came out "perfect" as she says. Next day, she used the one from Amazon and says "it's crap! I would have been better off not using any product today."Yes, buying from DevaCurl site is slightly more money but well worth it because that way you actually get real product not some knock off with god only knows what's really in it!!

When I first applied it I was not happy because my hair became so hard and it gave me flashbacks of my cheap La Looks gel days. Well I looked at tips on youtube and they recommend your hair be fully wet. So instead of using a spray bottle I put my head under the sink. Applied gel while hair was damp and when it dried it looked and felt great. I will continue buying this product. I don't like their prices but the products are magical

I absolutely love this product! Finally after all these years of looking for a product that will hold my curls and reduce frizz, my curls have never looked better!

I know others swear by this gel, but I have reservations about it. I will admit with a wash and go, including diffusing my wet wavy hair, my hair did look perfect. It had shine, bounce and wicked waves. I was very happy. The problem I had came the day after. My hair was hard, tangled, dry and looked nothing like the day before, even after putting my hair up at night before going to bed and using a satin pillow! The 3rd day was even worse, and so on. Every day I had to totally wet my hair and using the LOC method but using a different curly girl product. I couldn't wait to wash my hair again. I will give it to Deva Curl that maybe I used too much gel, but I don't think so. IMO

IT WORKS MIRACLES ON MY VERY CURLY THICK HAIR!!! I frequently get complemented on my hair Whenever I use this product. It forms a cast over each curl then when it dries it disappears - zero residue or flakiness. It leaves you with thick beautiful defined shiny hair that makes you feel great. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. I usually buy drug store hair products but I happily make an exception for deva curl.

I would give this 0 stars if I could. I've been using Deva products for awhile and decided to invest in a large bottle. First of all, this smells NOTHING like the genuine product. I had some left over of an old bottle I purchased from the salon, and they smell completely different. The consistency is even different. Really disappointed.

LOVE THIS GOD SEND PROduct NEED MORE!!!!!! But too expensive. Whyyyh...EDIT.DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. PRODUCT. THIS BRAND HAS RUINED THOUSANDS OF GIRLS HAIR INCLUDING MY OWN. DO. NOT. BUY. DEVA CURL IS A TOXIC AND HAIR DAMAGING BRAND.

My daughter has very curly hair (just past her shoulders) and this is the only product that makes her hair look manageable and nice looking. I can always tell if she runs out of this product because her hair will look dry and messy. I have just received the new bottle for her and am pleased that there is actually a product that works. It is difficult for her as her hair has always been an issue and she has spent a small fortune on products only for them to land up in the bin. It is best to save up for this than spend money on products that don't define and moisten your curls and leave your hair looking beautiful.It is expensive but it is worth it.

I wrote a similar review for another Deva product because I don't know which one is responsible. I have thick, curly, coarse, unruly hair and having checked on the Deva website, identified this was one suited to my hair. The same day I used it, along with one for waves and the poo shampoo & conditioner, my scalp became unusually irritated. I went online to check and discovered there are lawsuits in the US complaining of irritated scalps, hair loss, change in the curls and waves of users. I won't be using Deva again.

I have been using this brand for a few years. It used to be brilliant. Has always been expensive but worked well on my curly flyaway hair. I think the formula must have been changed. The last two bottles of this product has left my hair hard and dry. It feels sticky, smells different, upsets my eyes, doesn't hold the curls, frizz is back within a couple of hours of using it and my hair has become very dry. Sadly I won't be buying it again.

I've used this about three times now, just to give out a proper chance.However, this product makes my curly/wavey hair feel very dry and straw-like with no shine. So disappointed as it gets a lot of hype and created by the author of The curly girl method, which I follow. Boucleme is much better for my hair type...
