DevaCurl Light Defining Gel Soft Hold No-Crunch Styler, Bright Breeze, 32 fl. oz.

Excellent gel! both my husband and i use it. it has a great citrus kind of smell. i can use it for soft bouncing curls without hardening! works best paired with microfiber towel!

Didn’t like this product at first - it is very watery , not really a gel but after several uses it does hold curl nicely and is not sticky when scrunched

I found this stuff about 10 years ago when a stylist who specializes in Curly Girl styles used it on my hair. Oh my god!!! I had soft, full ringlets for DAYS. If you follow the directions (i.e. drying hair gently with a diffuser or air drying, using a generous amount of product, and protecting it with a satin cap at night), you will be thrilled with the results! When it is dry, the curls are soft and not crunchy. Best if used from a few inches from the scalp to the ends. Once you put it on, LEAVE IT ALONE and let it dry. You can use clips to lift areas if you feel the need. Resist messing with it, and it will form casts around your curls. One thing though: you can't comb though it after it dries. It will make your hair feel bushy and you will lose the curl. Wish I'd have known about this stuff when I was younger!

I used to love my light hold gel, I haven't bought the large bottle before, but found a great sale, so went for the larger container instead. I think they changed the product, it is runny and doesn't hold well.

This gel has been the absolute best. I have wavy curly hair and had a difficult time finding a gel that really worked well with me. This is light enough to keep the waves and has no crunch. It leaves my hair soft while holding curls all day. The scent is quite nice too. I’m so glad I tried it.Other reviewers have mentioned that this gel may not “play well with other stylers.” I used this with Briogio curl charisma leave in definer cream, and I’m having the best hair days ever. So I hope this helps. I plan to buy the definer prep lotion from this same line and see how that goes.
