Light means light
Review by Danielle C. on 5 Jan 2025 review stating Light means light
It's been a while since I've used devacurl so I wanted to try again. I thought I usually bought light but this is way different from what I remembered. It didn't give the definition I hoped for so I'll be buying the ultra.

This product seems to not hold or work like it has in the past. Disappointing.

Light Defining Gel
Review by Connie C. on 12 Nov 2024 review stating Light Defining Gel
I was replenishing this product that I love and have used for several years. I was a little concerned when the gel itself seemed thinner than previous purchases but it still seems to work.
