SKIP THE CRUNCH
Definition without the crunch. This non-flaking formula with a curl-locking blend provides a non-sticky curl cast that enhances shape, fights frizz, and amplifies shine and bounce.
Light 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.
It’s all about the hold! Light Defining Gel gives soft hold and Ultra Defining Gel gives strong hold. Choose the one that’s right for you based on how much hold you’re looking for.
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.
Dermatologist Co-Developed
Our formulas are dermatologist co-developed, backed by science and stylist approved for curls.
Only The Good Stuff
Everything your curls need, and nothing they don't. Because we know curls.

It’s hard to write a review when the gel never got here! Let I heard it was delayed because of weather. That was late January!

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.
