Light defining gel too thin
Review by Mary S. on 3 Jul 2024 review stating Light defining gel too thin
I have been a DevaCurl customer & fan for a few years now and was a fan of the light defining gel. When I recently received a new bottle, it is very thin….almost watery….and doesn’t protect against frizz at all. Did the formula change??
