I wanted to like it. The smell is good but it really did nothing for my hair despite doing everything the "right" way. It didn't hold it and it seemed to make it dull. Won't buy again. Actually,...

I purchase this from a beauty supply store in my local mall in the giant professional size wIith a pump because I go through so much! I follow the CG method somewhat half-baked (washing with...

This gel smelled like a nice citrus melange--like Fresh's Lemon Sugar EDT. While it did not dry my curly hair, it was not moisturizing, and while it was not crunchy, it did not provide much hold. ...

I had initially posted a negative review based upon the results the first time I tried it. But, I decided to try it again, using it EXACTLY as Lorraine Massey describes in her book Curly Girl. ...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gel. I used to use Redken's Crystal Curls, which I liked, but I will not repurchase that because Redken tests on animals. I got this product from a friend who has really...

I really wanted to like it. I have naturally wavy hair. I followed the directions and it made my hair fuzzy, frizzy, and it felt really dry. My hair is normally dry but this makes it worse. It...

I bought this, because Loraine Massey helped to develop it. Until I read her book, Curly Girl, I disliked my wavy, frizzy hair. I read the book, followed its directions and POOF! soo many people...

This is okay in that it doesn't leave your hair crunchy but it doesn't have enough hold for my hair. My hair was soft and shiny but still on the wayward side. I think I will use rest of the line...

I was recommended this product by a co-worker that works in a beauty supply store and honestly I thought maybe she knew what she was talking about. I have curly hair (not the tight curl kind) and...

This gel does wonders for my noncommittal curly hair. I have very thick, coarse hair, and it used to be very curly, but as it grew out it relaxed into waves. When I scrunch the gel into my hair...

Overall, not a bad product. It's a light gel that won't leave your hair tacky or crunchy. However, when I used this product alone I find that it does nothing for frizz, has very little hold and...

This is the first gel I've used that disappeared into my hair, spectacular texture! Some gels, like Korres' Lime Styling Gel and Redken's Ringlet were not only too heavy for my hair but I had to...

This is a nice curly-hari gel overall, but not significantly better than other cheaper brands I've tried. I don't like the smell, which I'm finding is the case with all DevaCurl products, although...

I got my fine, curly hair cut by a DevaCurl person who told me the routine: to put this gel on my hair when still wet, blot dry with an old T-shirt or towel, set curls and let it alone. I've given...

Love this product! Calms down my unruly curls and makes them look pretty and manageable. You definitely need to follow the instructions to get that result, however. You're supposed to coat your...

I've bought this a couple of times in conjunction with other DevaCurl products. This is an okay gel, but frankly the DevaCare ArcAngell blows this out of the water, particularly if you find the...

It is the best curl activator I have ever used!!! I love the definition it gives to my hair. My hair is something between 3c and 4a, but it is texturized and seems more like 3b, 3c. It is also...

I strayed from this and I'm sorry I did. I love this gel. My hair is 2a to 3a, depending on the weather and this gel gives just enough hold without getting crunchy or weighing my hair down. It...

No hold and my hair just felt plain sticky after using it. I had to wash my shoulders and the nape of my neck because of the stickiness and then ended up washing it out of my hair completely after...

I'm still baffled as to why anyone likes this product. I have medium-thick, curly-to-wavy, coarse (porous) color-treated hair. This reminds me of old-fashioned Dippity-Do at six times the price. ...
