    This product was good, left my hair with volume, good curls :) But what most people are complaining about.. is right, if they did not mix the gel with a leave in conditioner.. I washed off a little of the One conditioner and it looks great.. I also applied the gel. Deva Salon teaches you how to use it properly.

    After reading other reviews, i have to sya that I was very disappointed with this product. The ingredients looked promising. But, this produtc didn;t do anything (for me) that it promised to do. My hair was sticky, crunchy, undefined and really dry. I was baffled because my hair was really curly right after I washed it before I put this in it. It took a few washes for my hair to recover.

    I am a lover of the DevaCurl line, but this just didn't do it for me. I have super super thick 2c-3a hair... on a good day it works and gives me good definition but ONLY if I use it with Mixed Chicks Leave in and revive with a spritz of water.... Otherwise my hair can be flat, crunchy and on the worst days...poufy and dry.

    I really liked what this did for my hair but I had an extreme breakout/allergic reaction when using this and didn't figure out the product was causing it for a week. Used about 3 handfuls of the gel about a half dollar size each and distributed through towel dried hair (shoulder length, 3b). Would love it if my skin wasn't so sensitive!

    I love this stuff! I have very fine 3A curls and I've been searching for the right gel. I use this gel mixed half and half with the lavender mist recipe in the book "Curly Girl". Put it in a spray bottle and it gives me just enough hold and makes my curls look great.

    I was so excited to finally have these deva products everyone has been raving about but it did nothing for my hair. It somehow managed to relax the curl so I had no curl definition and the texture of my hair somehow managed to be frizzy and crunchy at the same time.

    Because Deva products are water based you need to use more product so the hair absorbs all the moisture. Most gels coat the hair so you have to use less or you'll flake.

    I think this may be the worst gel i've ever used.... it left my hair icky, not very defined and very frizzy. For $18 i think i should be given better results. I've heard some good things about Deva but so far it's not going too well for me.

    I like the herbal scent of this product and the fact that it feels very clean, but it does dry crunchy on my hair, even when paired w/ a leave-in. After my hair drys completey I can scrunch out the crunch and my hair is shiny and mostly frizz-free. Alot is needed tho and it is not cheap stuff.

    Oh my goodness gracious. This is HANDS DOWN the best product my curls have EVER seen. After applying and letting my hair air dry half way and finish drying with a diffuser my hair felt and looked like it had no product at all in it. My curls were SO WELL defined and lacked any frizz. I bought the 12 oz bottle to start and immediately went back to "Ulta" and bought the larger size!

    It worked great for 2 days possibly becaue I had heavily conditioned my hair with Olive oil overnight. 3rd day I followed all the same steps (except Olive Oil) and my hair is dry and brittle on the canopy- it looks dull and lifeless... what is going on?

    I have a combination of fine 3b/c hair and walked for 50 minutes today in humid NJ weather (dew point 62 degrees). It was great! I tried it on the the curliest part of my head an it was completely unaffected. It has been 3 days since my last conditioner rinse, so the true test will be to see how it holds up on day 1.

    I really had high hopes for this gel and I actually liked the smell and the light weight feel of it. When I first used it my hair looked nice but I noticed there were some stiff parts and when it fully dried it look like I had nothing in my hair. It was just frizzy and unbrushable. I like to brush my hair before I shower but when I tried brushing, it tangled so bad that I had to cut a tangle out of my hair!!! Not using this again.

    I really like AnGell. My 3C curls respond very well to it, but I *have* to use B'Leave-In *and* another conditioner as a leave-in with it, or I get too dry. And if I use to much, my curls get weighed down, the top of my hair goes flat and sort of ropey. I have fine textured hair with a lot of volume (more hair per square inch of head than most stylists have ever seen), and my hair is currently just brushing my shoulders wet, drying to my jawbone. I use about a tablespoon for my whole head, concentrating on the length, not the roots. It works great for me - expensive, but good!

    I've been using this for a while, believing what lorraine massey, in her hoity toity accent, said about the products being "botanical." I discovered that it contains DMDM hydantoin, a preservative that actually releases formaldehyde into the product. How that is beneficial for curls I don't know. I'm angered, and I'm never using expensive Deva products again.

    I've tried this product again and again, with and without conditioner underneath, with OneCondition and also with other conditioners, and I just can't get consistently good results. Two curls for its ability to reduce or eliminate frizz for me and for the great shine, softness and curl definition for the first few hours after having applied the it. After that my curls get slightly "big" though still defined. But by the end of the day my hair is dried out and looks coated with some whitish powdery stuff all over it and is terribly tangly, and I'm forced to shampoo a couple of times to get it out.

    This product smells incredible and everytime I wore it, people would ask me, "what perfume are you wearing?" However, it didn't hold any curl for me and I needed something stronger. My hair is on the thicker side and I have a feeling it responds much differently on fine/thin hair.

    I plopped down a chunk of change for this gel and the Angell conditioner and the No poo. I had high expectations based on what the salesperson told me. Too bad for me. This is a sticky and unwieldy gel. It doesn't coat my hair shaft and leaves my hair feeling dry and brittle. I've tried it for a month now, styled it many different ways (air-dry, diffuse, blow dry). It's not worth the money. I recommend Ouidad over this gel any day.

    Sadly, I was disappointed with this product. My curls had good definition, but they were very stiff and crusty! The next morning, the stiffiness did go away with some wetting and re-styling. But who wants to wait until day two for a product to work? I've tried mixing it with other products to see if the crustiness goes away. No luck here.

    I'd really like to give this gel 2 and a half curls. I'll probably use up the bottle, but this made my hair curlier than usual (which is not what I was going for) and left me with more halo-frizz than usual. My hair got bigger than I like it to, also. I am really disappointed becuase I thought I would love this product given how much many other culies do and given that I like One Condition a lot. I'll experiement with using different amounts of the gel.

    I love this product! It smells great, is never sticky or crunchy, and leaves my curls feeling soft. Also, the control is great. If you have thinner hair, you might want to try something that doesn't weigh your hair down quite as much, but i liked the control it gave me.

    I have such horrible results from this stuff! I love the smell, but my hair frizzes horribly! I let my hair air dry, maybe that is why, but it has very little hold and my hair looks like a before commercial.

    I felt the need to re-review this product. While I still think it's a great gel, some days it doesn't give me enough hold or frizz control as I need.

    Very good. Smells lovely (like all the Devacurl products) and with good hold without the crunch. Best so far.

    Love this gel, gives me soft shiny curls and keeps frizz at bay. Wasn't convinced at first but the key was leaving in all my One Condition and scrunching in more gel than I normally would. On second day hair I'll run a little water over my canopy and then a tiny amount of Angell to get rid of halo frizz, also with good results!

    Unfortunately for me, this has ultra, ultra light hold. I live in humid SW Florida and this just didn't hold up. In order to use it and have a good day, I have to pair it with some Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee... and well, that's just not cost effective. There are definitely better gels out there. This one smells DELICIOUS, though! I WISH the One Conditioner smelled like the Angell...

    Gives pretty good curls and cuts down on frizz, but feels terrible. If I use very little, it's not bad, but the good effects are lessened, as well. Use enough and my hair feels like it's full of gunk. The next morning it is even worse and I can't wait to shampoo!

    This took a little getting used to. It's very light and has less hold than the other products I had been using. I find myself having to use a lot in order to get the look I want. That said, this is a terrific product. It leaves me with defined, non-crunchy, shiny curls. I wish it had a little more hold to keep frizz at bay longer, but it's still a winner. I will definitely repurchase!

    If it hadn't been for this gel, I would have completely given up on gels period. Every other gel had always left my hair crunchy and stiff,incl.Biolage. I absolutely LOVE Angell! My hair is on the finer side and more wavy then curly, so it gave definition to my hair without weighing it down. It's light, easy to apply, and smells fab! Definitely a HG for me. :D

    This did not work in my hair at all. I have type 3B hair and it left my hair frizzy and poufy even after using alot of it. I am sticking with Ouidad Climate Control.

    I felt the need to re-review this product..Bought it again and I really like it now. I found out how much to use from the devachan folks and love the smell...no greasy look...don't know what happened in the last review...it is a soft hold and I do have to mix it with a bit of firm hold clear gel or an Aloe Vera Gel..I would re-purchase this...the price is good.

    The best gel I've ever used. No crunchiness or flaking. I have a very dry sensitive scalp, and I don't have any problems using this product at all.

    This is the only gel that gives me decent curl definition with little stickiness. I LOVE the whole DevaCurl line, because I can get great curls without buying a whole mess of products... just conditioner and gel and I'm out the door! Bravo!

    I like this gel--it gives good curl formation and controls frizz without leaving my hair sticky, crunchy, or wet looking. Its hold is pretty light, though, so my hair could get a bit fluffy during humid Texas summers or a bit droopy during cold, dry winter weather.
