Fragrance-free Deva Curl Defining Gel Alternative?

[AndyJFS]

Can anyone please recommend a fragrance-free hair gel for curly hair to replace DevaCurl Fragrance-free Ultra Defining Gel? Thanks.

I like AG re:coil & combine w/ a bit of olaplex leave in conditioner or AG one, also seal split ends & baby hairs w/ ola plex or similar every other wash or so. I like to put some dry oil throughout to add shine as well, or refresh 2nd day hair. But I LOVE recoil- my mom has thick wavy hair & loves it, & mine is longer but also thick & more coily/wavy... it works great for both of us. Can't rec. it more! (Also like Philip Kingsley curl mask you apply pre-shower, & wash out). Deva curl isn't good bc promotes not shampooing hair & you HAVE to use a good clarifying shampoo occasionally to get all the curl product & hair tamers fully washed out of hair & scalp... otherwise promotes improper growth of yeast & bacteria & other micro fauna on scalp... also, product can build up on hair & weigh down individual hairs, leading to breakage & hair loss... over time, both issues can cause unhealthy scalp & irritation leading to hair loss & slower/weakened hair growth. 
The "curly girl method" is what deva curl was based on, & it doesn't promote shampoo use... which is NOT backed by science/dermatologists- that's why they had class action lawsuits & were discontinued... (it's not inherently bad, or bad for everyone... it's just an approach that's much more likely/easy to cause probs, which can be serious, & cause them in a lot more ppl than typical products).

Also, make sure you see derm. yearly & you can ask abt personalized recs, hair/scalp issues, thoughts abt products, & professional insights, etc. (Plus can get checked for skin cancer- Do it!! &, make sure they check ur scalp! It's important to go YEARLY & get full body Checked... Even if have darker/melanin-rich skin).  

Be healthy, safe, & curly!

@AndyJFS I haven't used it but I'm pretty sure Curlsmith makes one they just don't sell it at Sephora.
