Instantly made hair dry
After washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, I rewet my hair and put in a leave-in conditioner leaving my hair feeling soft and moisturized as it should, but as soon as I applied this product my hair instantly became dry and sucked the moisture out. (Before applying this product, my hair was ...

Tried and true
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I've used this product off and on for years. It's relatively affordable for the amount of use you get out of it. It smells nice and does a good job of holding waves when it's applied to damp hair.
I would NOT buy this product again
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I bought this to help with the frizz that has kind of taken over my curls. I am very disappointed with it. First off it did not do a thing to minimize the frizz and make my curls defined. Second it is very sticky and creates a weird texture instead on my hair. The only thing it DOES do is it smells good.
The one NYM product I don't like
I have tried this curl creme many times throughout the years, and it never seems to really do anything for my hair. It's weird because it feels thick in my hands, but then my hair absorbs it immediately like its a lightweight product. It doesnt seem to hydrate my hair, more product doesnt help and just weighs down curls also leaving them greasy. It seemed to straighten out my curls more then define them, and I always had to use other products like gel or mousse, but not having used a good creme it left my hair frizzy. I tried using this product in so many ways it just never worked out for me. The ingredients are good though, so to not waste product I put this in with the NYM leave in conditioner and throw my hair in some braids when I'm not in the mood to style.
My daughter loves this product
Great product
I buy this hair cream every time i run out.
Hair Type Wavy Hair
this really defines and moisturizes curls, and if you had to buy any curl cream, i'd say to buy this one. they also have hair gel, and mousse, and all together they make your hair look like perfect ringlets. i have mildly curly hair, but this makes my hair look extremely curly.
