Love It!
I was browsing Ulta for some new hair care products and came across NYM line! I can honestly say that this stuff is amazing, especially for the price point. My hair is very coarse, curly and needs moisture; this product gave me definition and moisture. Definitely recommend this brand

Works but makes hair really dry
It works on my curls but it made my hair dry like straw. My hair looks like crispy noodles. I just wish it wasn't so drying.

Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Frizz Control Sculpting Gel is a lightweight, flexible-hold gel that enhances curl definition while controlling frizz without leaving hair crunchy or sticky. I appreciate its ability to provide soft, bouncy curls, though some with tighter curl patterns find the hold too light. It works best when scrunched into damp hair and can be paired with other Curl Talk products for added moisture and definition. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking for a non-crunchy gel, but results may vary depending on hair type and styling technique.

This gel is perfect for defining my curls without the crunch. It controls frizz all day and gives my hair a soft, bouncy feel. A little goes a long way, and it layers well with other products. Smells amazing too—definitely a new staple in my curl routine!
may work for some, not me
i was excited to use this gel because i love the not your mothers line! the first time i used it, i got some nice definition! but my curly felt very dry. the second time i used it, my hair was all frizzy, little to no definition, and it was VERY dry. i thought it was just my hair, but i washed my hair and tried my curly routine without it and it felt way better. unfortunately, too drying for my 3a/b curls :(
A good choice!

In terms of gel, this is a safe option. It holds my curls well and keeps the texture safe from the Florida humidity. I really like the fresh, lemony scent this product has. It is VERY sticky though, more sticky than other gels in my experience so that is something to note!
Better options out there

Fact of the matter is, there are better products out there this just didn't do it for me
