All the other curl type products that I've used leaves my curls looking stringy. Will this gel and the NYM line of products help with this? Ive spent so much money trying to keep this from happening with no luck so far. I want a nice hold, defined curls, no frizz and fluffy curls.

- Q
when using this product on wet hair, when it dries will it still have the wet hair look and not poof out?
- Asked by Sav
- Official Answer By Not Your Mother's - BEHi there! Thank you for reaching out! Yes, when using gel on wet hair, it is generally expected that the wet look will persist until the gel is completely dry. This can help shape and set the hairstyle, preventing the hair from frizzing. The effectiveness may vary depending on the amount used and hair type.

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.

It's not for everyone
I have very frizzy hair and the first time I used this product my hair was still frizzy after drying. The second time I used it, my hair wasn't as frizzy but because of the amount of product I had to use my curls were weighed down and it only lasted to day 3, my curls can usually last to day 6. It also feels very watery and kind of like hand sanitizer. But it does smell delicious.
So far so good
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've used this gel a few times already and really like it so far. I have curly hair that gets super frizzy without the right products and this one works really good. Plus the price point is excellent and the ingredients aren't too bad either.
My absolute favorite gel
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Works well in my fine wavy 2b-3a hair, especially when diffused. Can be used with leave in, curl cream, or mousse depending on preference for my texture.
Works nicely
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I've bought this product maybe 3 times and they work very nicely. I have like 3B 3C hair and the gel makes my curls last quite well. It doesn't make my hair super crunchy which I love and it doesn't have a bad smell. It was actually so good I had to buy the bigger size so I would never run out. No complaints.
ehhhh
i cant really tell if it worked. i dont know if its because i didn't use the mousse? or if its because it was too lightweight. but it didnt necessarily show me that it worked. It curled yes but it clumped my hair together and would frizz if i tried to separate curls. I would use something else if you have 4b/4c hair!!!
