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. If you would like a personalized recommendation based on your hair type and needs, we encourage you to contact our social media team. They will be more than happy to assist you on your hair care journey and ensure you have a delightful experience!Was this answer helpful to you

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

Really wanted to like it :(
I was super excited about the new line and really wanted to like the gel but after giving it a week, I am ready to throw in the towel. From the first time I used it, I noticed my hair was more dry and frizzy than with other gels I had been using. I also have type 2b-2c hair and noticed that I didn't...

A pretty good gel

Overall, I enjoy this gel. The hold is definitely on the lighter side (for reference, I have thick curls). I normally do a wash & go with gels, but since the hold wasn't strong, I tried a twist out. It left my hair surprisingly soft and didn't have a cast at all. The smell is fine and to me, doesn't really linger as the days go on. It's not too bad of a gel and would probably work great for those with looser curls.
Drying but defining

When first opening the product, I love the packaging and the smell is amazing. However when applying to my hair it dried in a hardened cast and when seperated felt very drying! My curls are defined but Not a big fan of this

I think this gel is pretty good quality for the price. It's not too heavy but I don't think i can use it everyday because my hair type is super thin. The smell isn't too overwhelming.
It was okay

I really prefer a stronger hold with my curls, but this was an okay strength. I still experienced a lot of frizz and I didn't see much curl definition. There definitely wasn't any crunch or stiff feel which was nice.
One of my favorites!

This is one of my favorite hair gels for curls! It's got just enough hold to prevent frizz and maintain shape but not so much that it weighs hair down. It's pretty lightweight and glides over curl clumps easily without pulling. It smells good too! My curl pattern is pretty loose though (3a ish) so curlier hair types may have different experiences.
