Most Helpful Positive Review This stuff is amazing I was skeptical about this product at first because the only thing that really came to mind that could speed up drying my hair would be alcohol, and I was willing to try the product but wasn't sure what my hair would feel like afterward. My hair is super thick, I can wash it, shirt-dry it for 20 minutes, drive the 40 minutes to work in the morning and it's still pretty much soaked minus the very ends. If I wash it before bed and put it on my satin hair cap... it's still completely wet in the morning, except for the ends. I followed the directions for this, as it says, put my satin cap on and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and it was 100% dry. Not only that but my hair was SO soft, my curls looked -amazing- and kept their shape and looked good all day (it was Christmas Eve, and I work at a church so I was running around quite a bit) with only using this before bed, and then the Not Your Mother's Royal Honey Leave-In Conditioner - literally, nothing else. Needless to say, I'm impressed, and I am so happy I found NYM and this product!
Most Helpful Critical Review Meh. I had high hopes for this because I used to use In a Heartbeat and LOVED it. Now that I'm working from home I've been trying to give my hair a break from the heat styling.. hoped this would speed it up. I didn't really notice a difference in the amount of time it took to air dry my hair with this. It may have helped with frizz but not enough to blow me away. I'm not particularly fond of the scent. I'll finish this bottle but wouldn't buy again.

Amazing product. It simply does what it says. Speeds up dry time, while making your hair a little smoother/conditioned. Scent is pleasant as well. It's become a staple in my routine & I will always be stocked up with this!
Smells nice but doesn't work 3
CB from Phoenix
This smells great, but I was looking to speed up air drying time on my curly hair and this didn't seem to do that.
Love the formula 4
Allhunny from MS
I tried others, left my hair frizzy or weighed down. This one, air dry took 3-4 hours on my hair, but no frizz for two days and 2nd day was rainy! Made my hair wavy. Love smell. Took off one star because NYM need to redesign nozzle, doesn't spray well half the time, had to spray in hands and run through my hair. Still buy it!
The bottle 3
Liz from Connecticut
I think the product did help my hair dry faster with or without heat. The problem is the bottle. It's hard to get the product out of and clogs easily.
Meh. 3

lil gracie 666 from tx
i have thick long hair so i wasn't expecting a miracle or anything but as someone who does not even own a blow dryer i was just hoping maybe it could shave like an hour off my (usually hours-long) dry time. i don't really notice a big difference. it smells good though.
I would buy this product again and again. 5
Awesome hair from Pennsylvania
My hair at drys way faster but even better it looks great when it does dry. No frizz and nice volume. I love this spray!
Such a great product! 5
Kenna from Chicago, Illinois
I air dry my hair 90% of the time because I don't have time and don't want to further damage my highlighted hair. I never love the way my hair looks air dried until I tried this. I have tried other higher end products that claim to do the same thing but didn't work for me. This dries my hair quick and makes my waves look amazing!
Just ok 3
peas from Florida
Did speed up drying time but not a significant amount of time to even talk about. I did not like the smell of this product.
I am on my second bottle, i love it so much! 5
Mbsprad from Walnut Ridge, AR
I love to let my hair air dry and this helps my hair not be so frizzy and dry so much faster.
Loved this!! 5
Morgan C. from Fort Walton Beach FL
This stuff is amazing...I usually always just let my hair air dry and this sped up the process and left my hair feeling so soft and it smells so good. Not your mothers is one hair line that I love for the price and quality will def buy again
It's a Miracle! 5
lgallubaltz from Frankfort, Kentucky
I am absolutely in love with this product, it does exactly what it claims to, dries your hair in almost half the time. My hair is really thick and long, usually takes hours to dry, using this maybe 2 to air dry at the most.
Worth it! 5
Jae from NC
Honestly, I didn't even know a product like this existed. Coming from someone who rarely ever puts heat to their hair, this is a lifesaver. I pumped a few sprays into my hair before putting it up into a towel and my hair was dry in a little over an hour. I'm excited to add this to my hair routine!
The only air dry product that works for me! 5
Sarar from District of Columbia
I have naturally wavy hair-- and a lot of it-- but I always blew it out because I just could not get it to air dry nicely. First off, it took forever to dry. And then the result was an uneven frizzy mess. I've tried pretty much every expensive air dry and quick dry product out there. This is the only one that works for me, and it does an amazing job. My hair dries quickly -- it even dries when it's pulled up, which is unheard of. The fact that it will dry while I have it up helps immensely with the frizz. The result is really soft, smooth, frizz-free hair. This has been a real game changer for me. I'm not sure how this would work in fine hair though, since it's fairly heavy.
Actually works! 4
Alex from Butler County, PA
I let my hair sit in a towel for a while, then I spray this all over my head and flip my head up and down a couple times. Normal my hair will take HOURS to fully dry and about an hour to fully blow dry my hair. This product makes my hair be able to dry in about an hour and be blow dried in about twenty minutes. My little sister has course kinky wavy hair and her hair is a nightmare to dry, she used this spray one day and loved it. She said it helps her hair dry quicker and makes it less poofy!
Does exactly what it says it does 5
Alex from Alhambra, CA
I have a lot of hair! It's super frizzy and wavy. I typically don't let it air dry because It takes the whole day and I end up looking like a lion 🦁 but with this Part Time Air Dry Accelerator is amazing. My hair dries fast and it doesn't frizz. I'm so happy I made this purchase. This spray does wonders for my hair.
Did not work for me 1
Mrs Pooh from Atlanta ga
I have course wavy hair. This product did nothing for it..it dried bushy and frizzy and it did NOT dry quickly. Took at least 3 hours. . My husband did say it had a nice sheen!
NYM brand is Wonderful 5
ChrisK from York
This brand is my new go to for the past 2 years. Follow directions or as needed for your hair type/length and you can't go wrong. They all smell so nice and conditioner a leave hair so soft.
Worked 5
Jess from New Jersey
I normally air dry my hair and I have very long and thick hair but this worked amazing and dried my hair faster then it woulda without the spray!!!
Love this product!! 5
Maddie from Kansas City
I tried this on a whim and am sooo glad I did!! I have very thick hair and dread washing it because of the drying process. This truly speeds up the process! It isn't heavy or greasy so it won't cause additionally oil if applied near the roots. Leaves my hair so soft and smells amazing. I was a lifelong "It's a 10" leave in conditioner fan but honestly might like this better (and it's a fraction of the price).
2 thumbs up 5
Bre from Florida
I'm not sure that this helps my hair dry much faster, but it is a great detangler! will buy again.
Love this! Works well 5
Ann E from MA
I spray this after towel drying my hair, and it definitely cuts the drying time. I would recommend anyone who, like me, prefers to air dry your hair, this works. I'd assume it would work also on thicker hair, you probably have to just spray more than I do. I section my hair in half and spray it generously.
so good 5
No need for heat from TX
love this product and it works beautifully. I air dry my hair. this has cut my time in half ❤❤❤
Good stuff 5
Emily from United States
First of all this stuff smells AMAZING. I scrunch it into my wavy/curly hair after styling and it does seem to speed up drying time! Usually my hair takes over an hour to fully dry, but this product seems to reduce that time.
AMAZING 5
Very loyal Ulta costumer from Minnesota
I have very straight fine long hair. When I air dry, my hair always end up being a bit frizzy with flyaways. I was actually looking for a cream and I usually buy the more high end brands, but what I was going to try, wasn't in stock. I took a chance with this and I'm so glad I did! I went to bed with my hair a bit damp with this in it and my hair was so smooth this morning! It was like I had ran a straightener through it. This is definitely a new staple. Highly recommended!
