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 - BE
Hi 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...

Not good on fine or soft straight hair

Submitted 15 days ago

By Debbie

From Elk Grove, CA

Hair Type Straight Hair

This was recommended by an Ulta associate for my almost completely straight hair. There's no hold at all and it made my hair look greasy. Would probably work much better on coarse hair that needs smoothing vs styling.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Good definition but dry

I liked the smell and thought it gave good definition but my hair always felt so dry after using this. I'll keep looking for a more moisturizing curl gel

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I bought a Not Your Mother's gel in the past and I can't remember why I didn't re-purchase so I decided to try it again. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! It gave me a nice hold without being sticky or flaky. I think I could actually use a bit more next time to achieve an even greater result.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
