Hair transformation!
I am so happy I found this product! I thought I would never have nice luscious looking hair, I have very thin and very damaged hair. The breakage and flyaway hair were getting out of control. I live in the Midwest and the summer humidity is a nightmare for hair like mine. Enter Not Your Mothers ...

Worth trying but didn't work at all for me
I think this is worth a try as it seems to work for a lot of people but it did not for me. Im almost through the whole set and don't like it. I have blonde (highlighted and colored for years and years) long hair. Its 2b/c and low porosity. Ive used redken Acidic and loreal bonding and loved both. Th...

Hair repair
My dry ashy broomlike ends due to bleach damage were repaired after one use; i didn't bother rinsing it out because it didn't feel greasy
My hair feels horrible
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I tried to pre shampoo treatment, and my hair feels like straw and looks so much worse. My hair usually loves these bonding treatments but not this one.
Great bonding conditioner!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I use this as bonding treatment after deeply washing my hair with clarifying shampoo (twice) and it is such a great product! Perfect for fine hair - does not weigh it down or make it greasy - and leaves my hair so soft. Definitely recommend!
Another GOAT from Not Your Mother's
okay I am the biggest fan girl of Not Your Mother's. I am hair obsessed and try too many products. For it's cost and quality, NYM has some GOATS. This is one of them. I admit I previously thought a product had to be expensive to be a GOAT. Fake news, I was silly to believe that. I have long (about 4 inches past bra strap), thicker hair. as in, I can tie a small bundle of flowers with a strand of hair. 2A, 47 yo female, Latina. My hair tends to be dry. I don't use heat aside from a blow dryer, relying on heatless curls. I tend to be prone to split ends for some reason, and previously, even after a hair mask my hair still felt dry. Enter this product. Problems solved. I did not want to write a review until my second use and I see improvement. My hair is so soft and in adequately moisturizing and sealing the bond, frizz is reduced. How I use it- on hair that doesn't have too much serum or oil, rinse in sink. gently remove excess water. I use about a nickel size treatment per side of hair. I let it absorb for about 1.5 hours (lol for meal prep and dinner). Then proceed with hair routing (shampoo, mask etc). The only con to me that is basically irrelevant is the smell. I wish it smelled more like the styling creme or Sleep on It. This is a silly complaint. It is a pleasant enough scent. Total GOAT.
Soooo soft
I will start by saying I am not sure I used this perfectly. yet I had amazing results. I didn't feel like getting my hair all wet so just kind of sprayed it with water, let it sit for about 1.5 hours (I did a workout then had dinner). I then rinsed, washed hair. My hair feels hydrated, my strands feel smooth, and it feels soft and easy to style. I also have a confession. I was of the belief products had to be more expensive to be good. fake news. This is the third Not Your Mother's product that I think is the GOAT and I test a lot of products lol.
