Not Your Mother’s

I have curly (3aish) hair, around collarbone length. My hair is dense, medium-coarse, and medium-porous. I've only ever tried NYM through samples but it's not for me - I personally didn't find it conditioning or hydrating enough. It's a long-term favourite for a lot of curlies, though!

Not heavily scented. Is sticky when you squirt it into your hands, but completely dries in your hair. I’ve had the same experiences with Curl Activator and the Marc Anthony simply hates my hair

The NYM (natural) curl-defining conditioner leaves a weird layer of film on my hair strands after washing. It takes more than one wash for it to come out, and it still won’t unless I shampoo hard with a different brand. My 2C curls look lifeless, and barely curl at all. While they normally dry well. Switching back to coconut curls by ogx. Maybe, I got a bad bottle or something. Been trying over and over with the same results for a month now

My hair is fine on the top and I MUCH prefer the Not Your Mother’s. The Marc Antony one seems to be too heavy for my hair and makes it clump together instead of forming defines curls.

I use the Curl Talk Cream after the Aussie coconut leave-in conditioner

I have used both and they were fine. I use the strictly curls mousse now and I love it, but it is very strong hold

I have Marc Anthony mousse, and from curl talk I have the gel and curl cream

These choices are so individual. Curl Talk products do not work well on my fine curly hair. I lose curl definition and get a lot of frizz. I haven't tried Strictly Curls.

Curl talk is a affordable option that has changed my wife’s hair so much!

You can pry the curl talk gel from my cold, dead hands. The curl talk oil is the first oil I tried that I could put all over my hair, even by my scalp, without it getting weighed down, limp, and greasy. I also use the rice water and himalayan moringa conditioner (from the naturals line) which is great if you need to add some protein into your routine, and it smells delicious. I seriously think you can’t go wrong with their products, it just might take some trial and error to see what works for your hair.

I’ve been using the Blue Sea Kale line for years and love it. The foam that went with it was my holy grail, and then they discontinued it. I use the curl talk foam now which is decent, but not as good as the other foam. I suppose it’s meant to be used as a refresh vs regular foam so that’s why. I’m 2B/C, low porosity.

I use the curl talk refresh foam. Not as much hold as others since it’s supposed to be for refreshing curls, but definitely not sticky.

I just recently switched to using NYM products as well and so far I’m really liking them. I feel like I get similar results using the gel or the cream. I did not like the mousse. It was fine, but for my routine, I much prefer Herbal Essences curl mousse. I had a bunch of old Aussie gel that I didn’t want to waste, so I mixed it with NYM gel and I think I like the combined product more than either gel on its own.

I don’t know if they changed the formula in the Organic pink line, but last time I tried it there was so much buildup in my hair. I do love the Curl Talk leave-in, though.

I pretty much exclusively use the Curl Talk line for styling products. For shampoo I use the Mint & Coastal Sea Holly, and conditioner Gardenia & Mango Butter. Edit: my hair is fine (but a lot of it), 2C with a bit of 3A, medium-high porosity (I have highlights and the ends of my hair are high porosity but the rest is medium)

I've been using the shampoo/conditioner and I absolutely love it. My hair gets shiny and springy. I've had to switch to different things when I can't find NYM and my hair is different immediately.

They are my favorite, I use the leave in conditioner, mousse and gel. Surprisingly the gel holds but doesn’t feel or look like gel in the hair. I get the same result pretty much every time with this product, but I also have a strict routine, haha. I used to use their shampoo but I’ve switched to Saltair.

My sister and I recently switched to using their Curl Talk bond building shampoo and conditioner, and my hair is amazingly soft. I also love their mousse.

3a/b (was 2c/3a), med porosity, fine w/ heavy density. Not a fan of acting in the white packaging Curl Talk range, love the stuff in the colorful bottles though.

My best curls come from NYM curl talk and then 1/2 a pump of my conditioner.

I love the curl talk refreshing foam! It's much lighter than the regular styling mousse so it doesn't weigh down my hair as much. I have mixed curls and waves that do best with lightweight products that allow them to bounce up.

Like it! I mix the gel, dry shampoo and bonding deep conditioner in with all my expensive salon quality stuff

Personally, I love their products. I like the matcha green tea and apple blossom shampoo and conditioner, and the curl talk line of styling products. As a bonus, they really make my 2yo's curls pop too. I also love that they're relatively affordable and I can find them at target.

It works really well for my husband's 3b curls, but I need more moisture. That being said, I used their dry shampoo […] which was great.

The Matcha Gree Tea hair mask is one of the few masks I've ever used where there is a noticeable difference in my hair. And I've tried alllll the hair masks.

Has anyone else not been able to find the conditioner in Stores?? It isn’t available at any of the places I had bought it before

I got mine off Amazon

I have only been able to find the shampoo and conditioner set. And I use a lot more conditioner the. Shampoo so I keep having extra shampoo bottles 😅😅 thank you for responding tho

Yes!! I originally got the organic pink stuff but my hair just didn’t feel clean so i switched to the curl talk stuff

I have fine 2A hair, so may not help you specifically but I'll share. The Curl Talk shampoo I found really dense and it barely lathered in my hair, so no good volume. The gel seemed lighter hold than what I usually use (Aussie instant freeze), but I'd be willing to try it again. I'm interested in trying some of their other styling products eventually

I use the gardenia and mango butter shampoo/conditioner but I haven’t tried any styling products from them. I like it but I’m considering trying something new, at least shampoo wise. Edit - the white bottle stuff does absolutely nothing for my hair and I don’t like it
