Q: Is it protein-free and good for low prosity hair?

submitted by User - 5 months ago

  • A: Hi there! Thank you for your question! 😊 We’re happy to help. Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Spray Hair Gel is not protein-free, as it’s formulated with Rice Curl Complex, which includes keratin amino acids and enzymes to help protect curls and enhance definition and curl retention. That said, the formula is very lightweight, never sticky, and leaves no buildup. It’s specially designed for waves and loose or fine curls, which is why many people with low-porosity hair enjoy it when they’re looking for definition, volume, and frizz control without added weight. It’s also infused with a superfood oil blend to help hydrate curls and add shine. Would you be interested in receiving a personalized recommendation tailored to your hair type and needs?

    Spray gel

    I love this stuff. It doesn't leave my hair stiff and crunchy when I use it. Instead, it helps control the frizz and leaves soft curls.

    Fragrance hides bad ingredients?

    I was excited until I read the ingredients list. PARFUM Fragrance can hide horrible ingredients. No thank you.

    New Favorite!

    As someone kinda new to the healthy curly hair game, this is by far my favorite spray gel. Not only does it hold my curls all day and keep them intact overnight, it doesn't leave my hair feeling crunchy. So it's a 10/10 in my book!

    Good product

    I really like this because it’s light weight but still holds well.

    Like it, wish it was easier to spray

    While it’s a great idea, I wish it had a side lever to pull instead of the top spray mechanism. It becomes very difficult to spray a lot and accurately into your hair (especially with wet hands), making it less effective. I’m sure if I could get the right amount in my hair I’d see its hold, but it gave a very weak hold because of that.

    💜 Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Defining Spray Gel

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Defining Spray Gel hoping it would help define my curls, but unfortunately, it didn’t give me the results I was looking for on my extra coarse hair. While the product smells amazing and feels lightweight, it just didn’t have enough hold or moisture to bring out or maintain my curl pattern. My hair felt soft afterward, but the curls didn’t form or last. That being said, I think this product would work really well for those with a looser or softer curl texture — like wavy hair or type 2–3 curls. The spray formula makes it easy to apply evenly without buildup, and it leaves a nice, natural finish for lighter textures. ⭐ Pros: • Smells great and feels lightweight • Easy-to-apply spray formula • Leaves hair soft without crunchiness • Ideal for looser or wavier curls 💭 Final Thoughts: If you have extra coarse or tightly coiled hair, this may not give the definition or hold you need. But if your curls are softer or looser, the Curl Talk Defining Spray Gel could be a perfect fit for light, touchable curl definition.

    Zero hold

    I actually like the smell, but this has no hold. Many have recommended this line and I purchased shampoo, conditioner, cream, gel, spray gel, hairspray, and mousse. I've played around with different combinations, but I hate my hair every time. I'll keep the shampoo & conditioner and hairspray, but the rest of the styling products do nothing for my hair and I have less curl using them so I'll be returning

    It's alright...

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried this a few times now in my 3c/4a hair. I apply it in damp brushed hair and crunch it up into my curls, then let air dry. Compared to the other products I use in my hair, it just doesn't do much for me. Creates nice light hold but doesn't help with frizz, or maintaining my style throughout the day. Great for it I just need something fast to throw in and go. I will use all of it up, but it probably wouldn't be a second purchase. THE PERICE THOUGH. Great. Love it. I love luxury products but its not always an option.

    Good

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smells nice, does the job well. Good price. It doesn’t make my hair feel a little stiff. I prefer it to feel like I don’t have product in it, but this is still a really good product.

    Spray Gel does beyond well!!

    Another fabulous product that is not available in my area! This spray gel does a wonderful job on any lazy curls I have. I use this with the level 5 gel and my curls look amazing!!! I highly recommend this product! My only issue is I don’t have access at local stores, I have to order online. I don’t mind, but wish it was offered in my area!

    Needs a lot for type 4 curls

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Depending on the hair type, mine is type four so this has to be applied while in the shower and my hair is wet, not damp, and also a large portion of it not just a gentle mist.

    Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Defining Spray Gel

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Defining Spray Gel is a great product for anyone looking to enhance their natural curls without weighing them down. The lightweight formula provides good hold and definition without leaving hair crunchy or stiff. It’s perfect for creating bouncy, frizz-free curls with a natural finish. The spray applicator makes it easy to distribute evenly throughout the hair, and it has a pleasant, light scent. While it works well for most hair types, those with extremely thick or coarse curls may need a stronger product for more hold. Overall, it's a fantastic, affordable option for everyday curl care.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an ok product. It didn’t really make my hair curly but I mean so far, I’ve used it twice so I think it was ok and it did make my hair nice. But I’ve used this brand before and it’s the best

    Great product!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this & so did my daughter. The smell is fresh & I love the spray of the bottle. It didn’t blow me away compared to similar products, but the price is better than the similar products- so I would buy this over them. My hair wasn’t too crunchy (just don’t use too much product!) & looked cute!

    Love this!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My curly hair definitely loved this spray gel! It’s smells great and it made my curls easier to tame. My hair was way less frizzy, definitely looser, and less stiff. I was really impressed with this product!
