Products similar to Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk?
Hi all! I’ve religiously used the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk gel and mousse for ~4 years and I’m looking for an alternative. I’m in grad school and trying to save money everywhere possible. I know Not Your Mother’s is pretty cheap as far as curl products go, but looking for an even cheaper option if possible. The other thing that bothers me is I need a great deal of product per wash cycle, and I go through bottles really quickly, which makes me feel not great about the amount of trash I’m creating. Does anybody have recommendations for products that come in larger quantities?
I have 2C hair, here’s my routine:
Shampoo: alternating between Neutrogena T-Sal and Nizoral ketoconazole shampoo
Conditioner that comes with the drugstore hair color sets 🫣
Wrap in a microfiber towel after showering
Hairitage by Mindy Knight curl cream, rake through hair (the Not Your Mother’s one is too goopy and heavy for my hair, an alternative here would also be welcome!)
Not Your Mother’s curl talk gel, rake through hair
Not Your Mother’s curl talk foaming mousse, scrunch through hair
Air dry/scrunch to release gel cast
I don’t currently use a silk pillowcase or bonnet but I’m looking to get into that because mine is so frizzy after 3-4 days
