Hair is a major topic of conversation in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 (#IYKYK), but the real mystery is what happened to Jessi Ngatikaura and Layla Taylor's hair in the intro of the reality television series.
For those who are unfamiliar, season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — a show that follows "the scandalous world of a group of Mormon mom influencers" that "implodes when they get caught in the midst of a swinging sex scandal that makes international headlines" (according to the official synopsis of the show) — hit Hulu and Disney Plus last week, featuring an all new intro to open every episode.
While the OG #MomTok members —Whitney Leavitt, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Demi Engemann, Jessi and Layla — are all in the intro, new cast member Miranda McWhorter is included as well. In said intro, each woman is seen climbing out of the water in a stunning white gown, complete with sleek, wet hair. Jessi and Layla are lacking the wet hair, though, with Jessi finally addressing the mystery on a recent episode of the The Viall Files podcast, hosted by Bachelor Nation alum Nick Viall.

♬ Lay Up (Instrumental) - Future"They do have a new intro to the show," Nick's wife, Natalie Joy Viall, says to preface the conversation. "It is very iconic. Jessi and Layla don't get their hair wet, which I feel like if I'm production, I'm fighting them on that, so we've asked Jessi to respond to this question on why she did not get her hair wet in the intro... She has sent us a response."
The podcast then inserted a video that Jessi had sent to them, addressing the situation once and for all. "Okay, you guys. I was just as surprised to see that Layla and I had dry hair in the intro, because we all got wet. I was actually the very first one to film our intro, and I was like the guinea pig, so I was like getting my hair in there and flipping it around. I actually have so many videos of having wet hair, and if you look at the poster, we all had wet hair, so I don't know," she spilled — how wild is that?
Jessi — who is a hairstylist herself — continued, "It's kind of funny, because everyone's like, 'They're just divas and they didn't wanna get their hair wet.' Trust me, if that was the case, they would've just been like, 'Sorry, you're getting your hair wet.' We don't have that kind of say... I did get my hair wet, but maybe I just looked so stunning and gorgeous with dry hair they had to like leave it that way."
She then shared why Layla had dry hair in the The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 intro, which is likely a result of her naturallycurly hair. "Layla, it was actually really funny because her hair's naturally curly, and they were nervous that if she got her hair wet, her extensions would be just kind of wavy and wet and her own hair would curl up, and so we had to get like lube and lube her hair down. That's like a little hairstylist trick. Put lube in it to make it look wet instead of getting it actually wet," she explained.
Jessi concluded, "Maybe it just didn't look as good as they were wanting and that's why they kept us both dry. I'm not sure. I'm gonna have to ask and find out, because I was curious about that too."
To see if Jessi ever addresses the dry hair fiasco again, you can keep up with the The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star on Instagram and TikTok: _justjessiiii.
