Customer Reviews:
Unbeatable all-day strength and control.
This paste provides the strongest hold I've ever found for my thick, stubborn hair. My style stays perfectly sculpted from early morning through the late evening, regardless of the weather.
Too stiff and difficult to distribute.
The product is so firm in the jar that it's a struggle to scoop it out and break it down in my hands. It often pulls my hair during application, which is uncomfortable and irritating.
Premium scent and true matte finish.
The smell is incredible, a sophisticated cologne that makes applying it a pleasure. More importantly, the matte look is flawless; it looks like natural, voluminous hair.
Expensive, but the quality is high.
It definitely hits the higher end of the price spectrum for hair products. While the performance justifies the cost, it’s not an everyday purchase for someone on a budget.
Makes thin hair feel heavy and sticky.
I found this paste was too much for my fine hair, instantly weighing it down and making it look flat. I tried using less, but the tacky nature still made my hair feel coated and stiff.
Great texture, minor drying issue.
It adds amazing texture and lift to my hair, which I appreciate. The only small issue is that if I use slightly too much, my hair feels a little dry and brittle by the end of the day.
