The R+Co Control Flexible Paste provides a strong medium hold without product buildup and offers a flexible hold without a glossy finish. It features a pleasant aroma and is designed to hold well without looking greasy, providing a natural, voluminous, matte look. The smooth texture of the paste effortlessly blends for a seamless finish, adding texture and dimension without feeling sticky.
Priced between $20 and $30, this paste is ideal for very fine hair and surprisingly effective for curly hair, adding fantastic texture. It ensures an all-day hold, making it a reliable choice for lasting styling. Additionally, the product washes off easily without leaving residue on fingers, allowing for hassle-free removal.
However, it's important to use the product sparingly as its dense, dry texture can make hair sticky if used excessively and too much product makes application difficult, leaving hair feeling dry. Using the right amount is key to achieving the desired styling effect without any undesirable outcomes.
