When to Use
- On medium to coarse hair that needs flexible, medium hold with a natural matte finish
- To create rough, lived-in or slept-in texture on mid-length and longer styles
- On damp hair for curly or wavy styles when air drying naturally
- On dry hair to add texture, definition and dimension to finished styles
- For men’s grooming — a natural, matte alternative to wax or pomade for everyday styling
- When you want flexible, reworkable hold that moves naturally throughout the day
- To define and separate ends on mid-length to long styles for a textured, editorial finish
How to Use
- Dispense a small amount into your palms and emulsify until the paste warms and becomes workable.
- Work through damp or dry hair with fingertips, styling into your desired shape.
- For maximum texture on mid-length and longer styles: emulsify in palms, sandwich hair between hands and roll the ends of dry hair through for defined, piece-y texture.
- For curly styles or men’s grooming: apply to damp hair and allow to air dry naturally for soft, defined results.
- For short styles: work through with fingertips using a pressing and twisting motion for grip and definition.
- Stylist tip: A little goes a long way — start with a small amount and build up gradually for your desired level of texture and hold.
