The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only.

This is a fantastic, versatile styler that's incredibly user-friendly. The key to any paste is to start with a small amount; you can always add more. Warming it up properly in your hands is the secret to an even, invisible application. It’s perfect for that lived-in, textured look that holds its shape but doesn't feel like you have a ton of product in your hair.

A complex, fresh scent with citrusy, herbal, and floral notes, grounded by a light woodsy base.

What's the difference between a paste and a clay pomade?
A paste (like this product) typically offers a more flexible, pliable hold with a natural or semi-matte finish. It's very versatile for a wide range of styles, from messy to neat. A clay pomade usually provides a stronger, firmer hold with a much drier, matte finish and is often best for creating high-volume, ruggedly textured looks.

Is this product sticky or greasy?
No. It's a water-based formula designed to be lightweight and non-greasy. It provides a soft, natural finish that should feel clean to the touch once it's worked into your hair.

Can I use this on longer hair?
Yes, absolutely. Because of its lightweight, flexible hold, it's a great option for longer hair. It can help to control frizz, define waves, and add a bit of texture and separation without weighing the hair down.

What's up with the packaging?
This jar is crafted with 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled curbside, along with the box made from FSC-certified paper.
