What it does

A versatile styling paste designed to provide pliable hold, texture, and a natural shine.

Pliable hold allows for reshaping and restyling throughout the day
Silicone-free formula helps prevent buildup that weighs hair down
Adds definition and texture to medium and coarse hair types
Compact tube design suitable for travel and gym bags
Peppermint scent provides a light cooling sensation during application

Ideal for individuals with normal to coarse hair who prefer a flexible style they can reshape throughout the day. The main trade-off is hold duration, as it may soften faster on finer or longer hair types.
