WHY IT WORKS
4 reasons you'll love the Molding Paste
The everyday paste for a fuller, thicker look that still moves.
1
Flexible hold that lasts
Holds your style all day and lets you restyle it with your fingers.
2
Washes out easily
The water-soluble formula rinses clean, with no sticky or greasy residue.
3
A fuller, thicker look
Adds body and texture to medium and thin hair.
4
Works as a pre-styler
Use it on damp hair before blow-drying for extra volume on any hair type.
BEFORE
AFTER STYLINGFlat and limp, to full and textured
A fingertip of Molding Paste adds body and texture without weighing fine hair down.
IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE THAT COUNTS
The pure, active ingredients your hair needs
HOLD
Beeswax and Candelilla Wax
Natural waxes that give the paste its hold, so you can shape and restyle with your fingers.
CONDITION
Castor Seed Oil
Conditions the hair and helps the paste break down and spread evenly.
MOISTURE
Glycerin
A humectant that helps hair hold on to moisture, so it doesn't feel dry.
Forte vs. ordinary hair paste
Most pastes trade hold for a greasy, heavy finish. This one doesn't.
Flexible, all-day hold
Rinses out in one wash
Matte, never greasy
No stiff, crunchy cast

I’m surprised at how so little goes so far. Like the way it holds without being stiff. Will purchase more once this first jar is gone.
