This product is excellent at giving separation and definition to my layers without weighing down my hair too much. I have fine hair with the tiniest touch of wave cut in a long, shaggy bob with...

Control Paste is a great styling product for shorter hair styles. My hairdresser always uses this to style my hair after a cut and I just couldn't duplicate the look at home with drug store hair...

This is a nice texturizing product for shorter, messy shag-type cuts. It provides more hold than the typical wax although not so much as a gel. It's not greasy or sticky yet still pliable enough to...

I really want to like this stuff but I just don't. It's supposed to give my hair separation and texture and hold with minimal shine, but it just makes it feel...dirty. What it does for my hair...

I really dig this product for my long curly hair. Works great as product to use after hair is dry, before hairspray. It really makes the curl more defined and gets rid of frizz. Diffuse or air dry,...

About two months ago I donated my hair to locks for love and went from having really long hair to a bob. It was pretty dramatic, but a nice change. Never having short hair in my life this new bob...

This is a wonderful styling paste. It creates a matte finish - with lots of piece-y definition. The scent is appealing and calming. I love that the packaging and container are eco-friendly. My...

Like this product alot. It gives your hair a mild shine, and allows you to mold your hair to the style you want. I think this would probably be better for shorter hair types, and remember not to...

Great product. Has a nice neutral smell that doesn't irritate like some waxes and it gives a nice natural hold to short/medium length hair. Can't say about hold for longer. But I agree with other...

I sometimes use my roomies tub of this. When it works, it works well creating a piecey/textured look. Smells great just like the rest of the Aveda line. A small tub will last a LONG time because...

not too crazy about this one. it really only works well for short to medium length hair, and is more about creating that piecy textured look than giving any hold. it smells good, but it's pretty...

Love this product! I think it smells delicious (not in an 'I want to eat that' kind of way) and it works great. I use it to make my flipped out, layered hair look piecy. A little goes a long way,...

Ok, I haven't used this product in almost two years now, but, when I had a short pixie cut a few years ago, this was my HG pomade. I hated everything else that I tried with that short, fun, spunky...
