Smells like glue and didn't do anything for my slippery, shoulder-length, piecey hair. I was expecting something more like American Crew Paste, but this was just sticky in my hands - no hold in my...

From previous reviews, it looks like this works well on all hairtypes and lengths. My hair is straight and cut into a short pixie with lots of texturizing throughout. I use malleable molding paste...

This is HG for me (and I don't say that too often)! This is the best lightweight cream/paste for finalizing my curly shoulder-length hair. With other stylers, I always have to fix my hair...

I bought this on a whim at Bloomingdale's. Normally, I use KMS Molding Paste, but have really enjoyed this product so far. It doesn't quite hold as powerfully as KMS, but it does just enough to...

I have short, fine, thick hair in a pixie cut. My hair tends toward extreme dryness. My favorite styling product ever is Pantene's texture & shine pomade (cheap!), but I was looking for some...

This was a sample I received (so I got it for free) when I bought the leave-in conditioner and the silk straightening cream. It would be a great product for many. It is not a bad product at all. ...

nice molding product from Kiehl's. I use it on my curly hair, wet and let air dry. It can weigh hair down a bit, so use it sparingly. It definitely helps control frizz. This review was...

I really like Kiehl's Maleable Molding Paste. It's the texture of a thick, gel pomade and it feels a bit tacky on your hands. I apply it to damp hair after I apply Kiehl's Straightening Balm and...

I got a sample of this from a SA who told me that this was a possible replacement for my beloved, yet discontinued, Shine 'N Lite Groom. Uh, NOPE. This stuff isn't malleable at all. The package...

This product gives just enough control, shine and separation--without greasiness, stickiness or extra weight--for my very thick, short hair. I use about a dime-sized amount on damp hair,...

I am so, so glad Kiehl's invented this product!!! I had never been able to find a paste that separate my hair gently, does not weigh it down or by the end of the day erase separation in my hair,...
