How to Use

1. Start with Clean, Towel‑Dry Hair: The paste works best on hair that is slightly damp or completely dry.
2. Dispense a Small Amount: For most users, 1–2 grams (a pea‑sized amount) is sufficient. Adjust based on hair thickness and desired hold.
3. Warm the Paste Between Fingers: Rub gently to soften the product for easier distribution.
4. Apply Evenly: Work through sections, focusing on roots for lift and ends for texture.
5. Style as Desired: Use a comb or fingers to sculpt. The paste will set quickly, allowing you to shape without delay.
6. Finish with Light Touch of Hairspray (optional): For extra longevity, lightly mist the style.
