Aveda Mens Thickening Paste 75ml

Perfect product does just what I wanted to do

Not as good as the other Aveda clay it’s very light and does not hold.

I’d always used aveda pure-formance grooming clay but gave this a try. After a few used, I realized this works differently. Grooming clay is firm and you sculpt your hair with it. If you have thinner hair, it ends up sticking together in some places. With thickening paste, it’s a smoother softer substance so it’s easier to work with. When you get it the way you like it, it dries and gives more hold. Same clean dry look as the clay but easier to work with.

The first time I purchased this product was by accident. I meant to get a different formula but accidentally picked this one up. It was a very good accident. The paste holds your hair like gel or hairspray but leaves your hair soft, not sticky or crunchy. It also smells really good. For long hair, I'd recommend using it on the ends. For short hair, it works best on dry hair, but I've used it when my hair was wet; I just combed it into place and then set it with a light coat of hairspray.

Creamier than most pastes and therefore goes in easily. Did notice that it gets thicker and more claylike as it ages (presumably drying out). Hold is decent but soft. No residue and hair remains shiny/clean. Shampoos off very easily.

I love this hair paste. It is not sticky and makes your hair style really nice. I put this in my hair while still damp and I blow dry and style. My hair goes great every time. I have been using this product for three years and I have tried other products and nothing compares to Aveda.

This paste works to help thicken my thinning hair to look more fuller. It does have some hold to it but not much, I use another pomade to help with the hold. Overall I am good with the product, if you have thinning or thin hair this will work for you.
