I have very short grey hair and without this it would just look fluffy. But this defines my hair and keeps it in place. Can’t fault this. Been using it for a long time now. Have tried cheaper products but keep coming back to this one.

Here is my comparison of similar popular hair products. 3 on the higher price range and 2 much cheaper options. I’ve tried about 15 different hair products over the years and these are the ones I recommend. Photos in order and not really sure if they are even helpful as they all look similar.
1. REDKEN WORK HARD MOLDING PASTE. Best of the 5 I reviewed. Medium to high hold, low shine. Can be used on any length hair but best for mid to shorter length ( not super short) Great for messy hair look or sticking up in the front look. Not greasy and not to sticky but cmon now its hair paste of course it’s going to be somewhat sticky. Good hold without looking unnatural and smells great to me but not to strong which is a plus. A little goes a long way as most of these products but especially this one. This one wins by a long shot. Overall score 10 Been using since 2008.
2 PAUL MITCHELL “MITCH” CONSTRUCTION PASTE. Good for the same reasons as REDKEN but just doesn’t do them as well. Also had more shine and is a bit to greasy. Scent is much too strong IMO. Works better than REDKEN for a more styled look and is medium hold. About same price as REDKEN Overall score 7.0
3. AMERICAN CREW FORMING CREAM. Well this is a cream so different consistency than others. Does better for longer styled hair but can work with medium length messy look. Low shine which is unusual for a cream (I think, and at least in my experience) Smell is decent and not too strong. Overall score 8.0
4.AXE STYLING URBAN MESSY LOOK PASTE. (The one in the little tin cans) This is the poor mans REDKEN. Less than half the price but does everything REDKEN does just not as well. Need to use a little more too which justifies me continuing to buy REDKEN. Low shine matte look but not as much holding power as REDKEN. I prefer the scent on this one over all others. This is the only one that I will use besides REDKEN because if performance a be value. I can’t even explain what is smells like but it’s unique and manly, not too strong and some chick said I smelled good and I didn’t have cologne on so that’s a plus in my book. Overall Score 8.0
5. GARNIER FRUCTIS PURE CLEAN PASTE. I bought this while on vacation when I forgot to bring the good stuff. Works okay and falls between a paste and a cream for consistency. Low to medium hold and shine. Does the job in a pinch and is mad cheap but it’s worth spending more as the REDKEN lasts twice as long and your forehead won’t break out. Overall Score 5.5 All in all there are 100’s of hair products for men out there and I’m sure some other great ones but this is 5 of the ones I use and remember and continue to go back to. Note the REDKEN price will fluctuate from $12-18.50 on Amazon but it’s been stuck on 18.50 for a while but still worth it.

a little pricey but highly recommend for that messy look. Put a little on the tips of my fingers and dab in my hair to give it lots of texture.

I have short pixie-style hair (think Jamie Lee Curtis). I have been using this product for 10 years. I take a “pea” sized amount, rub my hands together and sort of scrunch my hands through my hair. I have tried MANY “girlie” products and always come back to this. The smell is a big thing for me. This has a clean scent (not masculine) that goes away very quickly. I use this product daily and it hasn’t dried my hair out. I haven’t tried the product since they changed the packaging so I hope they have changed the formula. I’d highly recommend this product. Don’t let the fact that it is a guys product deter you from trying it.

Recommended by my hair stylist, I bought this for flyaways, it works so well to keep the ‘tickles’ down. Use enough of it, and you can finger style and it holds!

For my hair I love this stuff. I used to buy it at Sports Cuts but then I moved to a town that doesn’t have one. I could not find it in town so I found it here.
It takes very little for a extra strength hold. I used to be a salesman for construction materials. The lady at Sports Clips sold me this when I told her I needed to put on a hard hat and take it off and still have my hair look good. I also did not want my hair to look slick and gelled. This product does just that. Looks natural in the hair and holds it in place, i know I have 2 cow licks!
Plus an added bonus which sounds weird..I like the smell to.. lol

My stylist used on my son and I couldn’t believe how well it held. The smell is so clean. It is very sticky when you squeeze out on your hand and also very tacky in the hair. It def. gives an all day hold. The product is Very expensive but I encourage you to purchase.

Ne ho spuntate tante, ma questa direi la migliore, ne basta davvero poca, l’importante é scaldarla bene con le mani, non appiccica e si toglie benissimo con lo shampoo

My husband is a loyal Paul Mitchell product user. They change products overt so often. This was bought to replace a styling gel and he likes this one as much as the old product. Holds his hair in place but does not weigh it down.

Great for fine, flyaway hair. A small amount goes a long way to tame those unruly fly aways!
EW –
Man it is really hard to squeeze that stuff out of that tube. Other than that a nice product.
