REDKENBrews Molding Paste For Men For all Hair Types - High Hold & Maximum Control, Natural and Matte Finish, Sulfate-Free, 5 Fl Oz

What a wonderful hair product for men. Redkin Work Hard Paste is more like a "lotion" consistency rather than a paste. Application is easy and for those with thick hair, it's a must. This product does not leave your hair sticky or stiff, you can comb right through it. Work hard paste keeps your hair looking healthy all day with a manly fragrance. Due to the amount needed, it is a great value; highly recommended!

For the past 5-10 years I’ve used a TIGI product called Rockaholic Way Out - I bought this product because the TIGI product has been discontinued. I mention this because it frames my review of this product as a replacement. The TIGI product came in a 5 ounce tube and came out of the tube with a consistency that was very close to Elmer’s glue - the sticky thick white stuff. The hold was very strong and would remain after it dried and was combed/brushed out. There was no residue once you did that This Redken product has less hold and has the consistency of a thinner sunscreen lotion. The hold doesn’t compare to the TIGI product despite it being advertised as “strong” or “firm hold”. I’ve found this is true of many products claiming to have firm hold. I’ve also found that you need to apply the Redken product sparingly, and best to apply on near-dry or dry hair. Otherwise if you put too much in your hair it makes your hair look and feel dirty - not a good thing. Good thing is it cleans up well…easy to get off your hands - very water-soluable. So to summarize, decent product & value, disappointing amount of hold and like many products you have to try different application methods to get best results.. Not sure whether I’ll continue to use it or not yet - it seems similar to many products on the market. I’d give it 3.75-4.25 stars.

Perfect for that teenage boy’s hair!

Works great for a natural look on my son’s wavy hair. The smell is divine, and I’m sensitive to most fragrances. A clean light man smell.

I have fairly short straight hair, and I wanted a product to hold well without drying crunchy like gel or sprays, and not have such shine that makes it looks wet. This is a perfect mix of a nice matte finish to make it look dry with great hold. And it dissolves in water very easily. A quick rinse of your head and it pretty much disappears, if you don't have time to wash your hair.It's a bit expensive for a hair product, compared to your standard grocery store kinds of products, but a deal compared to high end products. It lasts quite a long time, a few months of using daily because you need so little, that it's well worth the cost.

When it works it's pretty good. But, like others have said in their reviews, it's always "separating" and the frustration from that dynamic is just not worth using this product IMO. If the tube is relatively full, then it's not too much bother to "knead" the tube to mix up the product and not have it come out all watery. But unfortunataley, as the product gets lower it's a real pain to keep doing that. I'll try a different brand next time :^(

He prefers this product because it keeps the hair where he puts it. He doesn’t like “fuzzy” hair, and this contains any frizz from coming out. His hair stays put all day, yet it washes away easily. Wish the product had a travel size for airports.
