R+Co Control Flexible Paste 62g / 2.2oz (2-Pack) - Flexible, Matte

In this review the R+Co Control Flexible Paste (2-pack) is judged as a practical everyday styling paste for people who want workable texture without stiffness. The reviewer found it most useful for short to medium hair that needs separation and a natural-looking finish; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of flexible hold and a non-greasy matte appearance that stays put without feeling crunchy. Scent and spreadability also get positive notes, making it easy to apply by hand and distribute through hair even when working with thicker or curly textures.

Key Features

• Flexible hold: Provides a medium, workable hold that lets styles be reshaped during the day without turning hair rigid.
• Texturizes and defines: Adds separation and texture to short and medium lengths for tousled or deliberately defined looks.
• Natural finish: Leaves hair with a matte or satin finish so styles read natural rather than greasy or shiny.
• Suitable for all hair types: Works on fine, thick and curly hair, giving control without overwhelming natural movement.
• Lightweight formula: Does not weigh hair down, making it appropriate for daily use and for styles that need lift.

Who It's For

This paste is best for people with short to medium hair who want control and texture without stiffness; it suits anyone who prefers a matte finish and dislikes greasy or shiny styling products. It is also a good option for those who need a product that can be reworked by hand during the day.

Those with very long styles or who need an ultra-strong hold for gravity-defying sculpted looks should look elsewhere for a heavier wax or gel. If a glossy, high-shine finish is desired, a pomade with shine would be a better match than this natural-finish paste.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides medium, workable hold without stiffness or crunchy residue.

Cons

• Users seeking high shine will not get that from this product.
