Pasta Rambut Refine - D R Harris London

The paste gives my short sides enough structure to stay in place without making them look shellacked, and a tiny dab goes further than I expected. I’m impressed with how it adds shine when I work it through damp hair—my cowlick actually behaves for once.

The hold is just right for my medium-length hair—defined but not stiff, and it doesn’t leave that crunchy residue some pastes do. I especially like how it adds a bit of shine when I work it into damp hair, which saves me from extra product.

Smeared a bit into damp hair after a shower and the shine it adds is exactly what my medium-length cut needed, plus the hold keeps everything in place without looking stiff. Fourth tin I've gone through in a year, so that tells you something.
