HAIR STYLING PASTES: HOW TO USE THEM
Here are some tips on how to style your hair and apply styling pastes.
WHAT ARE STYLING PASTES?
Let’s start with the basics: what is a styling paste? Styling paste is a fibrous, solid yet non-sticky substance that is perfect for achieving well-defined looks with a natural finish that lasts all day. It’s an excellent alternative to gel, which often stiffens hair, as styling pastes are better suited for natural yet long-lasting hairstyles.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
Barberino’s offers three different styling pastes, each designed to create a distinct effect:
- Matt Paste: A matte-effect styling paste with strong hold. Ideal for creating and defining both tidy and messy looks while maintaining a natural appearance.
- Matt Cream: A matte-effect disciplining cream, slightly lighter than Matt Paste. It allows you to reshape your hairstyle throughout the day, making it perfect for longer hair or those who want a natural yet polished look.
- Classic Pomade: A true water-based pomade that helps style and tidy your hair while adding a shiny, impactful finish.
HOW TO USE THEM?
Applying any of these three styling pastes is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
- Take a small amount: Always start with less product—you can always add more if needed, but you can’t remove excess.
- Warm it up: Rub the product between your hands to soften it and make it easier to work with.
- Apply to dry or slightly damp hair: Avoid applying to wet hair. Dry hair works best, but slightly damp hair can work too.
- Distribute the product: You can apply it all over your hair or focus on individual strands. No comb is needed—your fingers are enough. For the Classic Pomade, you may want to use a comb for sleek, slicked-back styles, like those explained in another article on wet-look hairstyles.
By mastering these simple techniques, you can achieve the perfect hairstyle while making the most of the unique benefits of styling pastes!
