My 12 year old son likes to use this. He can style his hair without it feeling like he has product in his hair.

We love hearing that—even better when it works so effortlessly that you can style without feeling any product at all.

A little goes a long way. I really like the hold this creates. Will take a relatively straight piece and bring the curl right back upon crunching.

Im loving these products from Alcove. The Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner is light weight but moisturizing at the same time! I'm using the Balm to define my naturally curly hair. I was looking for an affordable product without all the chemicals and I've found it. Definitely recommended and will order again.

This was recommended by my stylist and this product really does the trick in styling my short thick, wavy hair. I do not use a dryer or any other product on my hair besides Olaplex products for conditioning. This paste by Alcove helps hold my hair in the tousled and sleek style that I like my super short hair to be in. I look like I have stepped right out of the salon every time I use this paste, it has the same hold as the old Bed Head products without the gloopiness, stickiness, and mess. This is my new go-to hair product. I love it. Affordable as well.

Est-ce que la pâte à modeler protège de la chaleur, si j’utilise le fer plat le lendemain matin pour retouche et que j’ai mis la veille la pâte dans mes cheveux

Alcôve Hair

Bonjour!
Notre Pâte de Modelage n'offre pas de protection thermique. Si vous prévoyez utiliser un fer plat le lendemain, nous vous recommandons d'appliquer un protecteur thermique comme celui que nous avons https://alcovehair.com/fr/products/thermal-protection-spray avant d'utiliser l'appareil pour protéger vos cheveux de la chaleur.

Have questions?
We’re happy to answer!

It's soft enough to brush, but since it's a paste, there will be some residue if you chose to brush it through the hair.

While the product is designed to be applied to dry hair, applying it to wet hair dilutes the paste, making it more malleable.

Our styling paste offers a unique balance of flexibility and hold that isn’t often found in gels or pomades. It provides a matte finish rather than a shiny one, which is ideal for modern hairstyles that require natural movement and texture. Pastes are also reworkable, allowing for style adjustments throughout the day.

Absolutely! Styling paste is excellent for curly hair as it helps define curls without hardening them. It allows for flexible control, reducing frizz and adding definition, which makes styling and maintaining curly hair easier.

The hold provided by hair styling paste typically lasts throughout the day. It's formulated to withstand normal environmental conditions, helping to keep your style intact from morning to night without the need for reapplication.

Yes, this product is colour safe as it protects and prolongs colour.

Can be used everyday.
