Best styling clay I have ever used, 26 Oct. 2011

Like most people I have tried and tested many styling clays.I had previously discovered Redken's "Rough Paste" and when I spotted their Clay I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed.It is very tacky, as Clay's are, but you only need to apply a small amount at a time as you twist and tweak your hair into the style you want.I find this works best for tweaking the ends of the hair you have flicked up into points or gentle spikes.It defines the ends without looking wet or making you look like a Punk from the 70's!I have short hair which I have cut quite choppy, and I like to use products to make it look edgy and textured. So, I dry the hair, spray it with a light misting of Redken "Spray Starch," straighten it, use a bit of Redken "Rough Paste" to stick it up and then put a bit of this Rough Clay on my finger and thumb tips and then strand by strand tweak it into place so that it looks messy but soft.I love this Clay!

Fantastic product, 7 Jan. 2010

Many hair products make your hair look wet and or greasy. This is a matt product. Great for short hair which you want to give a textured look.You wash and blow dry your hair as normal, then use a bit of Redken's Spray Starch on the bits you want to stick up and use the straighteners on the bits sprayed.Not too much spray, though, just lightly mist the hair. Then when you've done with the straighteners, get a bit of this clay on your hands - again, not TOO much - and muss it up. You can get the hair to go exactly where you want it to and then give it a quick spritz of hairspray and the result is fabulous!No more wet look hair.Their Rough Paste is a similar product to this but if you are not careful that can make your hair look wet/greasy. So this product is for people who want their hair to have texture but not to look like they have just been wet through in a downpour.
