Which Product Should I Choose?

Light hold · Natural finish

Cream

Choose Cream for soft, flexible everyday control. It keeps hair pliable without stiffness or crunch and works reliably across hair types.

Medium hold · Matte finish

Paste

Choose Paste for short, textured styles. It provides more control than Cream without moving all the way to Clay’s stronger hold.

Strong hold · Matte finish

Clay

Choose Clay for firm control, matte texture and more structured styles that need to stay in position.

Light hold · Natural finish

Styling Cream

Choose Styling Cream for longer, wavy or curly hair. It defines curls, reduces frizz and adds subtle texture without heaviness.

Volume · Texture · Pre-styler

Salt Spray

Choose Salt Spray for lightweight volume, movement and natural texture. Use it alone or before blow-drying and applying another styling product.

Strong hold · Dry finish

Styling Powder

Choose Styling Powder for instant root lift and maximum dry volume. It is especially useful for fine or thinning hair that needs a fuller-looking result.

Understanding Styling Terms

Light Hold

Gentle control that allows the hair to move and feel natural.

Medium Hold

Noticeable control with more flexibility than a strong-hold product.

Strong Hold

Greater control for structured styles that need to remain in place.

Matte Finish

Minimal visible shine for a dry, natural-looking result.

Natural Finish

Maintains the hair’s normal appearance without looking overly glossy.

Texture and Volume

Texture creates separation and definition. Volume adds lift and helps hair appear fuller.
