Paul Mitchell ESP Elastic Shaping Paste, Bendable Texture, Flexible Hold, For All Hair Types, 1.8 oz.

This product works great on holding very heavy and thick hair in place. No wax in product. It rinses out of hair easily. Won’t use anything else

holds style well, easy to use. Recommended by my stylist.

I've been using the old Paul Mitchell ESP elastic paste for about 9 years.I began purchasing at a local hair shop and later purchased at a local online shopping mall. And I found that the normal consistency would be creamy or not thick. I also purchased a number of these at Amazon.com and, to my delight, all of them were soft and not hard.The one I am using currently is the second one with new packaging purchased at Amazon. When I opened it, is was just like cream cheese and when I put some of this on my finger it felt very soft. I rubbed them on my fingers before applying to my hair. As for the old ones, this new ones are very easy to rinse off.I think it is necessary to dry your fingers before touching this. As I use it daily, it seems that it becomes harder and significantly hard and sticky finally. I think it would be related with exposure with water and I began to dry my fingers before I apply this on my finger and it seems that this prevented it from getting hard significantly.Now I'm going to use my second one and I think I would order other Paul Mitchell products as well.

Holds tight all day. Very stiff. Makes my face break out, so careful to avoid.

I couldn't find this for a while. I love this product. Enough to hold style without hair feeling like concrete.

It keeps my hair smooth like butter.

This product is terrible! I couldn’t even get it to go on my hair! It was too thick and dry. It just stuck to my hands. I even tried rubbing it between my hands to warm it up and nothing worked. Just terrible!

A tiny bit holds your hair in place all day
