OG FORMULA

The Pliable Paste

Achieve flexibility and movement with Molding Paste. This unique water-based formula adds layered texture, a strong hold, AND lets you re-shape your hair with just a bit of water.

HOW TO

Psst.. Pro-Tip

With Molding Paste, we find that less is more. Always start with a dime size, emulsify until completely clear, then apply and style. Make sure to really emulsify to prevent clumping!

  1. Original formula is back and product is excellent. All day hold without clumping or hardening like the last batch was. This stuff goes a long way too with hold + flexibility. Was excited to hear they changed the formula after listening to the feedback. Recommend for sure, glad to say you guys got a longtime customer back!

  2. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for bringing back the original formula! It’s been a year of hell trying to find a product that was as perfect as your molding paste! I am beyond happy!

  3. Original formula is back baby!! I went ahead and ordered it based on the last review and could not be more pleased. Same stuff as I used to use in high school before they changed the formula. Can’t find anything better, even Suavecito isn’t as good as this stuff.

  4. Hello there, loyal customer here. Been using this routinely for many years. I am disappointed to say it seems like the formula has changed and now the product leaves the hair dry and rigid, rather than more movable throughout the day. The contents of the container dry out much quicker as well. It seems as now its been entirely changed. Please go back to what has worked for all these years!

  5. I’ve been a loyal customer for years so imagine my shock when I discovered you changed the formula. I now have 2 that I purchased that are useless. It does not work for my hair anymore. It seems you’ve lost many loyal customers by changing a great product into a horrible product. Not a great business move.
