If frizz is the bane of your existence (#allofus), then this one's for you. Laura Dyer, a stylist at the Antonio Prieto Salon in New York City, says "This water-based pomade is easy to use and fantastic for fly aways, baby hairs, [creating] clean edges, controlling braids, and creating smoothness and shine for sleek ponytails."
Since this pomade is water-based, it feels a bit lighter than traditional oils and serums, making it especially great for baby-fine pieces around the hairline and anyone with thin or fine hair. It's also a cinch to wash out.
A contour kit as a finishing product? Jordan says it's a must.
"Kat Von D's Shade and Light Eye Contour Palette is never not in my kit," she tells us. "I use it for shading in hairlines and part lines when finishing looks. Its matte fine powders come in neutrals, cools, and warms, and they are highly pigmented and seamlessly blend into the hair of every shade. It's great for everything from HD cameras to flawless selfies."
"Not just for short hair, this versatile product can be used to add texture to both curly hair and long layers, [and it helps] give roots more volume," says Dyer. "To use, just add a small amount to your fingertips and massage at the scalp." A little goes a long way.
Calisti says, "I love using this hairspray on set when I have to change hairstyles. It will keep good hold in the hair, but still allows it to be flexible so I can I interchange styles."
In other words, it's not going to leave your hair feeling too stiff or give it that dreaded hairspray crunch. Instead, it'll provide just enough hold to maintain your style while still letting you run your fingers through your hair. It also means you can easily change things up in between washes.
She adds that she also sometimes likes to mix the paste with a little serum to cocktail for finishing short cuts and super straight sleek hair.
