The other review here was from a girl with long hair that didn't like this stuff. I am a guy with short hair. I think that's what makes all the difference. If you have short hair and want that separated yet natural look that movie, music, tv stars often have than this is the product to do it. It can recover you from a bad haircut. They say to use an amount the size of a pea or a dime or something like that. If you have so much hair that you need to glob the stuff on it will not work well. You should use just a little right after a shower while your hair is damp (not soaked, but not yet dry). Give it a good toweling then apply immediately. Have fun with it.. it can shape your hair anyways you want yet when it dries it looks like it was supposed to be shaped that way. Not like some pomades that leave you looking like a greased weasel. Also it smells really good, but not too strong and washes out completely.

This review is from: Aveda Control Paste Finishing Paste with Organic Flax Seed, 1.7-Ounce Jar (Health and Beauty)

I've tried lots of different brands of styling wax and keep coming back to Aveda despite it being relatively difficult to find (Aveda controls who can sell many of their products and I don't like having to walk into snooty salons to buy this stuff where they try to sell you tons of product). Aveda Control Paste is the only styling wax that will give me a textured look without making my hair look greasy or weighing it down.

I have very short-to-medium length fine hair and unless I use a post-styling product, my hair just looks limp and thin. Control Paste gives it a little bit of extra body and volume and again, gives my layers a casual "piecy" look. I've even tried AVEDA Custom Control Gel Wax 3.4 fl oz/100 ml and this stuff is much much better -- the gel is too heavy and weighs down the layers.

While at first glance, it is expensive, one container lasts a LONG time -- over a year for me. You don't use very much -- just enough to get your finger tips sticky. Also, be sure to put the lid on tightly so that it doesn't dry out.

I am a woman with just below the jaw length, heavy thick hair with a natural wave. I let my hair air dry after I wash it, and put this in when either still a bit damp or totally dry. It's fantastic! It smells great and makes your hair look wonderful. I agree with the other reviewer that your hair looks better as the day goes on. Many times I get up the next morning to my hair still looking great. I can't live without this.
