Matt Paste gives a messy, natural look that lasts all day, with defined, easily moldable, residue-free hair. Shiny Wax delivers impeccable shine, highlighting every detail with softness and control. Both turn creative and professional styling into an effortless result.
How to use
-
Matt Paste: rub a small amount between your hands and distribute evenly through dry or slightly damp hair, styling until you get the desired look.
-
Shiny Wax: apply a small amount to slightly damp hair for a natural shine, or to dry hair to define details with precision.
- Air-dry for a natural effect, or use styling tools for a more polished result.
Routine
Use Matt Paste to create texture and volume on short or medium-length hair, paired with a light-hold spray for extra staying power. For Shiny Wax, combine with a lightweight Nika Hair Spray to enhance shine and extend the style. Avoid applying too much to prevent a heavy feel, and distribute evenly.
