In general hair pastes are a bit thicker in consistency than pomades, and their consistency and texture can range from something like a thick toothpaste to tacky glue. A hair paste usually gives your hair a medium to very firm hold, and can leave your hair with a natural matte finish or add a touch of shine.

What is better pomade or paste?

Pomades are great if you use a hair comb to style your hair. Texture Paste leaves your hair messy or styled, but it will still move in a gust of wind. Texture Paste is typically shine-free, won't clump up, and can be restyled throughout the day.

Is hair paste bad for your hair?

Styling paste is not bad for hair, but it's important to be aware of the ingredients in your product. Drying alcohols, salts and harsh chemicals can dehydrate and damage your hair. A high-quality styling paste should have water (sometimes listed as “aqua” or “eau”) as the first ingredient.
