How do you apply this to your hair? I tried rubbing a pea-sized amount between my palms and applying it to my dry hair. But it was so sticky!

What I do is get a small amount on my finger tip and rub it against all of my other fingers and then run it all over my hair. Your hair at this point should have a good amount of the pomade throughout. I then take a smaller amount on my finger tips and use that to sculpt how I want my hair to be. Hope this helps.

The key for this product to work is the style of your hair. It needs to be pretty short so you can start at the crown of your head and work forward pulling it up away from your scalp to create a sort of "spikey" look. It is somewhat sticky and that is what keeps the hair in place. I dont think it would be good for longer hair at all. My stylist uses what amounts to be about the tip of a finger and gets it all over both hands and then sculpts the hair. I hope that helps.

I apply this to my hair after I dry it actually. I prefer a less "wet" look. I rub it in my hands really well at first then make my hair look messy. My hair doesn't get stiff or crispy...it is easy to readjust throughout the day. I do have to wash my hands after application, but oh well. I use less as my hair gets longer.

The trick is to rub it together for 20-30 second or so to get it warm then runit through the hair. You can also leave your hair damp as that helps too but you will have to rinse your hands off real good. I like it better than the pomade as its not nearly as shiny nor greasy.

The hair should be slightly damp. And it does need to be worked for a bit. If its dry it sticks and clumps.

The paste, is terrible. Try the pomade. You rub it in ur palms then through ur hair. You can brush it through works better on short hair. Or u can slick back or spike longer hair

I have very fine, curly hair and have found the best for me is to use only on wet hair. I keep a spray bottle to wet my hair if I am not washing in the morning and then apply a small amount of oil on my hands and rub it in. Start with just a drop or two because too much and you will look greasy.

I don't use a lot of it, maybe 3 or 4 foam sprays into my hands. I have short fine hair. I put it all over.I also don't use it all the time. I alternate between Paul Mitchell sculpting foam and this. Does your hair feeltacking after you blow dry? Mine doesn't. It really does make it take shape though.

Not on my hair, but definitely is sticky on your hands when applying. Again it seems different for my stylist.

I mix it in a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon because a metal spoon would ruin the nutrients of the powder. Try mixing with oil or coconut milk to get a smoother texture and make it easier to spread. I have natural, coily and dense hair. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly!

The instructions indicate that it should be used on towel-dry hair: thus, still somewhat damp. This helps with the even distribution of the product. Use on dry hair would result in over-application, which would leave the hair or scalp oily or sticky.

I've found that it is too thick to use alone, it makes my scalp itchy! The way I use it is to mix one tablespoon to 1/4 cup of conditioner and use as a pre-poo or co-wash, let it sit on my hair for 45 minutes, then rinse out. Also, it really does make your hair grow. I had a balding area from damage from years of relaxer, so I also mix a little (maybe a few teaspoons) with jojoba oil (1 tablespoon) and a few drops of rosemary oil, massaged into the thinning areas of my scalp. No need to rinse out as the other oils cut the thick, stickiness of the castor oil. Respond back and let me know what other products you've tried.

It will depend on your hair type. I am Caucasian with fairly thick hair. I use a TINY bit rubbed between my palms to smooth flyaways, and it does not make my hair greasy because it's such a small amount. If you are looking for an all over hair moisturizing treatment, I'd try coconut oil instead.

It pretty much "gunks up" your hair. I wouldn't advise using a Q-tip as I'd be afraid the cotton would stick to your hair! Maybe you should ask someone that actually likes/uses the product. Mine's going into the trash.

I use a little bit with my normal shampoo every time I wash my hair, which is every other day if I can help it. I have had a friend say that it dried her hair out, so make sure to properly condition (I'm not a hair stylist or anything, but that's what I would do!)

I have shoulder length curly hair. I rub a quarter-sized amount between my palms and apply to damp (not wet) hair, starting at the ends and working my way upwards. Then I comb it through to make sure it's evenly distributed and scrunch my hair to blow dry with a diffuser.

a friend of mine recommended this to me at first I didn't understand how to use the product because it doesn't give you very good instructions so she had to explain to me how to use it what she told me to do put it on my dry scalp squeeze the top of bottle it had enough drops to put on top of your head you spread it all around your head. Once you're done you massage your hair. This product has worked wonders for me. I recommend it to anyone trying to grow their hair...Good luck ☺

What exactly do you mean ? the consistency is like water very liquidy. You use it on damp hair and when my hair drys omg it feels so soft.

It is not a wide spray . Simply spray it into the palm until quarter sized. Then run it throughout wet hair. You can blow dry after or let it air dry. Then Brush your silky hair. :-)

Towel dry and apply. Style afterwards. Do not put in dry hair. It will look greasy.

Hi Paul,I really don't know but you might try putting a little proxide, water and shampoo in a squirt bottle and putting it on your hair. Wait about 20 minutes and see if it evens it out. If that doesn't work call a hair dresser and scream "HELP"

The only way to make that work, would be to water it down. This treatment is very thick and may leave the hair greasy if left in. The treatment is an amazing product though, it leaves the hair soft, shiny and tangle free! It's perfect and extremely with the money!!! Hope this helps
