R+Co CONTROL Flexible Paste 2.2 oz — Strong, Reworkable Hold with Semi-Matte Finish

This 2.2 oz jar of CONTROL Flexible Paste by R+Co shapes hair without stiffness or sticky residue while offering a light conditioning boost. Infused with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Passion Flower Extract, Mango Fruit Extract, and Ginger Root Extract, it helps maintain moisture, soften strands, and enhance surface sheen. The product arrives scented with Relative Paradise, a signature fragrance that complements styling without overpowering.

How does CONTROL Flexible Paste deliver hold without feeling crunchy?

The formula uses flexible polymers that bind and separate hair fibers so styles stay intact but remain touchable. You can layer small amounts to intensify hold without creating buildup, and it rinses cleanly at wash time.

• Strong, yet pliable hold for reworking throughout the day
• Semi-matte finish that reduces shine while retaining dimension
• No sticky residue or stiff, crunchy texture
• Small jar size ideal for trial or travel

What conditioning benefits do the botanical extracts provide?

Key plant extracts support hair health by retaining moisture and smoothing the cuticle, improving manageability during styling. They work on the hair surface to reduce roughness and add subtle luster without weighing hair down.

• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract helps moisture retention and softness
• Passion Flower Extract contributes conditioning and a smoother feel
• Mango Fruit Extract supplies vitamins that help soften and improve combability
• Ginger Root Extract adds antioxidants and enhances natural shine

How should I apply it for the best results?

Start with a pea-sized amount and warm the paste between your palms before working it through lightly damp or dry hair. Add more sparingly to build stronger hold or to define textured areas; concentrate on roots for lift or mid-lengths and ends for separation.

• Work a small amount into palms until pliable
• Apply to lightly damp hair for shape, or dry hair for texture and definition
• Layer incrementally—more product increases hold without clumping
• Style with fingers for tousled looks or comb for polished finishes
