As you might expect from a line founded by a celebrity hairstylist, GO247's Texture Paste delivers red carpet-worthy results (were not surprised it won a Details magazine award in 2012). The flexible formula provides 24-hour volume and definition with a smooth matte finish and a pliable, comfortable hold. Unlike hair gels or some other pastes, it results in a softer, more natural look.
First off, my hair has 3 "cow licks" in it. Therefore, most products wont work on my hair. When I used this a few times, it did do an admirable job but not the perfect job. My friend used it and he has what I consider "normal" hair. He loves the product as he can control his hair freely.
4When I was a kid, females used you always touch my hair and tell me how soft it is. I was always worried that this meant I had thin hair and I'd start losing it as I got older. Thankfully this was not the case.
However, my hair is very soft, and many products simply don't work for me without using to excess. For a few years prior to receiving this product in my Birchbox, I used a similar product from another brand. I was happy with it, for the most part, but always felt like there was a fine line between getting the control I wanted and using too much product.
The GO247 paste is a better fit for me. This clay / paste gives you great control without making your hair look slick or overly conditioned. Even if I accidentally use a little too much, I don't get a styled greasy look or feel with this product. Just the thicker texture and control that I like from a hair product.
I'm not really the guy to review this product because I don't use any gel, spray, pomade, tonic, etc. These products get in the way of a man because they melt on a hot day and are otherwise too high-maintenance. Nonetheless, worked as advertised. A pea-size amount was enough to affect all my hair.
3I received my sample in a birchbox and gave it a try when my normal hair gel/grease ran out. I liked the texture it gave my hair, but when I tried to wash it out using shampoo in the evening it seemed like it would never come out and I still felt the texture in my hair after washing several times.
2Great product. I have used all kinds of hair products and this is one of my favorites. I go a long time between haircuts, getting it cut short and changing the style as it grows (I'm cheap and busy). I have generally changed the type of product I use depending on how long my hair is, starting with a testure paste like this when it is short. As it gets longer, a paste generally makes my hair look like it has a lot of buildup and kind of dirty for my taste, so I will switch out to a lighter gel or cream. Not so with this. It feels very light in my hair. It doesn't feel like I am wearing anything, but I can tell I am when I look in the mirror. The volume, control and texture are amazing. Also, for a paste, this goes into damp hair better than any that I have tried before.
