I have been using Shu for many years. I ordered from Sephora this time instead the Shu store. It doesn’t even smell the same. They have added some filler for profit, I am not sure, but it is a fake and total waste of money. Go to the real store.

I’m really picky about how my hair products smell and this has a light gender neutral scent that’s nice and doesn’t overpower my perfume. I have very short hair so I don’t need much and a little does go a long way. One container lasts me over 1 year! I put it in my hair before and after blow drying. It washes out really well and thins down with water really well if you need/want to do that. Worth every penny and then some!

Disappointing Holds but then left residue in hair

I love the smell and you just need to use a little and activate it with your fingers. It’s pricey and hope it will last me for awhile.

expensive it may be but it is SO worth it. I have curly hair I keep in a sort of rocker style shag with a lot of texture. This is my holy grail of holy grails for really sculpting that look, especially on day 2 or 3 hair when I need some frizz smoothing and extra definition on the waves. It's very lightweight and gives a flexible hold so no greasy or crunchy hair here even if you're a bit heavy handed. you can easily restyle and it washes out with ease. hands down one of the best pomades I've ever used.

I tried Ouai hair paste and didn't like the feel of it on my hair. I also didn't think it did much to my hair. However, this; I love!!! I have medium thickness hair and it works great on my baby hair/ hairline. I can put my hair up- no hairspray or gel needed.

Really nice pomade without leaving any white fluff and its not sticky

I definitely recommend this to anyone with short hair that needs a product for styling. The smell is fresh and honestly not a men's smell or a female smell. So that is a plus for someone who might be concerned about that. It is a white paste, and a little goes a long way. I applied onto damp hair, starting with small amounts of paste to work with and evenly distributed throughout. Once I got the hold I was comfortable with I combed through and my son's hair was so tamed, I was shocked. Usually, I have to use a few products to achieve that 'not a hair out of place look'. I styled his hair at 8am for school and he went the whole day with it looking great. About 5pm some hair fell out of place from playing and what not and while we were heading out I combed my fingers through his hair and his hair went right back into his style I had put it into before. What I really love about the Ishi sculpt paste is the amount of control it has without being greasy, flaky, hard, or crusty. It creates a very flexible, workable texture. I also applied onto dry hair to play with the product a bit and smoothed the paste into my hands with a bit of water which made for a controlled look that wasn't as dapper as the first style but still a very nice casual look. Again, great control and lasted a long time and smells great. I will be buying this product now for my boys it is worth it and you won't regret it.

This is great for sectioning to make a piecey look. Works wonders for smoothing fly aways and frizz. Also has a lovely scent!

Like the light scent and the feel of this paste helps keep my style lasting all day. Very good product to have on hand.
