Overview

Working this matte paste through short, dry hair builds texture and separation with a firm hold. Kevin.Murphy made Night.Rider pliable, so hair can be shaped and reshaped before it sets.

Strong hold that remains pliable suits short cuts that need definition and movement. The listing mentions both a matte texture and a slick, sleek look, and gives no ingredients.

Who it's for

Short cuts on men and women that need piecey texture and firm hold are the target. Long hair will find a paste this firm hard to distribute.

Performance notes

Hold comes from a dense paste that firms as it sets, so there is a short window to shape before it locks. Pliability means it can be reworked with fingers, which helps when restyling texture through the day.
