The Label. M Matt Paste 120ml is a versatile styling product that provides long-lasting control, texture, and definition to all hair types. First released in 2005, it has become a popular choice among men and women alike. If you’re blow-drying, use it as an opportunity to add lift and volume by tousling and finger-combing against the direction growth while doing it.

Although it’s great for layered and messy hairstyles, or spikes and quiffs, you can still use it for more defined (but still relaxed) styles as well. Reduces crazing and is useful for pouring. Dries with good film flexibility but a slight haze on the surface. Can be used to make an acrylic adhere better to chalky surfaces. GAC 900 It was opaque but still slightly more transparent than I expected as you can see from the swatch on the left. Overall, the main thing that sets these products apart is the hold. If you’re looking for a stronger hold but still want the same low-shine finish of label.m matt paste, consider going for Claymation instead. 2. Label M Matt Paste Vs American Crew Fiber Overall, it looks sleek. Everything about it oozes “professional stylist”– it’s what you’d expect to find on the shelf of a salon.

It’s always easier to apply creamy hair products to clean hair than it is with oily or greasy hair. It mixed easily with fluid acrylic, I chose a transparent Quinacridone Magenta, that created a gorgeous glaze, or rather lens, over an earlier painted mark. Label.m Matt Paste produces a low-shine finish that’s best suited to messier and more textured hairstyles. You can choose to simply towel-dry it until it’s damp or blow-dry it. Apply the label.m matt paste to damp hair if you’d prefer a bit more shine, or dry hair if you want a stronger hold and a more matte finish.

If you were planning on applying some sea salt spray or other texturizing pre-styler, it’s a good idea to do it before blow-drying to really maximize the effect. 2. Break Down A Dime-Sized AmountI found it quite hard to achieve decent strings after mixing the tar gel with fluid acrylic, and I found the working time was very short, before it started being too gloopy to make long strings. However, when used neat, it was very easy to control and create strings, loops and other effects. This may be because it needs to mixed and left to sit overnight. These drips that were unmixed, see the swatch on the right, were completely clear and levelled out quite a lot, as well as being un-absorbent on the surface.
