I have the mixed blessing of thick hair – as far as I’m concerned, a full mane translates to tough to style. When the product label reads “firm hold,” it usually doesn’t apply to my headstrong strands. But “molding mud”? We might be onto something here. It’s actually recommended for thicker and layered hair types. While Sebastian‘s cream won’t meld my mane into a faux-hawk (purely for the sake of making a point, of course!), it’s good for a textured, tousled look – about as piecey as I ever want to get anyway. Especially when I work it into dry hair. (Maybe it just didn’t dry the right way when I applied it to my wet hair – my ends went wild, turning in all the wrong directions.) This mud is best on day-after hair that’s been styled with a curling iron. Already kind of messy, I maximize the muss and go for full-on beachy, rumpled locks. On Amazon
How does this compare to their mud from the 80’s that people used to start dreads, among other things?
While my hair will hold a heat setting for a long time, I never bother with styling products cause they tend to do squat. Thick full head of hair with a mind of its own.
Yes, I know the mud you speak of! This is not sticky like that, I hated that mud because you needed to wash your hair that same day or you will look homeless and greasy. This is not as dramatic but it’s more manageable for less extreme hair styles.
