very hard texture [SEP] i had seen a video where this product was used and the person raved about it i have to say that i do like the scent of it but for me it is a bit difficult to work with the wax paste is very firm but you can loosen it up by applying heat from a blow dryer next my hair is quite short but i felt like i had to put a lot of this product on to get the desired effect and then my hair felt a bit gummy i have to say the thing i liked most about this product was that it is quite water soluable ie it rinses off your hands and hair easilyi have to say that i probably will not be purchasing this product again just does not seem to be what i need plus i think it is a bit pricey but it seems like it would last a good long while
