Choosing putties

Putty is a flexible styler for shaping hair with texture and hold. Start with the feel you want: a softer putty suits reshaping through the day, while a firmer one helps a style stay put. Fine hair often does better with lighter formulas, while thick or coarse hair may need more substance.

Read the ingredient list and check whether the product is labeled for your hair type. Consider the finish, since some putties dry matte and others leave a little sheen. Size matters too: a small tin is easy to carry, while a larger jar suits regular use. For comparison, see pomades or gels.

How to use putty

Warm a small amount, about the size of a pea for short hair, between your palms. Work it through towel-dried or dry hair, focusing on the ends and the areas you want to shape. Add more only as needed, since too much can look heavy.

Questions about putties

Is putty the same as clay?

Not exactly. Putty is usually more flexible than clays, which tend to give a more matte, textured look. Compare product descriptions to see which fits your routine.

How much should I use?

Start small and build up gradually. It is easier to add product than to remove it.
