Label.m Matt Paste 50ml

Product Information

The dried texture was interesting in how it reflected light, and the glaze effect, when it was painted over with a transparent colour, was very notable and pleasing. Overall, it looks sleek. Everything about it oozes “professional stylist”– it’s what you’d expect to find on the shelf of a salon. Dries to a hard, stiff film, making it useful for priming canvases if stiffness is required. It can be used as a rabbit skin glue alternative. GAC 500 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 Amount

There’s a small amount of resistance but it’s barely noticeable. I usually some resistance as a good thing as it’s a sign that you’ll have some grip to keep the style in place once you’re done.

Start working the paste into your hair, distributing it in every direction, and coating the strands from root-to-tip. It was easy to skim the top of the surface with a wet palette knife, to decrease the texture with both the pure paste and also the paste that had been mixed with acrylic. I was surprised at how smooth you could make the surface. Plus, the awareness that the product has gotten as a professional product and fashion industry favorite does lead to a bit of a premium.

One of the advantages of using Label. M Matt Paste 120ml is its versatility. It can be used to create a variety of hairstyles with different levels of hold depending on how much product is applied. Whether you have short or long hair, this paste can help you achieve your desired look while keeping your hair in place all day long. However, they do feel quite different in consistency. American Crew Fiber does really have a “fiber-like” and resinous feel to it.

Clear Tar Gel, Leveling Gel and Glazing Liquid affect paint’s viscosity, flow and drying time, but all are levelling, smooth and transparent. If your hair is on the longer side, I would say this product isn’t durable enough to get you through the day. But pastes are considered a short hair product anyway, so that’s not unexpected. INGREDIENTS 8.0/10 It was quite absorbent as a layer to paint over, but the overpainted colour began to bleed out around the beads, making sharp edges hard to achieve. The hardest and least flexible of all Golden products, it increases film hardness and needs to be used in pure form on rigid surfaces. It also needs to dry at a minimum of 21 degrees. It improves adhesion to non-porous surfaces. Dries to a high gloss with an excellent transparency. Useful for hard edge techniques as it has less pull than other acrylic compositions. GAC 400 Upon the initial applications you can feel the activation of a strong hold and tact straight away, but this tact fades the more the hair is reworked leaving a slightly more natural feeling.

Label.m Matt Paste produces a low-shine finish that’s best suited to messier and more textured hairstyles.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. Most mediums are available in gloss, matt or semi-matt and you can use a varnish over a finished acrylic painting to unify the finish whether you want a matt, gloss or semi-gloss surface. This is why we chose not to look at sheen for this comparison. Label M is a reputable brand with people who know what they are doing, so you can be rest assured that it won’t damage your hair. While the brand does claim to create products to promote healthy hair, I don’t think the matte paste improves the health of your hair, it just maintains the hair’s current health. The Matte Paste’s ingredients help to coat and protect the hair from environmental damage, which I find handy when I use it as a pre-styler, because it gives me a barrier of protection from the heat styling.
