Hair Putty, Cream & Paste

Our hair putty, cream and paste collection provides versatile styling solutions for shaping, defining and refining a wide range of hairstyles. These products offer flexible hold, natural texture and enhanced control without stiffness, making them suitable for daily grooming. They work especially well when used alongside tools such as hair brushes and combs for smoothing and finishing.

What Are Hair Putty, Cream & Paste?

Hair putty, cream and paste are styling products designed to add texture, control and shape to the hair. Putty offers a strong yet flexible hold with a matte finish, while creams provide smoother definition and light control. Paste sits in the middle, offering mouldable, medium hold with a natural finish. These formulas are ideal for messy styles, controlled waves, defined curls, short textured cuts and everyday shaping.

Benefits and Features of the Welzo Hair Putty, Cream & Paste Collection

  • Flexible hold: Control without crunch, stiffness or flaking.
  • Natural texture: Perfect for undone, tousled or matte looks.
  • Enhanced definition: Supports detailed styling and separation.
  • Lightweight feel: Avoids heaviness associated with gels or waxes.
  • Suitable for all hair types: Works on straight, wavy, curly or coily hair.
  • Humidity-resistant options: Helps styles stay in place in warm or damp conditions.

Why Are Hair Putty, Cream & Paste Important?

These styling products offer greater versatility than gels or sprays. Putty provides texture and strength, cream offers smoothness and lightweight control, and paste delivers mouldable structure suitable for both polished and relaxed looks. This allows users to create personalised styles that stay touchable and natural-looking. For enhanced shine or frizz control, they pair well with hydrating products like hair serums.

  • Apply to dry or slightly damp hair, depending on the desired finish.
  • Work through the mid-lengths and ends before shaping the roots.
