What’s the difference between Manipulator Putty and the original wax?
Manipulator Putty delivers a matte finish and firmer hold compared to the original wax. It's ideal for chunkier, textured styles with long-lasting grip and no shine.
-
Does it work on thick or unruly hair?
Yes – its strong hold and creamy texture make it perfect for thick, coarse, or unruly hair that needs serious control, separation, and hold that lasts all day.
-
Can I rework my style after applying?
While the putty sets firmer than the wax, you can still reshape your look during the day, especially if applied to damp hair and styled as it dries.
-
Will it leave residue or weigh my hair down?
Not at all. This formula is designed to deliver texture and control without stickiness or build-up. It rinses out easily with shampoo.
-
Is it suitable for everyday use?
Absolutely. Use it daily to define styles, control frizz, or add structure without shine. It’s ideal for bold looks or subtle everyday texture.
