    I loooove this wax! On my asian hair, I really can't use too much, although on finer hair I think this could be an issue. I love a very piecey look and this gives it so easily. One friend was...

    This is the ONLY product that holds down my new growth/wiry grays/heat-shocked post flat-ironing flyaways. I like to smooth this over my hair with my fingers and then I follow up with the matching...

    This is the holiest HG I've ever bought. It totally gets rid of frizz while giving a nice shine to my hair. It is also the only thing that gives me the piecey look. It not only makes my hair look...

    I use this, in combination with Aveda's Be Curly, and it keeps my wavy hair under control all day. Stong scent, but well worth it. Use only a small amount, though. My only gripe is the...

    Control Paste is one of my staples. I love the scent, and the texture is just in between a cream pomade and a wax. Separates hair beautifully, you just have to be careful to not use to much or it...

    Great smell- earthy but not "Earth Mother" if you get my drift. My boyfriend and I actually both use it- him for control, me for the piece-y look.

    I just grew my VERY fine hair from a buzzcut to a short layered bob, and my hairstylist (while bobbing away) suggested using this on damp hair before the blow dry, pulling as I go. She showed me...

    This is a non-greasy, non-sticky, paste that gives me the perfect texture and pieceiness for my fine straight layered bob. Takes away that overdone too perfect look without weighing my hair down. ...

    I have short cut that hair layers and lots of texture, so naturally I needed a texturizer that could also help with my majorly frizzy hair. My hairstylist used this on me after haircut, and I liked...

    I love this product. My stylist uses it everytime I get a hair cut. You just need to know how much of this product to use. I usually put some on my palms and rub my hands together so it's evenly...

    Another winner for me from Aveda! <P> This gives me perfectly tousled and piecey hair. Like othrs said, if you use too much then you will end up with a big greasy mess. I use a La Mer...

    I mostly use Defining Whip, especially for work as it gives my hair a softer apppearance. But when I want to funk it out, spike it up, I use control paste. The great thing about this besides its...

    So far this is the best matt paste I've known, which is still not good for me. It cannot tame my Asian coarse straight hair fully (maybe 70%) and I can't do those crazy hair styles I see on the...

    For several months I was hooked on Aveda's defining whip, however I thought I would give the control paste a try since I had been lemming it forever. I thought perhaps the waxy texture would be...

    This is decent. It smells good, but I wouldn't say it's an overall fantastic product. It's waxy and definitely tames flyaways and helps style hair, but I definitely think you could find the same...

    This is a staple in my hair diet. I like to use it for that "funky chunky" look. Too much weighs down my hair so I have to be careful.
