 Doesn't provide great hold February 17, 2010
Leanne (San Diego, CA)
My hair is currently cut into a layered bob that reaches about two inches past my ears, and I'm trying to grow it out a bit more. This product was recommended to me on a beauty forum as a great product to "piece out" the layers. While I love the smell and the texture of it, I've found that it just doesn't hold my layers in place in a lasting way.
According to the product description, Control Paste is meant to help create texture: "Loose and piece-y, or stand-up and messy-new Control Paste gives hair a high-textured, low-sheen look that's smooth, not sticky." When I first apply it, the layers in my hair really stand out, but they disappear in less than an hour. I've even tried zapping my hair with hairspray, and have tried layering other products on top of the Control Paste, but nothing seems to keep those layers standing out. Perhaps my hair is too thick, but the layers just sink back into the rest of my hair a short while after using this.
I've also experimented with various methods for applying it, and it seems to work best if you emulsify it between your fingertips (not in your palms) for a few seconds, and then use your fingertips to go down individual chunks or sections of that hair that you want to piece out.
One thing I do really like about this is that it's great for keeping those pesky gray hairs flat. I get my hair colored, but the grays love to stick up along my part and hair line, and this does an excellent job of smoothing them down and keeping them there all day.
Overall, I love the idea of using an organic product on my hair, but this just doesn't provide the lasting hold I need to bring out my hair's texture and layers, even though it's designed to do just that. For that reason, I would give it 3 1/2 stars.
 The only paste that works for me... December 13, 2009

I've tried lots of different brands of styling wax and keep coming back to Aveda despite it being relatively difficult to find (Aveda controls who can sell many of their products and I don't like having to walk into snooty salons to buy this stuff where they try to sell you tons of product). Aveda Control Paste is the only styling wax that will give me a textured look without making my hair look greasy or weighing it down.
I have very short-to-medium length fine hair and unless I use a post-styling product, my hair just looks limp and thin. Control Paste gives it a little bit of extra body and volume and again, gives my layers a casual "piecy" look. I've even tried AVEDA Custom Control Gel Wax 3.4 fl oz/100 ml and this stuff is much much better -- the gel is too heavy and weighs down the layers.
While at first glance, it is expensive, one container lasts a LONG time -- over a year for me. You don't use very much -- just enough to get your finger tips sticky. Also, be sure to put the lid on tightly so that it doesn't dry out.

Great and not sticky August 7, 2009
The Mariners Fan (Seattle, Wa)
This product works well for longer hair as well, you should not be using more than a nickel sized amount otherwise it will be overwhelmingly sticky and gunky. I just dab my finger in it and smooth it on my edges then brush it down, and i also just place a little on the ends of my bangs to keep them place and not flying everywhere. The great thing is that this product doesn't build up.
Price Check on Aisle 4! March 10, 2009
Robert Hearne (Denver, CO USA)
I'm a big fan of this product and have been using it since it first became available. I've tried other brands, and even other Aveda lines, but nothing works nearly as well for my frizzy hair.
But if you have an Aveda salon nearby, don't bother buying it here. Like most of the Aveda products through Amazon and its third party sellers, you're going to get hit with a hefty mark-up for the privilege of buying online. Support your local salon and get it from them!
Excellent hair product - the only styling product you'll need! January 6, 2009
Colleen T. Gish (Tempe, AZ)
This product is the only styling product I have to use. I love the fragrance, styling power, and ease of use.
