Reviews

Not the best for straight hair

"This is an okay product, it definitely mattes your hair but doesn’t have a great hold and it just made my hair look fluffy rather than giving it texture and style. I even tried applying more product but it just made my hair heavy and limp. It may be because I have straight short hair but just wasn’t overly impressed for the price."

Ross (2/5)

Kevin W. (3/5)

Very good and recommend

"Very good product. I've tried a few Matt pastes recently and none have been as good as they used to be. Seems a few brands have changed for the worse. Apothecary is very good and holds really well without drying your hair."

Stephen D. (5/5)

Matte Paste

"Smells really nice, and holds well"

James F. (5/5)

Best Product

"This is by far the best hair paste I've ever used. Strong hold, but still malleable. Washes out easily. Non-greasy nor grainy, with a light but pleasant smell"

Justin R. (5/5)

Great Company and Products

"Amazing product and an amazing company with great customer service, I can’t recommend them enough."

Duncan (. (5/5)

Matte hair control for this older man.

"As I have got older, my hair has got thinner and more difficult to keep under control. The matte paste does this brilliantly and smells great to."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It all depends on the look you want.

    Damp hair will provide more of a shine and will absorb the product better leaving a more controllable style.

    Dry hair will allow you to create a more matte finish, but you could sacrifice some workability.

  • We recommend applying only a pea sized amount to the hair.

    If you have longer hair, or want a bit more hold, then add more as you see fit.

  • Yes! Our water based products wash out easily, but wax based products can be harder to remove especially if you use a lot.

    We recommend Apothecary 87 Botanical Shampoo to wash out any product. It will even remove a whole tub in one wash!

  • We estimate that our products last 1-3 months with moderate usage.

    This can change depending on how much product you use at a time, as well as how often you apply it to your hair.
