Jonathan Product Dirt Texturizing Paste(R) 3.35 oz

After many years of searching this is probably the best hair product ever made for stubborn hair. Just a brief background, I'm Asian, a guy, short straight black hair, that just wants to stand perpendicular from my scalp, yes even on the sides, so I look like a koosh ball without any product in my hair.

I tried gel: rinses out nicely, holds very well, but clumps, looks and feels like plastic when dry (and always looks wet)
I tried mousse: rinses out easily, holds ok, doesn't last long though. Always looks wet.
I tried pomade: holds very well, but is sticky to the point where on a windy day in the city, you have wonderful random bits in your hair. It also takes maybe 2+ times to shampoo it out!
I tried wax: forget about rinsing it, takes so many shampoo sessions to really get it out, holds very well, also sticky like pomade
I tried matte: rinses out nicely, holds not to well, but suffices... However, they don't tend to last for the long haul...Read more

As a guy with very fine and straight hair I've always had a tough time keeping my hair from sticking out in all directions if I have it any length longer than a buzz cut. Dirt is just perfect for me though. It starts out as a semi-firm paste but melts when you rub it in your palms before applying. I'm guessing it gets firm again once it's in your hair but it's spread out enough you don't feel that. So my hair gets good control without being sticky or overly oily. Just remember you only need to apply a small bit, a dab'll do ya.

Thank you Jonathan! This product does exactly what he says it should. I've been looking for a product to create some texture to my hair, and this is the best around. My shorter ear-length hair tends to just hang, and with Dirt, I am able to create a fun, funky, texturized look that lasts all day. The container lasts forever, as you only need a little bit to create a great look. I'm hooked.
