FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Play Hard Matte Paste Easy to Wash Out?
Yes. It is water-based and washes out easily with warm water and regular shampoo. Despite the strong hold, it does not leave heavy waxy buildup when used as directed.
How Much Play Hard Matte Paste Should I Use?
Start with a small coin-sized amount for short to medium hair. For thicker or longer hair, add a small amount more. A little goes a long way due to the strong hold.
Can it be used on all hair types?
Play Hard works best on straight, wavy, and thick hair that needs strong control and a matte finish. It can be used on curly hair for structure but is designed more for shaping than curl definition.
How Long Does a Jar of Play Hard Matte Paste Last?
With regular daily use, a 100ml jar typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks. With lighter or occasional use, it can last longer.
Is Play Hard Strong Hold Matte Paste Wind, Rain, and Sweat Proof?
Play Hard holds well against wind and light moisture. It performs reliably during normal daily activity and light sweating. Heavy rain or intense sweating can soften the hold, but styles can usually be reshaped.
What’s the Difference Between Play Hard Strong Hold Matte Paste and Similar Products on the Market?
Play Hard delivers strong hold with a dry matte finish without greasiness. Many strong-hold pastes rely on heavy waxes that feel sticky or hard to wash out. Play Hard uses bentonite clay and a balanced wax system to provide firm control, easy washout, and everyday usability.
