Regular price £23.00
Unit price per

Play is for added extra umf. Great for finessing and finishing. She is soft like butter, but not greasy. She’s stronger than Wave for when you need holding (don’t we all sometimes).

Fragrance Notes

A sophisticated woody fragrance where fresh mandarin, neroli and cardamon are warmed by nutmeg and saffron leading to notes of pistachio enwrapped with rose, jasmine and orange blossom enriched with amber, sandalwood, and vanilla.

 

Please Note, Play is formulated with beeswax and lanolin

How to use Play

  • Curl Cream

    Great as a curl cream on shorter hair, spread it through while hair is wet, squeeze and wait (or diffuse)

    1
  • Paste

    Spread over hands and shuffle the paste into your roots to get a more lived in texture and more vavavoom

    2
  • Balm

    On a wet hand you can mix a little Wave and Play together to create a slightly softer balm, this is a softer hold than play, and easier to spread.

    3
  • Mould & Hold

    Use on straight hair to mould and hold flicks and create more texture and fun.

Play FAQs

Find the most frequently asked questions about Play below.
  • Nope! Play has more of an earthy, spicy citrus scent thanks to oils like nutmeg, neroli, turmeric, and bergamot. It’s warm, clean smelling !

  • Play has a lot more hold than Wave ! But it still has a touchable finish where the hair can still move. You’ll be surprised at how buttery the consistency is but how matt it goes once it’s in your hair. (Please note if you put too much in whilst it’s wet especially on straight hair! Then it may feel too heavy so use small amounts ! )

  • Play is a flexible styling paste that’s great for creating shape, separation, texture, and soft hold. It’s not crunchy, sticky, or stiff—it’s great for sculpting curls, controlling fluffy ends, or adding structure to shorter styles. It can even be used to smooth ponytails or scrunch into air-dried hair for definition.

  • Yes! Play works on all hair types. Use it to define waves, smooth frizz, create piecey texture on short hair, or add grip and structure when styling.

    • Lanolin helps with texture and moisture—it gives Play that creamy hold and adds softness without heaviness.
    • Beeswax helps create shape and hold while sealing in moisture.
    • Soybean oil is packed with nutrients and fatty acids to help condition hair and reduce breakage.
    • Nutmeg, turmeric, bergamot & neroli oils not only smell beautiful, but also bring antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to the scalp and hair.
    • Ozokerite wax helps give the paste a thicker, shapeable consistency that’s great for styling and control.
  • Yes! Play is free from SLS, parabens, and all the usual nasties.

  • Nope. A little goes a long way—start small and work through dry or damp hair. If you use the right amount, it won’t flake or feel sticky.

  • No - Play contains lanolin (from sheep’s wool) and beeswax, so it’s not vegan. Both are used because they help give the product its soft, flexible hold and lock in moisture without heaviness. They’re natural byproducts (not harmful to animals), but I understand they may not be for everyone.

Great hold, not sticky!

I always find that clay products like this make my hair feel like straw or really sticky. This one holds really nicely and doesn't make me feel like I need to wash it out! A little goes a long way and it smells delicious.

Is this the best paste ever created..? YES

Oh my god. I cannot fault this product one tiny bit. The smell is PHENOMENAL. The texture? INCREDIBLE. A little goes such a long way, and it doesn’t leave my hair feeling crispy or dry. It somehow makes my blonde hair look blonder and less yellow. Holds all day, the volume on this is amazing, I’ve never had a product that gives me volume and doesn’t STOP giving me that volume until I go to bed that night. Creates unbelievable definition. Pair with Wave curl cream it is a full blown game changer. Cannot thank Jen enough for creating yet again, an incredible product

Bought this on a whim after seeing it on Instagram. I've been wrestling my fringe for so long and this fixed it in seconds! I have very fine wavy hair so it gets so weighed down with products, and I hate when it feels sticky or I can't run my fingers through it so that's most styling creams or powders out the window. A tiny dot of this and my hair looks amazing, smells amazing and is behaving and I can't even tell there's stuff in it.
