Osmo Fiber Paste Strong Hold & Texture for All Hair Types 100ml/3.38 oz
A fibre paste is a different animal to a gel. It is stringy rather than smooth, and when you rub it between your palms it draws out into threads. That texture is the whole point, because it separates hair into pieces instead of gluing it into a sheet.
The finish on Osmo's Fiber Paste is matte, close to no shine at all, which suits shorter cuts and anything meant to look like it has not been styled. Hold is strong but stays workable, so you can push a section back into place at three in the afternoon without re-wetting your hair.
Warm a small amount between dry palms until it goes clear, then work it through the mid-lengths and ends. The 100ml tub goes slowly, since the amount you need is about the size of a pea. It washes out with normal shampoo and does not leave the waxy residue heavier pastes build up.

Application tips
Dry hair only. Take a small amount, no more than a fingertip to start, and rub it between your palms until it warms and thins out. Paste applied cold lands in clumps.
Work it through from the back, roughing the hair up with your fingers rather than smoothing it down. Add a second small amount for more separation. It restyles later in the day with damp hands.
Results
Texture and separation without shine. Hair holds a shape you can still push around, so a style survives a day at work and a walk home in the wind.
The finish is matte and natural rather than wet-looking. It leaves no crust and no sticky residue, and one ordinary shampoo takes it out. Short and mid-length hair gets the most from it.
