Davines Pasta & Love Styling Paste
A Davines Pasta & Love medium-hold styling paste for short to medium hair that delivers a textured, structured effect with natural shine and flexible movement — the Italian-inspired grooming product for a controlled look that never looks stiff or overdone.
The Moda Team Review: Medium Hold That Lets Hair Move
The Styling Paste is for the client who wants their hair to look intentional without looking done. Medium hold, natural satin finish, the kind of result that reads as a good haircut rather than a product application. It adds volume and structure where needed — particularly useful for short to medium cuts that benefit from definition around the perimeter and through the top — while maintaining a natural shine and movement that keeps the hair touchable through the day.
The formula is remoldable throughout the day without adding more product, which is the practical detail that makes it genuinely versatile for most styling needs. It works for textured looks, neat side-parts, lived-in finishes and everything in between. Inspired by the Pasta & Love philosophy of quality of life and Italian attention to detail — packaged in carbon-neutral recycled glass.

Moda Pro Tip
Apply 1–2g (a pea-sized amount for short hair, slightly more for medium) — work between palms until the paste warms and becomes fluid, then distribute through dry hair using fingers rather than a brush. Fingertips allow more precise control over where the product lands and avoid the flattened look that a comb or brush can create through a paste. For more volume, apply to slightly damp hair and rough-dry with fingers. For more control, apply to completely dry hair.
How To Use
- Work a small amount (1–2g) between palms until warm and fluid.
- Apply to dry or slightly damp hair using fingertips.
- Style and shape as desired — the paste can be remolded throughout the day.
- For more texture, add more product in layers rather than all at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hold level of the Davines Pasta & Love Styling Paste?
Yes — medium hold. It gives structure and definition without stiffness, and can be remolded through the day without adding more product. Ideal for looks that need shape but also need to feel natural and touchable.
What is the difference between Davines Pasta & Love Styling Paste and the Mat Clay?
Yes — the Styling Paste has medium hold and a natural satin finish that maintains shine and movement. The Mat Clay has strong hold and a matte finish for more structured, sculpted looks with no shine. Choose the Paste for flexible, natural-looking results; choose the Clay for defined, long-lasting structure.
Can the Davines Pasta & Love Styling Paste be used on medium-length hair?
Yes — it works well on short to medium hair. On longer hair it can be used through the lengths for a textured, undone finish, but it is most effective for structure and definition on shorter cuts where the hold can make a meaningful difference to the shape.
Is the Davines Pasta & Love Styling Paste applied to wet or dry hair?
Yes — it works on both. Applied to dry hair, it gives more precise control and a cleaner finish. Applied to slightly damp hair, it adds more volume and a slightly more textured result. Start with dry hair until you know how much product your hair needs.
Can I use Davines Pasta & Love Styling Paste if I also colour my hair?
Yes — the formula is colour-safe. It does not affect colour-treated hair and is suitable for use alongside any Davines Essential Haircare wash routine.
