Description

The strongest moulding paste in the Kevin Murphy range — Beeswax moulds, sets and seals in moisture while Mandarin Orange Oil locks the cuticle for natural shine. Strong hold, rough matte texture. 90 seconds to work it in before it starts setting.

The Moda Team Review

Night Rider is built for one specific purpose: strong hold with a rough, matte finish on short or choppy styles. The Beeswax is the active that makes it work the way it does. A natural wax secreted by honey bees, Beeswax creates definition and moulds the hair while sealing in moisture to prevent breakage and help the hair appear healthier. Mandarin Orange Peel Oil locks down the cuticle to create a natural-looking shine even within the matte context.

The 90-second window is what separates Night Rider from most pastes. Kevin Murphy is explicit: work it quickly, it starts setting on contact. That means warming it in the hands first, then working through the hair in one efficient pass rather than going back and reworking sections. The style it builds lasts all night — hence the name. If the hold becomes too firm and needs adjusting, add heat to soften and re-mould.

Key Active Ingredients

  • Cera Alba (Beeswax): Natural wax that creates definition and allows moulding and setting of the hair; seals in moisture and helps prevent breakage.
  • Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil: Locks down the cuticle to create natural-looking shine.
  • Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil: Vitamins C and E; beneficial repair for the hair.

How To Use

  1. Warm between palms.
  2. Work through hair within 90 seconds — it starts setting on contact.
  3. Mould and direct the style as desired.
  4. To re-mould: add heat to soften.
COMMON QUESTIONS

Product FAQ

No — they are different products for different finish styles. Night Rider is the strongest paste with a 90-second working window; it sets firmly on contact and creates a rough matte texture. Rough Rider is a clay with a more moldable, gritty texture and slightly more working time. Night Rider is for maximum directional hold; Rough Rider is for gritty, textured styling with more flexibility.
Yes — Kevin Murphy confirms Night Rider works on a variety of hair lengths. On longer hair it creates separation, texture and a matte finish rather than the directional hold it creates on short hair. Apply to dry hair in small amounts and work section by section for the most controlled result.
Yes — add heat. Kevin Murphy’s instruction is that if you need to soften the hold at any point to re-mould, apply heat from a dryer. The Beeswax softens with heat, making the hold pliable again. This is the correct technique rather than adding more product, which creates buildup.
No — Night Rider is specifically a matte finish. Kevin Murphy describes it as delivering rough matte texture. For a natural or glossy finish with similar hold level, Free Hold with its Carnauba Wax is the appropriate alternative.
No — the Beeswax-based formula washes out cleanly with a thorough shampoo. On days where buildup is a concern, Kevin Murphy’s Maxi Wash (the detox shampoo) clears any wax residue completely. Avoid applying additional product over Night Rider to prevent buildup — use heat to re-mould instead.
