Messing creme really provides the texture that Ive been trying to achieve for so long. It gives a matte (or subtle shine) finish, a lot of texture to the hair, and this grippy feeling.
Im actually surprised by this cream, because i thought it wouldnt provide that much texture. My hair looks messy (kinda woken up messy) but its held in place." - Jonathon

KMS Hair Play Messing Cream is a pliable styling cream that builds modern, undone texture in seconds.
This lightweight cream works by adding grip and gentle volume so hair looks fuller, perfectly tousled, and never stiff. You simply work it through dry hair and mould with your fingers; the flexible hold lets you reshape throughout the day.
The texture feels creamy going on, then settles into a soft, matte finish without stickiness. Hair feels touchable and airy, with a subtle salon-fresh scent that doesn’t overpower.
Ideal for fine to medium hair that needs texture, body, or a lived-in finish. Use it for quick morning styling, refreshing flat hair, or adding definition to layers and waves.
How To Use KMS Hair Play Messing Cream
- Apply a small amount to clean, dry hair.
- Rub between palms to activate and soften the cream.
- Work through mid-lengths and ends, then scrunch or twist.
- Add more as needed for extra texture and fullness.
- Restyle with fingers anytime; no need to reapply.
