Customers say

Customers say this shaping cream gives strong, lasting hold with a natural, non-greasy finish, works on different hair types and washes out easily. Most like the subtle or pleasant scent, though one customer finds the smell too strong and says it offers little hold and is overpriced.

Disappointed...

5 Jun 2013
After searching for the perfect styling aid for my hair I decided to give this a shot since it had received such high accolades. It gives pretty much no hold in my hair. What hold it does provide is gone within the hour. The smell is way too strong too. Really pricy too.
Still searching...

Thick Hair

6 Mar 2013
After searching around and trying to find a product that actually works well with my difficult thick hair, I decided on Paul Mitchell Tree Shaping Cream.

On first use it was very effective and I was actually able to get a noticeable style without it gunking up my hair.
Easily washes off.

Seemed to work best with a short-medium length cut.

Non greasy

20 Jul 2012
My husband uses the shaping cream every morning and really likes it as it isnt greasy and isnt glossy so he can style his hair without over doing the "product" look.

Its a little sticky when touching his hair but no unbearable.
