I have extremely fine, oily hair and it goes limp if you just look at it - no really, it's that bad. So I have spent bookoo bucks trying new products over the years that can give my hair life...give it lift...and last! My husband swears that I've tried Jonathan's Dirt Texturizing Paste before and didn't like it - how can HE remember that but I can't???? He doesn't, he's just seen so many hair products come and go, they're all the same to him. I have tried other pastes and waxes and have found they are HORRIBLE for my hair type. I think Jonathon's Dirt would be great for short hair; it adds a nice amount of texture and if you use a very little amount it won't leave your hair looking greasy. I thought for sure this was going to stink, because I have short/medium length hair and this oil slick doesn't take kindly to extra goop. But to my surprise, Jonathon Dirt Texturizing Paste passed the picky test. My hair is so fly away after washing it, I really have to apply great products to make me not look like a little hippie boy from the 70's...my hair is that flat, fly away and lame. But, I started using some of Jonathon's products, after two of my favorites became discontinued (another brand) and have been surprisingly happy with the results. The key to using this particular product is to use less...much less then your brain thinks it should. I use just a small amouth of dirt "less than a pencil eraser size (like 1/2 that size)" and then I rub it between my finger tips and apply sparingly all over my head, concentrating at the roots. I do this AFTER I dried my hair and it seems to work best before I flat iron it. If you use TOO MUCH you hair will look greasy, again less is more! Then I style my hair as usual and I get great volume and staying power surprisingly. I of course hair spray the crap out of my hair afterwords, but Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste is a great product even for whimpy hair like mine.

I bought this product when it initially came out.  To be honest I did find it a bit expensive, but I liked the fact that it was created by a well known hair stylist, it is supposed to be almost all natural ingredients, and that thye did not do testing on animals, plus I am willing to try anything on my unruly wavy hair,  It comes in the form of a paste.  Al ittle goes a long way, you just take a little bit of the product and rubs your hands together emulsifying the paste a bit, and then work it  through your hair, for those with straight hair, its easy to get that piecy look, while for gals with wavy/curly hair like mine you get curl definition while eliminating frizz.  For me this product has been great because when I have just washed my hair its a bit unmanageble and frizzy.  I usually run the curling iron through my hair, then rub the product in my hair to define curls, it works great.  The smell is good too, very light.

Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste has a wonderful smell. love the texture. I love that it is not tested on animals. Most importantly, I love what it adds to my hair.  I use it to get those nice chunky ends, and also to smooth the frizzies along my part. It controls flyaway, gives definition, and gives shine. Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste is a great product!  When I use this with dry hair, it gives me effortless perfection. It is like I just walked out of the salon. Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste smells great, is light but controlled, and just awesome. You need a very small amount otherwise it will look greasy.  Once I learned how to use this product properly, it really worked well.  Rub it in your hands until it totally emulsifies. If I use too much and don't emulsify, I get a gloppy mess, but if I use just a little and emulsify, it is perfect. I take a tiny bit of product, warm it in my hands so it practically disappears, and gently run my hands through my hair. It somehow puts my hair into place and it just looks right.  Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste was not as sticky as your typical paste and gave me that beachy tousled look.

jonathans dirt definitely adds texture and volume if you use a small amount, which is good so to not use too much which the product is expensive. add too much and it will weigh hair down. my hair is short and very funky lots of layers with and it loves the peicey look
