Baxter OF CALIFORNIABaxter of California Styling Paste, 4 fl. oz.

I got this because the usual product was out of stock AND I did not have any idea what "paste" was. I am still not sure about the difference between paste and cream...perhaps the consistency....but it is the same high quality hair dressing that I am familiar with. It is a little more controlling than the cream but if you put some water on your hand first, it dilutes. And so on. Not a big deal. The entire Baxter line is pretty good.

I used to buy this product at Alta and have been looking for awhile to purchase it online.I received it this week and the container is half the size it used to be in retail stores. The smell of the product has also changed- it is awful. It smells like a burned vanilla candle. The label looks very cheap-almost like it is some generic product with a cheap label slapped on the tube. I had to wash it out of my hair after an hour and I threw it away.If you think this is the same product you used to get in retail, it is not. Don't buy it.

The southwesterny cactus scent is incredibly distinctive. It’s not a “bad” smell, by any means. Reminded me of what a spa or fancy resort in Sonoma might smell like. But for some reason it really bothered me and the product didn’t blow me away, so I moved on.

Works great on short and medium length hair. Provides good hold and control, especially when applied into damp hair and blow dried.The best part is that unlike other products with similar hold, it goes in very easy and it doesn’t tug or pull hairs.

My husband and I both use this product and both very satisfied. Great hold and AMAZING scent
