Why we rate it

A high-hold moulding paste with an ultra-matte finish, for texture that looks dry and natural rather than styled. Clays and body-builders add volume and grit, which makes it a strong choice for finer hair that needs help looking fuller. Warm a small amount between your palms, work it through damp or dry hair from the roots, and shape with your fingers; you can restyle it during the day. It was formerly sold as MVRCK Dry Paste and is the same formula in MITCH packaging.

  • High-hold moulding paste with an ultra-matte finish
  • Clays and body-builders add volume and texture
  • Great for finer hair
  • Restyle it through the day
  • Colour-safe, with an agave citrus scent

Stylist’s tip

Warm a small amount between your palms until it’s almost invisible before working it through. It spreads more evenly that way, and you can always add a little more where you need it.

From the stylists at The Color, Bridlington Paul Mitchell Signature Salon since 2006

Frequently asked questions

What is MITCH Dry Paste and what finish does it give?

It's a styling paste that blends clays and safflower oil for an ultra-matte, gritty texture with no shine. Use it for sharp definition or a loose, undone look.

How strong is the hold on Mitch Dry Paste?

High hold, but it stays workable rather than setting solid, so you can reshape your style through the day. It also builds volume, which suits finer hair.

Do you put Mitch Dry Paste in damp or dry hair?

Either. Rub a small amount between your palms, work it through damp or dry hair from the roots, then shape with your fingers.
