MITCH Construction Paste for Men — Medium Hold, Low Shine, 2.5 fl. oz. — Matte, Flexible Styling for Short to Medium Hair

MITCH Construction Paste is a flexible, mesh-like styling paste that delivers medium hold and low shine for short to medium hair without flaking or stiffness.

This pliable paste from MITCH by Paul Mitchell shapes, separates and defines hair while keeping strands soft and manageable. Formulated for all hair types and textures, it creates undone, textured looks with an invigorating pine and lavender scent. The finish is low-shine and crunch-free, ideal for everyday styles that need movement and control without residue. Packaging is moving toward post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials as part of the brand’s sustainability effort.

How does this paste hold up during a busy day?

The product provides a medium, elastic hold that keeps styles intact while allowing restyling. It secures shape without turning rigid, so hair retains natural movement and can be reshaped with your fingers when needed.

• Medium-strength polymers lock style without stiffness
• Elastic finish allows touch-ups through the day
• No flaking or white residue on comb-throughs

Will it work with my hair type and length?

Construction Paste is designed for all hair types and performs best on short to medium lengths. Its texture-forming properties adapt to fine, straight, wavy, and thicker hair, creating separation and definition across textures.

• Fine hair: adds texture and separation without weighing down
• Wavy or curly hair: defines strands and reduces frizz
• Thick hair: provides control and workable hold for layered looks

How do I apply the paste for the best results?

Warm a small amount between palms, then work through dry or slightly damp hair to build texture and shape. Start with less product and add more to increase hold; this paste layers predictably so you can refine style without overloading.

• Use pea-sized amount for light definition; add as needed
• Scrunch or push hair into place for an undone, matte look
• Apply to roots for lift or to ends for separation and piecey texture

What should I know about scent and packaging?

The paste is scented with pine and fresh lavender for a clean, masculine aroma that’s noticeable but not overpowering. As part of a sustainability initiative, MITCH is updating packaging to include post-consumer recycled plastics in jars, bottles and tubes where possible.

• Pleasant pine and lavender fragrance, salon-inspired
• Packaging transitioning to PCR materials for reduced environmental impact
• Product jars may vary as the brand updates designs and materials

Who this product is for: Men seeking a versatile styling paste for short to medium hair who want medium, pliable hold with a low-shine finish. It’s well suited for anyone wanting textured, natural-looking styles without crunchiness or flakes, including everyday commuters, barbers styling client looks, and people who prefer reworkable products with a subtle scent.
