For medium to thin hair, this molding paste offers a strong, flexible hold suitable for various styles. If you need extreme, rigid hold or a high-shine finish, consider a different product. For fine hair, it adds volume without weighing down. ### Can I use Alex Costa Molding Paste daily? Yes, this molding paste is designed for daily use. It washes out easily with water, leaving no residue, and is free from sulfates and parabens. It won't weigh your hair down, making it suitable for regular styling. ### Does Forte Series Molding Paste work in Indian humid weather?
