Texture Paste
The Man by Pump Texture Paste is a vegan-friendly, clay-based hair wax designed to bring out the best in your hair. With a medium-strength hold and maximum definition, it’s the perfect solution for the modern man in search of a smooth matte finish and lasting control of their hair. With our Texture Paste, you can go from everyday man to sophisticated gentleman in seconds, moulding and styling as you please.
Why choose the Man by Pump Texture Paste?
Our Texture Paste is made in Australia with a wide range of carefully chosen vegan and cruelty-free ingredients which means it’s plant-based, problem-solving hair wax that actually works. It’s also formulated without sulphates, parabens, silicones, and other harsh chemicals that can strip natural oils and moisture from your hair, leaving it dry, frizzy, and lacking texture. This makes our product especially popular among men with naturally thick and curly hair who want to make ethical and eco-friendly consumption decisions.
How do I use the Texture Paste?
When creating our Texture Paste, we set out to design an easy-to-use, no-fuss sculpting experience and that’s exactly where we’ve ended up. Simply rub the Texture Paste evenly between your palms before working it into dry hair. For maximum definition and the strongest possible hold, apply the Texture Paste evenly throughout and sculpt your however you wish.
How much product should I use for the best results?
Good news! The highly concentrated sculpting benefits of the Man by Pump Texture Paste mean you generally only need a small, one-finger scoop to control your hair throughout the day. Of course, this will vary slightly depending upon the length of your hair and exactly how volumised you would like it to be.
Jam-packed with volumising ingredients
Our Texture Paste is jam-packed with loads of friendly ingredients to give your hair maximum definition and that sleek matte finish. Let’s explore some of the beneficial ingredients included in our Texture Paste and how they can help you to mould and hold your hair throughout the day, regardless of what life throws at you.
Kaolin Clay
Kaolin Clay is a naturally occurring mineral ingredient designed to gently calm your scalp and balance your hair’s oil production. Its lightweight, powdery feel provides smooth texturising effects and lets you sculpt your hair just the way you like it.
MCT Oil
Infused with MCT Oil, the Man by Pump Texture Paste strengthens and conditions your hair, preventing dryness and loose ends. By nourishing your hair roots and preventing weather or other damage, MCT Oil adds volume and definition to your hair. The biggest bonus here is that the more you use the paste, the easier it becomes to mould your hair in the future!
Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Essential fatty acids are key to preserving the quality and volume of your hair and Hydrogenated Castor Oil prevents hair damage by rebalancing the total amount of those fatty acids you hold. This means that with Hydrogenated Castor Oil, the Man by Pump Texture Paste will not only let you sculpt and mould your locks with ease but also restore your underlying hair health, a rare win-win scenario. When it’s all said and done Hydrogenated Castor Oil enhances your hair texture, provides a smooth matte finish and ensures a firm hold throughout the day.
Ozokerite Wax
With a super high melting point, we included Ozokerite Wax in the Man by Pump Texture Paste as the key ingredient that delivers exceptional hold and hair control. It also provides a smooth matte finish, enhances overall texture, is easy on the scalp and ensures long-lasting sculpting and definition. So, with our Texture Paste as your reliable day-to-day hair wax, you can say goodbye to your loose hair woes.
Carnauba Wax
Designed to provide extra support to the Ozokerite Wax, Carnauba Wax, is a key ingredient in the Texture Paste and is renowned for its hypoallergenic properties. Basically, this means it’s an extra-safe compound that is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction in humans or their pets. It’s also vegan-friendly and offers superior sculpting and moulding properties which help our Texture Paste provide excellent hold, control, and definition for versatile, eco-friendly styles that last all day, every day.
Ethylhexylglycerin
As complicated as it sounds Ethylhexylglycerin’s role in your hair is really quite simple. Its cleansing and moisturising properties soften and smooth your hair follicles and add extra hydration benefits to our Texture Paste. This means that with you Ethylhexylglycerin by your side you can leave the house with confidence and a volumising and silky-smooth texture.

Are there any ingredients in the Texture Paste I should avoid in case of eye contact?
While all of the Texture Paste ingredients are vegan and cruelty-free, contact with your eyes should still be avoided to minimise the chance of irritation. It’s best to keep the paste away from your eyes but if irritation does occur then stop using the product immediately and seek medical help if symptoms persist.
