The latest launch from [LolaVie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-no-gimmicks-campaign) by Jennifer Anniston is a cleanly formulated Sculpting Paste that recalls a hair product used on set to create Rachel Green's signature look on the set of Friends. “We used a makeshift paste on set, and it would be the last thing we put in the hair,” Aniston told [Harper's Bazaar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-june), “We called it ‘dirtying the hair up’, so it’s not so soft and bouncy, and gives it some texture.”

This [sculpting, styling paste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pom-drops) is lightweight and provides a medium hold for all hair types. The 99% naturally derived formula is vegan, cruelty-free and rich in nourishing ingredients like chia seeds, pomegranate, naturally derived saps and a vegan keratin complex. Useful for texturizing hair, taming frizz and smoothing ends, this paste is especially notable because it's a waterless formulation fortified with bamboo essence.
