Pete & Pedro SOFT Hair Putty – Strong Hold, Low Shine, Soft Texture, & Effortless Styling Power
Named one of the absolute best hair products for men – Putty" — GQ
Pete & Pedro SOFT Hair Putty is hands down one of the best hair styling products for men on the planet. It brings all the Bueno Hair greatness of our original, award-winning Putty—but in a softer, creamier texture that makes styling faster and easier than ever.
What’s the main difference? Soft Putty has the same strong, flexible hold (just a tiny touch lighter), the same matte-meets-moisturized finish, and all the same benefits of the original Putty—but with a way softer, smoother consistency. Guys who’ve tried it? Obsessed.
This versatile styling aid delivers a firm, pliable hold without stiffness, grease, or flakes. It’s loaded with lanolin, beeswax, and performance polymers to give you natural-looking control that’s still touchable and reworkable. Ideal for short to medium hair, it styles everything from messy to polished looks with zero hassle.
Plus, it’s water-soluble—so it rinses out clean without any buildup or residue.
If you like the original Putty but want something easier to scoop, spread, and style—Soft Putty’s your move. Pair it with SALT for added volume, grit, and ultimate Bueno Hair domination.
