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.
