No. One of the defining features of The Shag Beach Paste is its dry, matte finish that leaves no greasy or sticky residue . Multiple reviewers praise it for creating texture "without looking greasy or unwashed" .
Note on Texture: Some users note that the paste has a grainy texture due to natural ingredients like volcanic ash and diatomaceous earth . This is normal and contributes to its texturizing effect.

We recommend starting with a small amount and working it thoroughly through the hair to minimize this effect.
