Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kevin Murphy Free.Hold is a flexible, medium-hold styling paste for natural, lived-in styles. Part of the Kevin Murphy style range. It gives pliable, reworkable hold with a natural shine — no stiffness, flaking or build-up — finished with antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids that leave the hair feeling conditioned.

Best for: all hair types, especially shorter styles wanting body, texture and flexible hold; reworkable, natural-looking styling through the day; adding the appearance of thickness with a healthy shine.
Less suited to: a firm, high-hold finish (use Super.Goo or Night.Rider); a weightless volume base for fine hair (use Body.Builder); a dry, matte texture spray (use Doo.Over).

Key actives:
- Lanolin Wax (Lanolin Cera) — lubricates, smooths and softens the hair
- Carnauba Wax (Copernicia Cerifera Cera) — creates the appearance of thickness and a glossy finish
- Yerba Mate (Ilex Paraguariensis Leaf Extract) — rich in antioxidants, amino acids and vitamins; helps thicken and add shine
- Bergamot & Patchouli (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil, Pogostemon Cablin Oil) — refreshing scent

Benefits:
- Flexible, reworkable medium hold
- Natural shine with no stiffness or flaking
- Helps create the appearance of thicker hair
- Conditions with antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids
- Washes out easily; suits all hair types

How to use: Warm a small amount between your palms until melted, then work through damp or dry hair — roots to ends for texture, or focus on the ends for definition. Style with fingers or a comb.

Format: 100g styling paste.
