DOOP The Surfer 100 ml is a firm texture paste for short hair that combines grip and definition with a very matte finish. With a hold of 7/10, the hairstyle stays in place well, while the shine of only 1/10 ensures a natural look without noticeable gloss. Ideal for a casual beach look, a messy hairstyle, or short hair where you want to highlight individual strands and texture.
The Surfer provides fixation without the typical hard effect of a strong hair gel. The hair remains flexible enough to be restyled with your fingers throughout the day. This makes this matte styling paste suitable for both an intentionally messy look and a short hairstyle that primarily requires extra grip and control.
A good short haircut is often about more than just hold. Without sufficient grip, the hair can quickly fall flat or lose its shape. DOOP The Surfer adds texture, grip, and body , making the hair easier to style.
The paste is particularly interesting when you want visibly more structure without the hair looking shiny or wet. Due to the very low shine, the finish remains dry and matte. This makes The Surfer suitable for modern short hairstyles where the hair needs to look natural, but can still be clearly styled.
DOOP The Surfer is primarily intended for short hair . The texture paste comes into its own with hairstyles where extra grip, definition, and a matte finish are desired.
The Surfer is a good choice for:
Do you want a wet look or a distinctly glossy finish? Then The Surfer is less suitable for the desired result. With a shine of 1/10, this paste is specifically designed to avoid shine as much as possible.
Even when you are looking for a completely hard and virtually immovable fixation, a strong gel or other hard fixation product might be a better fit. The strength of The Surfer lies precisely in the combination of firm hold and restylable flexibility .
Styling tip: always start with a small amount. Especially with short hair, you often need less product than you think. By gradually building up the amount, you more easily maintain the natural, matte look that The Surfer is intended for.
Use The Surfer on dry hair when you want to emphasize a dry, matte finish and plenty of visible texture. Distribute a small amount over your hands and then work the product through the hairstyle with your fingers. Pinch or twist a few strands between your fingertips for extra definition.
You can also apply The Surfer to towel-dried hair. Distribute the paste carefully through the hair and then style it. Experiment with a small amount to determine which application works best for your hair and desired result.
The 7/10 hold gives The Surfer a firm fixation. This is sufficient to give many short hairstyles long-lasting shape and control. At the same time, the styling remains flexible: you can reshape the hair with your fingers throughout the day.
That distinguishes this texture paste from styling products that form a hard layer around the hair after drying. The Surfer is particularly interesting when you want to combine hold with a hairstyle that remains naturally flexible and can be restyled.
The 1/10 shine is one of the key features of DOOP The Surfer. The product adds barely visible shine, creating a matte finish where the hair's structure takes center stage.
This is particularly appealing when you are looking for a matte hair paste without a wet look . The hair looks styled due to the shape and texture, not because a shiny layer of styling product is visible.
A classic wax is often used to define hair and can add more shine, depending on the type of wax. Gel is generally aimed at stronger hold and can make the hair quite stiff after drying.
DOOP The Surfer is a texture paste that emphasizes a different combination: firm hold, lots of texture, very little shine, and the ability to restyle the hairstyle. If you are specifically looking for a matte styling for short hair without the harsh look of gel, The Surfer fits that desire well.

DOOP is a Dutch brand that focuses on styling products with varying levels of hold and shine. The Surfer is part of the styling products where a loose, matte look is central. The name refers to the nonchalant look that can be created with the product: lots of texture, little shine, and a hairstyle that does not look overly styled.
The Surfer is offered as a 100 ml texture paste and combines a strong hold with the ability to restyle the hairstyle. It is precisely this combination that makes the product interesting for short hairstyles where a firm yet natural-looking styling is desired.
Yes. The Surfer is especially suitable for short hairstyles where you want to create more grip, texture, definition, and a matte finish.
The Surfer has a hold of 7/10. This places it among the firmer styling products, but the hair remains flexible enough to restyle with your fingers throughout the day.
Yes. The shine is only 1/10. As a result, The Surfer gives a very matte, natural finish and is a good choice when you want to avoid visible shine.
Yes. You can use the texture paste on dry hair. This is particularly suitable when you want to create a lot of texture and a distinctly matte finish. Applying it to towel-dried hair is also possible.
Yes. An important feature of The Surfer is the flexible styling. You can reshape the hairstyle with your fingers throughout the day.
Start with a small amount and only add extra paste when necessary. The correct amount depends on the length, thickness, and quantity of hair, as well as the desired hold and texture.
No. With a shine of 1/10, The Surfer is actually intended for a matte finish. For a pronounced wet look, you are better off choosing a styling product with a higher shine.
When choosing a styling product, the strength of the hold alone is not enough. The amount of shine and the extent to which the hair remains movable and restylable after application also determine the final result.
With DOOP The Surfer, the combination of 7/10 hold + 1/10 shine is particularly interesting. You get enough strength to clearly shape a short hairstyle, while the very low shine prevents the styling from looking shiny or wet. As a result, the focus remains on the structure and shape of the hairstyle.
To get the most out of these properties, do not automatically use more product for a greater effect. With a matte paste, too much product can actually make the hair heavier. Start small, distribute the paste carefully, and only then assess whether extra product is needed. This is how you generally get the most natural result from The Surfer.
