OK, guys, here's a challenge!
I am translating again for the hair products client. This is a line describing what you can do with a sculpting "paste".
Any ideas *especially* on "spunk it*???? ;-)
I would love suggestions on all these delightful words, but I especially don't know what "spunking" your hair is!!
Thanks so much in advance!
