We are back with blogs! It took a while, so we have selected a unique product to talk about: the Firsthand Supply Texturizing Hair Clay ! We hope to inform you well through these blogs about the latest Brands, hair products, Shaving Products, creams, and much more!
Firsthand Supply
Firsthand Supply was founded in 2016 after the creators encountered a problem. They were looking for a natural Pomade with a good Hold. That wasn't so easy. They found out that many natural Pomades did not have the Hold they were looking for, and the Pomades with a good Hold were full of ingredients they couldn't even pronounce. They wanted nothing to do with that.
Because their search did not yield the desired results, they started developing a Pomade themselves. It all began in a small apartment in Beverly, Massachusetts.
The guys from Firsthand Supply spent a year creating the perfect Pomade. The result was a success. They had achieved their goal. The Pomade had the desired Hold, was made only from natural ingredients, and without the help of machines. Then they wondered, 'what else can we do?' This is how Firsthand Supply became bigger than they expected. Nowadays, they sell Hair Clay, fragrances, Beard Oils, soap, lip balms, and even candles, all made from only natural ingredients!
Additionally, we must also talk about the unique appearance of the products. All products, from the Pomade to the lip balm, have a hipster look and are made from recycled plastic.
Firsthand Supply Styling Hair Clay
In this blog, we look at the Styling Hair Clay water-based product from Firsthand Supply. The Hair Clay is, like the Pomade, a valued product in the world of hair products and is suitable for all hair types.
The Hair Clay is a lightweight product full of healthy, nourishing ingredients. The main difference between the Pomade and the Hair Clay is that the Hair Clay provides a natural look and doesn't give a greasy feel. The Hair Clay is a bit harder to scoop out of the jar than the Pomade, but it still gives you the feeling that you have nothing in your Hair, yet provides firmness. Ideal for a relaxed hairstyle!
It has a slightly sweet scent and is a combination of Citrus, Amber, and vanilla.
The jar of the Hair Clay is made from recycled plastic and has a warm, dark red Colour. The label is broken White, minimalist, and printed with black letters. The lid, made of tin, is Black and has a broken white sticker on top. It features the logo of Firsthand Supply.
Our experience
The jar has a classic look without too much text. It is minimalist, which is an advantage. Less is more. The Firsthand logo is also very nice and fits well with the product.
The first impression when you open the jar is the wonderful scent, which is, of course, also important. The Hair Clay Pomade smells different from the average Hair Clay. The sweet and fruity scent is not too strong, but it does last all day.
The Styling Hair Clay is still fairly hard in the jar, but once removed, it is easy to distribute between the Hands and apply. The Hair Clay is easy to apply and quickly reaches its maximum Hold. The Hair Clay then becomes stiff and harder to style, so make sure to set it right in one go. The Hair Clay gives your hair a nice texture and dries to a matte/natural finish. Quahold, the Hair Clay feels reasonably firm but does not become mega Hold once it is in the Hair (Medium - High Hold).
There are no pieces of Hair Clay visible in the Hair. Because it is water-based, it is easy to restyle with a few slightly damp Hands. It can even be used as a pre-styler. For the best result and the highest Hold, you obviously use a Hair Dryer and apply it to dry Hair.
Because the Hair Clay is water-based, you can also easily wash it out of the Hair.
The downside is that the Hair Clay can become dry, as it is made from only natural ingredients. In most Hair Clays, drying out is prevented by certain unnatural agents. However, if you notice that the Hair Clay becomes too dry, you can easily counteract this by adding a few drops of water and leaving it overnight.
Are you interested in a similar hair product but with more Shine? Then the Firsthand Supply Pomade water-based might be something for you.
