Review: Morris Motley Treatment Styling Balm

Morris Motley

Morris Motley is a premium hair studio and men's hair care brand based in Melbourne, Australia.

Its founder, Rob Mason, is driven by passion for his work as a barber and to bring the perfect hair product to market. Therefore, with more than 10 years of experience, Rob is well known in the industry.

Mason's goal was to reinvent hair products for men. According to him, premium hair products for men were an overlooked market, where it is generally thought that men do not care much. Therefore, most products use the cheapest and most-basic ingredients.

The shampoo removes all natural oils. The styling products cause irritation. That had to change.

Together with cosmetic chemist Richard Parker, Rob Mason launched the Morris Motley Treatment Styling Balm. The balm gives a strong hold, without being heavy, with a matte finish. Because the product is water-based, it is easy to wash out with water.

The Treatment Styling Balm

The styling balm is very popular, and for good reason. The balm is a lightweight cream that is easy to apply. But that wasn't always the case. When Mason began producing the Treatment Styling Balm, so many ingredients were used in the formula that it became too thick to mix. It seemed impossible to produce.

The styling balm you now know, or are about to learn about, is a gentle cream. It is full of healthy, natural and ingredients, such as keratin, amino acids and fruit oil.

But first, the look. The Treatment Styling Balm comes in a minimalist, white box with black lettering. On the box is the name, ingredients, description and some further information.

The jar the balm comes in is also minimalist, but black with a white print. The name, contents and instructions are on here.

It gives great hold that stays all day with ease (depending on the amount of product you use), without the use of other products to firm it up. In addition, the balm doesn't get heavy either, making it feel natural. It gives a natural look, due to the matte finish.

Of course, with a unique product comes a unique, recognizable scent, and the Treatment Styling Balm certainly has that. It has a fresh, slightly sweet lemon scent.

Use a small amount of the Treatment Styling Balm to plump up your hair with a natural hold. Use more to get a very strong hold without making it hard. No matter how much you use, the balm remains easy to wash out.

Products for thick hair

If you have somewhat thicker hair, it's best to choose products that don't weigh your hair down too much.

Products with a matte finish and high hold that are nice and light on the hair.
