Clay
Hair clay is ideal for creating definition and texture on short to medium-length hairstyles that require a more structured, textured, or urban look. It provides a strong hold, with a completely matte finish.
What is hair clay?
Hair clay is a styling product for your hair. With a clay, you can style your hair and add extra definition and texture. A hair clay for men is packed with healthy and high-quality plant-based ingredients and extracts. These ensure that your hair and scalp look and feel healthier. The clay can be used on dry hair but also slightly damp hair.
The difference between a pomade, clay, paste, wax and gel is significant. Therefore, you should not compare them with each other. They are all hair styling products, but they all have different characteristics. Therefore, you should not expect the same result from a wax and a clay.
Why buy hair clay?
For men with thinner hair, clay is an ideal product because hair clay can create volume. It gives the hair more 'body' and a strong hold. When choosing a clay for your hair, you need to be a bit careful and test what works best for you. If a product is too stiff, you might need to go a category lower (from high to medium, for example). Hair clay is definitely one of the best hair styling products you can have in your bathroom, because hairstyles with a high hold and matte finish are more popular than ever and last long.
How to use clay?
Hair clay can be a bit more challenging to apply because it is quite a stiff product. Rub a clay well between the palms of your hands first, then it will be much easier to distribute through the hair. Do not use too much clay as this can make the hair too heavy, causing it to collapse.
Benefits of hair clay
We often hear the question "is clay bad for your hair?" Fortunately, a hair clay is actually good for your hair due to the good ingredients. Of course, remember that you should wash a hair clay out of your hair well from time to time, just like any other hair product. A hair clay is not only good for your hair, but also brings many other benefits.
- Hair clay tends to remove dirt and impurities from the hair without drying out the hair with its natural oils.
- Hair clay naturally has healing and stimulating properties for the hair shaft and scalp (making it good for for men with sensitive skin and scalp) and promotes hair growth.
- A clay nourishes the hair and the scalp, because it is rich in minerals and nutrients.
- It conditions and hydrates the hair to control and maintain frizz, especially for men with curly or longer hair.
