Layrite Cement Clay 120g | High Hold | Water Soluble | Matte finish

Product Information

Most have medium to strong hold, though some hold like gel– but without the shine. Clay for hair offers a matte finish (with the odd exception here and there). And, most work into your hair much the way as a wax. As with many men’s styling products, hair clays offer a range of holds. Some provide a high hold similar to strong pomades and approaching gels.

Smell. Most hair clays have a natural, earthy aroma. You wouldn’t really expect anything less from something called clay, would you? For a start, it will definitely make your hair look, well, fatter. You’ll be able to work with it in ways you didn’t expect, as you can achieve some piecing, without exposing your scalp in that horrifying way you may be experiencing with other products. Greasiness. The product itself isn’t greasy at all. But, the clay does draw out the natural oils (as well as impurities). If your hair is naturally on the oily side, we suggest looking for a product that doesn’t include bentonite, kaolin, or another clay. Try one that isn’t a true clay, though it behaves like one. Don’t opt for this productif you’re after a strong, all day hold. It’s not that type of clay. But if you want a light to medium hold that gets you through the day, this is brilliant.Duration. Hair clay holds for anywhere between 16 and 24 hours, though typically on the shorter end. But, because it’s non-damaging, you can apply a little more if you find you need it. But, it’s more common to find hair clays that have a medium hold – it’s enough to get your hair into place, but guys in windy cities won’t find it holds up throughout the day. Considering this is especially for guys with fine and thinning hair, you shouldn’t expect it to be super strong. That said, it’s definitely more than a medium, and you still get plenty of flexibility with it. If you are working with truly fine hair, then expect a strong hold, but not a weighted one.

It also offers a medium to strong hold that should get you through the day without any hassles. Afterwards, you can wash it out super easily. Indeed, you may be able to get away without using a shampoo. (But, unless you’re a strict no-poo guy, we recommend using shampoo at least once a week to ensure there’s no residue left behind.) Love the hold and natural appearance of a hair clay, but can’t stand the difficult to work with texture? You totally just found your game-changer product. Seriously. This doesn’t feel like a clay, but it sure works like a clay. It’s a little difficult to describe the texture until you try it, and we certainly advise that you do. With a satisfaction guarantee and good customer service, there’s little reason not to. Been looking at the Layrite line and trying to decide between the matte cream or the clay. My hair is 3-4 in long and styled in a side part quiff. My hair is fine, dense and lays straight down before messing with it. I'm growing my hair out from a summer buzz cut. I don't want my hair to be hard after the product dries. I like the natural gel and look, but a little worried the matte cream won't hold.

And, one of the nice things about hair clay is that it doesn’t damage your hair. As long as you’ve chosen a product with bentonite or kaolin clay, the natural ingredients will provide your hair with some vitamins and minerals. And, because it doesn’t strip the natural oils, you can leave it in for a few days. If you’re anti-shampoo, you can get by with a conditioner only – though the number of days you can go between washes reduces the damage shampoos do. What counts in a hair clay? When should you turn away? Key Ingredients: Unique combination derived from minerals and plants (Ozokerite, tribehenin, lanolin and cera alba) Chosen for their ability to deliver flexible hold.

Indeed, we think you’ll appreciate how effortlessit is to get hair clay off your hands and out of your hair. Short hair. Go to town with hair clay. Okay – don’t add too much; that never looks good, even with a matt finish product. But, short to medium hairstyles can usually make the most of hair clay’s natural finish with the good lift it provides. If you’re concerned about flyaways, you can use some hairspray or just smooth a small amount of extra clay over the problem areas.Overall, this clay is simply amazing, but it’s maybe not a bad idea to get the negatives out of the way first.

It doesn’t do bad with low pompadours (though you may not find the level of hold or shine you want – at least not one that lasts throughout the day). Waxes are better for serious pompadours if that’s what you want. Kevin.Murphy ROUGH.RIDER Strong Hold. Matte Clay Kevin.Murphy ROUGH.RIDER is a well-loved hair clay.
