Top 5 Hair Clays for Men

 

If you like slick-back styles with a completely matte finish, Hair Clay should be top of your shopping list. Formulated to offer structure and hold whilst leaving the hair shine-free, Hair Clay secures your hair style in situ with the added benefit of maintaining flexibility. When you use a Clay to style your hair, you have the ability to manipulate your style throughout the day, tweaking and perfecting as you go.

 

 

• Suitable for both long and short hair.

• Can be applied to both wet and dry hair.

• Perfect for slick-backs, pompadours and rugged, tussled styles.

 

 

• Start by washing your hair and towel-drying it. If you want a completely shine-free finish, dry your hair with a hair dryer on a medium heat setting. As you dry your hair, start to direct it into your desired style, if you want a semi-matte finish, towel-drying will suffice.

• Warm a pea-sized amount of product between your fingertips. TOP TIP AND ESSENTIAL TO NOTE: DO NOT WARM IT BETWEEN YOUR PALMS. Warming the product between your fingertips will make it easier to style, if you warm it between your palms you’ll find it more difficult to style and you’ll flatten your look.

• Stroke the Clay through your hair and start to work your style. Direct the hair in sections and work piece by piece to position your look.

• Add more Clay as desired or until you’ve achieved your preferred look.
