Review (5/5): Love This Clay!
I love this water-based styling clay. It gives me surprisingly great hold even when using small amounts. It ends up looking like I don't have any product in my hair at all. Just make sure to only get a dime-size portion and thoroughly rub your hands together until it's completely transparent. This clay is also amazing for 2nd day hair when I'm not washing it. I can reshape easily and use a tiny bit of extra clay to reinforce any loosened areas.
The oil-based clays I've used can easily start to look greasy which isn't the look I want. Supposedly oil-based clays can have longer lasting hold, but with this clay my style easily lasts all day with only a small amount of hair spray around the hairline where loose hairs might fall out.
This clay has the most grip on totally dry hair without any serums that add slickness to the hair. I used to apply an anti-frizz serum before styling, but that took away the grip of the clay and typically meant I used more of it which ended up looking less natural. Now I'll use a shine spray as the very last step to get the look I want.
