This product delivers a true matte finish without the greasy residue. The hold is strong and lasts all day. The scent is another highlight- fresh and not overpowering. It does take a little time to spread and work the product into your hands before applying.

Things which are great: 1. The hold. Nothing compares in terms of hold, especially when you consider point 2. 2. How little you need. This is a product where for once you genuinely can use "a pea sized amount" (as other manufacturers claim) and it will actually hold well. In my experience in cheaper products you'd easily need 3-4 times the amount to get the same hold, which would also leave you hair feeling clumpy. This is at bare minimum strong wind resistant - it really is a strong hold yet it doesn't feel like your hair is bogged down in product. That brings us on to point 3. 3. It isn't sticky/clumpy/leaves any residue. If you run your hand through your hair it doesn't particularly feel full of product, but you can re-style it. It lasts all day, easily 16+ hours. It washes out easily and if your hair gets wet (e.g. rain, swimming, etc) it doesn't do that annoying thing where you feel like product is dripping down your face. Are there any negatives? Not really. The only one that might not suit everyone is it has no smell whatsoever. Personally I prefer products with a nice fragrance. This doesn't smell of anything at all, although that's better than it smelling unpleasant. Given how good it is, this in itself isn't a bad enough point to rate it down for me. Yes it's more expensive than alternatives. But it's also better than every other product I've tried and I mean that genuinely. If you factor in how little of it you need per day it doesn't even work out that expensive in comparison to others. How long does it last? On my hair shown in the photo - which is grade 3 back/sides and 2ish inches on top - one pot would do me about 3 months. Any other benefits? The small pot makes it ideal to take on holiday or when travelling. The packaging is nice. Overall this is hands down the best hair clay. I've never found anything which comes close to it so keep rebuying it for the last year and a half.
