Styling Clay For Men, Matte Finish Molding Hair Wax Paste Quiff, Strong Hold Without The Shine

I'm a guy who tends to let his hair get a bit long and takes too long between haircuts. I have fine, dirty blonde hair that gets REALLY fluffy after washing and gets REALLY flat and oily after a day or so. If I don't have something in it to keep it in place it'll just turn into a giant puffball on top of my head. I decided to give this Hair Dough a try just to change things up and see what else is out there. It's a very thick, tacky white cream with a sweet, almost fruity (but still masculine) scent. It spreads reasonably well but if you aren't careful and get too much in one spot it'll take some time and maybe a comb to get it to spread out. I always apply it to slightly damp hair which I think helps a bit. It holds very well and will last a couple days if you don't wash your hair daily. It isn't greasy, it isn't oily, it isn't shiny, and it doesn't leave your hair crunchy or overly stiff. It works, it's reasonably priced, it smells pretty good, and I can't make any complains about it. Give it a try.

Terrific product. Not shiny at all. Great hold. Easy on colored hair

Works well! Clean look

I have been through a lot of hair products trying to find something that holds without making my hair look greasy or shiny and this clay actually delivers on that. The matte finish looks really natural like your hair just decided to cooperate on its own which is exactly the vibe I am going for. It smells good too, kind of sweet but still pretty masculine, so you are not walking around smelling weird. The hold is solid for everyday stuff but if you have really thick hair you might need a bit more product than you expect to get it to stay put.

Ive tried a lot of hair products. This is one of the best. It has great hold, and the price to volume ratio is great. You only need a little bit as well. Im thinking of just getting this hair product for now on because you get so much for a fair price, and it really works very well.

I never write reviews, but I'm so impressed with this that I had to. This is marketed for men, but hair is hair so of course it works just as great for women as well. If you're wanting a gel or something, be aware this is a paste but it's truly the best. I always make sure my hair is wet or damp before I apply it. I swipe one of my fingers over the top and have just a small amount on my finger, I wipe my finger into my palm and then rub my hands together once or twice (keep in mind this is a paste so it's going to feel like it's not spreading in your hand) and then I run my hands through my hair. Remember to start out with a small amount first and you can always add more later. Especially with this being a paste, I'm extremely impressed with how well this spreads on my hair and does an amazing job styling it. I have short hair and wanted something to help style my hair, but I absolutely hate gels and other hair products that make your hair look shiny and/or gobbed together so I figured I would give this a shot. Since your hair will be wet when you put it on, at first it may not seem like it's a matte finish, but give your hair time to dry and at that point it will indeed be a matte finish with NO gloss/shine to it whatsoever. This is truly the first product that claims to be matte and does indeed turn out to be a matte finish/look. I LOVE this stuff. I've been so impressed with how well my hair keeps it's style/shape the entire day and I've never had to reapply more product. If your hair ever does get out of place, you can just wet your fingers and run them through your hair and you can restyle again without adding any additional paste. Also, I've woken up the next day and didn't have time to shower, so I just wet my hands and ran them through my hair and was able to style my hair again without adding any additional product. This is water based and comes out super quick an easy when washing your hair. I love that my hair doesn't appear to have any product in it and doesn't feel hard like gel makes your hair feel. I highly recommend you give this a shot if you're wanting a matte finish for your hair.

I bought this product twice because I loved the way it held my hair and it smelt great. But I started to notice my hair extremely thinning and almost looked like I was balding in the mirror after a few months. I didn’t put the two together, I just assumed I’m 35 and now I’m starting the balding process lol. I stopped using it for 2-3 weeks because I could only pinpoint to when I started to use this product to when I started to notice the change in my hair. After 3 weeks of not using it, I noticed my hair back to normal and not so dried out.

This review is for the Matte Product. The smell? Its sweet. It reminds me of two things. 1. Orange Julius (if you know what that is) 2. Peach Flavored Hi-Chew Candy. In either case, the smell is sweet, but not overpowering. Hair Dough "Pomade" does NOT smell like the "Matte" product. The pomade is your typical "I just shook my grandpa's hand as his old spice after shave now lingers all over me" smell. This "Matte" is a much cleaner, crisper, sweet smell. I like it, but if you want the typical "spice" that most male products have, go with the pomades in the line. Applying it to different levels of hair dampness, WILL affect the results. Depending on your hair type, you need to experiment. Trying to apply this product to dry hair is a glutton for punishment. It does not spread well and you will pull your hair to no end. I have short #3 sides and back with about 4-5 inches of long hair up top. I apply it out of the shower to damp hair, not soaking wet. I will then wet my hand, shake off the excess and apply about a quarter sized dollop to my palm. Rub your hands together until it is warm and there is an even white haze on your hands. I then run my fingers through my hair making sure to get it everywhere and focus primarily on the long front and roots of the front. I have to rub my hands together two to three times while applying to re-spread the product evenly. It may not seem like it is coming off your hands, but be patient and keep running your hands through your hair until it is all gone. Your hair should be pretty stiff. If it is too loose and without hold, either you did not use enough product or your hair was too wet. Again, you need to experiment. I then use a brush to get the hair all in one direction. I do not recommend a comb with this stuff. I would recommend a hair brush with bristles. Even then it will be be hard to comb through as this stuff really thickens and locks up the hair. I then shape the hair to my styling. This stuff holds all day and has no shine. It is stiff, but not overly stiff like gels. If I don't touch my hair, it will stay put from 7am to 7pm. Running your hands through your hair is not possible without breaking the hold and style and looking like a porcupine. However, getting your hands wet and slightly dampening the hair, will allow you to re-style it. I hated this stuff when I first got it, but I stuck with it and tried a bunch of different combos. I now think it is one of my favorites for matte hair. When I want shiny hair, I go with their pomade although I dislike the spice smell. Bottom line, you need to experiment with it until you find that sweet spot. I have tried Hanz de Fuko, Reuzel, Fiber Creams, etc, etc. This one by far needs the most experimentation for your hair type and dampness.
