Step 1: Scoop a dime-sized amount of clay out of the jar.

Step 2: Rub the product vigorously between your palms to warm it up until it becomes smooth and pliable.

Step 3: Work it evenly into dry or slightly damp hair, starting from the roots and moving to the ends.

Step 4: Style with your fingers or a comb to create your desired look.

This product contains Organic Beeswax. It is completely free of synthetic fragrances and essential oils, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive scalps.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only.

Most commercial hair clays and pastes rely heavily on petrolatum. This creates a thick, greasy buildup on your scalp that often takes two or three consecutive washes to fully remove. This formula takes a much cleaner approach. By utilizing a blend of natural earth clays and arrowroot powder, it provides exceptional, pliable grip while actively absorbing excess oil. The result is a true matte finish that washes out cleanly at the end of the day. The key to applying this correctly is friction. You must rub the clay vigorously between your hands until it softens and warms up before it touches your hair. Applying it cold will result in uneven clumping.

Fragrance-Free: Contains no synthetic fragrances or essential oils, leaving it completely neutral.

Will this leave my hair crunchy or flaky?
No. Unlike alcohol-based gels, this clay uses beeswax and shea butter to provide a flexible, touchable hold that never flakes or hardens into a crispy texture.

Does it wash out easily?
Yes. Because the formula is entirely free from petrolatum and heavy mineral oils, it washes out completely with a standard daily shampoo.

Is the jar actually compostable?
Yes. The packaging is made from a revolutionary, 100 percent plastic-free material engineered to break down entirely in 52 weeks, whether placed in a home compost bin or the regular trash.
