RUDY's Clay Pomade | Strong Hold Texturizer with Matte Finish - Natural Ingredients, Paraben Free - for All Hair Types for Men & Women (4.8 oz)

I've spent about 10+ years trying different hair products. I have thick hair and my style is short fade on the sides, length with a volumized comb over on the top. I have bounced around from a number of products and like the keep it fresh by testing out new products now and again. I've used Hanz de Fuko (clay pomade, quiksand) , Baxter (clay pomade, hard water cream, cream pomade), Lamel fine grooming clay, Byrd clay, Viking wax, Layrite Cement clay, Woodys clay, American Crew Fiber, and a few discontinued european brands that I can't remember the names of. Needless to say, I have some experience with hair products - specifically clay pomades.Rudy's clay pomade is at the VERY top of the list for me. It's soft, easy to loosen and push through hair. It holds my thick hair well, keeps the volume I want and allows for additional styling throughout the day without getting greasy. It has no scent and washes out easily. I can't believe anyone's given below 5 stars for this product. For the price, this is an unbelievable product that i'll certainly be using for years to come. I don't usually leave product reviews, but felt compelled to support this wonderful product. It won't let you down!

It lasts a long time this container - a good two months and it will hold all day and re-shape if needed during the day. Believe me, I have tried lots of brands and this the best so far

This stuff is great, holds well and gives a great textured look.

This is the original great clay pomade that brought back the natural look. Baxter copied this formula as I remember switching to Rudy’s from Baxter back before 2019 when they didn’t have a clay pomade. Baxter’s hard cream pomade (pink bottle) made my hair cakey and layered, like suavecito. Also per ounce it’s cheaper than Baxter. My barber at the Rudy’s barbershop in LA reluctantly recommended the shop’s clay pomade telling me he wasn’t trying to upsell me but rather saying it actually was the best on the market. Ever since I have not stopped using this clay pomade even though the barbershop chain went out of business. The scent is decent but isn’t strong at all. It washes out very easily, if you’re having issues getting it out of your hair you used way to much. Use a little at a time until your hair sticks. If you do apply to much, a couple sprinkles of water will loosen it. For the best hold, I recommend applying the product when your hair is bone dry.

Just works exactly as I had hoped. Easy to warm up, easy to apply, easy to clean off my hands. Doesn't feel heavy or greasy in my hair. Just perfect.

Wouldn't really call this strong hold - more like a medium.Smells pretty strong. I knew that it would be scented and I didn't think it would bother me that much, but after weeks of using it it gets sickening. Went back to an old jar of Tigi Bedhead I had lying around from a few years ago and I've never gone back to this. Meh

The product has a nice smell to it. Instructions in the packaging are easy to follow. I move around a lot for work and it last a pretty long time if applied properly. Overall great product.

Great all day hold, nice matte finish, perfect texture. Applies easier with damp hair.
