Anchors Aweigh Vegan All Natural Courage Clay 4oz

I have thick, wavy, and generally hard to control hair. It seems like I'm on a never-ending quest for the perfect hair product. I decided to try the Anchors Courage Clay and I'm glad I did. This one is a keeper.The scent of the product in the jar is reminiscent of vanilla and cinnamon - I can't quite put my finger on it to describe it better. It is not strongly fragranced, and the scent is very pleasant on my hair.The clay itself is very creamy. I'd say the consistency of cake icing out of a container. It is very easy to apply to my hair, and a little goes a long way. I do feel it "grip" as it is being applied, but it is very workable and easy to style. I apply to towel dried hair and let air dry.I'd describe the hold as medium, but surprisingly for my hard to manage hair, that is adequate with this product. It doesn't harden in my hair or make it sticky. My hair stays in place and has wonderful texture, while remaining soft to touch and reshape if needed. It is also a matte finish, so my hair doesn't look wet or greasy.I hate products that don't wash out easily, and was pleased that this clay comes out with just one wash.All in all, this is a great product. I highly recommend especially for thick or hard to manage hair.

Es lo que estaba buscando. Una cera natural de arcilla con base de agua. No engrasa el pelo . Se queda moldeable y con aspecto natural. Se diluye con el agua y desaparece fácilmente . Es muy ligera. Muy recomendable. Por poner un pero creo que le sobra el colorante para darle el color azul verdoso.Por cierto el producto lleva si existencias desde que lo compré . Me gustaría saber cuándo estará disponible.

I've been using this product since 2017. Loved the texture, hold and of course what it's made out of.... but the smell was ok. Sometimes, it smelled like someone was smoking a cigarette and blew the smoke into the clay... otherwise, loved the stuff.Went to purchase another jar today and saw it was unavailable. Seems the owner sold his business and the new company is rebranding and reformulating (compared what was on the jar I have to what the new company is selling and it's very different.) It also seems you can only purchase the new product on their website. I don't mind the rebranding, but they are also shrinking how much you get from 4.5oz to 3.5 oz and increasing the costs from $23 to $28. So you get less product and it's a different more expensive product... They just lost me as a customer... Time to find another brand.

This is an amazing product. It has a strong/firm hold. The amount you’d need to use will depend on the length, thickness, and texture of your hair. While it has a strong/firm hold, you can still brush through your hair. It is water based and washes away easily from hair. I have shirt to medium hair and love it. You can grab a nickel sized amount and add a couple of drops of water into it or simply just use it as grabbed from bottle. This will all depend on factors already mentioned. I have been using this for 2 years now and this is the only product I love besides the Aveda clay that I used to use. But this is way better for me and for my type of hair.

I love this stuff. It holds back my hair all day, although I use a little more than with other products. It's reworkable too which is nice, and leaves a natural finish that doesn't look or feel greasy or shiny. Only problem is that it claims to wash out easily and while it's not the worst, it's not easily water soluble and you will have to use a light shampoo or brush in the shower to get all of it out. I like to use leave in conditioner between uses. Now I'm sure there is a reason for this, as if they used the amount of hemp and other oils as my other products, they would probably be just as greasy and shiny as those products, too. Either way this is a great purchase and I love using it. It does leave a slight matter residue that will appear whitish if not properly worked into your hair, so make sure to work it into your hands really well and apply evenly, checking for any clumps of product by running your fingers and/or a comb or brush through your hair. Love that it's cruelty free but my review is solely based on the performance of this Courage Clay and not on the ethicality of it. A solid 4 star if not 5 star product from a great company. Will be buying again.
