How To Use
Applying men's hair clay is an art, and with the right technique, you can style your hair like a pro. Here are some application tips to help you get started.
Before you even touch the clay, there's some pre-application preparation to do. It's best to start with clean, towel-dried hair. This will make the application smoother, and the clay will distribute evenly through your hair. Remember, your hair should be slightly damp but not wet. Too much water can dilute the clay and lessen its hold.
Now, onto the application process.
Step 1: Take a small amount of clay (about the size of a pea or a dime) to start with. You can always add more later if needed.
Step 2: Rub the clay between your palms until it's evenly distributed and warmed up a bit. This will make it easier to work with.
Step 3: Apply the clay to your hair, starting from the back and moving towards the front. Make sure you work it in from root to tip.
Step 4: Once the clay is in, you can start styling your hair as desired. Use your fingers for a more casual, textured look or a comb for a neater, slicked-back style.
Tip: Less is more when it comes to hair clay. Start with a small amount and add more if needed. Overdoing it can make your hair heavy and harder to style. Also, if you want a more matte finish, blow dry hair into place after applying clay to damp hair.
Now, to achieve the best results, it's all about experimentation. Different hair types and hairstyles may require different amounts of clay or different application techniques. Don't be afraid to try different things until you find what works best for you.
Last but not least, let's talk about maintaining hair health while using hair clays. Even though the best hair clays are typically less drying than other styling products, it's still crucial to care for your hair. Consider using a hydrating shampoo or conditioner to keep your hair moisturized. Regularly washing out the clay to avoid build-up and giving your hair a break from styling products now and then can also contribute to healthier hair.
Styling your hair with clay doesn't have to be a daunting task. With these tips and tricks in your arsenal, you're well on your way to achieving that perfect look.
