SEVEN POTIONS Hair Clay For Men and Women 3.4 fl oz - High Hold Matte Pomade - Effortless Hair Styling Product That Leaves No Residue - Water Based - Natural, Vegan, Cruelty Free

I have terribly sensitive skin including my scalp. This includes ezcema.I often get compliments on my thick wavy/curly hair. Some days however, my hair is less flattering. Adding product makes it consistently look great.I'm not a fan of gel so I've opted to try hair clay (as the slick, glossy look of pomade does not appeal to me)I've tried nearly a dozen brands by now... One particular brand had the worst and strongest scent that I actually received multiple complaints in a single day (never experienced that before about anything). But most irritated my scalp; one even flared up my eczema on my face (yes, my face broke out, it was REALLY bad). After awhile, I gave up. But after I healed up and some time had passed, I began looking again for a quality product that was gentle on skin.Seven Potions IS that product! NO irritation on my scalp AT ALL. It is definitely a clay and will not have that slick, glossy pomade look (which some "clays" that I've tried had which is misleadingly and not my preference). It is indeed matte but without being super matte like other brands which made my hair look dry & lifeless. Fortunately, it is just the right amount of matte; a natural look.Seven Potions applies moderately easy for a hair clay. Not too sticky like some other brands.It is unscented or at least a very light generic scent which I greatly prefer. It doesn't fight against my cologne when I do decide to wear any. Having too many scents mixing around is not good. (I just checked the product page to see if it was advertised as Unscent or not, but then noticed that other reviews mentioned a terrible scent. This is not my experience. Perhaps Seven Potions took note of these negative reviews and remedied the scent problem. I bought 2 of their hair clays so I can have 1 at my girlfriend's. I bought them a few weeks apart. Neither had a poor scent. It is pleasant and extremely light. I only smell it from the can and never on myself which is a selling point to me).I would not consider this a "high hold" though. Perhaps medium at best. Then again, I do not put more than a nickel size amount since I do not want to add too much weight to my hair or start looking greasy.The hold is natural as a hair clay should be. It won't fight up against wind (this isn't hair gel). And at the end of the day, the product seems to disintegrate while leaving the volume & curls in my hair, and smooth & soft too. Due to this, it is extremely easy to wash out considering most of the time, I don't feel its presence.I don't see myself using anything else moving forward.

Have been using for a few years now. One tin lasts me maybe 4 months. Goes on with a clean, unnoticeable look for my blond hair.

I love this hair styling clay. You get a generous portion in the tin that's going to last for a long time. The consistency is pretty stiff, but, after warming it in your hands, it goes on really well. My hair is medium to long, and everything stays in place but with a natural "tousled" look. Too, if you've been in a high wind, you have but to run your fingers through it, and everything is back in place easily. I started growing my hair out longer, so it was important for me to find something that worked well for styling and had ingredients that were which were good for my hair. This hair styling clay fills the bill on both!Regarding all the posts on it having a peculiar smell, IMHO, the scent is in no way off-putting to me. According to my nose personally, it is lightly fragrant with a different sort of smell I interpret as clay and natural ingredients. My Mum has a great sense of smell, so I put the open tin right under her nose. She inhaled deeply and said right away that she loved it. To be accurate however, she is a little old lady. I guess it's a matter of perspective: perhaps we're used to hair-care products that have been chemically engineered to smell artificially lovely. It's a lot more important to me to put something on my hair that is healthy with natural ingredients, vegan, and not tested on innocent animals. And it smells uniquely of Mother Nature.

I've been on the hunt for a hair clay that works with my curly, wavy hair for a while and after a few weeks of using Seven Potions my search has ended.The clay is pliable enough for me to get out of the can and it works well with my curls. I can adjust my hair throughout the day and the clay holds. Matte texture is great and I used it in my mustache too.The smell is fairly neutral, kind of mineral and earthy which I like. Will 100% be a return customer. Also like the packaging and tin case I can recycle once finished.

I really appreciate that this clay is natural and cruelty free, and the texture, hold and overall quality of it is great, but it is completely ruined by the overwhelming sandalwood fragrance that is added to it. Despite the description, there is nothing subtle about it. I've used it twice and it wound up giving me a headache each time. The fragrance does not wear off throughout the day and I've been told it's nauseating - definitely not suitable if you work in an office or other setting with a no fragrance policy. I wish I could get my money back but I didn't open this product in time to be able to return it, so in the trash it goes. Don't buy unless you want to walk around smelling like a human sandalwood diffuser!

Our household spends more money of hair products for my husband who has a thick, full head of hair. This product actually does the job and lasts..all day long. Best value for money. Great consistency. Holds all day in very active, hands on job. Have been buying for years and won’t stop any time soon.

This is a decent product, but far from the best of ones I've tried. For the price I expected this to be better.The good:- Hold is pretty strong overall- Texture. Product is easy to spread in your hands to use- I actually like the smell that others have complained aboutThe bad:It's overall just way too difficult to use; I've found that there's very little room for error when using this product. The dampness of my hair and the amount of product I use must be exact otherwise it doesn't turn out well. Once it starts to go bad I have yet to be successful in trying to fix it. Other products I've used were significantly better in this regard - they work well if my hair is more damp or dryer. It also doesn't hold up as well throughout the day as other products.
