Overview
Working a small amount between the palms and through damp or dry hair, Aveda Men Pure-Formance Grooming Clay builds texture with strong hold. The lightweight clay leaves a matte finish and styles with a comb or fingers.
Strong hold that stays pliable lets short styles be reshaped through the day without shine. Size and full ingredients are missing from the bullets and specs.
Who it's for
Textured crops, quiffs and messy styles get grip without gloss. Men wanting a glossy pompadour should reach for a pomade instead.
Pros and cons
- Strong hold that stays pliable
- Matte, shine free finish
- Works on damp or dry hair
- Size not in bullets or specs
- No shine option
- Can feel dry on coarse hair
Performance notes
Clay particles add grip between strands, so hair holds a shape while staying movable. Applying to damp hair spreads it thinner for a softer hold, while dry hair gives a firmer, more textured result.
