Overview

A stylist chasing runway texture at home gets a strong hold clay with an oily, gritty feel and matte finish from KEVIN.MURPHY. Soya bean and bamboo extracts strengthen hair and seal rough ends while it holds.

Strong hold that stays moldable works on all hair lengths. The oily grit takes practice, since too much can look slick instead of matte.

Who it's for

Short to longer styles needing firm control suit this clay. Very fine hair may find the gritty texture heavy.

Performance notes

Grit roughens strands so they grab each other, while the oily base holds the clay moldable. Warming a small amount in the palms first spreads it thinly. The extracts condition while it stays in the hair.
