Overview
Natural clay soaks up oil and shine while strong fixatives lock the style, so hair dries to an ultra-matte, textured finish. Paul Mitchell built Mitch Matterial with thickening ingredients that bulk up fine strands.
Hold plus thickness with zero shine makes it a fit for modern textured cuts. Anyone wanting a wet or polished look should choose a pomade instead.
Who it's for
Short to medium textured styles, quiffs and messy looks suit a matte clay. Slick-back and wet-look styles need a shinier product.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Clay particles absorb oil, which removes shine and gives grip for texture, while fixatives set the shape. Working a small amount through dry hair spreads it evenly, as too much can look dull or heavy.
