Our verdict

A matte clay for short hair that wants bulky texture and firm, moldable hold. Long hair falls outside what it is built for.

Overview

Kaolin clay creates the matte effect in Sumoclay, while rice bran wax and PVP polymers give a firm hold that stays moldable. Bumble and bumble aims it at short, fine to medium straight or wavy hair.

Bulky matte texture that can be reshaped suits short cuts that need definition without shine. Its fragrance of pineapple leaf, rose and vanilla is noticeable, which may not suit everyone.

Who it's for

Short cuts that lack grip and go flat match this clay. Long or very thick hair and shine lovers need a different product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Matte, bulky texture
  • Firm hold that remolds
  • Kaolin clay mattifies
  • Lightweight on fine hair
Cons
  • Made for short hair only

Performance notes

Kaolin absorbs oil and mattifies, while wax and polymers bind strands into texture that holds shape. Warming it between the palms spreads it thinly so fine hair is not weighed down. More product gives firmer hold.
