HUX Matt Clay, an everyday hair clay essential for shorter, choppier style, designed to provide a matt finish with a strong hold, 85g

I bought a pot of Hux strong a few months ago and absolutely hated it and put a bad review on here. Since then I’ve given it a second chance and I love it. Maybe I didn’t give it a fair go or was I just having a bad day? It’s a good price and a good product. Worth a try.

Needed a good quality, nice texture, not too firm, vegan product. This is it.

I haven’t used styling clay in my hair before but so far I have been impressed by this brand. It is quite hard in the hand compared to styling wax (which is the only other experience with hair products I have had), but you really don’t need to use very much to get a good hold on your hair. It also has a nice fresh smell to it and most importantly, even after multiple days of use, doesn’t make your hair greasy. On my shorter hair I really only need a small amount and it keeps its hold the entire day, so definitely works better than expected. It is also easy to wash off of your hands and out of your hair and doesn’t have a tacky feel to it.I guess that my only real critique of this wax is that it is on the pricier side. Granted, I do think it will last a long time, but it is close to double the amount of the usual predicted I would typically use. With this said, I do think that for that price you are getting a professional standard product so for some this would be a justifiable price and purchase.

This Hux clay is fairly solid in the plasic jar but warms up when rubbed between the hands to turn into a sticky paste.When applied to the hair, it adds a good deal of hold and volume. At the same time, it is pretty much invisible - it leaves no visible residue or shine on the hair.The product has almost no fragrance. Spreading it on the hands, the fragrance is undetectable. It's only when smelling the product on the hands that you get a very slight hit of citrus.It's great that the produce is vegan and has no animal-based products on it. It's a shame though that there appear to be no certifications to state that the product was not tested on animals during its formulation.Overall, the product works well for adding volume and a decent amount of hold (but not total, solid hold). As a bonus, the product leaves only the slightest bit of stickiness on the hands. I have had other products that I had to wash off with hand soap and water - but I could potentially get away without washing my hands after applying this Hux matt clay.

This is a great tub of clay. My hair is thick and medium length - I have a 2 on the back and sides and leave a coupl inches of length on the top. A tiny bit of this clay holds my hear in place for an entire day easily, even if there are strong winds. Rain does affect it, but not as much as some other similar products I have tried. Just keep your head dry!I can easily see this tub lasting me 100+ uses. The hold is great and you don't need much at all.It leaves no visible residue on your hair and provides a Matte finish which looks natural on my hair. It's also super easy to wash off your hands and wash out of your hair. One wash of my hands and it's gone, which is a big bonus, as I'm used to washing my hands three times and still feeling the clay/putty of other products...It also smells really nice!Overall, I highly recommend this product. Definitely will be purchasing again in the future.

Like many of the Hux product range the first thing that hit me with this one was the fragrance, it smells amazing! The clay is quite solid in the tub but once rubbed into your hands and heated up it is easy to apply and style your hair with. You only need a small amount and on my shorter, thinner hair it adds volume and worked in easy. It holds without being too firm, has a matt, natural look and generally lasts for most of the day. It even feels nice to the touch, it doesn't leave you with waxxy fingers if you run your fingers through.This is certainly one of the better clays I have used and is great value for money, its not nearly as expensive as some of the others I have tried but it's just as good!

Review from my husband:This is a matt clay with quite short hair in mind, I think a maximum of 3-4 inches as anything longer than that, I found it struggles to keep it in place. It's really easy to use though and once you’ve warmed it some, it becomes very malleable and easily utilized. It has a nice smell to it also, not too strong. I have a short back and sides and longer hair on top and I thought it would be able to keep it in place but alas it doesn't manage and say if you wear a hood at all, forget it as just sticks up all over the place when the hood is removed and you find yourself rapidly restyling your Barnett quick sharp. It's a decent-sized tub and it's true that it leaves no visible sheen or residue, so that’s good, but for 8 quid it's a bit dear I have to say and I can't see myself buying it again. I need something with more hold and a little less pricey. May work for you, but from my experience, I'd have to give this a 3/5.

I apply to my fingers then work through.It doesn't leave wet looking residue and holds well.I use to finish my choppy ends.It looks more defined.Recommend
