Hanz De Fuko Claymation, but better?

So, over the past 6 months or so, I’ve tried a few different clays and pomades. And although I know it kinda gets hated on here, claymation easily gives me the best results. I have medium to fine, mostly straight hair, that also almost never gets oily. That said, I think that’s why claymation kinda works for me, since it adds some oils, without too much shine. My hairstyle itself is kinda just a messy mop top sort of look, so, do with that what you will.

Anyway though, I still feel like there could be an even better product out there for me. So, any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s what else I’ve tried:
- Shear Revival Gray Ghost - probably my 2nd favorite, just a bit too much shine
- Shear Revival American Gardens - didn’t like this one much at all. Too tacky. Left my hair looking dry and stiff.
- Brickell clay - not bad, but not much hold.
- Malin + Goetz pomade - not bad actually, but you’ve got a use a ton of it to get any results.
- Reuzel Extreme hold (gray one) - this one wasn’t great. Like a worse version of American gardens and gray ghost. Crispy, bad texture.

So yeah, does anyone have any recommendations? I don’t mind sticking with claymation, but, if there’s something similar but better out there, I’d like to try it.

Thanks!

Shear Revival American Gardens Review

This week, I will be reviewing Shear Revival American Gardens. This is a clay product that comes in the usual 3.4 oz glass container. It’s a water based clay using kaolin, bentonite, and sea clays. This product gives it a super matte and dry look.

The top layer requires effort to break through with the underneath being a bit easier to scoop. The breakdown does not take too much for it to spread.

The application can be rough. I got a good amount of tug and pull from this product. It is definitely harder to work through the hair compared to Reuzel Severed Head. Just combing my hair to style the product was difficult with my comb getting caught in spots due to my thick wavy hair.

The product has a very matte finish. There is little to no shine. I compare it to Severed Head on the shine. The hold is quite strong. I would say it has a bit more hold than Shear Revival Gray Ghost and Severed Head. It also provides a lot of texture in the hair.

The scent is said to be orange and oak moss. It’s pretty strong and lasts a good portion of the day. I am not a huge fan of the scent, but I do prefer it over Gray Ghost.

The washout requires a thorough shampoo if you want it all out. Water will not cut it. No need for a degrease though.

Overall, this is a solid product if you are looking for a strong holding matte clay that provides a lot of texture. Personally, there is a bit too much tug for me, but I think it could be the perfect product for someone looking for a strong hold clay. I have been drifting away from clays as of late so this product just doesn’t fit what I’m looking for as of now. If I am going to use a clay, I would rather use Reuzel Severed Head just because it’s easier to use and I like the scent more. Overall, this is a very good product, just does not fit what I am going for. I would give it an 8/10.

What is a good basic routine when using oil based pomade?

So what would a regular week look like? How often do you do the super duper degrease? When you shower normally do you just rinse with lukewarm water, don't touch it or use regular mild shampoo?

Is hair tonic/grooming tonic good to use?

What do you do after sports?

And is it really that easy to get breakouts? I'm now using a tshirt over my pillow case which I turn each day (so I get 4 fresh sides).

So... I need your help.

I just want a good product without strong scents that stays all day

Thick Hair

Anyone have any recommendations for a high hold pomade that is preferebly Organic for a slick back? I’ve tried the Highland products but not enough hold, currently using Johnny Slicks water based. My hair is extremely thick and hard to hold in place. This is what I go for for reference.

Clay recommendation for thin, dense hair?

I'm looking for a clay that will work on thin dense hair, i've heard a lot about claymation by hanz de fuko and i'm wondering if that would work for a textured fringe. I'm also open to recommendation's for other clays as long as there fairly easly to get in Canada.

What to do with my hair?

Here's my hair after shower. They are thick, straight and dry. It looks like straw and i never really liked my hair without product. Most of my friends tell me i have asian hair but all the asians i see have beautiful hair and i don't😭

Most of the time i go with middle part or slick back.

I tested several pomades, wax, clays, and all of those struggled to hold my hair in the same place for the entire day. I also felt like it damaged my hair.

Recently, i tested Reuzel Pink, i hated it, the scent is nice but it felt like glue. And the next morning i woke up with my hair completely out of place, i had to use an absurd amount of water to make it look half decent. It took many days and showers to remove it.

Do you guys know a product that works well with that type of hair, with a solid hold, easy to remove and that doesn't damage the hair?

Thick Asian Hair Products?

Hi, y’all.

My son is half Asian and his hair is extremely thick, coarse, and stick straight. He also sweats a lot and very easily so whenever I style his hair he either sweats it out or it loses its hold within an hour or so. He’s hitting the age where he’s starting to care about his looks and I need product suggestions that will actually hold his hair in place. My husband and I are both white. I’ve tried the white people products my husband owns on my son’s hair with no success, but don’t know what to try beyond that that won’t cost a lot of money. Help? Thanks!
