About Clay Matte Pomade

What Is a Clay Pomade?

A clay pomade uses a natural clay base, in this case kaolin, instead of the waxes and oils in a traditional pomade. The clay absorbs oil, thickens the hair strand and delivers a true Matte Finish, so hair looks fuller and defined rather than wet. Because Clay Matte Pomade is water based, it gives clay texture without the removal effort an oil based product needs.

How to Use Matte Clay for Textured Styles

Matte clay rewards proper emulsifying: warm one to two knuckles between your palms until it spreads thin, then apply from the crown forward on towel dried or dry hair and comb into shape. Small layered applications give more control than one big scoop, and the hold builds each time you reapply. Damp fingers re-activate it later in the day for a quick reshape.

Clay Matte Pomade vs the Other Matte Options

Within the Matte Finish range, Clay Matte gives Medium Hold with the most touchable, natural result. Fiber Pomade holds firmer and adds volume with Low Shine. Extreme Hold Matte is the maximum hold option for thick or unruly hair. Choose Clay Matte for lived-in texture, Fiber for grip and volume, and Extreme Hold Matte for all-day lock on thick or unruly hair.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What is Reuzel Clay Matte Pomade used for?
Reuzel Clay Matte Pomade is a water-based pomade with medium 6/10 hold and a true matte 1/10 shine, infused with kaolin clay, quinoa, aloe vera, and vitamin E. It adds lightweight texture, volume, and definition without weighing hair down - ideal for natural, lived-in styles like textured crops, side parts, and casual quiffs. Available in 1.3 oz and 3.38 oz tins, Clay Matte sits between Fiber Pomade (firmer hold) and softer styling creams in Reuzel's range.
What hair type is Reuzel Clay Matte best for?
Clay Matte Pomade is best for fine to medium hair that needs visible body and texture without weight. The kaolin clay base absorbs excess oil and creates a touchable, matte finish that won't flatten thin strands. It also works well on medium-thickness hair seeking a relaxed, no-product-look style with subtle definition rather than firm structure. For fuller hold on thicker hair, Reuzel's Fiber Pomade (Navy) or Concrete Hold Matte (Silver) provide more grip with a matte finish. For the strongest hold on coarse hair, Extreme Hold Matte (Dark Grey) is the maximum option.
How do you apply Reuzel Clay Matte Pomade?
Scoop one knuckle of product, emulsify between your palms until fully spread, then apply to dry or slightly damp hair starting at the crown and working forward. Work scalp to ends, coating hair liberally, then comb into your desired shape. Apply more over any dry spots. Avoid wet hair unless you want diluted hold. Clay Matte spreads thin, so warming it fully in your palms before application is important. The product builds well, so layering small amounts gives more control than applying a single large scoop.
Does Reuzel Clay Matte wash out easily?
Yes. Clay Matte Pomade is water-soluble and rinses out with regular shampoo, no degreasing required. Like all of Reuzel's water-based and hybrid pomades (Grey, Navy, Silver, Blue, Red), it removes cleanly with daily shampoo. Even though kaolin clay has some natural absorbency, the formula does not bond to hair the way oil-based grease pomades do. Daily shampooing prevents any buildup. For deeper cleansing, Reuzel's Scrub Shampoo can be used occasionally to clear residue from clay and silica.
What does Reuzel Clay Matte smell like and what is it made of?
Clay Matte Pomade has Reuzel's signature vanilla mint scent — the same fragrance as Fiber Pomade, designed to be subtle and not compete with cologne. The water-based formula features kaolin clay for oil absorption and matte finish, with quinoa protein, aloe vera, and vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) for conditioning. It is light enough for daily use without drying hair.
Can you restyle Clay Matte Pomade during the day?
Yes. The kaolin clay adds workable, re-shapeable texture, so you can re-work the style with your fingers through the day, and the buildable formula lets you reapply on top for more hold.
