Hawkins & Brimble Matt Clay 100ml — Non-Greasy Matte Hair Clay with Elemi & Ginseng for Flexible Hold and Texture

Hawkins & Brimble Matt Clay is a lightweight, non-greasy styling clay that delivers a natural matte finish with flexible hold and nourishing botanicals for easy restyling.

Engineered for everyday grooming, this 100ml pot combines elemi and ginseng to provide texture, control and subtle conditioning without shine. The formula works on dry or slightly damp hair, allowing you to sculpt styles ranging from tousled and casual to neat and structured. It’s designed to give hold without stiffness, so you can reshape your hair during the day while maintaining a lived-in matte appearance.

How strong is the hold and what kind of finish can I expect?

The clay offers a spectrum of hold from light to strong depending on how much you apply and whether your hair is damp or dry. It leaves a matte, non-reflective surface rather than a wet or glossy look, letting texture and volume stand out naturally.

• Light hold: small pea-size amount for loose, textured looks
• Medium hold: moderate amount for controlled everyday styles
• Strong hold: larger application for defined shapes and long-lasting control
• Finish: natural matte with no oily residue

Will this product weigh my hair down or make it look greasy?

No — the formulation is non-greasy and designed to add texture rather than weight. Lightweight clay particles provide grip and separation while elemi and ginseng help condition the hair so it appears healthier without a shiny finish.

• Non-greasy base keeps roots light and voluminous
• Matte texture prevents unwanted shine
• Suitable for short to mid-length hair that needs definition
• Easy to wash out with a normal shampoo

How do I use it for best results and can I restyle my hair during the day?

Warm a small amount between your palms and work through dry or towel-dried hair, starting at the roots and moving to ends. Because the clay remains pliable, you can reshape or refresh your look at any time without adding more product, making it convenient for on-the-go adjustments.

• Step 1: Scoop a pea-sized amount and warm in hands
• Step 2: Apply evenly from roots to tips, layer for stronger hold
• Step 3: Use fingers or a comb to shape and add texture
• Restyling: simply ruffle or smooth with fingers to adjust throughout the day

What benefits do elemi and ginseng bring to my hair?

Elemi contributes to lightweight manageability and a pleasant natural aroma, while ginseng supports the feeling of healthier, fuller-looking hair by adding conditioning properties. Together they help maintain hair texture without leaving build-up or stiffness.

• Elemi: light conditioning and a fresh scent
• Ginseng: helps hair feel stronger and more resilient
• No heavy silicones, avoiding long-term residue
• Leaves hair touchable and natural-looking

Who is this for? Hawkins & Brimble Matt Clay suits men seeking a versatile, everyday styling product that balances control with a natural matte aesthetic. It’s ideal for those who prefer a low-shine finish, need flexible restyling, or want a product that conditions as it styles. Whether you have fine, medium or thicker hair, this clay adapts to different holds and lengths, making it a practical addition to a modern grooming routine.
