Johnny Slicks Formula 49 Clay Pomade — 2 oz Original | Firm Hold, Matte Finish & Hydrating Oils

Johnny Slicks Formula 49 Clay is an all-organic, beeswax-and-bentonite pomade that delivers firm, long-lasting hold with a natural matte finish while nourishing scalp and hair.

If you want a styling product that locks shape without a greasy shine and uses plant-forward, recognizable ingredients, Formula 49 was formulated for that purpose. This 2-ounce tin blends bentonite clay, beeswax, coconut and castor oils to create a pliable pomade that styles straight, thick, or curly hair, and also helps hydrate dry scalp skin. Made and sourced in the USA by a veteran-owned company in North Carolina, it arrives scented in a warm, wood-forward Original fragrance.

How does this pomade hold hair all day without looking oily?

Formula 49 relies on a bentonite clay and beeswax base to grip hair strands and maintain shape while minimizing surface shine. The clay absorbs excess oils and the wax sets the style, so you get firm control without the lacquered look of some heavy creams.

• Bentonite clay for oil absorption and texture
• Beeswax for firm, flexible hold
• Matte finish—no glossy residue
• Easy restyle with fingers or comb

Will this product work on dry scalps or flaking skin?

Formula 49 includes coconut and castor oils to help hydrate skin and reduce visible dryness when used as part of a regular grooming routine. While not a medicated treatment, the blend can soothe and add moisture to dry areas when applied carefully to the hairline and scalp.

• Coconut oil for lightweight moisturization
• Castor oil to help lock in moisture
• Bentonite clay gently cleansing and balancing oils
• Apply sparingly at scalp to avoid buildup

How do I use Formula 49 for best results?

Warm a small amount between your palms until it softens, then work through dry hair and shape with a comb or fingers. Start with a pea-sized portion for short hair and increase as needed for thicker or longer styles; the pomade layers without becoming heavy.

• Rub between palms to emulsify
• Apply to dry hair for maximum hold
• Style with comb or fingers; reworkable during the day
• Wash out with regular shampoo

What does the Original scent smell like and are there any cautions?

The Original aroma is warm and woodsy, blending amber, teakwood, cedar, sandalwood and roasted coffee notes for a masculine, understated profile. As with any fragranced product, avoid contact with eyes and keep away from children; people sensitive to fragrances should patch-test first.

• Warm amber and teakwood center
• Hints of cedar, sandalwood, and coffee beans
• Fragrance is body-safe but may irritate sensitive noses
• Store at moderate temperatures to preserve texture

Who is this for? Johnny Slicks Formula 49 suits anyone wanting a natural, firm-hold styling option without shine—especially men seeking a product that tames thick or curly hair while adding scalp moisture. It's a good fit for customers who prefer recognizable, USA-sourced ingredients and a woodsy signature scent, and for those who need a compact 2-ounce tin for travel or daily carry. Not intended as a medicated scalp therapy; consult a professional for persistent scalp conditions.
