How will 85 Karats clay change my styling routine?

This clay simplifies everyday styling by providing a dependable, malleable hold that stays put while remaining touchable. It’s suitable for quick finger-styling or more deliberate, sculpted looks, and rinses out with water so maintenance is low.

• Strong yet flexible hold for lasting shapes.
• Matte, low-shine finish for natural texture.
• Works on damp or dry hair for versatile application.
• Easy water wash-out reduces product buildup.

What’s the best way to apply this clay for maximum lift?

For noticeable lift, warm a small amount between your fingers until soft, then work the clay into roots while lifting hair upward. For overall texture, distribute through mid-lengths and ends, shaping with fingers or a comb to build the desired structure.

• Rub a pea-sized amount between fingers to soften before applying.
• Apply at roots for lift, through lengths for texture.
• Add more product in thin layers to avoid heaviness.
• Use on damp hair for a controlled finish, or dry hair for stronger definition.

Does this product suit sensitive scalps or ethical preferences?

The formula is vegan-friendly and Leaping Bunny certified, and it’s marketed without certain phthalates and parabens. Still, the ingredient list contains fragrances and preservatives, so patch testing is recommended if you have sensitive skin.

• Vegan and cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny certified).
• Paraben- and phthalate-free claims on the range.
• Contains fragrance and some preservatives—test first if reactive.
