Sebastian Professional Styling Craft Clay | Remoldable Texturizing

I wrote this review because I saw that it was getting such low reviews because it was being compared to the now discontinued "Xtah Crude Clay" To be fair, I have never used it, but that's also why I thought it might be helpful to have a review that wasn't biased with the former users of Xtah Crude Clay. This is an EXCELLENT product. First, let me describe my hair and style that I wanted to achieve. I am a male with short to medium hair length (3.5 inches at the longest areas), very fine and soft so that there is no volume whatsoever, but I wanted to achieve the carefully placed messed up, voluminous look, where the hairs are clumped together, the kind you find in luxury magazine layouts. And this did the trick! The texture of this stuff is like hard clay/wax. it's super hard, so you have to dig it out and then rub it out in your palm or finger tips first and then when it's just a paste in your fingers you can just work it into your hair. there is no residue, no scent, and it doesn't leave it hard or crunchy and it washes out easily. so basically i thought it was an amazing product cuz everything else i tried didn't have the strength to clump my hair together. i tried bumble and bumble, bed head, and then cheaper brands like gatsby (the japanese one). bumble and bumble just didn't have the power to keep my hair clumped, bed head didn't have the power to keep my hair voluminous and gatsby was powerful but my hair didn't move at all... it's like glue that dries... i don't know how good Xtah crude clay was, but if THIS product is getting a 2 star in comparison to Xtah crude clay, then it must have been fantastic beyond belief. Bottom Line: this is great for holding up hair if you want it to spike it some places, curl off the side in others and do a messed up look with solid clumping effect, without the crunchy, shiny, or oiliness. and it is definitely a strong hold.

This is the only clay product that I can find that isn't wet. It's...well,clay-like. It washes out easily and helps to prevent my hair curling as it dries. It's the best.

I ordered this when I discovered the product "Molding Mud" had apparently been discontinued. I had hoped it was simply a redo of that former product. While this is not as desirable to me as molding mud..... it does the job. The size of the product is almost 1/4 of the original product... inflation I guess.. and the scent is quite honestly "off putting" but doesn't seem to linger. I loved the fragrance of molding mud a lot better and also loved the feel of that product more but this serves the purpose. Even though the size is small this stuff usually lasts forever because you use such a small amount each time. Liked it ok...but... probably will not buy it again......

This is good stuff for what it does. No "dirty" feel or heavy buildup, but keeps hair manageable. Lasts almost forever. For short hair a little goes a long way.

This product is exaClay what I was looking for. I have soft wavy hair not unmanageably so, other products sort of allow me to shape my hair the way I want but they leave my hair hard and stringy to the point where I can't mold it back in place if it gets messed up. This product feels natural in the hair (soft and matte as opposed to hard and shiny). I could mess my hair up just for fun and shape it right back into place with out applying more. It's not annoyingly sticky, to get the clay off your hands all you need to do is rinse and wipe your hands dry. It washes off your hair with shampoo, if not like if you just wet your air not really wash it you'll still have some product in your hair, if you have fairly soft hair you can it'll still have hold, you might even be able to reshape your hair without adding any extra product if you like. It doesn't have a noticeable scent so it doesnt collide with youre natural pheremones and choice of cologne. I first bought this online and put my faith in the reviews, now it's my turn to do the same for you.

Over-all, it gets the job done. It's a bit expensive for the size, but that doesn't bother me too much. There's a lot inside and I'm sure this will last. However, this clay is a bit odd and takes effort to work all the way through your hair evenly. I'm sure I'll get it down, it'll just take some practice. I've never tried the Crude Clay before, but I might purchase that on E-bay and see which one is better. But basically, this is a good product. It does what it says it will do and the hold is firm. If you only use a little bit it's perfect, but use too much and it'll clump your hair and make it look greasy. I'm not thrilled about this product, but I'm content. Or in other terms: it'll do. Oh, and the shipping took forever. 14 days to be exact - but it arrived and that's what matters.

Es por el momento la mejor cera modeladora de pelo que he probado en mi vida.

I bought this product on a cruise ship 3 months ago for 35 dollars and it was amazing. Still have the bottle, but wanted a back up. So I ordered this one, had exact same container but inside it is not the same product. This is lighter, stiffer, certainly not grainy like my 35 dollar purchase. And you know what? This is worse than the 6 dollar Axe gel at Target, so much worse. Basically I wasted 14 dollars and so will you.

Desde hace años es mi fav. Poco residuo, buena fijación.

it is a bit oily and difficult to wash away ....

ottima pasta per capelli, mio figlio la compra sempre , non unge e tiene i capelli in ordine .La clay ha una finitura opaca, lasciando i capelli asciutti e naturali dopo l'applicazione. A differenza di molti altri prodotti per capelli che lasciano una sensazione rigida, la Craft Clay mantiene i capelli morbidi. Per applicare la Sebastian Craft Clay Matte, basta prendere una piccola quantità , veramente poca , e strofinarla tra i palmi delle mani per emulsionarla. Successivamente, si può passare le mani tra i capelli, cercando di distribuire il prodotto alle radici e alle punte,con il calore generato dall'attrito delle mani si attiva il prodotto. Ha un leggero profumo di argilla che però non dà fastidio , quasi inesistente.

Great styling product. It keeps your shape all day and then a quick retouch and you are ready to go out in the evening.
