Matt clay is used to style hair with a textured, natural-looking finish and a matte (non-shiny) appearance. Here's how to use it:
-
Start with dry or slightly damp hair: Matt clay generally works best on dry or almost dry hair. If your hair is too wet, the clay won't grip properly.
-
Scoop a small amount: The key to using matt clay effectively is to start small. Scoop out a pea-sized amount with your finger. Remember, you can always add more, but it's difficult to remove excess product.
-
Warm it up: Rub the clay between your palms to warm it up and make it more pliable. This allows for easier and more even distribution through your hair.
-
Apply evenly: Run your fingers through your hair from root to tip, ensuring the clay is distributed evenly. Focus on the areas where you want the most texture and hold.
-
Style and shape: Use your fingers to style your hair into your desired shape. You can create textured, messy looks, or more defined styles.
-
Add more if needed: If you need more hold or definition, add another small amount of clay and repeat steps 3-5.
Tips for using Matt Clay:
- Less is more: Start with a small amount and add more gradually to avoid weighing your hair down.
- Experiment: Different hair types and styles require different amounts of product. Experiment to find what works best for you.
- Clean hands: Wash your hands after applying the clay to avoid transferring it to your clothes or face.
- Avoid overuse: Using too much matt clay can make your hair look greasy or stiff.
By following these steps, you can effectively use matt clay to achieve a stylish and natural-looking hairstyle.
