Why dry clay?

We looked for product reviews on blogs and social media. And most reviews agree that STMNT dry clay is easy to apply without leaving residue or clumps, that the finish is matte and, a very good advantage: that it lasts all day. Seriously, no hairspray. You have to trust it.

How to use STMNT dry clay

Don't let the banging of the next person in the shower queue stop you: you can do it in a flash. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Wash your hair as usual; if you want to stick with the same line, STMNT also has many shampoo options.
2. Dry it, already styling it in the direction you want it to go.
3. When it's almost dry, put down the dryer and breathe. You're halfway there.
4. Open the STMNT dry clay and take a pinch of product equivalent to a chickpea, or the size of your fingertip.
5. Warm it up by rubbing until it achieves a flexible texture. This step is important so you can apply it well later.
6. Spread the product evenly. You can do it from roots to ends, or, to avoid it looking too clumpy, by dabbing it on the surface.
7. Wash your hands with warm water.
8. And now for the magic moment: now you can style your hair however you want. A trick: if a piece is resistant, grab that strand and twist it; it will be more pliable.

Why is it dry clay and not wax?

Let's not get confused: clay and wax are two different products. Dry clay creates more natural styles and is better for longer hair, although it also works very well on short hair. Both provide volume and thickness to the hair.

If you're a wax-only type, STMNT's powder wax achieves a non-sticky semi-matte result.
