MITCH by Paul Mitchell Matterial Finishing Clay for Men, High Hold, Ultra-Matte Finish, For All Hair Types, 3 oz.

Brief: Great product, the most matte product I've ever found and incredibly strong hold once it dries (20-30 seconds after spreading across your hands)I care about my hair more than I should. A bad hair day means I'm putting on a hat and calling it good. Paul Mitchell's lineup is the only product I have used for 6 or 7 years now. I use the clean cut as my primary because I like that it stays maliable and has nice texture. It's a great option when my hair is freshly cut. After 2-3 weeks is starts to look overgrown and if I use the clean cut it can sometimes seems greasy. This is when I switch to this particular variation. It's very moist when you apply it to your hands, then starts to dry rapidly after about 20-30 seconds. Long enough to apply it without it being hard to spread, but you have to know how you're styling it once it's in.It's not gel-like stiffness at all, it's almost like my hair would be after a game when I was a catcher in baseball. I know this is a niche group that will understand but there is a dryness and clay-esque feeling about your hair when the dust/dirt/sweat mixes under the helmet. It doesn't give much if a textured look but for a somebody that runs a 2 or 3 guard on the side on a fresh cut and goes 3-4 weeks between appointments it's a nice way to keep a clean look for the last week or so before your next cut.

I've used multiple types of gel, pomade, clay, etc. for hair styling and for the longest time never really liked any of them that much and ended up sticking with American Crew. I found about this brand from some online suggestions and gave it a shot.First use I was blown away. This stuff is easy to apply, spreads nicely, holds really well, and best part is you don't really need a lot to make it work. The scent is also great, smells refreshing and manly. Also it washed off very easily from my hands unlike the American Crew which seemed a bit difficult to remove.Yes it cost more then most products, but you need less and it works great, so it's worth it.

I’ve been using this for years and it’s worth the money. I’ve tried several other matte styling pastes but they don’t compare. It’s a true matte finish that can hold up in the Deep South humidity. It smells great too - always getting compliments. I would suggest drying your hair completely before using. It makes it much easier to style and makes your hair look thicker.

purchase every 2 months. best to hold hair in place everyday. slick back look and holds all day long without using much product. does not have a bad smell. cons: hair has a slight greasy feel at end of day and overtime will leave a it of a residue on pillow case if you forget to wash it regularly as you should of course.

I used Hanz De Fuko a lot and I usually go off based on Amazon review. However, I decided to try Mitch because I kind of don't like how Hanz De Fuko is a bit dry for their paste. I decided to test this product by going to the club and this product is now my new favorite. I mean the paste is much softer than Hanz De Fuko and it doesn't have that weird smell. The smell from Mitch is definitely sandalwood and the hold is amazing will definitely use this product when go to work cause it is what Im looking for. Medium hold and smell great. Definitely gonna replace my previous claymation to this.

matt dry look, strong hold and easy to clean out

I ordered and tried this product based on the great reviews I saw here. This has great hold, but it dries hard, doesn't remain malleable, and gets a little crusty if you try to touch your hair after it's set.Tip: Put in hair while it's damp. This stuff isn't for dry hair unless you want a bad time.Pros:Strong holdMatte finishCons:Does not remain malleable throughout the day for style adjustments or even just running your hands through your hair. If you go very light, then you can sort of break through with your fingers.Acts a bit like a glue in your hair and gets brittle after it dries.To be clear, it's not a bad product and I can see myselfb using it in certain circumstances, but I'm rating it this because it's advertised as staying flexible/adjustable all day which it is not.

Works great I would recommend this product
