Natural Hair Mud

Our natural soft hold hair styling mud is a premium hair styling clay with 100% natural ingredients and a subtle woody scent. Soft hold styling for short hair; works well to tame the longer mane and hold down the fly away hairs.

We have created a firm to the touch mud lightly scented with sustainably sourced sandalwood and cypress essential oils for completely natural hair styling. We use organic shea butter and organic jojoba seed oils to nourish the hair shaft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of hold does it give?

A light, flexible hold designed to create natural texture and definition while keeping hair touchable.

Does it have a matte finish?

Yes. Kaolin white clay helps create a natural matte finish rather than a wet or glossy look.

What hair is it best for?

It is suitable for most hair types. Use it on short to medium hair for texture, definition and light hold, or work a small amount through longer hair before blow-drying to help create texture and volume. If your hair is very fine, start with a tiny amount and build gradually.

What does Hair Mud smell like?

Fresh and aromatic, with English-grown rosemary and peppermint essential oils lifted by the subtle warmth of clove. The result is a clean, herbal and unexpectedly alluring scent — distinctive without being overpowering.

Where are the rosemary and peppermint essential oils from?

Both are grown and distilled in England, giving us excellent provenance and traceability for two of the formula's key botanicals.

Is the packaging plastic-free?

The Hair Styling Mud is presented in an amber glass jar. The lid contains a small functional plastic liner, so the packaging is not completely plastic-free. The jar is eligible for our National Glass Returns Scheme.
