Natural Hair Styling Mud

Light hold & natural texture. Plant-based styling formula. With English-grown rosemary & peppermint essential oils.

Natural styling with a light, flexible hold and a touchable matte finish.

Crafted in our Lancashire lab using 100% natural, vegan and palm-free ingredients, our Natural Hair Styling Mud combines kaolin white clay with organic shea butter and botanical oils to add definition and texture without leaving hair feeling stiff.

Kaolin clay provides light structure and a natural matte finish, while Soil Association-certified organic shea butter, castor oil and organic sunflower oil help condition and soften the hair as you style.

The fresh herbal aroma comes from English-grown rosemary essential oil and peppermint essential oil, grown and distilled in England, complemented by the subtle warmth of clove essential oil to create a distinctive, alluring scent.

Suitable for most hair types, it can be used to add texture and definition to shorter styles, tame flyaways, or worked through longer hair before blow-drying to help create natural-looking volume and texture. A little goes a long way — start small and build as needed.

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.
