Clay Pomade vs. Matte Paste: Which One Do You Choose?

When it comes to hair styling products, the options can be overwhelming. Among the many choices available, two of the most popular are clay pomade and matte paste. But what exactly are these products, and what distinguishes one from the other? In this article, we'll compare clay pomade and matte paste, including their characteristics, hold, finish, and ingredients. Our goal is to help you decide which product is right for you based on your hair type and desired style.

What is Clay Pomade?

Introducing our Clay Pomade - a natural, plant-based hair styling product that uses ingredients like clay and white beeswax to create a firm hold with a matte finish. It's a perfect pomade for thin hair or fine hair. It adds volume and texture without weighing hair down. With its ability to create a natural, relaxed look, our Clay Pomade is ideal for casual or everyday wear.

Ingredients in Clay Pomade

What's inside our Clay Pomade? A blend of natural ingredients like kaolin clay, white beeswax, bentonite clay, castor wax, jojoba oil, shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, avocado oil, candelilla wax, castor oil, and vitamin E oil. These ingredients work together to provide a firm hold and matte finish while nourishing and protecting your hair. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and hello to natural, effective styling with our Clay Pomade.

Clay Power: The Benefits of Kaolin and Bentonite Clay for Hair Care

At Battle Born Grooming Co, we believe that natural ingredients are the key to effective and healthy hair care. That's why we proudly use kaolin clay and bentonite clay in both our clay pomade and matte paste. These all-natural ingredients are popular in the world of hair care due to their unique properties and the variety of benefits they provide for the hair and scalp. Our commitment to using only the best natural ingredients ensures that you're getting high-quality, effective hair styling products that are safe for your hair and scalp.

Kaolin clay, also known as white clay, is a gentle, mild clay well-suited for sensitive skin and scalps. When used in hair care products, kaolin clay can help to:

  1. Cleanse the Hair and Scalp

Kaolin clay is a natural cleanser, helping to remove impurities, dirt, and excess oil from the hair and scalp. This makes it an ideal ingredient for shampoos and other hair care products, particularly for those with oily hair or scalps.

  1. Soothe and Calm the Scalp

Kaolin clay has natural soothing, and calming properties that can help to reduce redness, itching, and irritation on the scalp. This makes it a great choice for individuals with sensitive or inflamed scalps.

  1. Add Volume and Texture

Like bentonite clay, kaolin clay can help to add volume and texture to the hair, making it easier to style and creating a fuller, more voluminous look.

Bentonite clay, on the other hand, is a more absorbent and heavy-duty clay that is particularly well-suited for oily or acne-prone skin and scalps. When used in hair care products, bentonite clay can help to:

  1. Absorb Excess Oil and Impurities

Bentonite clay is highly absorbent and can help to absorb excess oil and impurities from the hair and scalp. This makes it an ideal ingredient for hair products that aim to provide a matte finish and for individuals with oily hair or scalps.

  1. Detoxify the Scalp

Bentonite clay has natural detoxifying properties that can help to remove impurities and buildup from the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth and improving the overall health of the scalp.

  1. Add Volume and Texture

Like kaolin clay, bentonite clay can help to add volume and texture to the hair, making it easier to style and creating a fuller, more voluminous look.

The versatility and benefits of kaolin clay and bentonite clay make them must-have ingredients in hair care products. Choosing natural hair care products that contain these ingredients can help you achieve a variety of hair goals, from adding volume and texture to your hair to cleansing and detoxifying your scalp. At Battle Born Grooming Co, we're committed to providing you with hair styling products that contain the best natural ingredients, including kaolin clay and bentonite clay, to help you achieve the healthy, stylish hair you deserve.

NATURAL STYLING: ACHIEVE EFFORTLESS LOOKS WITH CLAY POMADE

Effortless Hold and Matte Finish: Achieve Your Ideal Hairstyle With Our Clay Pomade

What is Matte Paste?


Are you looking for a hair styling product that provides a strong hold and a matte finish? Look no further than our Matte Paste. With a thicker and more concentrated formula than clay pomade, Matte Paste is ideal for those with thicker, coarser hair. This product is perfect for creating polished, defined styles that require a higher level of hold and control. Whether you're going for a sleek, sophisticated look or a more textured, messy style, our Matte Paste has got you covered.

Ingredients in Matte Paste


Like our clay pomade, our matte paste is made with natural ingredients like white beeswax, kaolin clay, bentonite clay, castor wax, jojoba oil, shea butter, meadow foam seed oil, avocado oil, candelilla wax, castor oil, vitamin E oil. However, the proportions of these ingredients vary from each other based on hold and performance.

Differences between Clay Pomade and Matte Paste


While both clay pomade and matte paste share some similarities, there are also several key differences between the two products. Here are a few of the most notable distinctions:

  • Hold: Clay pomade provides a firm hold but with a more natural, relaxed look. Matte paste, on the other hand, provides a stronger hold that's ideal for more polished, defined styles.
  • Finish: Clay pomade provides a matte finish, perfect for creating a more natural, textured look. Matte paste also provides a matte finish but with a slightly more polished appearance.
  • Texture: Clay pomade has a creamier texture that's easier to work through hair, while matte paste tends to be thicker and more concentrated.
  • Hair type: Clay pomade is well-suited for those with fine or thin hair, while the matte paste is better for those with thicker, coarser hair.
  • Styling: Clay pomade is ideal for creating more relaxed, messy styles, while matte paste is better for making more defined, structured styles.

Choosing the Right Product

When choosing between clay pomade and matte paste, several factors must be considered. These include your hair type, the level of hold and finish you want and the specific look you're trying to achieve.

  • Clay pomade may be the better choice if you have fine or thin hair and want a more natural, textured look.
  • The matte paste may be the better choice if you have thicker, coarser hair and want a more polished, defined look.

Additionally, you should experiment with both products to see which works best for your needs.

It's important to note that clay pomade and matte paste offer a wide range of benefits that distinguish them from many other hair styling products.

Our clay pomade and matte paste are both crafted with natural ingredients free from harmful substances such as petroleum, parabens, and sulfates. The natural ingredients we use are gentle on your hair and scalp while also being environmentally friendly.

Moreover, both products are recognized for their ability to provide a firm/strong hold with a matte finish, which is a style favored by many.
