Don’t need much of this stuff. Very strong- pefect

It’s hair clay that does the job

After using Sebastian Form Craft Clay, I have a few observations to share. The product, known for its styling prowess, offered a somewhat mixed experience.
One of the key aspects where it falls short is the hold. It’s average at best, which was a bit disappointing considering the brand’s reputation. The clay provided some degree of texture and control, but it didn’t quite deliver the lasting hold I expected, especially for more dynamic styles or longer days.
The lack of scent was another downside. I usually appreciate a subtle fragrance in my styling products, but this clay barely had any aroma, making the application experience less engaging than I’m used to.
The texture of the clay is somewhat heavy and can be a bit tricky to work through the hair. This might be a deterrent for those who are new to using hair clays or have finer hair, as it can feel a bit overwhelming and may lead to a weighed-down appearance.
In terms of the finish, the clay does offer a nice matte look, which is a positive if you’re aiming for a natural, non-shiny style. However, this alone doesn’t quite make up for its other shortcomings.
The pricing feels a bit high given the overall performance. While the brand is known for quality products, the value proposition is somewhat diminished by the average hold and lack of a pleasing scent.
Overall, I’d rate the Sebastian Form Craft Clay a 3 out of 5. While it does provide a matte finish and is workable for basic styling, its average hold, lack of fragrance, and heavy texture make it a product that might not meet the needs of those looking for a strong, lasting hold with an enjoyable application experience.

I’ve been using this clay for about a year now and can’t fault it. I tend to use it on dry hair and it gives my hair a textured, matte finish. Even on damp hair it doesn’t look greasy, which is something I found using other hair products. It gives it a really natural finish.
The hold factor is great, the best I’ve had with clay by far. It will stay more or less the same all day, even in strong winds (although my hair is fairly short). It’s not like concrete though, it’s extremely pliable and you could change your style throughout the day without needing to reapply should you wish.
The smell is subtle and really only noticeable up very close, I like the smell and I’ve had a few people randomly say my hair smells nice – which is always good! Top marks from me and will continue to use.

But now I’ve got women flocking over me. Take a ticket and wait in the queue: Quiff Akabusi is in the house. If you have awful hair that you need to make less terrible when you go out in public, Sebastian is the Ken* to your Barbie.
*Not recommended for bald men.

I’ve got an odd head of hair. Picture a super saiyan hair-do without the awesome glow, texture, or anime charm. I’m prefacing with this to show why my experience may be a fairly individual one.
Anyway, this stuff has got a few good things going for it. It’s on the expensive side. But it’s pleasant scent, re-mouldability and ability to add texture gives a few points for me. It doesn’t have the strongest hold of the clays I’ve tried in the past which means it only allows you to hold hair in a style it is capable of falling into naturally. With a larger amount of clay it may be possible to achieve something more out there, but it’s texturing effect seems to hit a nice balance with minimalist application.
Buy this and it should last you a while.

This is by far the best product I’ve used for my hair, and I’ve stuck with it for nearly 5 years. Slightly more expensive than other products like it, but lasts me around 6 months so the cost is not an issue. If the cost is slightly daunting I’d advise you to splash out to see the difference between standard products from the supermarket and this; you won’t regret it.
The clay holds my hair in place whilst maintaining volume as a consequence of only having to use very little of product with every use. Because it’s oil based you’ll have to wash it out with shampoo but it comes out very easily, unlike other products such as Dax Wax.
