How to Pick Between Clay, Pomade & Cream

How to Pick Between Clay, Pomade & Cream

So, you’re staring at three tubs.
They all look good.
They all promise “hold” and “texture.”
But which one actually suits your hair — and your style?

Here’s the breakdown 👇

Grooming Clay

Matte finish. Strong hold. Big volume.

Go for this if:

  • You want a messy, textured, “I just woke up like this” kind of look.

  • You’ve got short to medium hair.

  • You like control without the shine.

Clay gives your hair grip and structure without making it look like there’s product in it. It’s also reworkable — so you can restyle on the go.

Perfect for: modern quiff, choppy fringe, or natural volume.

Deluxe Pomade

Sleek finish. Medium hold. Classic vibes.

Go for this if:

  • You want something a bit more polished.

  • You’re into slick-backs, side parts, or retro styles.

  • You like a bit of shine, without looking greasy.

Pomade smooths everything down and keeps it there. It’s ideal for styles that need definition and hold, but not stiffness.

Perfect for: slick-back, side part, or clean professional looks.

Moulding Cream

Low shine. Flexible hold. Effortless style.

Go for this if:

  • You like a more laid-back, natural look.

  • You want some shape, but nothing stiff or sticky.

  • You don’t want your hair to look styled.

Cream is your low-effort, high-payoff product. It’s light, it’s smooth, and it gives you just enough hold to keep things looking sharp.

Perfect for: natural waves, textured crops, and relaxed flow.
