Based Bodyworks Hair Clay

A strong-hold, matte-finish styling clay designed to add instant volume, texture, and separation. Formulated with kaolin and bentonite clays, beeswax, and shea butter, it delivers all-day control without greasiness or stiffness, keeping hair looking natural and touchable.

Why you’ll love it

• Strong, flexible hold: Beeswax and clays provide structure and grip that last all day but remain reworkable.

• Natural matte finish: Absorbs excess oil and eliminates shine for a clean, “no-product” look.

• Adds volume and texture: Lifts roots and creates separation for fuller-looking hair with defined movement.

• Conditions while styling: Shea butter and vitamin E nourish hair and scalp, preventing dryness and brittleness.

Key ingredients

• Kaolin Clay: Creates a matte texture with natural grip for ultimate styling control and hold.

• Bentonite Clay: Boosts volume while drawing out excess oil, dirt, and product buildup from hair and scalp.

• Beeswax: Delivers lasting structure with a strong, flexible hold that stays all day without hardening.

• Shea Butter: Softens and conditions both hair and scalp without adding shine or greasiness.

• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Antioxidant that helps protect hair from environmental damage and supports overall hair health.

How to use

1. Scoop a small amount (pea- to dime-sized, depending on hair length and thickness) from the jar.

2. Rub between your palms to warm and emulsify the clay.

3. Apply evenly through dry or slightly damp hair, starting at the roots and working through to the ends.

4. Style with your fingers or a comb, shaping and texturising as desired.

5. Re-work throughout the day if needed; the formula remains pliable and does not harden.

Ideal for short to medium-length hair (especially medium to thick, straight or wavy hair) that needs strong hold, matte finish, and added volume and texture.

Size: Typically sold in approx. 60–90 g (2–3 oz) jars, depending on the specific listing/region.
Hair type: Best for medium to thick, straight or wavy hair; also works well for anyone wanting strong hold with a natural matte finish.
