About Men's Hair Clays, Pastes & Putty
Hair Putty, Clay or Paste?
Hair putty, clay and paste all add control, but the finish differs. Putty gives workable definition and can suit textured short styles. Clay is usually the drier choice for separation and a matte finish. Paste offers flexible shaping and is useful when you want movement without a slick appearance.
Choose by Hold and Finish
Start with the finish you want. For firm definition, compare Captain Fawcett Putty Pomade and Tenax Clay Pomade. For a natural matte style, Morgan's Matt Paste and D.R. Harris Define Hair Clay give useful alternatives. Check each product page for its stated hold and finish.
How to Apply Hair Putty and Clay
Warm a small amount between the palms, work it through dry or lightly damp hair, then shape with the fingers or a comb. Begin with less than you think you need and build gradually. Applying to dry hair usually emphasises texture; lightly damp hair can make distribution easier.
Compare Other Styling Finishes
For a neater style with more polish, compare men's hair pomades. For softer control, browse hair creams and waxes, or view the full men's hair styling range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hair putty used for?
Hair putty is used to add definition, texture and workable hold. It is especially useful for short to medium styles that need shape without the high shine associated with some pomades.
What is the difference between hair putty and clay?
Putty generally gives workable definition, while clay is usually selected for a drier, more textured finish. Formulas vary, so compare the hold and finish stated on each product page.
Is hair clay good for a matte finish?
Yes. Hair clay is commonly chosen for separation, texture and a matte or natural-looking finish. Use a small amount first to avoid weighing the hair down.
Should I apply hair paste to wet or dry hair?
Use dry hair when you want more visible texture and definition. Lightly damp hair can make paste easier to distribute and may produce a smoother finish. Follow the directions for the individual product.
Should I choose paste or pomade?
Choose paste for flexible texture and a natural finish. Choose pomade for neater combed styles, stronger structure or more shine.
Let customers speak for us
Great small case to hold a 34C and a few blades . Brought it to protect my limited edition leather case from 1896 inox set .
Love my 34c and decide I needed the metallic grey option in my collection. Product is perfect and the service was great keeping me informed of delivery.
Absolutely stunning razor in titanium. I chose the mild plate and it gives a wonderfully smooth shave.
Great travel razor , slightly more aggressive than Merkur 933 , also case is larger but does seem like a better quality case than the Merkur .
This razor is designed for travel, but I've added it to my daily rotation.
This is because, in addition to a level of craftsmanship that makes you want to gaze at it every day, it delivers the superb shaving performance you expect.
Although it is not a designated stand for this razor, the 4011 Stand fit perfectly.
Great customer service. The brush I initially selected wasn’t available and the team helped me to choose a perfect replacement and ensured I received it on time. Very good customer service and great selection of high end shaving products. Great place for finding gifts for men.
The best DE razor I've owned. Smooth, and adjustable from very mild upward I don't experience razor burn or nicks with this one. Excellent quick delivery too.
These blades have become my favourite quickly. They are much smoother than feather blades. They retain their sharpness for a long time while remaining very gentle to the skin.
Snapped post on cap , ordered this and a new top plate with the retaining clips and returned razor to new ! It will serve me for many more years .
Love this razor. Adjustability is very straight forward and a useful feature
This is the first time I have used a safety razor and this is amazing, far better than the cartridge razors I'm used to
Great company with a wide range of products at good prices. Quick delivery too.
Highly recommended.
If wet shaving has a lie detector, it’s the Osma Laboratories Pierre d’Alun.
