MFH says
I have really enjoyed using the new clay by UpperCut Deluxe. Slightly waxy in consistency, it easily emulsifies in the hands for smooth and even distribution.
The product adds loads of gritty texture to the hair and although it has a strong hold, it can be reworked with ease during the day. I personally think this will be best suited to guys with shorter to mid-length hair. The matte finish will give the hair a textured, lived-in look.
Compared to the UpperCut Deluxe Matte Clay, the Clay gives a more noticeable amount of texture; and it’s also slightly easier to wash out.
What They Say
This delicate balance of wax and water-based ingredients allows the product to hold firm, without setting hard meaning the product remains reworkable throughout the day.
These wax elements also bring an anti-humidity complex to the formula allowing the product to maintain it’s structure when exposed to low levels of heat– be it in the gym or even just a hot day.
Clay creates a low shine finish through a combination of ingredients that gently disrupt the cuticle layer of the hair. This disruption means that light is absorbed, rather than reflected create a matte finish effect.

A solid rating from you. Thanks for sharing, Artem.
I bought this with high expectations. I was pretty disappointed at first. My hair was about 8″long, thick and wavy. Its easy to break down and apply but i found as it settles in my hair it went crispy after an hour and by three hours in, Tangley.
It finished the day well enough.
Then I got my haircut and tried it again and loved it.
Nice jar but I’m not wild about the scent. Its subtle and I didn’t notice it after a while so that’s good enough for me.
If you’ve shorter hair, this will give you strong hold for 10+ hrs
