Shear Revival American Gardens Clay Pomade

I thought I would try this after running out of my normal Cub & Co Clay. Reading so many great reviews, I thought, why not?
Wow, this clay is terrible. Horrible texture, and in NO way a strong hold.
Back to Cub & Co. I go

Excellent 😊

I have straight fine hair and most products make my hair fall flat or don't last all day because it eventually weighs down my hair. I typically go for clays or matte paste that have kaolin and/or Bentonite in them. Northern Lights was really good, but it was more of a loose relaxed look and my hair would eventually fall as the day progressed. American Gardens has an amazing hold that can really shape and style my hair to how I like it. My hair isn't long nor short, my front pieces of hair go a bit passed my eyes so that gives you perspective of how long it is. Applying was easy, but you definitely need some finesse and experience with clays so you don't pull out your hair. I have read reviews of people saying it was not easy to work with, but I disagree and think it is a really easy/beginner clay to work with but it is all on how you apply it and you will probably need to practice different techniques. Another bonus is that it is not drying even though it is a clay; as a matter of fact it is hydrating as the day progresses and makes my hair feel nice. I have had clays that feel like cement on my head, but I love how American Gardens makes my hair feel natural when I run through it. The scent is good, but not overbearing. I am into collecting fragrances and I appreciate the smell and how it does not interfere with what I am wearing. Overall, I think this is the best Shear Revival product for medium length straight fine hair and it is my favorite from the brand. 10/10

I see a lot of negative reviews here that all say mostly the same thing about it being extremely hard.
This is true..at first. The further down into the jar you go, the easier it gets. I'm assuming this is because of the way the product cures after being poured.
The bad thing about that is the product is very inconsistent the more you use. The top half of the jar is very dry with a high hold. The bottom half of the jar it more oily with slightly less hold.
Overall I love this product and will continue to buy more. Just wish it was more consistent.

I love the American Gardens Clay Pomade. Excellent scent. For a clay, really good hold, not overbearing.
