A Comprehensive Guide to Using Hair Clay (and Rocking Kami Clay): "Mastering the Mane"
You can define and sculpt your hairstyle in a myriad of ways with hair clay. But it could seem like a daunting process if you're not familiar with the clay game. Do not panic! With a focus on maximizing Kami Clay's benefits for Asian hair types, this guide will help you use hair clay like a pro.
Setting the Scene to Prepare for Clay Time
For best results, take into account these preparatory steps before working with the clay itself:
- Wash Day or Next-Day Hair? Hair clay is effective on wet or dry hair. Apply to damp hair that has been towel-dried to about 80% dryness for a more defined texture and stronger hold. Clay can be applied to dry hair for a more relaxed, organic look.
- Tame the Beast (Optional): To make your thick or unmanageable hair more manageable, use a pre-styler such a light styling cream or leave-in conditioner.
Clay Showtime: Applying for Style & Hold
Let's get down to business with clay now! For best results, use hair clay as follows:
- Start Small: Keep in mind that with hair clay, little is more. Scoop out a pea-sized portion of the mixture from the container, adjusting for thickness and length of hair.
- Warm it Up: To distribute the clay evenly and facilitate application, rub it between your palms. Applying clay more smoothly is made possible by warming it, which activates its qualities.
- Work it In: Start at the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots as you apply the clay. Avoid applying straight to the scalp, since this can lead to build-up, and concentrate on certain areas.
- For Textured Styles: To add texture and definition, pinch and twist portions of hair with your fingers.
- For Sleeker Styles: To give your hair a more put together appearance, comb the clay through it.
Expert Advice: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Use a mirror to make sure the application is uniform and to make sure no areas are missed during the process.
