I'm so glad I discovered this clay product by complete accident. I have medium to thick hair that I keep fairly short and had been using pomades to help tamp down the chia pet frizz my hair likes to do. Pomades did control but were so heavy and greasy. I was afraid of my head touching anything for fear of leaving a stain.
Anyhow, this clay product is just great! Took a while to learn how to break it down between you palms first with just the right amount and then run it through your hair. Hold is a perfect medium that you can actually run your hands thru once dry without needing to wash your hands afterwards.
It may be marketing hype, but it does seem that Moroccan clay is actually making my hair healthier. Just feels better and so much more manageable. Other great benefit; washes out cleanly. Squeaky clean in one wash. The other pomades I tried took 3 or 4 washes sometimes to clean out.
While it may be more expensive than off the shelf brands, it seems to last longer since I'm using less for the same level of hold. YMMV
Probably the best deodorant I've ever used. Many of the standard deodorants I've used have left me feeling pain or just a weird tightness in my armpits after prolonged use. Not this brand. I can use daily/multiple times per day and I have no issue. Also, it doesn't mess with my shirts. Thus far I've yet to notice any dark marks or sweat stains on my armpits when I use this deodorant. Highly recommend 10/10
I stumbled across HWG by accident. There are so many gels, clays, fibers out there but this is the one that holds my hair the best. I tried 3 other brands during the short while HWG wasn't available, and I'm glad they are back (and I'm glad Amazon has a great return policy). Many others were just too greasy. This is not. It's perfect
When I found the Clay I thought I had finally found what I was looking for. Great hold, natural materials, affordable. There’s something different about this most recent (July 2025) clay from prior orders. The texture is different, it doesn’t hold the same as before. Very disappointing. I may stick with it for a little longer, but will be back on the search for an alternative.
Certainly my “go to” for hair care. All of these products here are good- but this paste is GREAT. Not chunky. Very smooth and easy. I have recommended this to many others- no disappointments.
By the way- trust this company. Great customer support. Jenn Ryan is the best.

What is Shea Butter?
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) is a natural fat extracted from the nuts of the Shea Tree. The nuts are harvested, processed and crushed to extract the butter which is then refined to ensure it is the highest quality.
It has been used for centuries in Africa for its moisturizing, healing, and protective properties. It is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, E, and F, and various antioxidants that promote overall hair and skin health.
Vitamin A & E
Vitamin A and E are naturally occurring in Shea Butter and are beneficial in numerous ways. Both are powerful antioxidants that help to regenerate and hydrate your skin. They also work as an anti-inflammatory to soothe your scalp, add shine and reduce frizz.
Why is Shea Butter beneficial to use?
Powerful Moisturizer: Shea Butter is a powerful moisturizer that nourishes and hydrates both hair and skin. It forms a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and leaving hair and skin soft and revitalized.
