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.
NEW NATURAL PINEWOOD DEODORANT
“Natural Deodorant” has become a bit of a buzzword as of late, but a lot of companies are less than honest with what they mean by it. We wanted to take a minute or two and talk about the importance of “Natural” and what it really means to us, along with letting you know what you can expect from HWG and all of our products.
Let’s start off with the word “natural”. At first it sounds great, but upon closer inspection it can be used in misleading ways. We want to think that if a product says “natural”, that it will be good for us, but the FDA doesn’t have any defined standards for ingredients or labeling when using the word natural in cosmetics. What this means is that brands will include skin irritating, non-natural ingredients like Baking Soda in their deodorant and still claim to be a natural product that is good for you. That doesn’t fly with us, and we think you deserve honest products that mean what they say.
Our commitment to natural products is all the way through, using only naturally derived ingredients and plant based active ingredients to help soothe and heal skin. It’s why we use Aloe Vera, Radish Root, and Vitamin E in our Natural Pinewood Deodorant to keep your underarms at their best health. It’s also why every single one of our products are exclusively made with natural ingredients, and why every product we make also has key active ingredients to promote your skin health. You can read more about all of these on our Ingredients page, here.
Using these powerful active ingredients is a key part of our mission to give you all natural products that flat out perform. This pursuit is what drove us to develop our Natural Pinewood Deodorant so that you can leave harmful drug store deodorants and their side effects behind. No more Aluminum unnaturally clogging your pores, no more Baking Soda irritating and overly drying your skin, and no more Parabens and cheap chemicals fighting against your skin and affecting it’s health. It’s time for a premium grown up scent and all day effective odor control, natural ingredients that help soothe and heal your skin, and a natural deodorant that you know is fighting for your health, not against it.
We hope you enjoy and give it a try.
Cheers,
HWG
