It is ideal for men with short styles who engage in sports or tend to perspire heavily. White clay from the Paris Basin naturally heals and stimulates the scalp, making Molding Clay good for men with sensitive skin and scalp.
Forming Cream is an easy-to-use styling cream that helps hair look thicker and is ideal for men who are new to styling jar products. This water-based styling cream provides all-day hold, excellent pliability and a natural shine. Forming Cream uses humectants to provide a moveable hold while conditioning and moisturizing the hair, paired with a holding agent to encourage firmness, body and fullness. Forming Cream can be used liberally for a medium hold and medium shine, shampoos out easily and works well for all hair types.
Grooming Cream is a high-hold, high-shine styling product that provides moisturizing and conditioning properties to the hair. Create a straight, sleek look with Grooming Cream, or soften naturally curly or wavy hair with use. Grooming Cream repels moisture to keep styles intact and works well on all hair lengths.
