1.8oz and 3.4oz tin lasts an average of 3-6 months of daily use before you run out!

Poured in tin-plated steel cans with natural cork liners. NO aluminum. NO plastic. NO foam.

Grit Matte Clay was made for textured, messy, matte hair that still feels healthy and touchable. It is 100% oil-based with naturally derived and mineral based ingredients!

Most matte products leave the hair dry, stiff, chalky, or loaded with cheap synthetic junk that makes your hair feel dead by the end of the day. Grit was built to give texture, separation, and hold without destroying the feel of your hair. 

Even after styling, you can manipulate the hair throughout the day.  Your hair will remain touchable so you don't have to worry about pulling away from your partner touching your hair. 

This matte paste works especially well for finer hair, straight hair, medium density hair, messy styles, beach texture, cropped cuts, and natural movement with a rougher more broken in finish.

Made with ingredients like bentonite clay, kaolin clay, arrowroot powder, and mineral based spherical silica to help create texture, volume, grit, and a true matte finish without the heavy greasy feel. Mango butter, olive squalane, and lanolin help keep the hair from feeling brittle or overly dry like most matte products on the market. Beeswax helps give your style structure and hold. 

The result is strong texture with a softer natural feel that can still be reworked throughout the day.

Scented with real essential oils including blood orange, clove, frankincense, chamomile, thyme, cinnamon bark, tea tree, and lemongrass.

Perfect for:
• Messy textured styles
• Matte finish without dryness
• Fine or flat hair needing volume
• Beachy natural movement
• Piecey separation and grit
• Short to medium length hairstyles

What it feels like:
• Medium to strong hold
• Dry natural matte finish
• Thick textured feel
• Reworkable throughout the day
• No crunchy helmet hair feel

No fillers. No diluting. Zero comprimise. Just ingredients that actually perform when your hair needs to look good in the real world!

Storage & care

Everything in the tin is a natural oil, butter or wax, so it behaves like one. It can soften in a hot mailbox or car, and when it cools it may turn a little grainy or show a pale layer on top. That's normal and the product is fine.

To reset it, pop the lid and set the tin somewhere warm (a sunny window, or 30 seconds in a cup of hot water) until it melts, then let it cool with the lid on. Because this is how natural butters work, I can't accept returns for graininess or bloom.

How to use it
How to use it

All the way through. Not just on top.

1. Take a small amount and rub it into your palms really well.

2. Work it into damp or dry hair, all the way through, not just on top.

3. Push it, piece it, style it. Rework it with dry hands any time.

Before you buy

Good questions.

How much do I use?

Less than you think. Start with a pea-sized amount, rub it between your palms until it melts, then work it through. You can always add more.

How long does a tin last?

A 1.8 oz tin lasts most people 3–6 months of daily use. The 3.4 oz lasts about twice that.

Does it wash out?

Yes, with one regular shampoo. It'll hang on through a water rinse or two without feeling gross, which is kind of the point.

My tin looks grainy or has a white layer. Is it bad?

No. Natural butters do that after a hot truck or a cold mailbox. Set the open tin somewhere warm (a sunny window, or 30 seconds in a cup of hot water) until it melts, let it cool with the lid on, and it's good as new.
