What Makes Claytime Different

This isn't just another styling clay. Claytime features a Dry Cleansing Complex that actively absorbs excess scalp oil throughout the day, keeping your style fresh and your hair looking clean between washes. Key benefits include:

  • Strong, flexible hold (8/10) that lasts all day without stiffness
  • Ultra-matte finish (2/10 shine) for natural, textured looks
  • Oil-absorbing formula with corn starch to control excess sebum
  • Vegan, gluten-free, and silicone-free formulation
  • Cardamom Spell fragrance for a subtle, sophisticated scent

Who It's Perfect For

Claytime works beautifully on all hair types but truly shines on short hair where texture and definition matter most. It's ideal if you want:

  • Rough, playful textures with a natural finish
  • Strong hold without the glossy, product-heavy look
  • A styling product that helps control oily hair
  • Flexible styling that you can rework throughout the day

Whether you're creating a textured crop, messy quiff, or casual tousled style, Claytime gives you complete control with a modern matte aesthetic that looks like you've made an effort without trying too hard.

How to Use

Application is simple and works best on dry hair. Take a small amount (start with less than you think you need), rub it between your palms until it warms and softens, then work through your hair from roots to tips. Style as desired, adding more product gradually if needed. The clay remains workable, so you can adjust and refine your look throughout the day.

For clients at our Taunton salon, our stylists often recommend Claytime as the perfect finishing touch after a precision cut, especially for those wanting low-maintenance texture between appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Claytime and other matte clays?
Claytime features a unique Dry Cleansing Complex that absorbs excess scalp oil throughout the day, making it particularly effective for oily hair. With an 8/10 hold strength, it's also stronger than many competing clays while maintaining a completely matte 2/10 shine finish.
Does Claytime work on long hair?
While Claytime works on all hair types, it's specifically designed for short hair where texture and definition are most important. On longer hair, you may need more product to achieve the desired hold and texture.
How much product should I use?
Start with a small amount (roughly fingertip size) and add more as needed. The clay is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. You can always add more, but using too much initially can make hair feel heavy or look clumpy.
Can I restyle my hair after applying Claytime?
Yes, Claytime provides flexible, workable hold that you can adjust and rework throughout the day. Simply run slightly damp hands through your hair to reactivate the product and restyle as desired.
Is Claytime suitable for fine or thinning hair?
Absolutely. The lightweight, matte formula won't weigh fine hair down, and the oil-absorbing properties help create volume and texture. The strong hold also helps fine hair maintain body and structure throughout the day.
What does Cardamom Spell fragrance smell like?
Cardamom Spell is a subtle, sophisticated scent with warm, slightly spicy notes. It's noticeable on application but fades to a light, pleasant background fragrance that won't clash with aftershave or perfume.
Do I apply Claytime to wet or dry hair?
Always apply Claytime to dry hair for best results. The formula is designed to work on dry hair, and applying it to wet hair won't give you the hold, texture, or matte finish the product is known for.
Is Claytime vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, Claytime is completely vegan (contains no animal-derived ingredients including the synthetic beeswax) and is also gluten-free and silicone-free. Keune is committed to cruelty-free practices.
How do I wash Claytime out of my hair?
As a clay-based product with petrolatum, Claytime requires thorough rinsing. Use warm water and a good quality shampoo, making sure to massage your scalp well. A double shampoo may be needed if you've used a generous amount.
Will Claytime make my hair look greasy?
No, quite the opposite. The Dry Cleansing Complex and corn starch actively absorb excess oil, making Claytime an excellent choice if you struggle with oily hair or want to extend time between washes while maintaining a fresh, matte appearance.
