Formidable

When you touch this clay, it seems like a soft gentle paste like product. That is deceiving. This clay has monster hold. Lasts over 24 hours.
Comes out of hair with a simple wash. Won't ever use any other hair product again.

This product works wonderfully in my hair. I have thick curly hair. I have grown my hair to about 4-5 inches. I ordered the sample pack from helium and out of all the products ,I think the formidable worked the best (Not to say that the other products are not as good, but for my hair this was the best).

I really like the smell of this product and the matte finish it gives is really good. Hold is pretty good too. It holds through the entire day without too much problem. Plus, as mentioned by helium, this product also protects your hair from the sun's UV rays which is great additional benefit to have.

The only negative I would say is that I wish the product had a 50ML version too. The 1695 is a little bit on the higher side to spend. Although, they give you 100ML of the product for that price which will easily run for 4-5 months I feel but a smaller jar would have been great because the price would be less than 1000.

The product is really really hard to take out of the container and emulsify , it felt a little rough when I applied the product as there was a lot of tugging and I pulled out a couple of strands of my hair , maybe like 15-20. The hold is terrific , even the wind doesn't blow my hairstyle out of place but its quite difficult to restyle once the hold hardens , the finish of the product is a little bit shiny rather than being completely matte . The thing that I hated the most was the smell. And no , we do need a blow dryer to get a voluminous quiff as the volume is quite average.What I loved the most is that the hair clay is water soluble ! The product washes off easily and there's little to no product build up.

It is a very good product. The price might seem a little too high but you are getting 100 ml is enough for 4-5 months of use because of it being a clay. For clays, a little product always goes a long way into giving you what is advertised.

The smell is decent. It is a little artificial but doesn't smell to chemically.

It is hard and is a little difficult to take out of the can. It feels rough and warm while rubbing in the hands but is surprisingly easy to get through the hair. Your hands just glide through - no tugging or pulling. It also gives you a long window to style your hair aka doesn't dries up quickly which is always a good thing. Just make sure you style your hair 20 minutes prior to heading outside as it takes a while to dry.

Hold is on point. Once it dries in 20-30 minutes, the look you get is matte and it remains that way for a long long time. Of course wind will blow it out of place, but you can reshape it easily. All through this, you will not see any kind of roughness or stickiness. This product does not contain Alcohol which makes the hold provided really commendable.

Washing it off is a breeze. I instantly knew this when I washed my hands after applying the product. It just goes away without any trouble and leaves your hair with a little bit of added shine. They just feel healthier!

I really can say that about the volume. They say it provides a lot of volume, but I found the volume to be average. You need a vented brush and a blow drier for that quiff to be perfect. If your hair is thinner (or styled to be thinner on top) then you might get that advertised volume.

This is an amazing product. Keeps the hair firm without any shine for the entire day. Happy with the product
