Osmo Extreme Matte Clay Hair Wax Strong Hold Texture Wax for Hair Styling 100 ml

Let's get one thing straight: before Osmo Extreme Matte Clay Hair Wax and I crossed paths, my hair's relationship with styling products was like a sitcom - full of misunderstandings, bad timing, and the occasional tragedy. Then, Osmo entered stage left, and oh, what a season finale twist it was!Imagine, if you will, a hair wax that smells faintly of strawberries - not the overpowering "I've bathed in fruit salad" vibe, but more of a "whiff of summer in a British garden" sophistication. That's Osmo for you. It's the kind of scent that subtly announces, "I have arrived, and yes, I do have impeccable taste in haircare," as you breeze past admirers.Now, let's talk texture and application. With short hair, Osmo is like the best friend you never knew you needed. It slides into your life (and hair) with ease, offering just the right amount of hold and matte magic to transform your bedhead into a work of art. Think less "I woke up like this" and more "I woke up and then made a minimal effort to look this effortlessly chic."However, a word to the wise for my medium-length-haired comrades: this clay is the Usain Bolt of hair products. It sets faster than you can say "stylish yet approachable," leaving little room for error or indecision. If you're not quick on the draw, you might find yourself sporting a look that says "I tried to sculpt my hair, but it sculpted me instead."But fear not! For those with shorter crops, Osmo Extreme Matte Clay is like wielding the Excalibur of hair styling. It empowers you to achieve that elusive balance between looking put-together and "I don't try too hard" cool. And for those moments when it sets too quickly? Well, that's just Osmo's way of keeping you on your toes, reminding you that in the world of hair styling, timing is everything.Five stars for Osmo, the strawberry-scented, matte-finish maestro of my bathroom cabinet. It's not just a hair wax; it's a lifestyle choice for those daring to tread the fine line between wild bedhead and sculpted masterpiece.

Great product, quick service

I like using this Osmo matt clay, although it does have limitations. I have what I would describe as medium-length hair for a 40-year-old man - that is to say that it sits tidily just above my ears, feathered neatly to about half an inch above a shirt collar on the back, and with a bit more length on top where I can add a bit of texture. I have my hair cut approximately every 5-8 weeks (so not as frequently as some), and that's where I see this product's limitation. It works brilliantly for the first few weeks, but as the hair grows into say week 6+, the hair on top is just a bit too heavy for Osmo to deal effectively with. So, for the last week or two before revisiting my hairdresser, I revert to a different, stronger, but less nice product. When my hair is no more than medium length and weight, the Osmo feels really light, is the best matt finish of any products I've tried before (quite a lot!), and smells really good. A little goes a long way and I find hair styling is executed quickly and reliably, making this an ideal 'daily' product. Using a small amount also means not having to buy new tubs every few weeks, which is a positive. Do be warned, though; the product sets off (dries) probably within 20 seconds of rubbing it into your fingers, so work quickly for maximum reward!In summary: smells great, a little goes a long way, dries quickly in the hand (so work quickly). Works best on short to medium hair - will struggle on longer or heavier hair.

great long lasting product, i purchased 2and they last forever. my 6 year old son absolutely loves using it too and an added bonus is it smells lovely too

Lovely smell and good to use! I read the reviews hence the purchase, I'm very happy I did! Well recommended!

Product works well enough. Finish is a little shinier than matte. But the smell is overpowering. Smells like a Strawberry Shortcake doll's perfume and a lot of it. Hours after applying I could still smell it every time I went from sitting to standing.

I normally use the popular Amazon product by Gents of London - clay. I decided to try this for a change and I’m glad I did!This product is great, a different look/feel to my normal product but I like the results. Maybe less of a matte finish overall but the hold is great and I wouldn’t say there’s any great shine to it when applied. Adds great texture to my hair.Very small amount needed to work into hair, this tub will last the average user a long time.Will be purchasing again.

This hair wax is perfect for creating textured styles with a strong hold that lasts all day. The matte finish gives a natural look, and it’s easy to apply without leaving residue. Great for short to medium-length hair
