Cream-like Clay that delivers

Fantastic performance from the Forte series again. This clay is notably smoother to scoop and apply than the OG texture clay, but still offers great texture, matte finish and a high hold. It lasts at least 8 hours on a single scoop.

Devin Leonard

Awesome product

My hair type is essentially fine and straight. I have a crew cut at the moment. The Chrome Clay actually works extremely well. It holds my style in place pretty much all day. I don't use a lot of it. I am in Albuquerque NM, so it is really hot — the product is working well and not really being affected by the heat.

Excellent clay

Feels super buttery, not hard like the texture clay. Not super difficult to remove with water, unlike the texture clay. Excellent hold all day.

Ask us anything

The questions men ask most before switching shampoos.

Will it get clay and pomade out of my hair?

How do I use it?

Wet your hair thoroughly (cold water is recommended), lather a quarter-sized amount in your palms, work it into the roots while massaging your scalp, then rinse out thoroughly. For best results, follow with the Forte Series Hydrating Conditioner.

What does it smell like?

Fresh peppermint. The peppermint oil also leaves a refreshing, cooling sensation on your scalp after you rinse.

What's in it?

Natural-based ingredients like apple cider vinegar, aloe vera, peppermint oil and shea butter, plus hydrolyzed rice protein and castor oil. The full ingredient list is in the Ingredients tab.
