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 LeonardVerified Verified Buyer 06/28/2026

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.

EfrenVerified Verified Buyer 06/28/2026

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.
