HOW TO USE OUR CURLING SEA CLAY

  1. FOR A CLEAN, HIGH-HOLD LOOK  Rub a small amount between fingers & comb through hair to lock in place. Push back or side-part to finish.
  2. FOR A SURFER MIDDLE PART Work clay through hair & part down the middle. Scrunch to add volume & wave to those surfer curtains!
  3. FOR THE FLUFFY LOOK Run clay through your hair & scrunch forward. Keep scrunching to build volume up top. Tousle & shape for ultimate fluff.

    Clay of the Gods

    Ever wanted your curls to hold their shape all day without shellacking your head with that nasty hairspray hiding in your mom’s bathroom cabinet?

    Maybe you’re going for that “I just rolled out of bed looking this good” look—the one your woman somehow loves—even though you definitely spent 20 minutes getting your hair right.

    Well, gentlemen, this clay is for you.

    Strong enough to keep those curls in check, flexible enough to keep them looking natural, and best of all, it actually smells good. No toxic-chemical cloud. No smelling like you just fumigated the bathroom.

    Just good hair, all day. Like you woke up looking this good on purpose

    Great For Dense, Flat Hair

    I have thicker, more dense 1A hair. The clay has a great hold that I have not had luck with pomade or gel achieving, my hair feels thicker and is still able to mold without sticky residue if applied to damp hair. I can get a textured, even wavy look without the sea salt spray if I choose. A lot of other products, even waxes, have flattened throughout the day for me but I really enjoy the look and hold of the Merman Clay.

    I’ve been searching my whole life

    I’ve always had fine, pin straight hair and wanted volume and curls for as long as I can remember. No product has ever given me actual curls and satisfying volume that lasts until this. I also love that the ingredients are simple and natural. THANK YOU, Merman. Customer for life.

    The best curling clay

    It’s the best hair product I’ve found. I’ve got annoying straight hair and a cows lick and it actually allows me to style it and add some texture
