KEVIN.MURPHY ROUGH.RIDER Clay - Hair Strengthening - For All Hair Types - Moldable Styling Clay - Sulphate Free Care - 30 g / 1.1 oz

I’ve tried a lot of hair products over the years, and Kevin Murphy Rough Rider is easily one of the best. The hold is incredibly strong without making your hair feel stiff or crunchy—it keeps everything in place all day but still looks natural. The matte finish is perfect if you don’t want that greasy or shiny look, especially for styles like a textured quiff or messy top. What really stands out is the texture it adds. My hair instantly looks thicker and more defined, and it’s super easy to work with once you warm it up in your hands. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts a while too.

I had been using Da Wax for a while, which is interestingly not on Amazon anymore. Good riddance. The quality went downhill quickly, so I looked for a replacement. This stuff is awesome. Smells like you're spiking your hair up with a glazed donut. My girlfriend loves it. She can play with my hair without her hands getting coated in product. It looks natural with no shine, smells good, and lasts perpetually. And I mean perpetually. You REALLY need to wash your hair thoroughly to get this stuff out. 5 stars all day.

Bom dot com. Works great. Good hold. Excellent texture. Love the smell! A b**** to get out...the seceret... aussie 3 minute miracle moist conditioner. Leave in for 15 minutes then wash out. Works wayyyyyy better than any super expensive clarifying shampooo trust me ive tried them. Thank me later...send a christmas present or somethin. Yakima WA general delivery. Thanks lol

I switched over from Kevin Murphy Free Hold to this product. I was looking for stronger hold and a more natural matte shine. This product delivers both. It easily allows me to achieve the style I am looking for. Out of the jar this product is very hard and needs to be warmed up in your hands to be moldable before application. A little goes a long way, you can always apply more, so I anticipate this lasting a long time. The scent is subtle and pleasant, less than other Kevin Murphy hair pomades. This holds my hair all day, allows for readjustment, and keeps my hair feeling healthy. The reason for 4/5 is the washability. Although this product doesn't appear greasy in your hair it definitely feels like it. You will absolutely need to shampoo your hair after using this product. A water rinse will not even phase it. So if you're someone who doesn't like to shampoo daily, this product might not be for you.

I started buying Kevin Murphy Roughrider for my husband years ago from the salon where I got my hair done. I loved the Kevin Murphy products they used on me so I figured he would like this. And I was right. Then along comes Covid n the salon was shut down. It has since reopened, but during that time, he was running low on this product. I checked Amazon n they had it so I bought it n have continued to purchase it from Amazon ever since bc the price was less than the salon price. The great thing about this product is that a little product goes a long way. Yes, it’s pricey ( for our pocket book) but it lasts a good six months even with daily usage. No flaking, it doesn’t make ur hair look greasy n he can style his hair for whatever life throws at him. It’s a great product that works using minimal effort. I just asked him if he would recommend it to anyone else n he said without hesitation, absolutely!

It’s a bit greasier than I expected based off the description and the reviews. My prior clay had zero greasiness and better hold for being a light hold. More shine to it than expected as well. I used a very small amount. Not something I will try again, for the price per oz its not great.

Excellent quality. I’m very happy with it.

While the hold and smell are great, the formula can be a total pain to work with. It is a very heavy, waxy clay, and if you use even a tiny bit too much, your hair goes from styled to looking greasy almost instantly. I also noticed that the diatomaceous earth they use for the matte finish can make my hair feel weirdly frizzy and full of static if I apply it to dry hair. The only way I can get it to look right is by applying it to damp hair, which helps it spread and settles the frizz. The upside is that it is a really high-end product with natural ingredients and a scent that is actually subtle and masculine instead of smelling like a chemistry lab. When you nail the application, the texture is exactly what you want for a messy, strong-hold look. It feels premium in your hands and the packaging is cool, but for the price, I expected it to be a bit more user-friendly. My biggest gripe is the washout. It is incredibly stubborn and usually takes two rounds of shampoo to get it all out of my hair. If you don't mind the extra effort in the shower and you're willing to experiment with applying it while your hair is still wet, it's a solid clay.
