Johnny Slicks Formula 49 Clay Pomade — 2 oz Original | Firm Hold, Matte Finish & Scalp Hydration

Johnny Slicks Formula 49 Clay All Organic Pomade is a 2-ounce, firm-hold, matte-finish styling clay made from organic ingredients to style hair while supporting scalp hydration and natural-looking texture.

This compact, veteran-owned grooming product blends bentonite clay, beeswax, coconut and castor oils to deliver a strong, adaptable hold without a greasy sheen. Crafted in North Carolina, the Original scent mixes warm woods and coffee notes for a masculine aroma. The texture is designed to work across straight, thick, and curly hair, giving control and matte definition whether you use a comb or your fingers.

How does this pomade shape hair without leaving shine?

Formula 49 relies on bentonite clay and beeswax to lock hair in place while absorbing excess oil for a flat, textured look. The result is firm hold with a dry finish rather than glossy residue, so styles read natural and defined.

• Bentonite clay for oil absorption and texture
• Beeswax for structure and long-lasting hold
• Matte finish suitable for modern, low-shine styles
• Works with comb or fingers for varied styling

Will this product irritate sensitive scalps or dry hair?

Johnny Slicks uses plant-based oils and bentonite clay that can help soothe and hydrate dry skin on the scalp, while avoiding heavy petroleum-based ingredients. Still, patch testing is recommended for sensitive skin or allergy concerns because the formula contains fragrance and natural extracts.

• Coconut and castor oils to help moisturize the scalp
• Bentonite clay to assist with gentle cleansing and oil balance
• Body-safe fragrance, but test if you have sensitivities
• Made with natural, USA-sourced components

How do I apply it for best results on different hair types?

Warm a small amount between your palms and distribute evenly through dry hair, then shape with a comb or fingers. Use more for thicker or longer hair; start light for fine hair to avoid stiffness. The product is formulated to adapt to straight, wavy, thick, and curly hair.

• Rub a pea-to-nickel sized amount between palms
• Apply to dry hair for stronger, matte texture
• Comb for structured looks, fingers for messy texture
• Add small increments until desired hold is reached
