Perfect Mess Soft Matt Clay
£26.00 50mlA soft matt styling clay, that gives hair a natural dry textured finish, for those "mess it up", perfectly undone styles. Easily reworkable, for modern short hairstyles that want movable hold and lasting structure. Lightweight and buildable – it won’t weigh down fine hair.
*For perfectly undone dos!
"Perfect Mess is the culmination of years of trying to find (and mix my own backstage) the 'perfect' matte clay. Its soft texture easily works into your hands without crumbling and leaving bits in your hair all whilst adding dry texture. You can rework your hair, so restyling on the go is a cinch."
