6. Moroccanoil Texture Clay 

Best for Thick Hair

Most of the hair clays on this list are fine to use on all hair types and thickness levels, but some of the best hair clays are made specifically for thick hair. Moroccanoil Texture Clay is at the top of the list, and we recommend this brand if you have particularly thick hair. Sometimes when you have uber-thick heaps of hair you can have a rough time keeping it slicked back and the frizz in check, but luckily this hair clay will not let you down.

7. Pete & Pedro Clay

Just like with thick hair, sometimes those of us with particularly thin or thinning hair need something a little more specialized. Enter Pete & Pedro Clay with the solution, time to kiss those problems goodbye. You’ll get the same natural, textured look like men with the thickest heads of hair, AND it will look just as full with added volume.

9. Paul Mitchell MITCH Matterial Styling Clay

Best for Long Hair

Paul Mitchell’s creation in the hair clay scene is still one of the best you get your hands on. It very nearly edged out the Layrite Deluxe for best hair clay for men on our list. It provides one of the firmest holds on the list, so it’s perfect for long hair that’s hard to keep tame. This clay is paraben-free, gluten-free, and full of frizz-fighting nutrients that many hair clays for men are lacking. On top of all that, the universally loved scents of lemon and aloe are perfect to take to the office or the bar. What’s not to love?
