Texture & Application of Kevin Murphy rough rider

The Kevin Murphy Rough Rider has a dry mud-like texture but slightly smoother. It does harden especially when exposed to air for a long time without applying on hair. Hence, it is important to rub the clay on your hand before applying. This product is quite heavy, unlike the Arcadian Clay Pomade. Thus, it’s only specific created for thick hair.

When apply on dry or damp hair, it is quite an easy process. Just grab a small portion (5 cent coin size) on the finger and rub between palms, and style on hair. Your hair might feel dry and slightly sandy but the hold is magnificent.

None – Matte, similar to Morris Motley’s Treatment Styling Balm
