Description Uppercut Deluxe is a premium men's grooming brand born in Australia and trusted by barbers worldwide. Founded by barber Steve Purcell, the brand draws on classic barbershop heritage and filters it through a modern, no-nonsense lens. Every product in the range is built to perform, whether you're behind the chair or in front of the bathroom mirror.

Uppercut Deluxe Clay is built for hair that doesn't want to cooperate. A strong hold, matte finish clay that grips and shapes effortlessly, with enough strength to defy natural hair movement and tame even the most stubborn or unruly hair -- without ever setting hard. The hybrid formula combines traditional wax elements with modern water-based ingredients for a product that holds firm and stays reworkable throughout the day. The wax elements also bring an anti-humidity complex to the formula, meaning it holds its structure through the gym, a hot commute, or whatever else the day throws at it. Low shine keeps everything looking natural, and it washes out far more easily than most clays on the market.

• Hold: Strong
• Finish: Matte
• Base: Water and Wax Hybrid
• Scent: Woods and Leather
• Best For: Straight, wavy, or curly hair; all lengths; ideal for difficult to control or stubborn hair 

Who's It For

Anyone with hair that fights back. Clay is the product for guys whose hair has a strong natural direction, or who want a modern textured style with genuine hold behind it. The matte finish makes it equally at home in casual everyday looks and sharper, more defined styles. If you've tried pomades and found them either too shiny or not grippy enough, Clay is the natural next step.

How To Use

Apply to dry hair that has been washed with shampoo and conditioner. Take a thumbnail-sized scoop and work into dry palms until evenly spread across both hands. Apply a small amount to the fringe area using fingertips, then work from the back of the head forwards, spreading evenly throughout the hair. Style as desired using fingers or a comb. For stubborn or thick hair, apply a slightly larger amount and build up as needed.

Why MASC Recommends This

Clay is a barbershop staple for good reason, and Uppercut Deluxe's version is one of the best in the category. The hybrid formula solves the two biggest complaints about most clays, that they set too hard and are a pain to wash out. This one does neither. If your hair is the kind that needs something with real authority behind it, this is the one to reach for.
