MUK Hard Styling Mud (50g)

As a bloke with very fine hair it was always difficult to find something that would allow something that would allow a lot of control without either making hair look greasy or weighing it down making it clumpy. Having now developed thinning hair as well the clumping or greasiness becomes even more of a problem. I've bounced around an awful lot of products, American Crew (fibre, pomade, clay) which were ok ish when my hair was a little thicker, but moving to clays seemed to work better for me due to the matte finish. I've tried a lot of the clays and putties available on the high street, as well as those from bumble and bumble, as well as a couple of others I couldn't recall. Prior to this, the one that came closets was Kevin Murphy Gritty business which, as far as I'm aware, is definitely not meant to be for fine hair, but using a very small amount worked well. However, it's an absolute pain to wash out of your hair. Muk Hard styling mud on the other hand is a really strong firm hold, with zero shine, that holds well and can be restyled. The smell is pleasant enough (though not as nice as the honey of the Gritty Business), and crucially it seems to wash out very easily. I'd finish by saying I've used this on short hair, and wouldn't be too sure how this product (or any very hard clay) would work on longer hair. If you want a dry finish for longer fine / thin hair try Membrane Gas from Fudge.

Have tried loads of hair products, but the MUK mud is the best. I usually use the gritty (purple) MUK, but took a punt on this one and it's even better. Non-greasy, easy to style, great hold, washes out easily. Love it.

It's a great product. Does as it says on the tin. Very matt, very strong. I removed a star for the price and the fact it's like a brick when trying to warm it in the palms.

Looks natural not greasy. I but with great hold. I I've had loads of people ask me what I use and I've always recommend it. I even my barber has started stocking it.

Always used this for years. Small pea size amount keeps my hair in the style all day.

Been using this on my kids hair as he has really thick hair works perfect for styling!

Wow. The BEST matte product I've ever tried - up until now, my favourite was TIGI Matte Separation Wax, but this is even better. Excellent strong hold with a matte finish, exactly what I was after. The reviews are all true!

Beware this is the 50g tub and they are charging the same as the larger 95g tub knowing that people won’t check this, it’s a no return policy also.

It does not have a high shine just wish it was easier to apply however works well.

This product holds short styles right in place! It’s a bit costly but worth it!

Nachdem ich meinen Friseur und auch die Frisur gewechselt hatte, habe ich das erste Mal Hard MUK verwendet. Vorher hatte ich herkömmliche Produkte aus dem Drogeriemarkt, aber im Laufe des Tages ließ der Halt deutlich nach und die Frisur war "unförmig". Mit Hard MUK ist das ganz anders, und dabei benötige ich deutlich weniger als von den herkömmlichen, bekannten Produkten. Die 50g Dose habe ich im Februar gekauft und jetzt langsam kann ich den Blechboden sehen. 2 Wochen komme ich damit aber locker noch aus. Für mich funktioniert es am Besten, wenn das Haar trocken ist, aber das ist sicher von Haar zu Haar unterschiedlich. Mit Hard MUK kann ich das Haar in die Form bringen, die ich möchte, ohne es zu verkleben oder eine Betonfrisur zu zimmern. Die Haare sind immer noch flexibel und korrigierbar. Probleme mit der Kopfhaut, mit Schuppen oder sonstigem habe ich nicht, ich bin restlos zufrieden.

Is it really necessary for hair pomade to be made in China. And the parts written in french on the container have a spelling mistake in every other word like they could not even copy the instant translation properly. It sure feels like something I won’t risk putting in my hair.

It's holds my hair better than American Crew Fiber, and it costs less. It's a little hard to work with, but the Savage hold is supposed to be easier to work with and has the same hold. I'll try that next. Overall, this is a great product. It holds my hair better than anything except really strong gel, but gel leaves my hair crunchy. I've never written a review for anything on here, but I like this product enough to write one. Definitely try this if you're looking for a super strong hold without the helmet hair effect of gel.
