Clay styling products earn their matte finish from the actual clay — in this case, kaolin. Kaolin absorbs excess oil and creates grip at the same time, which is why Evo Cassius delivers a natural matte texture rather than a dull or powdery one. Beeswax builds the hold on top of that, keeping it strong but reworkable all day.

So you get unshakeable control without stiffness, and you can reshape throughout the day without flaking or residue. Works best on thick, coarse hair but suitable for all types.

Key Benefits and Features
  • Strong Malleable Hold — all-day control without stiffness or crunch
  • Matte Finish — refined, natural shine-free texture
  • Raw Texture — adds volume and definition to textured styles
  • Reworkable — beeswax allows easy restyling throughout the day without flaking
  • Easy Wash-Out — rinses clean with shampoo
Who It's For

Works best on thick, coarse hair types needing raw texture and strong malleable hold. Suitable for all hair types — use a small amount for fine hair, more for thick or coarse. For extra-strong hold see Evo Box O' Bollox.

Key Ingredients
  • Kaolin — clay that provides grip and ultimate style support with a matte finish
  • Cera Alba (Beeswax) — creates strong yet flexible hold for easy reworking
  • Diatomaceous Earth — natural texturiser that contributes to the matte finish
  • Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax) — structure and hold support
How to Use
  1. Start with a small amount on dry or slightly damp hair
  2. Warm between palms until evenly distributed
  3. Work through hair using fingers to texturise or a comb for a clean shape
  4. Rework throughout the day as needed — rinse out with shampoo to remove
