Johnny Slicks Formula 49 Clay Pomade 2 oz — Firm Hold, Matte Finish, All-Organic & Water-Based

Johnny Slicks Formula 49 is an all-organic clay pomade that delivers a firm, long-lasting hold with a natural matte finish while helping hydrate the scalp and support healthy hair appearance.

Made in North Carolina by a marine veteran–owned brand, this 2-ounce jar combines bentonite clay, beeswax, coconut oil, castor oil and body-safe fragrance to create a styling product that controls hair without shine or stiffness. The Original scent blends amber, teakwood, coffee, charred pine and sandalwood for a warm, woodsy aroma. Designed for daily styling, the formula is water-based for easy application and removal, and it’s intended to work across straight, thick and curly hair textures.

How does this clay pomade hold hair without looking greasy?

The bentonite clay and beeswax team up to lock strands in place while absorbing excess oils, resulting in a firm hold with a subdued, matte appearance. Because it’s water-compatible, the product spreads smoothly and rinses clean without leaving heavy residue.

• Bentonite clay controls oil and adds texture for matte definition.
• Beeswax provides structure for lasting hold.
• Water-based formula avoids greasy buildup and rinses easily.

Can this pomade help a dry or flaky scalp?

The formulation includes coconut and castor oils that help moisturize skin and hair, while the clay can soothe and remove particulate buildup. Regular use can help reduce visible flaking by hydrating and balancing the scalp’s surface, though individual results vary.

• Coconut oil locks in moisture without heavy shine.
• Castor oil supports hydration and hair strength appearance.
• Bentonite clay helps draw out impurities for a cleaner scalp feel.

What styling results can I expect for different hair types?

Formula 49 is formulated to adapt to straight, thick and curly hair, offering flexible yet firm control that complements each texture without feeling crunchy. Use a small amount for light shaping or more product for defined, structured styles.

• Straight hair: adds texture and separation with a matte look.
• Thick hair: tames bulk while maintaining durable hold.
• Curly hair: defines curls and reduces frizz without stiffness.

How do I apply and remove the pomade?

Warm a pea-sized amount between your palms and distribute evenly through dry hair, then style with fingers or a comb. Removal is straightforward: because the formula is water-compatible, shampooing or rinsing with warm water breaks down the base and clears residues.

• Rub product between palms to soften before applying.
• Work from roots to tips for consistent coverage and hold.
• Rinse or shampoo normally for full removal.
