How to Use Gatsby Technical Design Clay

Hair clay gives the hairdo a more extreme look.

Technical design clay is used to style hair. The clay is often used to create twists and spikes, such as mohawks and other punk-style hairdos. Spiky hairstyles are popular among men because they are easy to achieve and can take a variety of forms. Technical design clay creates a firmer hold and remains in the hair longer than most other hair products, such as hair gel.

Instructions

1. Take an amount of clay the size of a fingertip and rub it into your palm, fingers and fingertips to get the clay all over your hands.

2. Run your fingers through your hair and push the hair back. Rub more technical design clay on the roots of the hair to increase the amount of lift and the longevity of the hairstyle. The clay provides support for the roots, which must support the weight of the rest of the hair to keep it from falling down.

3. Twist the hair ends at the top and the nape of the neck to make the hair look wild. Or press the hair down on the sides of the head for a more streamlined look, depending on the style you are aiming for. Grab sections of hair at the roots and run your fingers to the tip of the hair, squeezing the tip slightly to form a spike. Continue this until you have formed all the spikes that you want. Create sections of hair in different sizes so the hair does not look uniform. If one spike does not go in the direction you want it to, add a little more clay.

Tips & Warnings

• The technical clay comes in a small package, which makes it easier for you to carry around anywhere. When the clay starts to lose its hold, you can add more clay to your hair to maintain your style on the go.
