Muk Haircare Styling Mud - Hard Hold, Low Sheen Finish Hair Product for Men - 3.4oz

I'd say I'm a challenge. I have wispy, thinning asian hair that is about 4 inches at its longest and I need it to have some lift. I've tried the cheap off-the-shelf products from Old Spice, Garnier, Loreal, Suave, Axe. None were good enough. Then I tried the more expensive brands like Pete and Pedro and Black Ship. I'll bet this is a common theme for a lot of guys. None of them are the complete package of strong hold, matte finish, low odor, and washability. But this amazing Muk in the red tin checks all those boxes. Actually this goes beyond strong hold. In 100 degree summer humidity it loses its crispness but still hold up really well. It recently starting raining and all I had to do was rake my fingers through my hair and it held up well after drying. All around great -- just set it and leave it alone through the day. As others have said, it's smells of citrus but it's not strong and really goes away after maybe 90 minutes. Washes easily. Looks dry. Some other reviews mention white streaks but I can only guess they use way too much. I only use half of a cubic centimeter. The only minor issue is how hard it is to smear/emulsify. I find that damp, but not wet, hands make it a bit easier to smear and apply evenly. I've been using it for 3 months and about a third remains. This may be a bit pricey, but in the end it's only pennies a day.

Great stuff! Sturdy hold, yet washes right out. My hair is stiff and determined to go a certain way. It takes a good product to force it to stand up and still look effortless. If you use the right amount, hair just looks healthy and sculpted. If you over-product it, it can look a bit greasy. My advice is use less and add as needed. I also try to spread it all over, lifting at the roots, then pushing it into the shape I want. I don't have a spike do or anything. I just have a pixie cut, but I need the strongest hold possible... and ideally one that doesn't require 3 washes to come out. Bingo! This does it for a fair price. My only complaint might be that my hair sort of melts by the end of the day. I guess my head heat turns the muk into soft oil by the end of the day. It still holds... till I touch it, then it starts to flop. I and my hair sort collapse after 5pm. On someone colder, it might work well into the night. For me, though, this works. If I really wanted to go out at night, I'd want another shower anyway.

Stuff holds hard and nice. Bought my second one a month or two ago. There is a good amount for the price! My first one lasted me about 5 or 6 months. Smells nice too, manly. I use a little more than a pea size and it holds good all day (if I don't fuss around with my hair). This recent container of Muk was a little dry, but once it warmed up everything was good! Love this stuff.

Excellent wax. I thought this wouldn't work for long hair but it does! The hold is fantastic. My hair is about 5 inches long. Three dime size amounts of this is all I need to get the ball rolling on my thick hair. I use this to put my hair back and keep it sleeked. If you use American Crew fiber, ditch that and come over to this side. Its like you're putting dry glue on your hair, it lasts all day and it washes easy. Just remember to shampoo your hair, dont use conditioner and blow dry in the shape u want ur hair. Only apply to 100% dry hair!

After a month of using this Muk haircare product, I must say I’m not a fan. It leaves my hair feeling pasty and uncomfortable. Even with minimal application, it tends to clump and leave residue in the hair. For those seeking a product that enhances hair texture smoothly, this might not be the right choice. Consider looking for alternatives that leave hair feeling cleaner and more manageable.

Sticky (in a good way), very matte, not greasy, great scent that isn't too strong. I have fine, straight hair, and I use this in damp hair for all-over volume and texture with some hold for blow drying, and/or for styling on dry hair. Some reviewers have complained that it dries out, and it does. But this is a water-soluble product (which makes it so easy to wash out and remove from your hands after styling), so add a little water to the tin and stir it around with a Popsicle stick or something similar, and it'll refresh it. I prefer to keep it on the wetter side this way for ease of dispensing and emulsifying. I bought this tin like five years ago and only had to add water to it twice (less than an ounce each time), and I still have at least half of it remaining, despite using it more days a week than not. If you're getting streaking and clumps, you're using too much or not emulsifying it properly in your hands before applying, or it's dried a bit. Start with a few drops of water and go from there, it rehydrates beautifully.

I've used this every day for a while now, and I really like it. I have very thick hair, and I don't usually have a problem with the hold of the product. Application of the mud is easy (though your hair should be pretty much dry - slightly damp is alright, but anything more than that and it doesn't hold until your hair dries); an amount slightly larger than a pea is usually all that's required (unless my hair gets longer than ~3-4 inches, in which case I use slightly more). I like how the product remains malleable until it's rinsed out (which is very easy to do unlike some other muds). The only thing I would say is that if you're sweating a lot (e.g. on a run or in the gym), this loses a little hold. The flip side of this is that it's easy to wash out.

Been using Muk for years! By far my favorite hair products. This hard muk works perfectly for my hair style!

Really like this product. New for me. I have a short tousled hairstyle and this gives the good separation and height that I'm looking for. Not sticky or crunchy which I like. Can restyle during the day for more lift.

Been using this product since 2014 and don’t use anything else now. I really hope it’s never discontinued. It has a strong hold without look greasy and washes out nicely. I have thick hair and this is the only product that lets me style my hair. 10 out of 10 product!!! Worth the price. LOVE HARD MUK!!! You will not be disappointed trying any muk product.

Habe schon viele Gels, Cremes usw. ausprobiert. Ich bin immer wieder bei MUK gelandet. Hält bei jedem Wetter, ist sofort rausgewaschen, "beschwert* die Haare nicht. Auch hat man kein klebrige Gefühl! Absolut bestes Styling Ergebnis!

Lovely light citrus smell. Not heavy but perfectly keep my fine hair more in place

Impressed with the strong hold and matte look
