American Gardens is one of my go to Clays. I think it's the perfect balance. Dry but not too dry. Firm hold . Easy application. Just a little tug and pull but not horrible. Scent is nice and subtle. You do have to apply some pressure when scooping it out of the jar but I don't have any issue with it. I do miss the old labeling. Great product. 👍

Love this stuff. I have straight fine hair, and this has been the best product I have found to give me an all day hold and low shine finish.
I used to buy this direct from my former barber , but then I moved and still have purchased online multiple times, I just trust it.
The 3oz jar lasts a long time.
I see comments about this being hard, and needing to work in with your hands to get it usable. I have experienced this, but I do not find it to be an issue. My barber used to say you wanted to warm up the pomade in your hands before applying it anyway. So this achieves that.
Overall, I have been very happy with this product, and have recommended to others.

I love the natural elements of this product and how it styles my short, fine hair. Unfortunately, the consistency of the product is extremely disappointing and requires extensive working in your hands before application. Two varieties of clay appear to be evident in the jar; one that is soft as you'd expect from a clay and the other which is extremely hard and, if not warmed up sufficiently, remains as a blob of clay in the middle of your hair during styling. It appears as though this isn't an isolated occurrence from reading previous reviews, and sadly, it has prevented me from re-purchasing. I'd recommend a product like Layrite Cement Clay if you're looking for an excellent clay product with great hold and consistency for short, fine hair.

Great quality clay. Always gives great volume, texture, and hold. Admittedly, it seems very hard to scoop out. After scooping out and breaking it down, it’s surprising how creamy it gets in comparison to scooping. Smell is light, and I usually don’t notice it. Washout is easy at least with a little shampoo. It has performed well in my short and long slick backs.

I love the way it holds my style all day, with a little bit of water it refreshes it to keep it looking fresh even for the next day.
