Shape and Nourish Hair the Hunter Lab Natural Pomade Way

Craftsmanship & Philosophy

Hunter Lab’s Natural Hair Pomade embodies the brand’s Melbourne-made, “next-gen natural” ethos: 98 percent naturally derived, free from parabens, PEGs and heavy petrochemicals, yet fully capable of salon-grade performance. The clay-wax paste arrives in the line’s signature minimalist matte jar, echoing Hunter Lab’s commitment to clean ingredients and clean design.

Who It’s For

Short-to-medium hair that needs flexible structure and a true matte finish will thrive on this pomade. The medium hold suits textured crops, side-parts and relaxed quiffs, while a fresh citrus-wood aroma, drawn entirely from essential oils, keeps the scent comfortably unisex. It also tames fly-aways on ponytails, making it a versatile finisher for anyone who prefers definition without shine.

Botanical Ingredients & Benefits

Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil to deliver grit and volume, while beeswax, rich in fatty acids, provides pliable strength so hair can be re-worked throughout the day. Shea and cocoa seed butters condition strands, and aloe-vera juice plus avocado oil soothe and hydrate the scalp. A botanical medley of mandarin, sweet orange, cedarwood, rosemary and hinoki essential oils layers antioxidants, a subtle fragrance and a touch of scalp stimulation, all in a water-soluble base that rinses out with ease.

How to Use

Warm a pea-sized amount between palms until the paste softens, then rake it through dry or towel-damp hair from roots to ends. For lift, focus on the crown and tousle with fingertips; for sleek control, smooth over the surface and comb into place. The non-greasy formula stands up to humidity, layers well with salt sprays, and never flakes, yet a quick rinse removes every trace at day’s end.

Finish & Styling Experience

Expect a natural, low-sheen finish that looks lived-in rather than lacquered. Hair keeps movement yet resists collapse from office air-conditioning or light workouts. The clay-wax blend creates touchable texture for second-day restyling, while plant butters leave strands soft instead of crunchy. The essential-oil fragrance fades to a whisper of citrus-cedar, so it won’t clash with fragrance or beard oils.

Why It Belongs on Your Shelf

Hunter Lab Natural Hair Pomade delivers the holy trinity of modern styling: matte texture, medium hold and botanical care, packaged in a jar that looks at home on any vanity. If you want styling power that respects both hair health and planet health, this Australian-made paste deserves a permanent place in your routine.
