I'm so glad I discovered this clay product by complete accident. I have medium to thick hair that I keep fairly short and had been using pomades to help tamp down the chia pet frizz my hair likes to do. Pomades did control but were so heavy and greasy. I was afraid of my head touching anything for fear of leaving a stain.
Anyhow, this clay product is just great! Took a while to learn how to break it down between you palms first with just the right amount and then run it through your hair. Hold is a perfect medium that you can actually run your hands thru once dry without needing to wash your hands afterwards.
It may be marketing hype, but it does seem that Moroccan clay is actually making my hair healthier. Just feels better and so much more manageable. Other great benefit; washes out cleanly. Squeaky clean in one wash. The other pomades I tried took 3 or 4 washes sometimes to clean out.
While it may be more expensive than off the shelf brands, it seems to last longer since I'm using less for the same level of hold. YMMV
Probably the best deodorant I've ever used. Many of the standard deodorants I've used have left me feeling pain or just a weird tightness in my armpits after prolonged use. Not this brand. I can use daily/multiple times per day and I have no issue. Also, it doesn't mess with my shirts. Thus far I've yet to notice any dark marks or sweat stains on my armpits when I use this deodorant. Highly recommend 10/10
I stumbled across HWG by accident. There are so many gels, clays, fibers out there but this is the one that holds my hair the best. I tried 3 other brands during the short while HWG wasn't available, and I'm glad they are back (and I'm glad Amazon has a great return policy). Many others were just too greasy. This is not. It's perfect
When I found the Clay I thought I had finally found what I was looking for. Great hold, natural materials, affordable. There’s something different about this most recent (July 2025) clay from prior orders. The texture is different, it doesn’t hold the same as before. Very disappointing. I may stick with it for a little longer, but will be back on the search for an alternative.
Certainly my “go to” for hair care. All of these products here are good- but this paste is GREAT. Not chunky. Very smooth and easy. I have recommended this to many others- no disappointments.
By the way- trust this company. Great customer support. Jenn Ryan is the best.
A NEW BEGINNING
Welcome to the first HWG blog. We're excited to introduce a place where we will tell the stories of true Hardworking Gentlemen that inspire us.
Today, we are excited to release something we've been working on for some time. Towards the end of 2019 we took a hard look at our brand and where we were spending our time, money, and energy and assessed whether or not we were reaching both our goals and our customers' needs. The result was a near complete shut down and restart to our business. We've had months of delays helped in no small part by a global pandemic and the resulting complete halt to both our supply chain and distribution channels, but here we are.
Nothing about starting something over again is easy, but man is it worth it. When we started this company in 2017, it was under a different name and we were excited about what was to come. We started strong, but only a few months after launching we were sued over our trademark and had to liquidate our entire inventory. Not the smoothest start, but we saw an opportunity to examine who we are and why we're doing this.
Our mantra has always been to produce natural daily essential goods for hardworking gentlemen, so we pivoted and rebranded as Hardworking Gentlemen. We're not the most creative thinkers here (but we do our best) and Hardworking Gentlemen was born.
Internally we are constantly discussing who we are, who our customers are, and why we are doing any of this in the first place. The answer for us has always been to produce premium natural products in sustainable packaging for guys like us, and to do it in an honest and authentic way. Products where you can be comfortable knowing the ingredients are always natural and healthy, the packaging is eco-friendly and responsible, and the brand is made up of normal guys like you just wanting to do their part.
So without further ado, here we are. Welcome, to the new Hardworking Gentlemen.
