The Complete STMNT Buying Guide: Pomade, Clay, Paste or Powder — Which One Fits Your Style?

STMNT Grooming Goods was built differently. Instead of a marketing department deciding what men's hair products should be, the brand took a genuinely collaborative approach and co-created its range with internationally recognized barbers — session barber and creative director Julius Cvesar, award-winning barber and educator Staygold, and the travelling Nomad Barber. Each contributed a collection built around how they actually work behind the chair: "shine, matte and everything in-between" from Cvesar, "powders, fibers and transforming textures" from Staygold, and classic sprays, pomade and clay "upgraded for today's grooming needs" from the Nomad Barber. The brand calls itself a brand with purpose — its STMNT X ANDYSMANCLUB collaboration supports men's mental wellbeing — and invites everyone to #MAKEYOURSTMNT.

But a lineup of eleven stylers and care products raises the obvious question: pomade, clay, paste or powder — which one is yours? This guide walks the full STMNT range at ProHair.ca, product by product, so you buy right the first time.

The STMNT Difference

  • Co-created with barbers. Every styler comes from a working barber's collection, tuned for real cuts and real mornings — in the salon, the barbershop or at home.
  • Activated charcoal formulas. The care line pairs activated charcoal with menthol for a deep cleanse and a cooling, fresh feeling; most stylers carry the charcoal formula too.
  • Clean formulation choices. The care products are free of sulfated surfactants and silicone oils, and every STMNT product we carry is a vegan formula.
  • One signature scent. Fresh citrus and lavender rounded off with tonka bean — the same premium grooming scent across the range, so your shampoo and your pomade don't argue.

Who STMNT Is For

  • You want barbershop-grade styling at a fair price — every styler is $14.99–$17.99
  • You care about vegan formulas and care products without sulfated surfactants or silicone oils
  • You want the full finish spectrum — high shine, satin, matte — from one matched brand
  • Your hair is fine or flat and you want instant powder volume
  • You have curls or waves and want definition without crunch
  • You keep a beard and want it soft, calm and clean with two products, not five

Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere

Honesty first. STMNT is a fragrance-forward brand — the citrus–lavender–tonka scent is a feature, and there is no unscented option. The care line is deliberately simple: a shampoo, a conditioner, an all-in-one cleanser and a beard oil — if you need targeted treatment care (dandruff, thinning, colour care), a specialist range will serve you better. And while the Gel gives a firm hold and the Dry Clay and Matte Paste are genuinely strong, spike-it-to-the-ceiling maximum-hold products aren't what this brand does — it's built for modern, natural-looking finishes.

The Range, Product by Product

Pomades

Classic Pomade, 100ml ($17.99). Medium hold, high-shine finish for sleek, classic looks — slick backs, side parts, pompadours. Water-soluble, so it washes out easily with no greasy residue. Best for: polished, high-shine classics.

Fiber Pomade, 100ml ($17.99). Medium hold with a natural satin finish. Flexible, pliable texture you can sculpt and rework without stiffness. Best for: defined but natural-looking texture.

Clay & Pastes

Dry Clay, 100ml ($17.99). Strong hold, dry matte finish for textured, undone looks. Reworkable — it doesn't harden. Best for: textured crops and messy, matte styles.

Matte Paste, 100ml ($17.99). Strong hold with a residue-free matte finish; creamy and easy to distribute and rework. Best for: natural-looking hold all day.

Shine Paste, 100ml ($17.99). Medium hold, high-shine, smooth and non-greasy. Best for: polished, refined looks with workable hold.

Powders

Spray Powder, 4g ($14.99). Volumizing powder in a spray — instant root volume, dry texture and grip, and it absorbs excess oil. Best for: fine or flat hair, and second-day styling.

Wax Powder, 15g ($14.99). Powder that transforms to a wax-like grip as you work it in — matte finish, flexible hold, pocket-sized. Best for: quick matte texture on the go.

Sprays, Gel & Curls

Grooming Spray, 200ml ($14.99). All-purpose pre-styling mist: moisture, shine, manageability and heat protection up to 230°C. Best for: prepping before blow-dry or hot tools.

Definition Spray, 200ml ($14.99). Texturizing spray for definition and natural movement — light, flexible hold, matte finish, no stiffness. Best for: effortless volume and texture.

Gel, 150ml ($14.99). Firm hold and shine for sharp, structured, slick styles — clean, non-flaking formula. Best for: defined wet looks that last.

Curl Cream, 150ml ($14.99). Lightweight cream that defines curls, coils and waves with flexible hold, frizz control and added moisture — no crunch. Best for: curly and wavy hair.

Care

Shampoo, 300ml ($21.99). Daily shampoo for all hair types with activated charcoal and menthol — cleanses thoroughly with a cooling, refreshing feel. Free of sulfated surfactants and silicone oils. Also in a 750ml value size ($24.99). Best for: everyday hair and scalp cleansing.

Conditioner, 275ml ($21.99). Moisturizing charcoal formula with menthol that detangles, restores shine and softens hair — works on beards too. Also in a 675ml value size ($24.99). Best for: prepping hair for the cut or the style.

All-In-One Cleanser, 300ml ($21.99). Shampoo, shower gel and beard wash in one bottle — activated charcoal and menthol, removes impurities from hair, beard, body, face and hands. Also in 750ml ($24.99). Best for: gym bags, travel, and one-bottle routines.

Beard Oil, 50ml ($16.99). Nourishing oil based on natural oils — keeps every beard type soft, moisturized and healthy-looking, and calms itch. Silicone-free, daily use, citrus scent with incense and woody undertones. Best for: every beard, every day.

If You Only Buy One Thing

Smart Buying Tips

  • Value sizes are the quiet win: the 750ml Shampoo, 750ml All-In-One Cleanser and 675ml Conditioner are only $3 more than the standard bottles — $24.99 for roughly 2.5x the product.
  • Start with a matched pair: one styler plus the Shampoo covers most routines; add the Grooming Spray if you blow-dry.
  • All stylers share the scent, so you can mix finishes — e.g. Spray Powder at the roots, Matte Paste through the mids — without clashing.
  • Beard minimalism: the All-In-One Cleanser to wash, the Beard Oil to finish. Two products, done.
