Some styling products make hair look styled. This one makes it look groomed — the kind of finish that survives a humid commute, a work day and a late one, without going stiff, dull or dusty. All from a tin the size of a coaster.
TL;DR: Raw muk Styling Mud 50g is a clay-texture styling mud from Australian haircare brand muk. It gives firm hold, high-gloss shine and frizz control on all hair types, resists humidity, never flakes, and washes out with water. The 50g travel tin is the pocket-sized version of the 95g original.
Product Details and Benefits
- Firm hold that stays touchable. The clay-texture formula grips and defines without setting hard, so hair still moves and can be reshaped through the day.
- High-gloss finish. This is the shiny sibling in the muk styling family — it delivers gloss and sheen rather than a matte, dry-clay look.
- Humidity resistant. Built for Australian summers, sticky mornings and the walk between the car and the office.
- Never flakes. No white specks, no dandruff impersonation, and you can lock the style in with hairspray without beading.
- Water soluble. It rinses out with water and shampoo instead of clinging on for three washes like a waxy ex.
- Kaolin clay, beeswax and carnauba wax do the structural work, giving that mud texture its grip, pliability and shine.
- Suits everyone. Recommended by muk for fine, medium and coarse textures, and for straight, wavy, curly and frizzy hair — plus blonde, coloured, grey and non-coloured hair.
- Solves four things at once: frizz control, shine, volume and firm-hold styling.
- 50g screw-top travel tin. Fits a pocket, a toiletry bag or a carry-on. The 95g tin is the full-size option for the bathroom shelf.
- PETA-accredited cruelty free. muk is 100% approved and accredited by PETA as cruelty free. Note this formula contains beeswax, so it is not vegan.
How to Use
- Start with completely dry hair. Not damp, not towel-dried — dry. Water dilutes the grip and the gloss.
- Scoop a small amount (start smaller than you think) and emulsify between your palms until the mud turns completely clear.
- Work it through the mid-lengths and ends first, then shape, define and separate. Add more only if the style asks for it.
- Want the look locked down? Finish with muk Hair Lacquer for extra hold.
Pro tip: muk's own stylists recommend using it on mid-length hair to add flexible definition to curl — so instead of slicking everything back, take it through waves and curls to build shape without crunch.
Why You'll Love It
Firm hold, real shine, zero flakes and an easy wash-out — in a tin small enough to carry and strong enough to matter. Add Raw muk Styling Mud 50g to your cart and give your hair something to hold onto.
