Made from natural clays and resins, it thickens and adds volume to all hair types, especially fine or thinning hair, while washing out easily with water. Its whipped, mousse-like texture ensures effortless application and long-lasting definition without greasiness or buildup. Finished with a signature White Edition scent, Atlas is proudly made in the USA and perfect for creating everything from tousled beach waves to structured pompadours. ## Description The Cardinal Brand's Atlas Matte Texture Clay has been specially formulated to give maximum control with minimum weight. It is easy to work with, providing incomparable, all-day hold and definition with a fully matte finish. Atlas can be used to thicken, texturize and add fullness to all hair types. To use, apply a small amount to dry hair for instant texture and separation. For a more flexible hold, or more exacting styles, apply to damp hair, arrange, and allow to dry naturally. Atlas makes a particularly great pre-blow dry product to build volume and height in both barbered styles, and tousled, natural looks. Add to root and blow dry for root control and direction. Scrunch Atlas into damp curls for ultimate fullness and thickness. Mid-length cuts will find Atlas a sure source of beach waves. Review: Cardinal Brand Atlas, dry matte look winner! - Review from my husband Julien: “The Cardinal Brand’s Atlas is fabulous. I decided to put it up against Bumble and Bumble’s Sumoclay, basically a BMW vs Mercedes type matchup. Long story coming up, but the Cardinal turned out to be a Porsche Turbo... I bought both brands on desertcart and as usual, got great service and received both items promptly. I decided to start an alternating-day trial with both brands. For the record. I don’t have a suit-and-tie job so I don’t need to have my hair looking super tight every day. However, in general, I like my hair looking messy and dry... First day of trial was Atlas. Second day of trial was Sumoclay.... I put the Atlas on around 10AM after showering and washing my hair. My first thought was I loved the smell, manly. Mallory (my wife) loves it too, which is a bonus (wink)... I realized early that Atlas is very easy to apply, even with wet hair. It feels like chocolate mousse in your fingers, and doesn’t stick to strands of hair. I was very surprised how well it spread. This is nothing like pomade, where it sticks to fingers, or grabs onto the first strand of hair when you apply. This is butter, folks. Now, like anyone reading this, I’m thinking about what my hair will look like in 1 to 2 to 3 hours. Will I look like straight Gino, or will I look like Harvey Specter (from TV show Suits, you’re welcome, if you haven’t seen it)? Atlas gets the job done by drying up and holding on like Mariano Rivera in the 9th. The hold was incredible throughout the day, so impressed. Now I wake up for day 2, brush my teeth, look in mirror, my hair is tight. I mean, tight. My day 2 Cardinal Brand Atlas is basically ready for me to go to Wall Street without washing my hair. But I spent $30 on the Sumoclay, so I have to give it a fair shot, right? So I wash my hair and get ready to put the Sumo in, and there it is. I get it in my fingers and everything’s fine, not the chocolate mousse I was hoping for, but fine. Then, I go to put it in my hair, NOPE. It gets stuck in my bangs, right up front. Now I’m battling to get this stuff all the way to the back of my dome. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Now, Sumoclay held up nice, there’s no denying that, but from an application standpoint, Atlas wins. I also give Atlas both the smell notch and the next morning notch, which are both approved by my wife. Cardinal Atlas if you want that dry matte look, folks. It’s a lock. Review: Magic Whipped Cream that creates a TON of texture and hold - I actually work in the hair industry and as a result get to try all sorts of products. As a result, I have two bathroom drawers full of hair products that I have purchased yet don't really love. Cardinal is the only thing I've used in my hair for the past couple months because it is so different. I have medium hair that is dense and has wave and like to wear my hair longer (making it heavy) than most men do, because of this I have the hardest time finding something that is strong enough to hold my long/heavy hair on top to keep it from falling down without making it look and feel like it's hard, wet, or glued to my head. The only thing that worked before this was a product called Alterna Caviar that has since been discontinued. Luckily, the creators at Cardinal Brand figured out how to create a... I don't know exactly what to call it... kind of a whipped light cream stuff. It smells amazing - masculine in a high-end familiar but not easily recognizable scent - and the craziest thing which I love (because let's face it, it's not super cheap) is how little is actually needed to do my hair. Even though it feels light and whipped, I only need around the amount of a two dimes stacked on top of one another (a bizarrely small amount) to make my hair hold all day, while giving it a ton of texture that you can only normally get from a salt sea spray. It creates a very natural product-free looking hold with an awesome amount of texture. I also appreciate that because it's so effective in small amounts, I have been able bring this round tin in my carry on bags all over the world with no problems from TSA. Again, not sure what is in this stuff, but whatever it is it works and works wonders. To re-style my hair the following day I just wet hands and re-shape. ## Features - Weightless, yet Strong Matte Finish: Made from whipped clay, Atlas gives exceptional separation and definition with a matte appearance that protects against greasiness. Unlike most clays, Atlas has a light touch, and won't gunk your hair up or weigh it down. - Thicken and Build Body: Works with all hair types, but especially well on fine, thinning, or limp hair. Natural clays and resins give instant fullness and texture. Apply Atlas into longer hair for beachy waves, or use it to define shorter, choppy cuts. Whether you just need a touch of tousled texture, or are determined to build the world's most majestic pompadour, Atlas has got your back. - Washes Away Easily with Water: Atlas is water soluble, and washes out effortlessly in the shower at the end of the day, leaving no buildup or residue behind. - Signature Fragrance and Made in the USA: Atlas is proudly made in the USA, and is scented with our signature White Edition fragrance. Warm, enveloping – and just sweet enough to tantalize – Atlas has been known to turn heads, in the best way. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B078XSWPG3 | | Brand | The Cardinal Brand | | Brand Name | The Cardinal Brand | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 199 Reviews | | Hair Type | All Hair Types,Waves | | Item Form | Clay | | Item Volume | 100.54 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.24 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 3.4 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | The Cardinal Brand | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Matte Finish, Thickening, Volume Building, All-day Hold and Definition | | Scent | White Edition | | Scent Name | White Edition | | UPC | 854659007015 | | Unit Count | 3.4 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Product Benefits:** Matte Finish, Thickening, Volume Building, All-day Hold and Definition - **Hair Type:** All Hair Types,Waves - **Scent:** White Edition - **Liquid Volume:** 3.4 Fluid Ounces - **Item Form:** Clay ## Images ![Atlas Matte Texture Clay 3.4 Ounce is an Ultra Lightweight, Matte Hair Clay, Medium to Firm Hold, Thickening, Volume Building, Hair Styling and Grooming Product for Men and Women - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LoaX38CfL.jpg) ![Atlas Matte Texture Clay 3.4 Ounce is an Ultra Lightweight, Matte Hair Clay, Medium to Firm Hold, Thickening, Volume Building, Hair Styling and Grooming Product for Men and Women - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NwkBRQEiL.jpg) ![Atlas Matte Texture Clay 3.4 Ounce is an Ultra Lightweight, Matte Hair Clay, Medium to Firm Hold, Thickening, Volume Building, Hair Styling and Grooming Product for Men and Women - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71d6ALLVY5L.jpg) ![Atlas Matte Texture Clay 3.4 Ounce is an Ultra Lightweight, Matte Hair Clay, Medium to Firm Hold, Thickening, Volume Building, Hair Styling and Grooming Product for Men and Women - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fM5oFZqRL.jpg) ![Atlas Matte Texture Clay 3.4 Ounce is an Ultra Lightweight, Matte Hair Clay, Medium to Firm Hold, Thickening, Volume Building, Hair Styling and Grooming Product for Men and Women - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810hHaL4nuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cardinal Brand Atlas, dry matte look winner! *by M***R on March 30, 2018* Review from my husband Julien: “The Cardinal Brand’s Atlas is fabulous.

I have a full head of fine, thick hair and finding the perfect product has been rather difficult. Either the product is too heavy and kills all the volume with a flat greasy mess look or allows volume and flexibility but falls apart with the first breeze of the day. I’ve been using Cardinal Atlas for a little under a year now and it has solved all those issues! It’s lite enough to allow the flexibility I need to sculpt my preferred hair style but strong enough to keep it in place and looking good no matter what the day brings. It’s easy as applying a dime size worth of Atlas after a shower and blow dry. But just when you think the best part of Atlas is how it’ll make you look BOOM! It smells even better! It is by far the best smelling hair product I have ever come across. It’s like walking around with your favorite candle burning safely on top of your head. I promise you will occasionally get whiffs of it throughout the day and you’ll wonder where that sweet smell is coming from but then you realize oh it’s you. As I highlighted at the beginning of this review I have had a really hard time finding a product that works for me and that’s why I’m more than happy to give Cardinal Atlas all the praise it deserves. You’ll look good! You’ll smell good!! So trust me when I say if Atlas is for me then Atlas Is for you!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/59223290-atlas-matte-texture-clay-3-4-ounce-is-an-ultra](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/59223290-atlas-matte-texture-clay-3-4-ounce-is-an-ultra) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
