How each score was set

Usability 6.9 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Published ingredients and specs10.0/10: All six items appear for the clay: a four-item ingredient list, the 1.69 oz jar size, how-to steps, hair lengths it suits, the Leaping Bunny statement in the linked FAQ, and Southern California bottling.
Price transparency10.0/10: The $28 jar price shows with its size and no strike-through, and the site banner gives the free-shipping threshold before checkout.
Return window3.0/10: Only sealed, unused jars can come back, within 14 days of delivery, with the buyer covering return postage.
Guarantee and defect cover1.0/10: Jack Henry's refund policy offers no satisfaction guarantee once a clay jar has been opened.
Subscription terms9.0/10: Clay can be bought once or put on a 1–3 month auto-ship at $23.80, managed in an online portal; no pre-charge reminder is published.

Source · checked Nov 12, 2026

The claim

48-hour hold and survey figures (96% matte finish, 88% all-day hold)

What we found

The claim

Product copy says the clay stimulates hair growth and fights dandruff

What we found

Fine print

This is the seller's wording; no named study or Drug Facts panel backs it, and the clay is sold as a cosmetic styler.

The claim

Free shipping threshold

What we found

Contradicted

The clay landing page advertises free US shipping over $60, while the current shipping policy and the site banner say $75.
