Description

A moldable styling clay with an oily, gritty texture for strong hold and a slick matte finish — Bamboo and Soya Bean Extracts nourish and seal while Diatomaceous Earth (89% Silica) adds structure. Ideal for roughing up hair of all lengths.

The Moda Team Review

Rough Rider is the gritty option in the Kevin Murphy paste range — the product for clients who want a deliberately undone, dirtied-up texture with genuine hold. The clay texture gives it the matte, pliable grip that other styling products cannot replicate. Bamboo Extract provides antioxidant and mineral nourishment alongside the hold, so the hair is not just styled but also protected. Soya Bean Extract nourishes and strengthens while maintaining the hair’s natural moisture levels. Diatomaceous Earth, which is 89% Silica, adds the structural support that makes the style hold its shape without crunch.

Kevin Murphy notes it is particularly useful on soft, clean hair that needs roughing up and dirtying — it works on any length from short to long. Apply heat at any point to soften the hold and re-mould the style.

Key Active Ingredients

  • Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract: Antioxidant and mineral nourishment; protects the integrity of hair health.
  • Glycine Soja (Soya Bean) Extract: Provides nourishment and strength; maintains the hair’s natural moisture levels.
  • Diatomaceous Earth (89% Silica): Supports stronger, healthier-looking hair and the structural hold of the style.
  • Pogostemon Cablin (Patchouli) Oil: Balances the hair and scalp.

How To Use

  1. Apply to damp or dry hair.
  2. Work through to create gritty texture, matte hold and separation.
  3. Apply heat at any point to soften and re-mould.
COMMON QUESTIONS

Product FAQ

No — different texture and working time. Rough Rider is a clay with an oily, gritty texture and a moldable consistency that gives more working flexibility. Night Rider is a firmer paste with a 90-second setting window for maximum directional hold. Rough Rider is for textured, gritty styling with more re-workability; Night Rider is for firm directional hold that sets and stays.
Yes — Kevin Murphy confirms Rough Rider works on any length. On shorter hair it creates defined texture and matte hold. On longer hair it adds gritty texture and separation throughout the style. Work through dry hair section by section, starting at the ends, for the most even distribution on longer lengths.
Yes — it is one of the most popular products for short men’s styles. The gritty clay texture, strong hold and slick matte finish are exactly what short choppy or textured cuts need. It also works well for medium men’s styles where a bit of texture and separation is the goal.
Yes — despite the strong hold and clay texture, Rough Rider washes out cleanly with a standard shampoo. For any day where wax or clay buildup is a concern, Kevin Murphy’s Maxi Wash (the detox shampoo) removes residue completely.
Yes — Kevin Murphy confirms it works on damp or dry hair. On damp hair before blow-drying, it builds texture and hold through the drying process. On dry hair it adds gritty texture, separation and matte hold to a finished style. Most clients prefer dry application for maximum gritty texture.
