Style is a state of mind, thoughts determine character, and our actions define us. When it comes to crafting a look and a personal style, T&D believes in wearing your heart on your sleeve and shooting for the end zone. They built Coltrane clay to deliver on just such an ethos. It’s for anyone who understands that the best way to get to the dance is to ride along with the band.
Utilizing White Clay and Beeswax mixed with Pracaxi oil and a splash of Brazil wax, this medium-hold clay is designed to create the perfect hold for those who want a matte, firm, healthy wave that is flexible enough to mould your own way, but strong enough to keep it that way.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. Medium Hold, Matte Finish & Re-workable – Feels and looks natural but is flexible enough to rework throughout the day.
2. Suits fine to thick, short to medium length hair, so it’s not all things to everybody and we say that’s OK.
3. Curl the hair, add some Coltrane Clay to your hands, warm it up and apply to mids and ends.
4. Apply a small amount of Coltrane Clay through damp or dry hair from the back of the head to the front, working it in, and styling to suit. Good for showing off texture and layers. Walk tall, run strong, fight the good fight.
5. Includes great sustainable natural ingredients that avoid the traditional nasties.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 2011 by former cricket player and New Zealander, Dion Nash, Triumph & Disaster is a skin and haircare line that combines the best of nature and the best of science to produce naturally derived but scientifically engineered products that work.
The name was inspired by a poem close to Nash’s heart, Rudyard Kipling’s “If”, which contains the line: “if you can meet with Triumph & Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same…” This encapsulates the ethos of the brand – humility, honour, risk and reward. They are the values that moulded a brand capable of reminding us that acts of ritual and preparation are worthy endeavours and that healthy skin is something to aspire to and be proud of.
With a focus on sustainability, integrity and honesty, Triumph & Disaster is picky about its ingredients. They use local indigenous ingredients such as Horopito oil and Ponga fern extract blended with scientifically proven and natural ingredients from around the globe, such as clay from Australia, Jojoba extract from Mexico and Tamanu oil from Polynesia.
The brand aims to respect nature, utilise science, create products of ritual and tools for preparation – so we can treat Triumph & Disaster, those two imposters, just the same.
