Hi, I'm your host and I'm here today to look at matte clays and there are certainly some to avoid, but these are the seventh
0:07
You have to love the style here with this little skeleton with an Elvis-like coiff here and it looks amazing
0:14
And it really is strong clay. It holds my hair up pretty well and I like my hair up
0:19
And the advantage here is that it's pretty matte. There isn't any shine at all, which means my hair can be a little bit browner than black, which it gets when I get like a wet
0:30
pomade or a gel in there and it actually really smells really good. I think with this in your hair
0:39
you almost don't have to wear any cologne or after shave because this already gives off a nice
0:46
little scent here. This has a completely matte finish and adds a ton of texture which is perfect
0:51
for my short hair and I like it up and to stay up all day. You can also go through my hair
0:56
during the day without having to reapply anything. Now if you want to apply this, take out a little and warm that in your hands
1:03
Then just rub it across your hands a few times. And then you can apply that all over your hair
1:09
You can see I've done my son and myself with this and just just a little bit of product
1:13
has left the jar and the rest is still in there. So you only need a tiny bit here
1:18
This has one of my favorite smells. So my wife always says she really loves this one
1:22
And the cool thing is you can wash this out with almost any shampoo. so it doesn't leave any residue and that leaves you with a blank canvas to sculpt your hair
1:31
in any way you want again. It's one of the best matte finishes I've tried. This clay is really
1:35
mad. It couldn't be more mad actually and this one also smells quite nice. It's a little bit
1:43
more rugged, more manly but this is also very great. Now this one has two out of ten on shine
1:50
and eight out of ten on hold so that holds very very well. It's very sturdy
1:55
You can mold it into place any way you want it. So just use a little on top and then a little bit extra on the sides and back for my hair
2:06
And it's perfect for thin hair like I have or a little bit longer like my sons
2:11
As you can see, and the hold on my hair is pretty strong. So this is for like an out of bed look
2:17
And this is more like an earthy smell. I only need just a little bit to do your hair
2:22
I just did my own and my sons. And I think this is perfect to use on your hair
2:27
If you have thin hair, just to get it to stand up. Or like my son, his hair is a little bit longer
2:33
And you can really make sure that the hair stays to the side
2:37
Now, you just need to warm a little in your hand and then rub that all over your hand
2:41
So you can make sure that there's not a big lump somewhere in your hair
2:47
Just at one place Now you can wash this off pretty easily with any kind of shampoo So that quite nice and because the smell and the hold I really recommend this to anyone
2:57
who wants that mad look. Hi I'm Yost and I'm here today with this shiny gold clay. It's a pretty
3:02
shiny clay but it's not overly shiny with like with gels. It's still clay here but not really
3:08
mad look and it holds my hair up all day. You can see I've just applied a little here on top
3:15
and then a little extra here on the sides. And that's keeping my hair up quite nicely
3:21
Now it smells really great. It's like this coconuty smell, a little bit of vanilla maybe
3:27
Okay, so this stuff is a little softer than other types of clay. You can see that
3:33
It comes out of the tin a little more easily. And you don't have to rub it across your hands as much
3:40
So this is a more softer clay and it's a little bit further away from wax than
3:45
other types. And what I do to apply this to my hair is just get a little bit out and then
3:50
wrap it across my hands, just a little bit to spread it out so you don't get large lumps in one
3:55
place. Now the hold on this shine a gold is pretty awesome. And it's a little bit in between
4:01
of the uppercut clay and the suavitico. But I do like the smell of this just a little bit better
4:08
And I think this is more my style, more of a metro style and less of a rugged type of man's style
4:15
great thing about this is it's pretty matte, but not that matte. I have had products that were
4:20
a little bit more matte, so it still gives a bit of shine while still being a moldable clay. And
4:26
the cool thing is that you can go through your hair during the day, especially with longer hair
4:30
like with my sons, and just mold that back into place again. So I really recommend this for
4:36
people who want the clay and want a little bit more shine, not that mad look and the ability
4:40
to mold this and go through your hair during the day. Hi, I'm Yost and I'm here today with the
4:45
right cement clay and it really does its name just as cement and they say here it holds
4:51
like wax and washes out like gel so that's pretty much it it smells delicious and you
4:57
can also wash this out just with a little shampoo but the hold is amazing it says
5:02
mad finish it is a little bit more like a wet finish here and there than some of the
5:09
other ones some are more mad and they are more like for a out of bed look or a really
5:14
messy kind of hair and this is like a little bit more like the slick look as you can see it's a
5:22
little bit more slick here and there than some of the other ones and look is also incredible it has this
5:27
nice design with the woman sitting here in like a barber shop setting and the golden gap is amazing
5:34
as well so that the first thing that attracted me to this and of course the cement clay that on here and the matte finish which is what I testing right now Some of the products with the best matte finishes Now this one does have an incredible look to it
5:52
but it's a little bit more shiny than some of the other matte finishes
5:56
So if you want a completely matte finish, then this product maybe isn't the right fit for you
6:01
As you can see, you have to scrape a little bit out
6:08
and then mold that in your hands. It also smells amazing. It's a little bit like a more
6:13
Metro-Man kind of smell, just like with the uppercut brand, where there are also more rugged
6:18
type of smells like the Bruzel brand, for example. And I think this one is more like to the
6:23
Metro Man kind of side. You can also wear this in your hair and then not using any cologne. I still
6:28
smell great all day. Now for my shorter hair, it can give me those nice spikes that I like. And for my
6:33
son's hair, which is a little bit longer, I can easily mold this to one side and make a few little
6:38
little adjustment to make sure every hair falls in the right place. So I really recommend this for
6:43
anyone looking for a meth finish but not really mad and not messy hair, but still a way to
6:50
sculpt your hair exactly the way you want it. Hi, I'm Yost and I'm here today with slick gorilla clay
6:55
pomade and it really has a strong hold and also a little bit of shine to it. It's like a hard clay
7:01
when it comes out of the tin, but it smells and feels more like almost a gel than other clays that
7:08
I've used. And this is also not a matte clay, but it does have a really firm hold. This can hold my
7:15
hair in place all day, but it's not as good for going with your hands through your hair during the
7:21
day and molding it back into place. It doesn't have like a hard texture like with some gels. So it's not
7:29
like your hair is getting crispy at all, but it really is more like a shiny pomade
7:35
It's a little bit harder than some of the other clays I've tested
7:40
You can see, you really have to rub your hands across the surface of this just to get a little
7:46
out and it's also very sticky. Now the shine is a little bit more like gel and it also smells a little bit more like a gel
7:52
would smell. And so it's a little bit more gel-like than some of the other pomates I've tried, like the
7:57
Shana Gold, the Layride or the uppercut deluxe. They're all more like this Metro Man kind of coconut-y vanilla smell
8:05
This is more like a regular gel smell. And this is really like a firmhold and wet kind of the look
8:12
not a mad and out-of-bed kind of look. So this is not really for making a messy type of hair style
8:18
but more like the slick style where every hair is meticulously placed
8:22
Now this is also perfect for a little bit longer hair to make that to stand to the side or maybe a slick back look like with my son hair So that can hold in place during the day all day So I really recommend this one for someone who wants a more wet look without like the crunch of a traditional type of hair gel because your hair will taste off with this one
8:45
Hi, I'm your host and I'm here with the American crew defining paste and it's a little bit more messy
8:49
like an out of bed look and it doesn't have a great big shine to it but it isn't completely
8:56
mad as well. So there's a great paste if you want that messy look but not so much if you want to
9:00
to have a slick look and every hair placed in exactly the right place the way you want it
9:05
This is a bit between a wet gel and a matte clay
9:10
It's a defining paste, is what they call it. And it's hard and gooey when it's inside the tin
9:17
But once you get it out, it immediately becomes like a wet substance
9:20
Way more than like a matte clay. But it still gives a met defining texture
9:26
The hold isn't as good as some of the other products I've tested on my short
9:30
and thin hair. So it's not that great to hold it up all day, but it does give a nice, mad definition
9:37
to the hair, even though the substance is quite wet. I call this perfect for frisk control
9:42
and it does give a little shine, but it's also a conditioner and moisturizing cream. I can't get
9:47
a pretty good definition here and make the hair stand the way I like it, although the hold
9:52
isn't that great. It worked a lot better for my son's hair, which is a little bit longer to
9:56
get it to stand to the side and get that to keep in place than to mold your hair in a really
10:02
particular way like with my shorter hair. So all and all, this is a great product if you have a
10:07
little bit harder hair to work with and to get that into shape the folie way you wanted
10:11
instead of a clay or paste that keeps your hair up. Hi, I'm Yost and I'm here today with
10:17
Reuselmet clay and it's one of the strongest clays that I've tested and it smells a little bit more like
10:25
a medicine than like a pomade and it's a little bit more of a manly smell than some of the
10:31
other pomates have tested which have more like a metromans smell which i'm more accustomed to
10:37
but it does have a cool matte finish and a very strong hold you can see that on my back
10:47
and side so it's not really that messy look it still has a little bit of going to it but
10:52
it's a perfect product to get your hair to go exactly in the way you want it without having
10:58
like this crunchy texture of a gel. Now this clay is actually a little bit harder and drier than most
11:04
So it's pretty dry when you take this out of the tin
11:08
Now this is perfect for holding your hair up and it's also perfect for a little bit longer hair
11:13
like my sons to get it to stay to the side or have like a messy look and this actually
11:19
is pretty mad. So I really recommend this one for people who want a really strong hold all day with a completely
11:26
mad look
