I'm Joost van de Meer with the Suavecito Firm Clay versus the Slick Gorilla Clay Pomade
0:06
And there are a few differences here. The Slick Gorilla Clay Pomade is a little bit tougher than the Suavecito Pomade which
0:15
is also pretty hard but just a little bit softer. And the smell, well this smells more like a regular sea breezy kind of gel smell
0:27
And this is really very very earthy. So let's take a closer look at each of these
0:31
You have to love the style here with this little skeleton with an Elvis like coif here
0:37
And it looks amazing. Hi, I'm Joost and I'm here today with the Suavecito Strong Clay and it really is strong clay
0:43
It holds my hair up pretty well and I like my hair up. And the advantage here is that it's pretty matte
0:49
There isn't any shine at all which means my hair can be a little bit browner than black
0:55
which it gets when I get like a wet pomade or a gel in there
1:00
And it actually really smells really good. I think with this in your hair you almost don't have to wear any cologne or aftershave
1:11
because this already gives off a nice little scent here. Now this has a completely matte finish and adds a ton of texture which is perfect for
1:19
my short hair. And I like it up and to stay up all day
1:22
I can also go through my hair during the day without having to reapply anything
1:26
Now if you want to apply this, take out a little and warm that in your hands
1:31
Then just rub it across your hands a few times. And then you can apply that all over your hair
1:36
I usually take just a little bit and then just a little bit more to do like the edges
1:40
of my hair. You can see I've done my son and myself with this and just a little bit of product is left
1:46
in the jar and the rest is still in there. So you only need a tiny bit here
1:50
This has one of my favorite smells. So my wife always says she really loves this one
1:54
And the cool thing is you can wash this out with almost any shampoo so it doesn't leave
1:59
any residue and it leaves you with a blank canvas to sculpt your hair in any way you
2:04
want again. Now this is the clay one, not the traditional pomade which means it's more textured and
2:09
better for short hair. And the strong hold pomade is more for like neat and curly hair
2:14
I haven't experienced any loss of hold during the day and this lasts me all day, like 24
2:20
hours from the time I get up and go to work to when I go to a club to go out
2:24
Although it does come off pretty easily if you take off your shirt over your head
2:29
Then you might need to reapply again during the day. It's one of the best matte finishes I've tried
2:34
I'm Joost and I'm here today with Slik Gorilla Clay Pomade and it really has a strong hold
2:39
and also a little bit of shine to it. It's like a hard clay when it comes out of the tin but it smells and feels more like
2:47
almost a gel than other clays that I've used and it's also not a matte clay but it does
2:54
have a really firm hold. This can hold my hair in place all day but it's not as good for going with your hands
3:01
through your hair during the day and molding it back into place. It doesn't have like a hard texture like with some gels so it's not like your hair is getting
3:12
crispy at all but it really is more like a shiny pomade
3:16
It's a little bit harder than some of the other clays I've tested
3:22
You can see you really have to rub your hands across the surface of this just to get a little
3:27
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
3:33
a gel smell. And so it's a little bit more gel like than some of the other pomades I've tried like
3:39
the Shiner Gold, the Layrite or the Uppercut Deluxe. They're all more like this Metro Man kind of coconut vanilla smell
3:46
This is more like a regular gel smell. And the way I use this is I rub across the surface of the clay and then take out just
3:55
a little and then rub that all over my hands and then I just apply a little bit to my hair
4:02
and make sure there aren't any big lumps anywhere on my hand so it's spread out evenly and then
4:07
I just take a little more and use that on the back and sides of my hair just to make
4:12
sure that they hold into place. Now I like my hair up and spiky and this is really like a firm hold and wet kind of
4:20
look not a matte and out of bed kind of look. So this is not really for making a messy type of hairstyle but more well like the slick
4:30
style where every hair is meticulously placed. Now this is also perfect for a little bit longer hair to make that to stand to the side
4:38
or maybe a slick back look like with my son's hair so that can hold in place during the
4:43
day all day. So I really recommend this one for someone who wants a more wet look without like the
4:48
crunch of a traditional type of hair gel because your hair will stay soft with this one
