I'm Joost and I'm here today with the uppercut clay versus the matte pomade
0:03
So they both have the cool uppercut design with the little boxes here, but of course it's about what's inside
0:07
So let's first look at the clay here. That's a very hard substance, it's quite hard to get out of the tin
0:14
And the matte pomade here is more of like a creamy substance that's more wet
0:19
So they both have a very matte look, but the hold on this clay is a lot better than that
0:24
on the cream, the matte pomade. This will give you a slightly wetter look that's perfect for messy hair
0:30
And this is perfect to mold your hair in any particular style that you want
0:34
Of course you can do a little messy, but I would recommend the cream for the matte pomade
0:38
for that. And if you really want to style your hair in a matte, very particular way, then I'd
0:43
recommend the clay here. Now the smell is also very different. The clay has a light minty smell that's very fresh
0:51
And the matte pomade here has a mocha smell. So it's a very outspoken, this one
0:57
And I don't think it's for everyone, but I really do like it. The Uppercut Deluxe Matte Pomade, and this really is something different
1:04
First the hold, it has a medium hold, so it keeps my hair up just a little bit, which
1:10
is more for like a little bit of a messy look. And then the smell, it smells very much like mocha, like a mocha cake
1:17
So that's certainly something different. It has the cool Uppercut branding here with the boxers, but of course it's about what's inside
1:25
And this is quite a creamy substance. The substance also reminds me of mocha and smells like mocha, of course
1:32
So what I like to do is to rub a little across my hands so it's evenly divided and I don't
1:36
get any lumps. And then go through my hair. I like my hair a little bit spiky
1:41
So this hold isn't the best for my look. It's more for like a messy look with a medium hold or a low hold, but it has no shine at all
1:50
So it's very good for those out of bed looks. That's a little bit more suited to the longer hair of my son, so I tested it on him as well
1:55
I like to push his hair a little to the side to make it just a little bit messy and it
1:59
doesn't get hard so you can go through it during the day. It's very easily moldable and even if you get a few little lumps, it will dry up in
2:06
your hair, making it to have a very matte finish. So I think this one is perfect for those who want something different, a different smell
2:12
very manly mocha smell with a matte finish and a light hold
2:16
This clay is really matte. It couldn't be more matte actually. Hi I'm Joost and I'm here today with the Uppercut Deluxe clay and this one also smells
2:26
quite nice. It's a little bit more rugged, more manly than the Uppercut Deluxe pomade and I actually
2:31
think that one smells a little bit better, but this is also very great
2:35
Now this one has 2 out of 10 on shine and 8 out of 10 on hold
2:41
So it holds very, very well. It's very sturdy and you can mold it into place any way you want it
2:48
So I just use a little on top and then a little bit extra on the sides and back for
2:54
my hair. And it's perfect for thin hair like I have or a little bit longer like my son's
2:59
As you can see the hold on my hair is pretty strong
3:04
So this is for like an out of bed look. Now the smell is like a strong manly smell
3:09
It's a little bit more manly than like a Metro Man than you get from the Uppercut Deluxe pomade
3:14
That's more like a coconutty vanilla smell and this is more like an earthy smell
3:20
You only need just a little bit to do your hair. I just did my own and my son's
3:25
And I think this is perfect to use on your hair if you have thin hair just to get it
3:30
to stand up or like my son, his hair is a little bit longer and you can really make
3:36
sure that the hair stays to the side. Now you just need to warm a little in your hand and then rub that all over your hands
3:42
so you can make sure that there's not a big lump somewhere in your hair
3:48
Just at one place. Now you can wash this off pretty easily with any kind of shampoo
3:53
So that's quite nice. And because of the smell and the hold I really recommend this to anyone who wants that matte look
