I get where you're coming from, but as you said the styling cream works MUCH differently on people with fine hair like me. It's actually pretty amazing for me with zero tug and actually holds my style.
I have super-fine, dead-straight hair, and I just wanted to add my perspective after buying some of this myself. I find the consistency fine, and it's easy to work in my hair with zero tug. The problem is, the advertised "insane" hold is really only very moderate, and my hair (which I wear mostly slicked back) is already starting to flop back down after just an hour or two, even after two applications. I was fine with the minty scent--if I wanted to smell like cologne, I'd put on cologne. I liked the matte sheen level; it was almost perfect. But I won't be buying this product again because the hold simply isn't strong enough. Thanks for the review, though, TDM!
You seem to be the only hair/style youtuber, who doesn't shy away from saying something critical about the products they "review". Please stay that way, it's such a refreshing difference to the rest.
My trusty guys when it comes to reviews. Always take your reviews into considerations before buying a product, and never disappoints. Even though I have fine wavy hair, your recommendations are always on point. I am into beardcare products too, and would be epic If you do some reviews of the beard oils o the game, there are some great scents out there.
Love 👏 the 👏 hair 👏👏👏 I know you haven't gotten salon color in a while but your natural hair color looks great with the remains of your color that are more like highlights now. Another great video!!!
Hello Matt ! As always an amazing review! I really like all your reviews and you always help me to choose my next product, since I have a very similar hair type. But hey can you review the flagship texturizing cream and matte paste from their streamline? I’ve seen very good comments, but I would really like to know your thoughts on those ones.
Man I’ve tried over 50 hair products and the pomade finally has worked for me. It does tug a little but I was looking for super strong hold so this worked. I like that you can mess with it throughout the day too. So far this and blumaan clay are the only ones that give me what I’m looking for. I have thick puffy hair so I do need that super hold
Advice, for the cream or pomade after your emulsify, add a few drops of argan oil to cocktail that in. It makes a difference with working the product through hair and reduces the dryness.
I gotta tell you. I am not the male demographic, nor do I use this type of stuff for my hair. But I find your videos ultra informative anyway and I LOVE your humor. You're hilarious, you're handsome, you enjoy craft beer, and I love your videos with your wife. Especially your shade videos that you read with her. Addition: Oh bonus, my husband does IT as well, and his job has been the same level of exhausting I think as yours. I'm a regional manager for 5 different offices around our small state, and while I don't have to procure the tech for anyone, I've fielded a LOT of phone calls about how to set the tech up, how to download Skype or Teams, is Zoom ok?, how to turn on the webcam for video calls, how to teach a Boomer that is fine with the computer but has never used "Smart tech" in their life and was provided an iPhone and iPad (because we ran out of laptops) and how to teach that over the phone...
Well I appreciate you watching and I’m so glad you enjoy my videos ☺️ These types of comments make my day. And ohh yeah, I can relate to those tech scenarios big time haha!
holy shit, Matt. That application looked brutal, you’re so brave trying these type of things, I would not be able to last an hour with it in my hair. One of the reasons I am over the moon with Hustle is its application is the complete opposite of this.
Cheers Alan! I briefly thought about that, but figured that with how quickly it sets that adding a blow drier to the mix might make it worse, so I was too chicken to try it lol
@@TDMStyle totally up to you man. Just an idea I though you could try. Sometimes It works with this kind of products... others not so much I guess. Cheers!
Thanks Matt, you just saved me money. My hair is like yours so I can already see that this won’t work for me. Besides, I’m still in the honeymoon phase with the Dauntless Tribute I just got.
You should review the new American Gardens, it's a fantastic product! And I hope you'll review Cornerstone as well. Maybe that one first since I see you already have it ;)
Definitely Cornerstone is coming soon! And I've been meaning to pick up a few things from SR, including American Gardens. So that order may happen today ;)
@@TDMStyle some products doesn't work well without prestyler... Maybe its in this case. For expample Phantasm from Lockharts and MMTV like prestyler too.
I have, and they are wildly different than these. Scheme Cream is very smooth, light hold with natural shine. Modify Pomade is like a medium hold standard gel-type pomade.
Oof man, tough choice indeed. I guess at this point I'd go with Moroccanoil shampoo/conditioner set, 25 spray from TheSalonGuy as my pre-styler, annndd... hmm. Some type of clay post-styler... I can't decide! Probably either Fuertes, Hustle, or Earth Made I suppose. Oasis maybe? I just love them all too much lmao!
What would you recommend for medium to long Asian hair? My hair is thick, long and straight. I usually keep it short on the sides and let the middle grow so I set it to the side kinda like yours. I need something that holds the hair and keep the volume without being so harsh on the hair. Please help. Thanks!
Definitely recommend: Earth Made clay pomade, Stickmore clay fiber (or styling cream if you want something stronger and drier), Crafted matte paste, or Oasis clay from Templeton!
Do you recommend this cream on super straight hair already use quicksand and claymation but it not work the hair fall after 1 hour i want it slick back
If you want a slick back I would suggest going with a pomade. The cream is VERY dry and generally speaking, dry products are not really meant for that type of style.
So does their hand sanitizer that they sell. Whatever you do don’t buy it. The santizer makes your hands sticky and less clean and leaves your hands with residue. What a bullshit
Man you’re videos make me laugh. Think I’ll give these a miss. You’d like to think with a brand new formulation from an established brand it would be on point. Doesn’t seem that way with this sister! I had the same high hopes with wrecking ball from ByVilain, but that was disappointing too.
Hmm well Stickmore cream I feel is lighter and stronger hold, but also drier and a bit harder to apply. Northern Lights has more of soft natural feel in the hair with less hold.
TDM Style just ordered mine the other day, super pumped. Have you had the chance to combo it with tribute? Or earth made, might pick that clay up after my oasis clay runs out
Haha right? Ivor's stuff, I have Anarclay but that is the only one I've tried so far. And come to think of it I only tried it once or twice so I need to go back and give that one a proper look.
@@TDMStyle Cool! I've heard good things about Anarclay but I think it might be too much hold for me. Given the fairly low visibility that he has, I reckon a review would probably not be very likely? Anyway, I recently got Claymor and I think you'll love it. Soft, malleable cream that has low-medium hold but very nice control. I think it'd work great for the flowy hairstyle you rock.
I guess my main thing that is a bit tough with Ivor's is the lack of availability. I don't think he really sells anywhere outside of EP right? I have a hard time finding his stuff haha
@@TDMStyle I think you're right, only available through EP. I've never seen a proper listing of his stuff too, I think that's only available through DM.
Also some food for thought: Maybe part of the reason I like TheSalonGuy products so much is that they're professional salon quality things that work well, don't painfully rip my hair out, and also don't make my hair feel like tangled straw. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is by far of of my favorite reviews from you. "but man, bitch is still dry and tangley" LOL. Think I'm gonna give the styling cream a try, I prefer sticky/dry type products, the best I've found is Hairbond Mattifier, but can't get it locally anymore here In Canada. Been using Blumaan Cavalier Clay for a few years now, but they recently reformulated it...and it really sucks. It doesn't breakdown in your hands properly, so it ends up leaving a lot of little almost like dandruff-like looking bits in your hair. I don't know what it's lacking now that it had before, but it doesn't work nearly as well as it used to. Won't be buying again
Hmm interesting, I had no idea about the Blumaan reformulation. Sounds... bad lol. If you want a strong dry product, I'd recommend Stickmore Styling Cream over the HDF one for sure.
@hij since u seem to own both stickmore and crafted, could u compare those too real quick? i got the stickmore cream and thinking about buying crafted clay~
I get where you're coming from, but as you said the styling cream works MUCH differently on people with fine hair like me. It's actually pretty amazing for me with zero tug and actually holds my style.
Good to know, thanks!
@@TDMStyle What's the best water based cream I can use for thick hair, I want it to feel soft and not greasy or or hard
I have super-fine, dead-straight hair, and I just wanted to add my perspective after buying some of this myself. I find the consistency fine, and it's easy to work in my hair with zero tug.

I think its because the 90s had those huge jars of gel or styling stuff
Yeah that makes sense.

That "mmMmm" after "Complete submission!" killed me.
I like this product more than clays tbh
Is this better than claymation?
holy shit, Matt. That application looked brutal, you’re so brave trying these type of things, I would not be able to last an hour with it in my hair. One of the reasons I am over the moon with Hustle is its application is the complete opposite of this.
Yeah it was pretty painful for sure 😖 Exactly why I love Hustle. Buttery smooth application and still a solid medium hold
Man maybe could you try the styling cream as a prestyler to see what happens.
Keep up stay healhty and get that much deserved rest ✌🏼
Cheers Alan! I briefly thought about that, but figured that with how quickly it sets that adding a blow drier to the mix might make it worse, so I was too chicken to try it lol

Hi bro...could you please do hair care routine videos too.....
Saludos desde Perú parcero. Tus vídeos me ayudan mucho a cómo lucir mi peinado y qué cuidados tener con nuestro cabello. Eres un crack parce.
what wax/clay do you thing the best for now for wavy and thick hair?
Great video man
Also
PLEASE REVIEW CORNER STONE
Definitely!
Thanks Matt, you just saved me money. My hair is like yours so I can already see that this won’t work for me. Besides, I’m still in the honeymoon phase with the Dauntless Tribute I just got.
Cheers man thanks for watching! Glad it helped out.
What’s the best matte strong hold product u recommend?
Can you do the review for mister pomadour beeswax
Vinoth Kumar I wouldn’t recommend that company as they used (or maybe still use) white-label formulas.
You should review the new American Gardens, it's a fantastic product! And I hope you'll review Cornerstone as well. Maybe that one first since I see you already have it ;)
Definitely Cornerstone is coming soon! And I've been meaning to pick up a few things from SR, including American Gardens. So that order may happen today ;)
Enigma Review, Blackwater Review, potentially Cornerstone Review? Cheers !
Mayby it works with damp hair, or even comb must be wet...?
Maybe, but my hair gets reset to its natural curly state when it’s wet, so that is not an option for me.
@@TDMStyle some products doesn't work well without prestyler... Maybe its in this case. For expample Phantasm from Lockharts and MMTV like prestyler too.
True. But for this stuff, even after prestyling with smoothing product, it was still hella dry and brutal.
Have you tried the hanz de fuko modify pomade and scheme cream? If yes could you say if they were similar and if they’re better or not thanks
I have, and they are wildly different than these. Scheme Cream is very smooth, light hold with natural shine. Modify Pomade is like a medium hold standard gel-type pomade.
@@TDMStyle thanks for the reply! I tried both of the hanz de fuko products mentioned. Which would you say is better Two ton or HDF?
Matt!! Stay safe bro and big love from Croatia❤✌💪🙏
Cheers Luka!
EYYYYYY I use that same comb! haha, I carry it with me everywhere.....
Haha yeah it's a good one!
of all the products youve reviewed which 3 would you use for the rest of your life, if you couldnt use anything else?
Oof man, tough choice indeed. I guess at this point I'd go with Moroccanoil shampoo/conditioner set, 25 spray from TheSalonGuy as my pre-styler, annndd... hmm. Some type of clay post-styler...

I almost felt that knot in the back you zoomed in on 😰😰
Oof man it hurt like a bastard lol
Hey Matt what are your favorite clays
Hard to choose, but some of my faves lately include: Fuertes, Earth Made, Hustle, Oasis, Stickmore, and Clutch!
TDM Style I’m thinking about getting either shear revival matte paste or the Stickmore creme which would you suggest
Hmm well Stickmore cream I feel is lighter and stronger hold, but also drier and a bit harder to apply. Northern Lights has more of soft natural feel in the hair with less hold.
TDM Style ok thanks and any suggestions for prestyler besides 25 spray?
No way I'm gonna use this! I have thin hair and I valued my hair!
Hell of a review Matt. I miss when the scent does not make you go FUUUUUUUUCKKKK.
Thanks! And same haha
Had the same experience with The Clutch, too dry to even apply.
Sorry to hear. I didn’t have that problem with Clutch at all.
TDM Style do the products work better if ur sponsored? We should all get sponsored so we have success with salon guy products
@@Liljohnaye lol I think it's just different hair types. A lot of ppl liked the Clutch.
Can u do dove hair products.
Def want to cover some of their stuff in a future Budget Stuff episode!
Have you had a chance to try cornerstone?
Just tried it for the first time yesterday. Tits!
TDM Style just ordered mine the other day, super pumped. Have you had the chance to combo it with tribute? Or earth made, might pick that clay up after my oasis clay runs out
They’re my favorite products lol
Man, not getting higher up on the PR list with this review for sure... :p
Side question: Have you tried any of the Ivor's Brews product?

Yeah f*** hanz de fuko after this one i was about to buy these too. If only hanz knew they just lost a sale now cuz i saw this

Haha it certainly was a bit 😬
Lmao =))~
Never use Byvilain & Hanz de Fuko again in my life. The worsest of the worst

hij and so on and so on
huhndaking777 styling cream is dryer and has more hold. Application is easier with Crafted Clay.
Good burp
No bueno
complete submission, mmmmmmmm
😂
Copy paste of quicksand, just smooth consistency 😅
Yeah pretty much the same experience for me.
It seems like a better version of qs with higher hold and more sticky
