Hey all, I meant to mention in the video what my process was for testing in terms of prestyling etc but just plain forgot! So if you're wondering, as I was testing these, I only prestyled with a bit of 25 Spray for smoothing/defrizz, blow dried, then applied the clay. I didn't use any prestylers to add extra hold, and also did not use any hair spray at the end.
I agree! Very detailed feedback in every category. I used claymation but had to use hairspray every time because the hold wasn't that great. My hair thickness is medium so heavy clays are a bit too heavy. I will definitely have to try clutch! Seems like the kinda clay I've been hoping to finally find somewhere. I have a question though.. Have you ever tried kevin murphy "rough rider"? No one ever does any reviews on it and it is apparently really good! Maybe you could review it :)
No we are not. If this or any of my videos were sponsored, I would be sure to make it clear. I purchased Clutch on my own to try it, and I always give my honest opinion for my videos, regardless of whether I’ve purchased the product(s) or have been sent them to review. I honestly just love his products, because they work very well for me.
Hmm intresting video I found clutch clay too be really like mehh not so good well at least for my hair type I have thick hard too control hair but I'm sticking with cavalier in my opinion it has the best hold for my hairtype.
Nice man. Thanks for the video! About the longevity, I would say you should use in similar weather days. The more humid day, less longevity. And we could see that Clutch was in the sunniest day.
Thanks! I agree, but this video was shot in winter so there was definitely no humidity on any of those days haha. Sunny yes, but it was cold and windy lol. All 3 days most of my time was spent indoors.
I have thick and rather course hair and I found clutch to be rather sticky and dry when I was breaking it down and applying it to my hair, it kinda felt like the ORIGINAL Original By Blumaan (Black). Thought it was going to be a little creamier and easier to apply but turns out its the opposite, I couldn't really distribute the product evenly throughout my hair due to it being way too sticky and dry. I have both Claymation & Cavalier clays as well and in my opinion Clutch feels stickier and drier than both of them.. kinda disappointed :/
Sorry to hear. I’ve found it can seem a bit sticky/dry if I’m applying it to bone-dry hair with nothing else in it, if my hair is having one of its coarser-feeling days. You might have an easier time if you try applying some kind of anti-frizz or smoothing serum as a prestyler before blowdrying, then add Clutch.
I used 25 Spray as a prestyler, like how Matt did and it felt dry. But I would try using a slightly oiler prestyler like PM's Super Skinny Serum and see if it works out!
Ryan Ng ok. I really need to see pics of your actual hair type man. 25 Spray, 3-4 pumps, literally transforms and reconstructs your hair so it is almost impossible to make it dry. I have Plush which is my serum for smoothing. If you have coarse, wavy, frizzy or curly hair clutch wouldn’t be my choice of product UNLESS you blow dry it fully straight/smooth first, then apply it. This is where advice from a stylist can help. Dm me pics of your hair on Instagram.
TDM, I wish I watched your video before buying. Had Claymation and recently purchased Cavalier Clay and regretting. So much tug and pull when applying even with heavy emulsification. I am trying Clutch next once I am done with this deathly product. Thanks!
Awesome review ma dude! I love how descriptive you got and how many categories u put into this review! Also can u do a comparing vid on 25 spray and original by blumaan?
this is just biased, i evaluate the price when i looked at the ingredients, clutch clay just have 1 oil component, the hold is not that great, this’s just biased
If you watch the whole video the styling results speak for themselves. That’s not bias, Clutch just outright works way better for my hair type than the other two. 🤷🏻♂️
Nailed the description- Baxter and Clutch have similar waxy feel and ways they hold. They're both frm hold in the light-medium-firm-heavy spectrum. Cavalier is the heaviest best holding clay in the market tho, which is why it's so sought after!
Luke In terms of hold, I don't think you need a super heavy thing. I have very thick hair, and personally, I can do pretty good build ups from the Flagship clay, which is labelled as a firm.
Just subscribed to your channel.. I like your content and the way you clearly review these hair products.. just received CLUTCH CLAY and I’m gonna give it a try.. many thanks 👍🏻
You can tell that this review had some backdoor bias.He gave every single point to clutch. Clutch isn’t even a clay....it’s more of a waxy pomade. Because it’s not a clay of course it’s easier to pull out, work into your hands, and work into your hands. Also, clays don’t work for everyone mostly because clays are meant for thick hair, not fine/thin hair or normal hair
It's not a waxy pomade at all. Pomades are designed to give shine and this has NO shine and a wax leaves the hair feeling greasy and tangled. CLUTCH does neither. I have tested this on all hair types. Super fine hair I may choose a different product of mine such as Talc or Talc Spray, but because it doesn't leave your hair greasy or oily it works well on most hair types if not all.
It’s not biased, these are my honest opinions. I also literally stated at the end of the video that I’m not calling the other two “bad” - Clutch is just straight up better. And if it wasn’t a clay, it wouldn’t be called a clay. Stephen is a professional and obviously knows how to label his own products.
Good point, Reid, about the pomade-like aspect of the product. Looking at the ingredients, Kaolin clay is a less significant ingredient than the petrolatum (?!) and wax/oil content. This petro & waxy water-based product definitely would have a hard time having the true matte/dry shine level of a dry clay, which is totally ok. Definitely see that clay like aspect too. Interesting product that sits in both categories.
TDM Style it's barely a clay dude.. kaolin clay is the only clay used and it's like 7th or 8th on the ingredients list. I have a feeling you may be trying to become an ambassador for the salon guy. You have to have a little more than just a sprinkle of clay in your product to be calling this shit a clay killer lmao
Also, I didn’t mean to say “work into your hands” twice. What I wanted to say “work into your hands and obviously easier to work into your hair.” I don’t mean to disrespect the salon guy at all for what he does....I do watch his videos. I just can’t help to get over that a clay is supposed to be harder to mix with your hands and put into your hair. Having it super creamy and light (in my mind) kinda seems shady. Clays are supposed to be heavy because it’s designed for thicker hair. Thicker hair can actually maintain the heaviness of the product. If you put a clay product in like say....thin/fine hair, the product would weigh down the hair. And if you used a very light product on thicker hair, the thicker hair wouldn’t maintain because it’s a lighter product that wouldn’t have a good hold on the hair. Finally, the reason why I say “backdoor bias” is because it just so happens that Clutch gets the point every single time. Knowing that all these products are renown with their popularity and perfectionism, there’s no way that one singular product has a landslide of a victory.All these products are really good and basically evenly matched. I know this a review and obviously people who will make future videos showing this product battle, but people will have different opinions. This is just my opinion. I hope this brings up healthy discussions in the comments
Ngl you're the only one that prefers clutch over claymation and blumaan. And BTW, have you ever smelt playdoh? Because Cavalier and Claymation smell nothing like that.
🙄 As I have said several times, this video is not sponsored. If a video is sponsored, the FTC requires this to be made extremely clear and stated outright within the video in order to comply with guidelines and for obvious legal reasons. If I do a sponsored video, you will know. I’m not about to break FTC laws.
To be honest Clutch didn't really work for me. I wouldn't get much hold from it I'd always have hair's falling and I got quite a bit of shine from it. And the smell to me just smelled like alcohol. My favorite things about it was the texture and it made my hair soft and it also washed out easy. Other than that I didn't enjoy it. ☹️
Jacob Gutierrez sorry to hear that. The scent is a whiskey, tobacco fragrance. I’m surprised to hear about the shine as 100% of the people I’ve used it on and tested I saw no shine. Sorry again. Are you applying it in fully dry hair, on its own?
@@TDMStyle yes I saw you did in many of your review videos. This one is great too. But there is no separate video on clutch clay .You have one on clutch xl but no point on ingredients. Just wanted to know your opinion before buying it
Hard to say, they are all very different from one another. Clutch I feel gives me a very consistent result so I always know I can count on it. Fuertes keeps my hair nice and soft, while Rough Rider is more along the lines of a traditional heavy clay. All are great in their own way!
Hey Matt, just curious have you tried the Clutch XL yet? I've ordered both but having thicker hair I'm assuming the XL will hold my hair type in place better.
I have tried Arcadian, Dead Sea, Daimon Barber, First Hand Supply, and Jack Henry. Personally, I have found that the only clay that gives me the hold I want is Baxters (well, Jack Henry has great hold, but the washout is tough). How does Clutch compare to Baxters?
I’m a big fan of Baxter’s clay as well, and honestly for me Clutch still outperforms it. I find Clutch to have a similar hold level (higher if you layer it in), more of a matte finish, and washes out way more easily.
This man clearly cheated out cavalier and claymation. It's stupid that he gave a point to clutch for scoop and breakdown because all of those 3 clays are heavy clays and they are supposed to be firm. Cavalier and claymation are firm and clutch isn't so he should've gave the point to either cavalier or claymation. And there is no way that a clay that is supposed to be similar to another that he is reviewing destroys its opponents. PATHETIC.
Not true for me. I use the same amount of Clutch that I would Cav for the same result in terms of hold. Same price and Clutch has an extra ounce of product.
I used Blumaan cavilier clay and it worked well for me but I got dandruff because of that. My hairs are also getting weak and falling because of that. Idk if its only me or it happened with others as well.
Hmm. Cavalier is a very oily clay so it's odd that it would cause dandruff. You may want to look into the shampoo and conditioner that you're using, and that is more likely what is drying out your scalp.
Hey man. Nice video and great channel btw. Quick question for ya: I have super thick coarse hair and I often find that oil based pomades work best for me because I don't really like products that dry super hard/crunchy or are too matte. The only downside with that, of course, is they aren't as easy to wash out. I was wondering, do you have a go-to shampoo that you use that's great at getting rid of oil-based product residue? Thanks.
Thanks! My go-to are the Moroccanoil Repair shampoo and conditioner - gets my hair squeaky clean but leaves it feeling very soft and moisturized. I also really like TheSalonGuy’s Clean and Condition set.
I have fine hair and use claymation, it holds all day long. I barley have to fix it through out the day. But later this week i’m getting original and hybrid by blumaan in the mail, can’t wait to test these out together. Have you tried these two together, if so did it work well?
If you like Clutch but just want stronger hold you can try the XL version. Otherwise there are lots of other good clays out there depending on what you are looking for.
Clutch isn’t quite as soft in the hair as Fuertes - it’s a bit stickier/drier and has a stronger hold. His new Hustle clay is soft though. And yes 25 spray absolutely destroys Super Skinny
Not really gave Cavalier a chance though, imo your hairstyle with it was not the best with way too much product. Furthermore i actually can't believe that clutch with it's creamy texture has a better longevity/hold than the other two... no hate here, just my opinion
No worries, I respect the feedback man! Honestly though I only used one small fingertip of Cavalier that day, and it still ended up looking like I had way more in there. Truth be told, when I first tried Clutch I thought exactly the same, like “no way this will have a high hold” because it felt so light and creamy. But no joke man, it works amazing. In terms of hold and lightness, you can _kind of_ compare it to Original by Blumaan, in that it provides a high hold with a surprisingly light product.
Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you liked the video! As far as Quicksand though, it is totally different from Clutch. Quicksand is essentially a jar of diatomaceous earth and honestly makes my hair feel like a dry tangled rat’s nest. No shade either, just the honest truth. That stuff just does not work well for me at all, and it is vastly different from Clutch.
TDM Style for you quicksand is like that for me its a god send. I have super oily, fine hair and it rips away the oil and it allows me to go days for I have to shampoo my hair. Its one of the most unique products I've ever seen. I haven't found anything quite like it. It does wonders for texture as I have bone straight hair and the hold is exceptional just enough to hold everything. The only gripe I have is the smell and beachy feel.
Well I definitely recommend it! I know Stephen has tested it on clients with several different hair types before releasing it so it should be good for a lot of people.
No, “this guy” is not being paid. I don’t do sponsored reviews because in my opinion a “paid review” is not a review, it’s an advert. If you’ve watched my other videos you would know that I’m always honest and forthcoming. I just happen to actually like Clutch a lot because in my opinion it’s a fantastic product and it works very well for me. That doesn’t make me biased. You watch reviews for the reviewer’s opinions on the product, and that’s what you got here. Not to mention the fact that doing a sponsored video without making it inherently clear is a violation of FTC guidelines. If and when I ever do sponsored videos, it will be VERY clear.
You gave 2 points to smell and box shape, those are totally subjective, when you give one point to a subjective issue and then give a point, same amount, to objective issues like hold, finish and so on i just can't take your criticism seriously. You brought and old blumaan box that is no longer branded as such and you compare it to your subjective preferences like "classic tin can look" and you call it a clay killer. Im sorry but giving so many points while you compare outdated branding and giving Same amount of points to minor issues and main issues don't happen that often, it smells fishy to me. Sorry but... Your Unubscribed..
The Blumaan branding now is exactly the same materials, just with different imaging and stickers. Not exactly a major point of contention, especially when in the same breath you’re trying to tell me that I shouldn’t have given so many points (which was ONE by the way) to packaging. In case you didn’t actually watch the video, I specifically mentioned that packaging and scent were both aesthetic categories which have no bearing on the performance of the product itself. As far as the whole “clay killer” name - that’s what Clutch was being marketed as by the brand. I didn’t make up the name, and this was also mentioned in the video, which apparently you didn’t hear either. In case you haven’t noticed, reviews of anything are subjective. That’s why different reviewers have different opinions on products based on their unique experiences due to their hair type etc etc. Sure, the point system could use some work to be more balanced. But you’re gonna unsub because you watched an old video of mine and are salty that I didn’t have the Blumaan packaging that is available now? Give me a fucking break. And by the way, your means your. You’re means you are. 🙄
I just bought Cavalier Heavy Clay and it's fucking awesome! I've been having trouble with hold even with hair spray but with Blumaan I don't even need hair spray. It is difficult to apply but it kind of compensates since you can spend less time styling since THE HOLD IS SO GOOD! And the part about Clutch looking good even after sleeping. I get that with Blumaan! I have the most thickest straightest hairtype, East-Asian and its perfect! And no, I don't need shampoo to get it out... Comes out easy.
Lol bruh, Clutch is _literally_ from a custom boutique line that he developed himself. And I can tell you honestly, with all the products I’ve tested, nothing is even remotely similar to this.
TDM Style lol all of the products from his old line were white label, even when he said he created them. So it's hard to trust it. :p I'm just trolling though, it's obviously not your fault lol.
Will Brandon I’ve explained how my first manufacturer said my products were exclusive to me to then find out they were making the same for 3-4 other lines which is why I’ve moved on to working with new ones.
c4p4citador This is not sponsored. If it was, I would tell my viewers (not to mention it would be REQUIRED for me to tell my viewers by FTC regulations). God forbid somebody likes a product on their own 🙄

I agree! Very detailed feedback in every category. I used claymation but had to use hairspray every time because the hold wasn't that great. My hair thickness is medium so heavy clays are a bit too heavy. I will definitely have to try clutch! Seems like the kinda clay I've been hoping to finally find somewhere.
I have a question though.. Have you ever tried kevin murphy "rough rider"? No one ever does any reviews on it and it is apparently really good! Maybe you could review it :)
Glad you liked it! I think Clutch will work great for you. I haven’t tried any Kevin Murphy stuff yet, but they are on my to-do list :)
You're awesome ☺️👍
For acting?😂😂
Paid for by Clutch.
Are you and the salon guy working together? Not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious.
pmoore8230 of course they are..... CLEARLY.
SweatyMonkey no were are not I would know. He’s just a good guy giving his honest opinion. God forbid he likes something new for a change.
No we are not. If this or any of my videos were sponsored, I would be sure to make it clear.

Lol, is obviously
@@pereiraplaza222 I doubt it, legally they'd have to disclose that info
Hmm intresting video I found clutch clay too be really like mehh not so good well at least for my hair type I have thick hard too control hair but I'm sticking with cavalier in my opinion it has the best hold for my hairtype.
clutch did absolutely not work for me i got to try cavalier out
Very good job! Triple brand battle:) Longevity and second day , good comparisons. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it 🙏🏻
Man this is the type of video I have been waiting for. At the end of the day I am sticking with Cavalier over Claymation due to hold factor.
I’m glad you liked it!
Nice man. Thanks for the video!
About the longevity, I would say you should use in similar weather days. The more humid day, less longevity. And we could see that Clutch was in the sunniest day.

I hope Clutch works out better for you!
Did you try it? how was it?
Man I gotta try this Clutch stuff. Thanks for the review Matt!
Thanks for watching! Definitely give it a try man, it’s worth it!
Awesome review ma dude! I love how descriptive you got and how many categories u put into this review! Also can u do a comparing vid on 25 spray and original by blumaan?
Thanks! Though 25 and Original are extremely different products so you really can’t compare the two.
this is just biased, i evaluate the price when i looked at the ingredients, clutch clay just have 1 oil component, the hold is not that great, this’s just biased
If you watch the whole video the styling results speak for themselves. That’s not bias, Clutch just outright works way better for my hair type than the other two. 🤷🏻♂️
If you were to chose any 1 among these 3 which would you choose & why?
I mean, that's literally the entire point of this video lol
if youre asian get clutch. works like a charm
I’m using clutch right now. I’m still experimenting with different amounts and prestylers but I’d say it’s very close with the Baxter clay.
For me Baxter gets oilier over time or if I use too much. Similar hold levels though!
Nailed the description- Baxter and Clutch have similar waxy feel and ways they hold. They're both frm hold in the light-medium-firm-heavy spectrum. Cavalier is the heaviest best holding clay in the market tho, which is why it's so sought after!
Luke In terms of hold, I don't think you need a super heavy thing. I have very thick hair, and personally, I can do pretty good build ups from the Flagship clay, which is labelled as a firm.
TDM Style I think Baxter is my go to for potential rain (since it’s not 100% water soluble)- but then again we don’t get much rain in California…
It doesn’t seem as pliable though for me, at least compared to the Baxter. Then again I’m still experimenting too.
Just subscribed to your channel.. I like your content and the way you clearly review these hair products.. just received CLUTCH CLAY and I’m gonna give it a try.. many thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it 🙏🏻 I hope you like Clutch!
From the first I am seeing that brother is a bit biased towards clutch
Loving these videos. You hit on all of the points that I want to know about. Succinct but not lacking in detail.
T S Thank you kindly! Happy to hear it.
You can tell that this review had some backdoor bias.He gave every single point to clutch. Clutch isn’t even a clay....it’s more of a waxy pomade. Because it’s not a clay of course it’s easier to pull out, work into your hands, and work into your hands.
Also, clays don’t work for everyone mostly because clays are meant for thick hair, not fine/thin hair or normal hair
It's not a waxy pomade at all. Pomades are designed to give shine and this has NO shine and a wax leaves the hair feeling greasy and tangled. CLUTCH does neither. I have tested this on all hair types. Super fine hair I may choose a different product of mine such as Talc or Talc Spray, but because it doesn't leave your hair greasy or oily it works well on most hair types if not all.
It’s not biased, these are my honest opinions. I also literally stated at the end of the video that I’m not calling the other two “bad” - Clutch is just straight up better. And if it wasn’t a clay, it wouldn’t be called a clay. Stephen is a professional and obviously knows how to label his own products.
Good point, Reid, about the pomade-like aspect of the product. Looking at the ingredients, Kaolin clay is a less significant ingredient than the petrolatum (?!) and wax/oil content. This petro & waxy water-based product definitely would have a hard time having the true matte/dry shine level of a dry clay, which is totally ok. Definitely see that clay like aspect too. Interesting product that sits in both categories.
TDM Style it's barely a clay dude.. kaolin clay is the only clay used and it's like 7th or 8th on the ingredients list. I have a feeling you may be trying to become an ambassador for the salon guy. You have to have a little more than just a sprinkle of clay in your product to be calling this shit a clay killer lmao
Also, I didn’t mean to say “work into your hands” twice. What I wanted to say “work into your hands and obviously easier to work into your hair.”
I don’t mean to disrespect the salon guy at all for what he does....I do watch his videos. I just can’t help to get over that a clay is supposed to be harder to mix with your hands and put into your hair. Having it super creamy and light (in my mind) kinda seems shady.

i think you get the most volume with claymation.
Nah. I styled it up high that day but you can see how much it dropped by the evening.
TDM Style it didn't drop that much right?
It dropped considerably. Check out the middle section of the video where I demo each product.
great review man!
Thanks!
What is the strongest highest hold hair product you have on your collection?
I had my little sister smell Cavalier and she said it smelled like Play-Doh too 😂😂😂
Ngl you're the only one that prefers clutch over claymation and blumaan.
And BTW, have you ever smelt playdoh? Because Cavalier and Claymation smell nothing like that.

TheSalonGuy Yeah I fully blow dryed my hair when I applied the product.
Get Cavalier Blumaan!!!!!
You should also review ingredients.
That's the most important part in any hair product
I do in my normal reviews. It’s hard to do in these comparison style videos as far as awarding points.
@@TDMStyle yes I saw you did in many of your review videos.
This one is great too.
But there is no separate video on clutch clay .You have one on clutch xl but no point on ingredients.
Just wanted to know your opinion before buying it
Omg I still haven’t watched it! But I’m hyped! I’m the 1st viewer btw
I think hanz de fuko claymation is the Best!!! I tried so many but claymation is really the smoothest and best hold
Saying that cavalier smells like playdoo makes me think twice about scents reviewed by this channel
Dude it absolutely smells like playdoh
probably sponsored by Cluth.
Which provided more texture? Clutch or cavalier?
Hey Matt,
Thanks for the review!
Would you recommend Clutch over Rough.Rider, Lockhart's Matte Clay and Fuertes Styling Clay?
Hard to say, they are all very different from one another. Clutch I feel gives me a very consistent result so I always know I can count on it. Fuertes keeps my hair nice and soft, while Rough Rider is more along the lines of a traditional heavy clay. All are great in their own way!
Hey keep up the great vids! You had mentioned that you liked the Stickmore company...I saw that their clay fiber is out. Can you review it?
Definitely! Just got it the mail 😉
Hey Matt, just curious have you tried the Clutch XL yet? I've ordered both but having thicker hair I'm assuming the XL will hold my hair type in place better.
Sure have! Been testing it for a while. Review coming soon 😉
I have tried Arcadian, Dead Sea, Daimon Barber, First Hand Supply, and Jack Henry. Personally, I have found that the only clay that gives me the hold I want is Baxters (well, Jack Henry has great hold, but the washout is tough). How does Clutch compare to Baxters?
I’m a big fan of Baxter’s clay as well, and honestly for me Clutch still outperforms it. I find Clutch to have a similar hold level (higher if you layer it in), more of a matte finish, and washes out way more easily.
Is it good for fine straight hair?!
I think it would work great 👍🏻
This man clearly cheated out cavalier and claymation. It's stupid that he gave a point to clutch for scoop and breakdown because all of those 3 clays are heavy clays and they are supposed to be firm. Cavalier and claymation are firm and clutch isn't so he should've gave the point to either cavalier or claymation. And there is no way that a clay that is supposed to be similar to another that he is reviewing destroys its opponents. PATHETIC.
For the price category you'll be using more clutch each morning as opposed to Cavalier, so really the better bang for your buck is Blumaan.
Not true for me. I use the same amount of Clutch that I would Cav for the same result in terms of hold. Same price and Clutch has an extra ounce of product.
I used Blumaan cavilier clay and it worked well for me but I got dandruff because of that. My hairs are also getting weak and falling because of that. Idk if its only me or it happened with others as well.
Hmm. Cavalier is a very oily clay so it's odd that it would cause dandruff. You may want to look into the shampoo and conditioner that you're using, and that is more likely what is drying out your scalp.
We need more of those videos
It has been a minute. Maybe I’ll have to put up a poll for the next one!
@@TDMStyle what ever you do matt you always gonna be in my top 3 reviewers ✌🏻
Great video Matt! Does Clutch have the clays like bentonite in it? :3
Thanks! Kaolin is the clay in this one - plus it has other goodies like beeswax, jojoba oil, lemon peel oil etc.
Clutch vs rough rider ! Which one ! Thicker hair
In the future can you make a review on the pete and pedro salt spray
I’ll add it to my list 👍🏻
After trying lots of hair products with disapointing results, I really don't care about packaging or scent. Just give me results.
That’s exactly why I separated this into less important “aesthetic” categories, and performance categories...
Hey man. Nice video and great channel btw. Quick question for ya: I have super thick coarse hair and I often find that oil based pomades work best for me because I don't really like products that dry super hard/crunchy or are too matte. The only downside with that, of course, is they aren't as easy to wash out. I was wondering, do you have a go-to shampoo that you use that's great at getting rid of oil-based product residue? Thanks.
Thanks! My go-to are the Moroccanoil Repair shampoo and conditioner - gets my hair squeaky clean but leaves it feeling very soft and moisturized. I also really like TheSalonGuy’s Clean and Condition set.
TDM Style thanks man for getting back so quick! I'll def check those out. Take care.
Cheers!
Off topic, but what brand and cut of t-shirt are you wearing in this video. I love the fit and the neckline.
I think it was just like a basic Hanes grey tee - nothing to exciting haha
I have fine hair and use claymation, it holds all day long. I barley have to fix it through out the day. But later this week i’m getting original and hybrid by blumaan in the mail, can’t wait to test these out together. Have you tried these two together, if so did it work well?
They do work well together - Hybrid on its own doesn’t have a very high hold for me, so prestyling with Original helped add more.
Clutch did not impress me, I prefer both claymation and cavalier to it. Do you still love clutch?
Sure do! Clutch is still a product for me that I can always count on for a consistent look.
i own cavalier and was looking at buying clutch xl since i have long wavy thick hair, what didnt you like about clutch ??
How does this compare to Chaptr? Is one easier to apply than the other?
For me Clutch is easier to apply. Chaptr is a much lighter hold and for me makes my hair feel too tangly at the ends, and a bit dry.
best reviews hands down
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻
Greeat vid... Congrats
Hello Matt,
clutch clay does not hold my strait thick hair for a long time.....any other clay recommendation?
please let me know
If you like Clutch but just want stronger hold you can try the XL version. Otherwise there are lots of other good clays out there depending on what you are looking for.
Go for cavelier if u have thick hair
how much does he payes you?
Does clutch clay has the same soft feeling like fuertes clay? And does 25 from salonguy has a better feeling then the skinny serum?
Clutch isn’t quite as soft in the hair as Fuertes - it’s a bit stickier/drier and has a stronger hold. His new Hustle clay is soft though. And yes 25 spray absolutely destroys Super Skinny
@@TDMStyle what type of finish does Fuertes have and which from the two products produces more texture? :)
Thank you for the vids' !
Thanks for watching!
Pretty random question but is the 15% discount code on the salonguy”s home page working for you? Because it’s not for me
Haven’t tried it. Although any I’ve used in the past always worked.
TDM Style alright also, do u have any idea when clutch xl will be on amazon?
No idea. You’d have to ask Stephen
I love the vids!
Thanks!
Are all these products all natural?
Nope
what does a medium hold clay mean? how does it compare to a high hold paste?
Hold is hold, but clays tend to be a lot thicker than pastes and provide more texture.
TDM Style thanks!
What were you using during the video
What
This dude went into it biased
How is it biased? I used to love both Claymation and Cav. Clutch just simply outperforms both of them for me. That’s not bias, it’s just how it is.
😅🤣🤣all point goes to clutch
Plado what the heck
Clutch Clay vs Blumaan Hybrid Cream Clay (and especially for people with fine hair) what's better?
They are quite different products really. Clutch is much higher hold, more matte of a finish and does have more of a volumizing effect.
Good video
Thanks!
Not really gave Cavalier a chance though, imo your hairstyle with it was not the best with way too much product. Furthermore i actually can't believe that clutch with it's creamy texture has a better longevity/hold than the other two... no hate here, just my opinion
No worries, I respect the feedback man! Honestly though I only used one small fingertip of Cavalier that day, and it still ended up looking like I had way more in there. Truth be told, when I first tried Clutch I thought exactly the same, like “no way this will have a high hold” because it felt so light and creamy. But no joke man, it works amazing. In terms of hold and lightness, you can _kind of_ compare it to Original by Blumaan, in that it provides a high hold with a surprisingly light product.
Baxter of California team please give a like 👍🏼
Ye Baxter is legit. Haven’t used their stuff in forever but their clay and hard creme pomade were my go-to products for a long time.
TDM Style any particular reason for not using it anymore?
Mostly because I’m constantly trying new stuff to review, honestly. I have so many products I haven’t bought any of the OG stuff in a long while haha
Im clay killer
You should have compared Quicksand with clutch.I think they are pretty similar
Btw great review as always.Keep it up man.Want more from you
kh shajib they are in no way similar, trust me.
Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you liked the video! As far as Quicksand though, it is totally different from Clutch. Quicksand is essentially a jar of diatomaceous earth and honestly makes my hair feel like a dry tangled rat’s nest. No shade either, just the honest truth. That stuff just does not work well for me at all, and it is vastly different from Clutch.
TDM Style for you quicksand is like that for me its a god send. I have super oily, fine hair and it rips away the oil and it allows me to go days for I have to shampoo my hair. Its one of the most unique products I've ever seen. I haven't found anything quite like it. It does wonders for texture as I have bone straight hair and the hold is exceptional just enough to hold everything. The only gripe I have is the smell and beachy feel.
Ah well that makes sense. Glad it works for you!
How is it compare to blumann clay fifth sample...
Fifth Sample is not a clay. It’s a pomade - so they are totally different.
Would clutch work for finer hair?
I believe so! It’s very lightweight so I feel like it wouldn’t weigh the hair down.
cheers, I'm looking for a new clay to buy and this might just be the one.
Well I definitely recommend it! I know Stephen has tested it on clients with several different hair types before releasing it so it should be good for a lot of people.
Is this guy being paid by Clutch? We need more people to make unbiased videos.
No, “this guy” is not being paid. I don’t do sponsored reviews because in my opinion a “paid review” is not a review, it’s an advert. If you’ve watched my other videos you would know that I’m always honest and forthcoming. I just happen to actually like Clutch a lot because in my opinion it’s a fantastic product and it works very well for me. That doesn’t make me biased. You watch reviews for the reviewer’s opinions on the product, and that’s what you got here. Not to mention the fact that doing a sponsored video without making it inherently clear is a violation of FTC guidelines. If and when I ever do sponsored videos, it will be VERY clear.
You gave 2 points to smell and box shape, those are totally subjective, when you give one point to a subjective issue and then give a point, same amount, to objective issues like hold, finish and so on i just can't take your criticism seriously. You brought and old blumaan box that is no longer branded as such and you compare it to your subjective preferences like "classic tin can look" and you call it a clay killer. Im sorry but giving so many points while you compare outdated branding and giving Same amount of points to minor issues and main issues don't happen that often, it smells fishy to me. Sorry but... Your Unubscribed..
The Blumaan branding now is exactly the same materials, just with different imaging and stickers. Not exactly a major point of contention, especially when in the same breath you’re trying to tell me that I shouldn’t have given so many points (which was ONE by the way) to packaging. In case you didn’t actually watch the video, I specifically mentioned that packaging and scent were both aesthetic categories which have no bearing on the performance of the product itself.
As far as the whole “clay killer” name - that’s what Clutch was being marketed as by the brand. I didn’t make up the name, and this was also mentioned in the video, which apparently you didn’t hear either.
In case you haven’t noticed, reviews of anything are subjective. That’s why different reviewers have different opinions on products based on their unique experiences due to their hair type etc etc.
Sure, the point system could use some work to be more balanced. But you’re gonna unsub because you watched an old video of mine and are salty that I didn’t have the Blumaan packaging that is available now? Give me a fucking break.
And by the way, your means your. You’re means you are. 🙄
I just bought Cavalier Heavy Clay and it's fucking awesome! I've been having trouble with hold even with hair spray but with Blumaan I don't even need hair spray.
It is difficult to apply but it kind of compensates since you can spend less time styling since THE HOLD IS SO GOOD!
And the part about Clutch looking good even after sleeping. I get that with Blumaan! I have the most thickest straightest hairtype, East-Asian and its perfect!
And no, I don't need shampoo to get it out... Comes out easy.
I wonder which company The Salon Guy took his ingredients from this time. 🤔
Lol bruh, Clutch is _literally_ from a custom boutique line that he developed himself. And I can tell you honestly, with all the products I’ve tested, nothing is even remotely similar to this.
TDM Style lol all of the products from his old line were white label, even when he said he created them. So it's hard to trust it. :p I'm just trolling though, it's obviously not your fault lol.
Will Brandon I’ve explained how my first manufacturer said my products were exclusive to me to then find out they were making the same for 3-4 other lines which is why I’ve moved on to working with new ones.
That hairstyle does not really suit you, get something with more volume in the front. But good video though
Thanks 🙏🏻
Biased
The Salon Guy. A nobody in the TH-cam universe!
Babe have you actually been on youtube though? 🤔
I’ve never heard of him either
TheSalonGuy lol
Sponsored video, I don't buy dat shit clutch
c4p4citador This is not sponsored. If it was, I would tell my viewers (not to mention it would be REQUIRED for me to tell my viewers by FTC regulations). God forbid somebody likes a product on their own 🙄
