Alpha is amazed at the men's hair product drugstore options. In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro is buying and testing drugstore hair products. He's heading to Walgreens for alternatives to Pete and Pedro Putty.
With fresh clean hair, Alpha tries each of the 5 hair products:
1. American Crew Fiber ($19.00) - the price is the same as Pete and Pedro Putty and the most expensive of these 5 products. It's fresh smelling, a bit of shine, and hold is decent although he feels it will go flat as soon as he goes outside. Overall, it remains a great product.
2. Axe Spiked Up ($9.50) - it's super messy, sticky, and paste-like. It has the highest hold of all 5 products. After styling, his hair feels dry with a waxy residue. Note that after he washed his hair, he can still smell the Axe. The scent is intense.
3. Old Spice Putty ($8.00) - smells mild and is really soft. The more you heat it up, the scent becomes stronger (and not to Alpha's liking in regard to the fragrance). The product goes into his hair easier than Axe but has a much lower hold than American Crew and Axe.
4. Dove Sculpting Paste ($7.75) - mild fragrance, stiff, and emulsifies easily. The hold is not great (it's medium; not as good as the Axe) but on-par with American Crew (and half the price of American Crew). Overall, this product was Alpha's favorite of all 5 tested.
5. Got2B Glued Spiking Wax ($7.00) - a higher hold with a mild scent and similar in consistency to Dove. It's very sticky, heavy, and waxy. This product is the least favorite in terms of performance.
Overall Thoughts
If you put any of these products in wet hair and let air dry, they'll lock it down. A cost effective and good product is the Dove Sculpting Paste. American Crew is really good too. The other three are decent, but the lower price equates to lower quality ingredients. Note that Alpha prefers Pete and Pedro Putty above all of these products and would spend the extra bucks on the hair he cherishes. Additionally, unlike other brands where one product is good, the entire line Pete and Pedro line is superior with super high quality. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Pete & Pedro is a bit pricey. Instead of buying it I took my girl out for a nice dinner and she told me to buy Pete & Pedro so I did and the next week I took her to BurgerKing, best decision she ever made for me.
How the fuck do you spend 20 bucks on a "Nice" dinner
Little logic Top ramen is 3 for a buck nigga
No You're right, I clicked the link and it says 20$ U.S. When I checked the price on Amazon the cheapest I found it for was 50-120$ Canadian. I'm sure if I ordered from the U.S. the shipping cost would still be an extra 10-20$. I use American Crew Fiber which I think is the best one that he's tried.

As someone who's only started keeping hair on my head for the first time in the last 11 years (Due to Military Service), gotta say, your channel is really helping me out. I've been wearing an undercut, since I'm not too sure what else to do, but I'm still learning a lot from your channel.

Brooo I can smell the axe through the video
Wtf me too 😂😂😂😂😂
LoL same here
Lmfao 😂
In my opinion, old spice forge putty is super good. It acts as a good prestyler almost as good as original by blumaan. It's really great that I'm using it instead of original
It's a good prestyler, not good for much else tbh unless I'm in a hurry
The axe you bought is for shorter hair bc its the spiked up gel kind thats why it didnt work for your hair also you blow dried after putting the product, if you put it in after you blow dry you will get more hold and texture.
Basha A its bad anyway
messy look was the way to go...
I tried the natural look one and it works great for hair with low maintenance and natural looking
Jose Lopez I used the Clean Cut pomade. Works great for me. But I do switch between four different products now
It doesn't matter, Axe should never be used by anyone at any time.
Aaron the type of guy to longer to get ready in the morning than his wife
Will Walsh wrong channel

He gay tho
Michael he talks about his wife in some of his videos...
Nothing wrong with a man that takes care of himself.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - I was buying online for my teenage sons. I was trying to decide between Axe and American Crew, and this really helped! I really appreciate your washing your hair 5x 2 years ago to help me out!
u should get dove tho
I recommend old spice, but dove is the second best
Loved the video Alpha! It was a very unbiased review which goes to show your strong character. Most other businesses owners are too afraid to give their honest opinion in such a competitive market, I’d love to shake your hand some day and buy you a beer. Keep up the videos!
Maybe your hair feels really dry because you just shampooed your hair three times in one day
Chris Gavidia how many times you need to shampoo? My hair feels dry every single day. I shampoo once every single day
Alan Fernandez generally not a good idea at all. if you shampoo it should really be no more than 2 or 3 times per week
Alan Fernandez you need conditioner bud
rivioli14 that is if you don’t exercise. If you exercise and get sweaty you need to shampoo once a day
Acidize or use dry shampoo of course.
Stop it with the Tiege Hanley jokes, they're getting old...
...like my skin was before I started using Tiege Hanley

This guy is made my life much better he has inspired me to get up early have a good morning and nighttime routine eat healthier and style my hair and also work out more and do the thing I love playing football every day Alpha and Mesut Ozil are my two biggest idols.
Your hair looks like the Adidas logo🤷🏽♂️😂😂
I can’t unsee that now 😂
Haha even in speed up mode you can see on your face you don't like the axe at all! :)
This is seems like the most honest video you've done in a while, where you're not trying to shove advertising down our throats
AgentIRL vagina cookies
DynastyGaming Yeah I understand he needs to promote to generate more revenue for himself and his businesses but it's also nice when every now and then there's a video without a plug
But he still mentioned P&P about 90 times in a 10min video about 5 other brands lol
I love this guy. "they're also gonna smell you from 3 blocks away"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I went and did the same thing with the same products. Old Spice surprised me the most. If you use less than you’re supposed to use it works great.
The best hair styling product?
Pete & Pedro,Gentleman.
I thought you mean Tiger xD
Srijit Ghosh Never used P&P I have used tea tree and american crew fiber and I love using american crew fiber just from one day of using it I love it I have "thick" hispanic hair hair and never was a fond of using gel so I use "cream" products and after using ACF my hair was silky smooth tea tree is good but At 15$ at my local walmart compared to tea tree at 18$ at my great clips I know who the winner is But in the future Im going to buy P&P
Srijit Ghosh True man
,
I'd have to disagree teige hanley is the best
Alpha the kind a guy to make his gf late for parties because he takes so long to get ready.
Scott K that shit wasn't funny
+KEVIN F L - It wasn't a joke. It was an observation.
100 people beg to differ
This is actually funny
Idk he does his hair pretty fast. I've seen other people and TH-camrs take waaaay longer
Just letting you know, I had that same dove product. It was great, it made my hair soft and , easy to move. But it had almost no hold. So I recommend using it as a pre styler. It works great.
“Smell you 3 blocks away” 😂😂😂😂
I put Tiege Hanley in my hair, I now have dreads...
Eric Ketler what's tiege hanley
Have you ever thought about going into retail stores? I would recommend tying to partner with Target, they are really trying to add a bunch of new products from smaller companies and I think it would sell really well.
I personally use Pete and Pedro and work at target, i can tell you my opinion is that they would mix well. Not only would it help you out by reaching more people but it would help Target as it continues to improve and grow.
MrGeary08 assuming he'd still be able to make a profit from selling a high quality product for only about $10 to $15 he wouldn't make as much as he currently does. The reason many small businesses don't or can't reach out is so they can maintain their quality for the price. Retail locations will want to sell for double what they purchase for. And, Pete and Pedro would be competing with other high priced products which have already established their place in the market
Tim
Well for target what he showed in the video is the extent of our selection. it could be $20 or $25 in store and i would buy it, as well as recommend it to everyone looking for a good hair product
MrGeary08 I think the reason why they're not is that he wants to maintain a quality brand image. Plus the cost for shelf space in retailers is ridiculous, excluding royalties. (I'm a marketing major.)
10:11 the way he looses the smile😂
His hair still looked amazing in with each product. Goes to show that you can still look wicked even without the best products!
The axe you used was for extreme hold, I recommend the urban messy style. Its a matte finish and holds like you would expect,
Nathaniel Martin that one is actually good
You re Italian. Of course you feel like you need more 😂👌
Hey Alpha! I fixed the hold problem with the old spice putty! There is a gel you can get from dove, the control gel fixant, that you put into your when dry or damp, and you style it to your side part look, then you put in the putty and it creates a strong hold. And surprisingly, using the gel still keeps your hair looking natural, or undone. It works really great! If you try it out let me know what you think!

You can't damage something that's already DEAD!!!
Naw, but seriously though. Easy on the putty.

If you have to smell multiple times to the point where you're out of breath. Then it has no fragrance.

Vitamin L he made a video and he does his hair in under 10 minutes
Shit it takes me 2 hours and I still look like shit
Vitamin L you shouldn't adjust your hair too much once you style it. You're probably using the wrong hair product if that's the case.
Vitamin L And how long does that take you?
+Arthur M are you like actually stupid bro he just said he walks out the door implying he doesnt do shit
i love dove good to hear from someone other than me, they give good quality at a low price. i know it isn't salon quality. but do able.
I love this guy's positive vibes. It's giving me hope I can actually improve
He got the worst axe product there is. The urban messy look would've been better
Taran Hartwell thats what I was thinking
Taran Hartwell yeah I use the messy look and I like it
Absolutely right, the Axe Spike Up Look cream is terrible. The Axe Natural Look Softening Cream is solid though (for me at least). The Axe Peace Ceasefire Control Cream was the best, but I am pretty sure it has been discontinued.
Agreed. Clean cut is one of my favorites
luke hershey RIGHT! I miss the peace cease fire, every now and then ill find it somewhere but it's kinda rare
should have used different days..
I would probably have gone bald

true.. xD

He sniffs the old spice one like 100 times 😂
started using my beard moisturizer on my hair and couldnt be happier.. best carefree tamed look without trying and bc i was on a rush one day and itst been the best
I use hanz de fuko. 20$ organic ingredients. I use claymation, matte finish great hold all day! Check it out bro
the Ohdarling
the Ohdarlings yeah everyone's heard of the shit
the Ohdarlings it's awesome stuff.
Hanz De Fuko overrated asf tho
I Think I'll just buy Pete and Pedro.
Wow I recognize those train tracks! I just moved out of Marietta, GA 6 months ago ☺
After this video i went on to buy the Dove sculpting paste. It works extremely well and I love it.
Only problem is that to get its full affect you need dry hair. Which isn’t a problem for me exactly but after practice i can’t apply it because of my sweaty and damp hair. If that wouldn’t be an issue for you then i highly recommend it and it smells great. Medium hold w a matte finish that lasts the entire day.
I'm glad to see Dove wasn't so bad, given I'm a big fan of the brand. This isn't so relevant but dove men+care soap is my favourite soap. :P
Oddly interesting video man, thanks for abusing your hair for us!!
after everything..
Him: how's my hair..
Hair: Fuck OFF
And yet, he looks good Everytime 😂
I JUST Bought the crew hair paste its very nice love the smell of it
I use the old spice paste, i actually really like it, it just works for me
Skyler Blank Same
Ive been using that for about a year, but im actually gonna get around to ordering P&P Putty finally lol, see how it works for me.
I've used the paste, pomade, and now I'm trying the putty. They work good for me and the hold is better if u don't use a blow dryer
Skyler Blank I used old spice back then but now I got claymite and I love it and I would never change
I use the yellow axe paste and I love it ... guess it's just preference ..
Is it just me or does he look like uncle Stan from gravity falls
Eddie Knotts is just you
Tobias The 4th nope 13 other ppl think that too
Eddie Knotts after the mystery shack failed. He turned to this
he looks like the italian version of charlie from is always sunny
“It feels waxy in my hair”
It’s literally called wax
I use American crew fiber and honestly if you don’t use very much it doesn’t hold at all but even putting just a tiny bit more in for me holds my hair all day
Zachary Cardenas ...It’s obscenely expensive. Especially since it requires larger amounts to get the effect and that they’re screwing us by putting less in the can.
I like "Paul Mitchell - Clean Cut" it's the best I can get without having to ordering it
alpha m. You gotta try Suavecito. I use the Summer blend obviously for the summer months they also have a winter blend as well. Haven't got to try the Winter blend yet as I just switched from the Crew that you tried out. I myself used to like it but by mid day it was wore out. The Summer blend smells great! leaves a little bit of shine with a great hold. Thanks!

Don't worry you're not alone
Yes it did
Facts
I've used Aveda pomade and it works and holds the best that I have used. For shorter hair I recommend that. I bought Old Spice's pomade and have been using that for the last month or two. It doesn't have the hold of Aveda but it lasts all day even after a workout and gives more fluff to my hair.
For axe, your best option is the “Messy Look” style putty
The thumbnail makes it look like Alpha has a men's style fidget spinner.
PowahSlap Entertainmint and again I see you here in multiple videos 😂😂
Please keep doing these types of videos for us budget buyers out here!
Old spice seems to be the only hair product that holds my hair and I love the smell. (I am an old spice fan boy though) I guess everyone will have their own experiences though!
I love the Dove!! I mainly use Garnier, with the hold level of 3 for softness and at the same time, use a finger tip of Dove for texture and a stronger hold. The best combination I think, if your on a budget!!
Bro can you help me ? I am 13 years Old Can I Use Hair Wax or Clay On My Hair ?
Now this is a video I’ve wanted to see
Rainbow Looms same
The axe putty look like skeet when he put it on😂😂😂
Adrian Marquez that's what it is ...
when i didn't know squat about hair product I picked up the axe messy look and it was good, nothing like the one you picked up. it was solid and the smell was minimal, I've got thick wavy hair so it worked for me
Your hair looks exactly the same on every one
It may look the same, but I can almost guarantee that they didn't all feel the same. Aside from just looking good, it's also a matter of hair feeling good and comfortable. Plus, with the cases of the hold not feeling like it'll last very long, that especially is a problem since you're just seeing the result when he's in his bathroom.
It's the feeling. I tried out every product and would never reccomend the cheap ones
It's called a f hairstyle
What actaully matters though is the aftermath of that, I honestly would style my hair for about 30 minutes with cheap gel and finally get the style i want and 10 minutes later my hair is all flat. So yes it may look all the same but they all have a different feel and duration
It doesn't feel the same tho and the hold is different
Hey Alpha. You should make a video about what product are affordable but also healthy for your hair
This guy needs some pete & pedro...
The Axe messy look is by far my fav out of all the ones that were at the store. Its not oil like at all. Its a paste and can hold really good with help of one quick spray of hairspray
Lol loving the third person description box!
George Clooney would disagree... he's a Dapper Dan man lol
Cory Dean Damn straight. You put in some oil based pomade on Monday and it'll still be holding on Friday.
@@cinnemaninemanas4001 watch your language, young fella. This is a public market
I actually like the Old Spice. I get a pretty good hold on it and didn't notice a strong smell. You do need to use a little more of it than what he's using but I liked it better than the Crew and it's half the cost
It’s the best for me
I use american crew fiber and I love it, I use it without heat and spray just a little bit of high hold hair spray after and it locks it in place while looking natural.
Thx so much for this video! I was going to buy got2be tomorrow.
