"Welcome to 2016, the year of choice." I absolutely love this stance Robin. Instead of getting defensive and feeding into the haters/trolls, you're just spreading good vibes and information. Keep it up brother. I'm sure it's already obvious, but the fans you have far outnumber the haters who try to bring ya down. Keep it up brother! Hope to see more awesome videos like this. P.S. I really enjoy you giving us the preview of what you'll be talking about in the beginning. It really helps bring the video together instead of other videos where there's no sense of direction.
hey Robin, I'm having a tough time finding the right hair product. I have fine hair and nothing I use can keep my shirt in place, always falls down. ive looked at 3 products, silverfox, gravity by hanzdefuke, and roughrider. which is best?
I've got to say this channel has come such a long way ever since you have launched the Man for Himself brand. Its a much more slick and put together channel. Its one of my favourites on TH-cam.
Robin, I tend to use the product that most fits the styles needs. As you said a traditional Pomp or greaseback is a hand down oil based hair day. The FaceBook groups tend to be purists and are rough on those that don't follow the mold they set. I prefer water based products as they wash out every night without shampoo; what's better than that ? I love American Crew products as well Schwartzkoff which btw certain water based Pomades are restylable and have a flex hold. Last thing is a trick for oil based users, if you use the traditional "Groom & Clean" hair product (just a dime size) and work it into your build up or, daily style; it will rinse out just like a water base. Keep looking sharp gents !
Absolutely love your attention to detail; From the information in the video, to your description in the description box. Thoroughly love it ! Keep it up 👍🏼
Robin it tears my heart to hear that people are hating on your videos. They are probably jealous of you/hair/your products. I love you Robin. KEEP DONG WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Hey Robin. I guess I'm on the side of water-based, simply because of the ease-of-use. I was wondering, do you have an opinion on the AXE/Lynx hair products? They have just updated their line. I might give them a try because they're only $6 (€5.30). Btw those glasses look great on you (not trying to kiss your ass).
All axe products suck ass. If you wanted to just get a hair product and don't care the finish of hold, that's what you get. You might as well just get American crew over axe.
+Nicholas McKee yeah the don't give good hold at all and more shine than expected. I recommend Paul Mitchell/Mitch hair products from a hair store/barbershop/salon
Thanx for this vid Robin. great info again. I swear Hanz De Fuko Clamation is the best product to date for my hair, I use it on damp hair and I can re-style it throughout the day. keep up the great work that you do.
Robin James I want to grow my hair out and try various long hairstyles for which I need to have a moisturised scalp.. I have used various shampoos and conditioners ranging from Dove, Sunsilk, Head and Shoulders.. to like Tresemme and Pantene.. (Mostly Indian brands since I'm from India).. So, what do you say about Indian products? Are they worth it or Do I need to go for some other products?
@@ManForHimself hello i am salman I don't use any products hair products in my life used only cocanaut oil but when I used that my face get oily and i get cough and allergy doctor not use them . Then is it good i choosing clay for that ? Which type of clay i have to choose ?
For anybody trying to wash out an oil based pomade: take a conditioner, same amount as pomade, massage it in your hair and wait for 10-15 minutes. Then get in the shower and wash your hair just one time with shampoo. Your hair will be completely pomade free after that. Great video by the way!
Hi! I have a very big question. Using oil pomade can lead to hair fall? I've heard that the oil can clog the pores, and i don't know if i should shower in the morning and at night (you know, because i'm not sure if i should sleep with it) i would appretiate a reply. Thank you very much!
The thing is, I've never had a big problem with washing out oil based products. I have used Lockharts heavy and heavies are supposed to be very difficult to be washed out. It would just take one shampoo and conditioning to get it out, maybe two if I use a lot so I don't really care if it's water or oil based.
If am using oil based pomade should i wash it every night or will be able to leave it in my hair till next day or gonna cause a dandruff, have no idea ...
Very informative videos. Can anything can be done with wearing a wool cap or hood attachment for the winter months. When I go indoors my hair is out of control -- brushing or combing doesn't seem to help. I do use a clay, but if there is a product that will keep the hair in place after removing the cap or hood, please let me know.
What clay products are there that are water based first in the ingredients, meaning they wash out easily.. only 2 that you have reviewed fit the bill, it would be cool to see more of those.
I have really thick hair and shampooing dries my hair out so I only do that once a week, but I am using v05 reWork putty daily is using water okay or should I really be making sure I get it out in the shower? Love your videos :) Thank you and have a lovely day.
this is a bit late, but i'd reccomend, with any product you're not sure about, googling the first 3-4 ingredients on the back, which will generally tell you if a product is oil based or water based (or both) and tell you how harsh it may be on your hair.
I just ordered their matte clay very recently (haven't tried it yet), but in general most people seem to say that most of their products are great. Most notably their matte clay and goon grease.
I'm a chef and you don't want to see my hair. unfortunately I would love to have the time to do a big pomp every day but unfortunately I don't have time to even get a routine every day. your videos are cool man.
I have hybrid pomade, advertise as water base pomade organic, .. But the effect doesn't feel like water base, it feels like 50% waterbase 50% oil base... I like to use moose everyday, i really love my hybrid water base pomade, it was made by the barbers specification for the pompadour hair style..
+Robin James yes ! i just told my best friend about u dude! so ur gonna have another subscriber and also i got a question if i sleep under the blanket will it mess up my hair?
can you do a video on how to do an elephant's trunk with hair gel I would really appreciate it I've tried and cannot figure it out for the life of me thank you and as always Rebel cowboy Elvis out
I find on days when I don't wash my hair that I can get oil based products out by just clawing at my hair in the shower and I've got really thick hair so it's odd that I find them easy to get out
I used to use gatsby's wax and i need to wash my hair about 2 to 3 times to get it out. Ive decided to increase my budget and get higher end products like HDF or by vilain. It costs me about 3 times more than usual but at least i have fun styling my hair now
+Top Tier Waifu I pretty much agree with you. It wasnt as strong as i thought i would be. Just got by vilain gold digger and dynamite clay. tried once and seems good. easy to apply and seems to have a quite strong hold
Rough.Rider by Kevin Murphy trumps them all. But if you are looking to graduate from a clay, as they dehydrate the hair and are difficult to wash out, I say step it up to Morris Motley. But really, it's all about your blowdrying technique.
This cute girl I had a crush on says my hair looks to damn greasy. She was like "did you put cooking oil on your hair?" That was like... kinda make me... Sigh... Been using water based for lower shine ever since.
He's just saying that oil based products don't come out unless you use shampoo.. which you shouldn't be using shampoo everyday.. with water based products you can just use water alone and it comes out. So water based products are good if you like to use different products all the time since then you won't have oil still in your hair from the days prior. But there's more to it.. do you want oil in your hair all the time.. your skin might not like it.. do you use shampoo every day.. stuff like that.
Most of the clays are clay or wax heavy though, so they're still hard to wash out and you need shampoo. If water is first on the ingredients, then it comes out with just water easy.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate you saying this.
Yep, all about choice.
I’ve wanted to film this one for a while.
I find the whole debate pretty interesting!
It’s all about personal choice, IMHO.
Can you suggest me a product that can try to prevent my hair from falling flat?
Ha ha. Love that you know about my PJs now!
Any of the products I use and recommend. :D
hey Robin, I'm having a tough time finding the right hair product. I have fine hair and nothing I use can keep my shirt in place, always falls down. ive looked at 3 products, silverfox, gravity by hanzdefuke, and roughrider. which is best?
Do you use Reuzel pomades?
This video helped me so much to pick the right product. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
I've got to say this channel has come such a long way ever since you have launched the Man for Himself brand. Its a much more slick and put together channel. Its one of my favourites on TH-cam.

Thanks mate. It really doesn't bother me too much. I have thick skin and you guys are great. That's all that matters.
I love the fact that you interact with your fans...
I found this review 2 years late, but it was super helpful and informative none the less. Thank you.
really liking the higher quality videos!
Thanks Shamana.
Great work Robin I think you should do a video on glasses
Really want to soon!
Bro your sooooo close to 100k u deserve every single one of your subs
Still a bit to go! Thank you.
Honestly waiting for this topic thanks so much Robin ! 💙
Good to hear, Juan.
and robin! your videos get better and better. plus those frames fit you quite well ☺
Thanks so much, Ishmam.
Keep up the great videos robin! You give us top advice and then I guess we can decide what to do with it and/or take tips and apply to our own styles
Exactly! Allowing you to make your own decisions.
so baically: if you want to do a slick style everyday 24/7 choose an Oil based. If not cop a water based
I'd say so... probably! Ha ha. All depends on how they work for you.
Hey Robin. I guess I'm on the side of water-based, simply because of the ease-of-use. I was wondering, do you have an opinion on the AXE/Lynx hair products? They have just updated their line.

+Kooper Seewald Is American Crew not great as well?
+Nicholas McKee yeah the don't give good hold at all and more shine than expected. I recommend Paul Mitchell/Mitch hair products from a hair store/barbershop/salon
Ha ha! Thank you.
I've used Lynx in a few videos and mentioned it in a Clay one. Did you see it?
+Robin James Nuh uh 😁
Thanx for this vid Robin. great info again. I swear Hanz De Fuko Clamation is the best product to date for my hair, I use it on damp hair and I can re-style it throughout the day. keep up the great work that you do.
Hey David! Good to hear that you've found something that works for you.
I want a product that’ll make my hair look wet and like where my hair kind of moves around as I move
Any suggestions?
Oil based pomade
Oil based is love
Oil based is life
Nice. I need to stop shampoo. So I like to go with water based. Thanks for the info.
Robin could you please give some suggestions about what products should a person with dry and slightly wavy hair use?
What style do you want to do?
Robin James I want to grow my hair out and try various long hairstyles for which I need to have a moisturised scalp..

Do not recommend it at all. Putting conditioner right to your scalp will clog the pores which can lead to greasier scalp
Thanks for the info, ive been wanting to know about this for a while!
Good to hear, Jacob!
I love all your videos Robin, dunno' why I feel that I can Identify myself w/ the way you use and appreciate hair products
Hey Francisco. Thank you. Really good to hear.

Obsessed !!! I loooove your Videos soooo much :O You are such an inspiration..wow !
Thanks so much.
Hey Robin would you reccomend Claymation, Baxters, or Star Wax Clay? I have fine hair, and lots of it if that helps?
It all depends on the individual. I haven't used Baxters, but I've heard it's good. Also, depends what you want to do with your hair.
I have really thick hair and shampooing dries my hair out so I only do that once a week, but I am using v05 reWork putty daily is using water okay or should I really be making sure I get it out in the shower?

Robin what do you think of Muk products? A lot of the barbers/hairdressers I have used this line of products.
Hey! I've never used them, sorry.
+Robin James thanks robin big fan.
Can I use water based product daily i wash my hair but without shampoo
Those glasses look amazing
Thanks man!
Thank you a lot for the info Robin! I'm getting an oil based pomade. Thanks!
You're very welcome
Any recommendations for water based products for curly hair ?
Top video Robin! Glasses 😍
Hey Robin, have you ever tried any Lockhart's products? Like their matte clay or goon grease?
I've not. Would you recommend them?
I just ordered their matte clay very recently (haven't tried it yet), but in general most people seem to say that most of their products are great. Most notably their matte clay and goon grease.
hai robin,i love all your videos😘😘😘
Thanks Aqil!
I'm a chef and you don't want to see my hair. unfortunately I would love to have the time to do a big pomp every day but unfortunately I don't have time to even get a routine every day. your videos are cool man.
Thanks Eamonn. I don't have the time either. If you've seen my Snapchat, I sit around with bad hair most days! Ha ha
Nice video! Just out of curiosity, what kind of product did you have in your hair in this video?
Hey -thanks. It's all in the description of the video. Hope it helps.
I have hybrid pomade, advertise as water base pomade organic, .. But the effect doesn't feel like water base, it feels like 50% waterbase 50% oil base... I like to use moose everyday, i really love my hybrid water base pomade, it was made by the barbers specification for the pompadour hair style..
thanks bro Robbin i have not used shampoo for a week and my hair looks fresh
Winning!

I'm not sure that will ever happen. But as long as the people that subscribe are enjoying my content, I am happy!
Nice one robin, when i use oil based product and having sweat that oil comes on my forehead so I switched to water based products...
Good one! Hope it's working out for you.
yep it works well for me.
Robin please make a video on how to choose glasses and this on you wearing in video suits you 110%.
What water based clays do you like?
HELPED ALOT!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
i tried only one oil based pomade. never again. oil based is off for me. i go for water based because i hate to wash my hair with shampoo every day
" Welcome to 2016, the year of choice. " lol rekt
:D
How should I grow my hair out to have a great pompadour? Should it be really short in the back or almost the same length as the front?
short in back.
If you want a traditional pomp you CAN grow out the back and make a ducktail
Like Shane said!
hi what brand of water base product you use?
Hey robin great vid! I was just wondering what shampoo and conditioner do you use?
Hey mate, I change mine often. It depends on the condition and state of my hair.
+Robin James Oh ok, could you make a video sometime about your favourite?
can you do a video on how to do an elephant's trunk with hair gel I would really appreciate it I've tried and cannot figure it out for the life of me thank you and as always Rebel cowboy Elvis out
Hey mate, hair gel won't be thick enough. Much better with wax or pomade.
Bravo Robin 👏
What are these forums he is referring to in the beginning?
Dear Robin, please post links to some Facebook groups.....
💙 im Using beeswax clay and wax for my hair. Il wash it every second day and it Works ok
If it works for you, that's great!
I find on days when I don't wash my hair that I can get oil based products out by just clawing at my hair in the shower and I've got really thick hair so it's odd that I find them easy to get out
Oh wow, clawing sounds brutal. But if it works for you, then go for it!
Nah, it's not too bad. Just running my hands through my hair to get product out with water blasting at it
Robin do you Think reuzel (green) is a good oil based product
Hey mate, I've never used it actually.
kijk kanaal It is really good
What product keeps hair from drying out
My hair got dry and rough after using hair products. Please tell me what i should do.
Stop using them and start again. Only use products that don't harm your hair.
+Robin James can you name me some products. I live in india and i cant buy really expensive ones
you should a back to school essentials video
Hey Adrian, a lot of my audience are 18+, so I'm not sure it would really work. But I've done one on hair.
I used to use gatsby's wax and i need to wash my hair about 2 to 3 times to get it out. Ive decided to increase my budget and get higher end products like HDF or by vilain. It costs me about 3 times more than usual but at least i have fun styling my hair now
Do you prefer HDF or By Vilain?
+Top Tier Waifu Why is that?
+Top Tier Waifu I pretty much agree with you. It wasnt as strong as i thought i would be. Just got by vilain gold digger and dynamite clay. tried once and seems good. easy to apply and seems to have a quite strong hold

But really, it's all about your blowdrying technique.
+Top Tier Waifu Ok so do you recommend by Vilain?
This cute girl I had a crush on says my hair looks to damn greasy. She was like "did you put cooking oil on your hair?"
That was like... kinda make me... Sigh...
Been using water based for lower shine ever since.
Ah, but if you like it, do it. Don't let someone else decide for you.
Can you please do an honest review on Mitch clean cut semi matte product???
Just to say, all my reviews are 'honest', I just had to use 'honest' in another video to cut through a lot of the white noise!
Hey Robin, can you recommend me any good oil-based products?
reuzel pink
Goon grease
Love the glasses, I need a new pair but round glasses don't work with my face 😔
Thanks Eli! There will be a pair somewhere for you.
Thanks for using hairdryers even tho the haters come and attack u
im asain so what should i use since my hair sticks out and its strong
hair clay
the only oil based pomade i know is murrays. can anyone tell me more about oil based pomade please? (:
So many (most) traditional pomades are oil-based.
+Robin James well, was thinkin of getting an oil based pomade besides murrays because they have great hold and style to em (:
nice vid Robin 😃
Cheers Abdul!
Interesting to say the least💙💙
Cheers Jelle! 💙💙💙 I
What is hair wax based on
oil base is way better IMO also like that build up feel.
If it works for you, then go for it. For me, it just depends what I'm doing with my hair.
Do oil based products cause hair loss?
They shouldn't, no.
So oil based pomades are the OG.. Water based pomades are glorified hair gel.. Got it!!
u tell them Robin
Ha ha!
can you review daimon barber's clay pomade
this was very useful
Good to hear. :D
So if someone is doing the same hairstyle everyday oil is better
?
He's just saying that oil based products don't come out unless you use shampoo.. which you shouldn't be using shampoo everyday.. with water based products you can just use water alone and it comes out. So water based products are good if you like to use different products all the time since then you won't have oil still in your hair from the days prior.
But there's more to it.. do you want oil in your hair all the time.. your skin might not like it.. do you use shampoo every day.. stuff like that.
which category does clay fall in?
ohh, thanks for the info :-)
Most of the clays are clay or wax heavy though, so they're still hard to wash out and you need shampoo. If water is first on the ingredients, then it comes out with just water easy.
HAHAHAHAHA, these glasses look so horrible, had a really good laugh, thank you! AHHAHA
Yeah ok bud
Glad you got a laugh. :D
Great video, great debate! i use water based products because i shampoo my hair only once or twice a week.
I'm much the same!
Hey man I think I have the same hair texture as you
Texture twins!
