Robin, great video. I use the layrite clay from time to time, I rate it but it isn't perfect, for all the reasons you list. Of those products you have used, which product (clay or otherwise) would you say has the greatest hold on its own, without hairspray?
Got pretty fine hair and cement is just to thick and sticky for my hair it tends to rip out so many strands. Any of you ever tried Paul Mitchell's tea tree shaping creme?
Robin James good video Robin! But what’s the name of the music in the intro? Pls answer. I have look on Spotify but can not find the son under the link that you have linked in the description
Some advice on using Layrite Cement Clay: wet your hands a little before using it. The product is water soluble, so it will thin and disperse the clay without having to work it in your hands forever. And it eases the application by allowing you to work it into your hair without feeling like you're pulling your hair out. I hope this helps someone else.
@@ManForHimself it could be part of the point system . Or you could give both products a score or amount of points and if its severely disappointing like the hold give them a 0 or negative points.
Robin James I think there’s still a point in the points system. People clicking on these videos just want to know which one is better. If you think one is better, it should have more points. If something seriously underperforms, it makes sense to remove points
Agreed.more points for the product that performs better (3 points) vs. less points (1 point) for packaging which is just window dressing for example. A point system is fine, just tweak it.
Thanks for the review I needed someone to confirm what I thought myself about the Layright's hold. Halfway through the day it always seemed to fall apart and would be hard to put back together and it definitely made my hair feel heavy which was bad for me as I have finer hair. Overall great job, I really like your reviews :)
james please do kevin murphy night rider vs moroccan oil texture clay. they are alex costas fafourite products and i would like to know which is better
how can a product with abysmal hold come out on top? surely that is the key factor here when all said and done? interesting one again Robin! keep it up! Also take a look at Shear revival pastes, Flagship pastes and Nostalgic Grooming pastes, stellar stuff! the homebrewer market is where its at
ThatsTheBadger hey man, what’s a good paste for me? I want a high hold product. I’ve been using mister pompadour beeswax paste and the Odouds matte paste
Amazing new battle brand series, Robin. Please consider doing a Top 5 of your favorite matte hair products of all time (apothecary 87, label m, hanz de fuko, Lockhart...). It would be the most-viewed video in the History of Internet :D
I love these "Brand Battle" videos. For me, Matte Clay, by Lockhart's is the best matte clay so far. I've tried at least 20 clays in the market, and no one does the job so well.
I’ve been using layrite cement clay for years and have never had issues with the hold not being strong enough. A little goes a long way, so if your hair is being weighed down and it’s not holding well, you’re probably using more than you need
Layrite is the bomb!! In my arsenal..end result-wise once settled in hair (combability), on par with Krewcomb Masterwax < GBS Hair Control Wax. Heads up if you thought Layrite to be heavy, try the GBS. Can’t believe there aren’t any reviews for it on here! Love your review, never get tired of them..very useful in terms of user point of view👍
I think maybe giving partial points to both or negative points (like more of a rating system rather than a winner-take-all) would be a good idea. That way you could compare products from video to video based on what overall rating you gave them.
I used to be a big fan of the Layrite Cement when my hair was shorter, but now that it has gotten a bit longer (4" or so), I really have come to dislike the layrite. The product is very hard to apply and ends up being way too heavy for my thick hair - makes my hair look gross and weighed down. Application is also really not good, I find there is way too much tug and resistance which makes it difficult to evenly distribute throughout. I have come to much prefer the layrite Natural Matte Cream as both a pre- and post-styler as my hair has gotten longer.
I've found that the Layrite cement only loses its hold in very humid environments. Day by the beach? It's done. Inside my office during the week? All day hold.
Wooooo I’m tellin you Layrite has stepped up their game :) I feel like the hold wasn’t great for you because cement is more suited for Thicker hair so that’s a bummer but honestly it’s great for me
Robin James well I figured that since it’s probably one of the heaviest products I’ve personally used it would make super weigh down fine hair and not give much hold compared to thick hair that could work with it more. I could be completely wrong but that’s just my 2 cents
When I first started styling my hair, I have thin hair too but a lot, I used layette clay and I need to get some again its just expensive sadly and I am in college but its way better then any budget brands
I just bought layrite. It's an amazing clay. The only problem I have with it is, I don't like the smell. It's smells sort of like coconut. But it's so easy to apply and style with.
I understand where you're coming from on this Robin but I personally like the Layrite much more than you did. I wear a low fade with my hair on top about 1.5 inches and the Layrite is perfect for it. Unfortunately the Lockharts is a bit greasier and the wind at work seems to stand the hair up and leave it up, not a good look for me. But honestly, these are two of my top products, the other ones being my Gatsby Extra Hold Wax and 18.21 Clay. The Lockharts can become perfect for me if I use some dry shampoo to take away some of the greasiness of the wax. All about working with what we have, yeah? Thanks for the review!
Great upload Robin, I find that American Crew products have the same problem as Layrite; they start off looking great and fall like a ton of bricks by the end of the day.
I'm sorry but I honestly don't know what you're doing if layrite didn't have long hold for you. I've used it on many different lengths for years, and it lasts me all day, sometimes even next day. As long as you use some prestyler before blow drying, it holds perfectly. Not sure how you thought so poorly of it...
Never found a product that wasn’t a massive hold gel, that would hold my hair, so, Layrite for its initial performance and freeze it with hairspray I guess
Hi Robin, could you do a review on Sebastian craft clay? Maybe do a brand battle with it vs Blacklabel craft clay. Great content as always, keep it up! 👍
Hi Robin, I just wanted to ask you one question: could you please reply with all the hair products you use (shampoo, conditioner, wax etc) ? And could you make a video of your daily/weekly hair routine ? I have really thin and fine hair, and I can't even have a faded hairstyle because you can actually see my scalp through the hair (like in your worst haircut ever video) so I was wondering if I could talk to an expert like you to assess how I could treat my hair better. Thank you in advance for the advice
Great stuff Robin! Love the brand battle videos. Gives me the info I can never seem to find. And when I do find it, i can very rarely trust 😂 appreciate all the time you put into these. They’re very helpful
Robin i really want u to answer this....my barber spray some liquid on my hair and then blow dry my hair then my hair became silky smoth soft and have more volume and shine .. i have thin hair...usually when i blow dry my hair in home the just became very dry and have no shine...so what is that liquid that barber sprayed over my hairs??
I have a question, is it true that the layrite hair clay is a bad product because of the petrolatum in it? I saw it coming by on google and was wondering what is true of it.
Wish I watched this review before I dropped $30 CAD on the layrite clay. I had the same experience, super responsive and styles great at first. But a couple hours later and the hold just fails so hard.
Robin James maybe label m matte paste. I was considering buying it (since you love it so much). And i am curious about the differences. Kevin Murphy is my alltime favourite brand but i love trying new influences
Your experience with hold is kinda strange to me ive been using cement clay for a year now and its hands down the best ive used after work and a hard workout my hair still looks great and it doesnt get too hard
Sooo I have extremely fine hair and I have a cowlick in the front I also keep my hair fairly long would this stuff work for me to try and contain the front cowlick That's what my hair salon lady said I'm just curious if there's any other long haired men here that would know
I started viewing your videos when I was 14. I am a superfan. All of your videos are exciting.I came across your channel in 2016.The first video I viewed from your channel is how to use hair mousse.I must say you are doing a good job.I myself love these stuff. Cheers😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Have you tried Fuertes Clay? I got it and it reminds me a lot to Patrick M3. A Brand Battle between these 2 would be a Good one. Excellent video as always Robin, your hair is looking good
Oh my God, finally! I've been very busy these past few weeks so I wasn't able to catch up on your videos these past few days :( I'm glad I'm just right on time! Thank you again, Robin! Your videos are helping me become confident. They even actually help me release stress.
Great video! Can anyone help me with this question. I’ve been using Layrite Cement Clay for 4 days now and the build-up (despite using cleaning shampoo) is awful. My hair is greasy and limp. Does anyone know of a similarish product that ACTUALLY washes out easily?
As much as smell and feel and all that is important, at the end of the day how the product works is what's important to me. If the one that won out of these two is the more disappointing of the two, im not sure how it won. I do appreciate the in depth review of both of them, but if the one that is disappointing one, and the one that you would trust more lost, that seems like the weighting is off. I do love this series though, and that may be just because of what I'm looking for in a product. I appreciate the review and comparison between products!
Hello Sir, I am in need of a good product for my Fine and Sensitive hairs. I thought Clay based products would be a better choice but getting Hanz de Fuko claymation in India is an expensive affair (considering my first outing with clays) Can you please suggest me some good clays that would help me keep a voluminous hairdo without damaging my hairs and scalp. With good price and availability in India.. 🙂
try reuzel fiber. Thickening for fine hair. Such an excellent product. Seriously though, I would try the Lockharts if you can get it reasonable. It is an excellent product as well. Both are superb. I dont know what kind of products you have readily available though. Give me some info on what brands you can get your hands on and I'll see what I can find. I have 150+ pomades and am a hoarder haha. Dumb hobby, but at least I know a wee bit about what certain products can do at this point. Nostalgic Clay is awesome, as well as their matte water based
ZacharySArnold I have brands like Loreal, Gatsby, osmo, Schwarzkopf, got to b and few other indian brands at my disposal. But they all are just for styling and cause damage to hairs in the long run. At present, i am using Loreal Homme Sculpte 3 and it will be used fully within upcoming 4-5 months. That's why i want to shift to a better and go to product after that. Which would help my hairs style without damaging it considering the Indian weather conditions. So, if i am about to buy a 20$ product, i should be sure enough that it will suit me and i can use it for an year or so That's why so much of research and talking. 😅
Robin James What would you suggest sir ? Should i go for clay based products for fine, flat hairs and if yes then with which one should i start with ??
naomaan khan the unfortunate truth is, you cant know what product will suit your hair completely until you try it. As I said before, typically reuzel is available in many countries. A lot of these brands are available through a supplier for your country. Check Amazon. Looks like the 4oz fiber is available for 2199 rupees
I have fine hair and just purchased layrite cement clay a day before this video cause I heard it's good, holds very well and doesn't flatten your hair but after this video now I wish I bought lockhart xD Anyway you're doing good work with these videos.
Hey Robin! Love the series and I have a suggestion...it would be really helpful if you could include the price of the products in the video like you used to. Keep up the great content. Cheers.
I have both, and the terrible hold and greasy look (at least for me) of Layrite is a 100% dealbreaker for me. It loses form so fast while Lockhart keeps it's hold all day for me. Lockhart also has a very nice subtle earthy scent whereas Layrite has a REALLY strong vanilla/rootbeer scent. Smells nice at first until I catch whifs of it all day long, I get sick of it pretty fast. Maybe there's better out there, but Lockharts matte clay is by far the best I've ever used
I hear ya on the Layrite. I'm actually on my 2nd container as it's been great during application & washout but I agree with you on the hold & greasy look. I use less to prevent the waxy sheen that comes with heavy applications but then it won't hold too great. I'm going to branch out to clays/pastes from here on out.
So good to have Brand Battle back. I’m so glad so many of you are enjoying it.
Robin James how r u robin

Very helpful. I've been using it for a year or more. I'm going to try this tomorrow.
Yes it work. Tq
Wait, I think you could remove points if you wanted because it's your channel and you can do whatever you want lol. Awesome vid anyways!
But if I started doing that there would be no purpose in having a points system.
@@ManForHimself it could be part of the point system . Or you could give both products a score or amount of points and if its severely disappointing like the hold give them a 0 or negative points.

Overall great job, I really like your reviews :)
Do the Layrite matte cream. That’s the one most barbers use cause it isn’t as heavy as the clay. I have thick hair and it works perfectly.
LuckEdude _ I might try it. How does it hold up throughout the day? I have very thick hair.
Bad advice. Totally different applications. The clay is for a firm, plyable hold. The creame is for a light, loose hold.
@@jshannon2k8 lockhart's sucks
I think the ingredients should be a category up for grabs.
james please do kevin murphy night rider vs moroccan oil texture clay. they are alex costas fafourite products and i would like to know which is better
What does he say?
Robin James he says that both are great but he doesnt really know for sure
how can a product with abysmal hold come out on top? surely that is the key factor here when all said and done? interesting one again Robin! keep it up! Also take a look at Shear revival pastes, Flagship pastes and Nostalgic Grooming pastes, stellar stuff! the homebrewer market is where its at
ThatsTheBadger hey man, what’s a good paste for me? I want a high hold product. I’ve been using mister pompadour beeswax paste and the Odouds matte paste
In my country Layrite costs slightly lot more. Idk why tho. Just bought Lockhart, I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for the information man

Hi Robin I just wanted to thank you for your Nioxin video. The product helped me a lot, thank you so much. Keep doing this and awesome work
This is good news. Glad it's been working for you.
I've found that the Layrite cement only loses its hold in very humid environments. Day by the beach? It's done. Inside my office during the week? All day hold.
Mr. James, you should do a review or brand battle of the Cardinal brand. I couldn't find anything about it on youtube
Yessss! Latest brand battle.
Thank you for this review Robin.
Layrite smells amazing and I tried to love it but hold was major turn off. Thought it was just me.
Wooooo I’m tellin you Layrite has stepped up their game :) I feel like the hold wasn’t great for you because cement is more suited for Thicker hair so that’s a bummer but honestly it’s great for me
Surely the hold should be even better in my hair because it's so light?
Robin James well I figured that since it’s probably one of the heaviest products I’ve personally used it would make super weigh down fine hair and not give much hold compared to thick hair that could work with it more. I could be completely wrong but that’s just my 2 cents

Been watching your vids for about 2 months but now im subbed! Yay!
Ah, great! Welcome.
I just bought layrite. It's an amazing clay. The only problem I have with it is, I don't like the smell. It's smells sort of like coconut. But it's so easy to apply and style with.
You are 100% right about the layrite, I always find myself resetting it constantly through the day, but it does not have a very good hold.
Hold just isn't good enough!
I wonder how the Layrite would respond to medium-length thick hair?
I understand where you're coming from on this Robin but I personally like the Layrite much more than you did. I wear a low fade with my hair on top about 1.5 inches and the Layrite is perfect for it. Unfortunately the Lockharts is a bit greasier and the wind at work seems to stand the hair up and leave it up, not a good look for me.

Thanks for the review!
Robin, what product do you like most that you use now? I’d imagine it has great hold AND gives volume too (after prestyle)
Im loving the hair in this video Robin! So cleannnn!
Thank you
Great upload Robin,
I find that American Crew products have the same problem as Layrite;
they start off looking great and fall like a ton of bricks by the end of the day.
Reuzel clay and reuzel fiber, please make a video with your impressions or a brand battle I would really like to know your opinion
Me too! I really like Reuzel Fiber and need to try their clay out soon. Wonder what Robin thinks about them.
I'm sorry but I honestly don't know what you're doing if layrite didn't have long hold for you. I've used it on many different lengths for years, and it lasts me all day, sometimes even next day.

Never found a product that wasn’t a massive hold gel, that would hold my hair, so, Layrite for its initial performance and freeze it with hairspray I guess
Which clay have you tried that has the most hold? I was also disappointed with layrite cement clay. May try Lockhart's.
You should review Sickmore clay fiber.
Will need to try!
I just love these videos, please keep them coming Robin. Also i'm curious about which is your favourite finishing product for maximum hold.
Thanks Thomas. I love Wella Silvikrin Classic, maximum hold!
I agree with Layrite Cement hold sucking. I used to have it.
Not great at all!
Should start this with other items like fragrance or clothing e.g. are Adidas better than Nike for running or tom Ford vs creed?
Would love to, Thomas. It's definitely on the list!
Hi Robin, could you do a review on Sebastian craft clay? Maybe do a brand battle with it vs Blacklabel craft clay. Great content as always, keep it up! 👍
Thank you for the suggestion.
Are Taft products like molding clay or Syoss hair wax good? I have thin hair and I want to get it in shape and to just be in control of my hairstyle.
Hi Robin, I just wanted to ask you one question: could you please reply with all the hair products you use (shampoo, conditioner, wax etc) ?

I was hoping to see your opinion of the Carter fortify clay, maybe against baxter of california or something?
Need to get on it!
Im very happy you uploaded this!
Kevin murphy powder puff vs by vilain blow
LOVE this suggestion
Robin i really want u to answer this....my barber spray some liquid on my hair and then blow dry my hair then my hair became silky smoth soft and have more volume and shine .. i have thin hair...usually when i blow dry my hair in home the just became very dry and have no shine...so what is that liquid that barber sprayed over my hairs??
I have a question, is it true that the layrite hair clay is a bad product because of the petrolatum in it? I saw it coming by on google and was wondering what is true of it.
Hey Robin could you review the dollar shave club hair products. I keep hearing about them in ads.
Hey Thomas, will pop on the list.
New version of layrite is awesome, great hold, nice matte, love it. Great brand battle.
Is the Layrite cement clay redone in the same packaging some years ago, or are you referring to Layrite super hold?
Ayy Robin what products would you use for a 90s Leo Depp slick back, and how would the combination of that and a fade look? Too much? Do tell 😁
Wish I watched this review before I dropped $30 CAD on the layrite clay. I had the same experience, super responsive and styles great at first. But a couple hours later and the hold just fails so hard.
I wish it were more common for brands to sell inexpensive samplers.
Can you please do a brand battle on apothecary 87 clay pomade and claymation
Can you do a Brand Battle with Kevin Murphy free hold? Id love it
Is there something in particular you'd like it against?
Robin James maybe label m matte paste. I was considering buying it (since you love it so much). And i am curious about the differences. Kevin Murphy is my alltime favourite brand but i love trying new influences
Your experience with hold is kinda strange to me ive been using cement clay for a year now and its hands down the best ive used after work and a hard workout my hair still looks great and it doesnt get too hard
Make a video on By vilain and Baxter of California products in brand battle
Which ones?
P.S. Please is a word I love.
Please review Anchors Courage Clay!!!! Amazing video by the way! Much appreciated👏🏼
Layrite cement is my go to product...lockhart was disappointing for me...the hold was nill while cement holds forever
Sooo I have extremely fine hair and I have a cowlick in the front I also keep my hair fairly long would this stuff work for me to try and contain the front cowlick That's what my hair salon lady said I'm just curious if there's any other long haired men here that would know
Please do ByVilain Powermade and Mister Pompadour Peppermint Pomade. Both look same but what's the difference? Please do a brand battle.
James please review hairbond btw love your vids!!!
I started viewing your videos when I was 14. I am a superfan. All of your videos are exciting.I came across your channel in 2016.The first video I viewed from your channel is how to use hair mousse.I must say you are doing a good job.I myself love these stuff. Cheers😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

Big fan of Lockhart’s I might have to check out the Matte Clay one of these days.
Have you tried Fuertes Clay? I got it and it reminds me a lot to Patrick M3. A Brand Battle between these 2 would be a Good one. Excellent video as always Robin, your hair is looking good
Still to try, It's on the list! (a rather long list!)

Dynamite clay vs baxter of California/ Cavalier clay of blumaan. Next brand battle. Great video btw
Hey Aftab, the battles are fairly well planned in advance so it wouldn't be next one but will add to list.
Great video! Can anyone help me with this question. I’ve been using Layrite Cement Clay for 4 days now and the build-up (despite using cleaning shampoo) is awful. My hair is greasy and limp.
Does anyone know of a similarish product that ACTUALLY washes out easily?
How’s the smooth viking clay
Is that the new or old lockharts formula
Really good point. Will check.
lockharts clay or baxter of california clay?
Ur hair looks amazing in this video! what we're u using?

So, if i am about to buy a 20$ product, i should be sure enough that it will suit me and i can use it for an year or so
That's why so much of research and talking. 😅
Good suggestions from the guys below.

What would you suggest sir ?
Should i go for clay based products for fine, flat hairs and if yes then with which one should i start with ??
naomaan khan the unfortunate truth is, you cant know what product will suit your hair completely until you try it. As I said before, typically reuzel is available in many countries. A lot of these brands are available through a supplier for your country. Check Amazon. Looks like the 4oz fiber is available for 2199 rupees
Hey Robin any more vlogs coming? Also, thank you for the brand battle!
Could be soon!
I have fine hair and just purchased layrite cement clay a day before this video cause I heard it's good, holds very well and doesn't flatten your hair but after this video now I wish I bought lockhart xD Anyway you're doing good work with these videos.
Hey Robin! Love the series and I have a suggestion...it would be really helpful if you could include the price of the products in the video like you used to. Keep up the great content. Cheers.
I think AC have a better hold, for sure.
Nice vid, I’ve bin looking for a new clay that has hi hold, lo shine, and easy to use
You going to try one of these?
Robin James yea most likely
Would you recommend the Lockhart's clay over Apothecary 87's clay?
Ooh... that is such a hard question! I'm not sure I would, but then I love them both for different things.
I REALLY like your hair like this.
Thanks!
Robin James Can you do a tutorial on this or tell us what you used and how you did it?
I have both, and the terrible hold and greasy look (at least for me) of Layrite is a 100% dealbreaker for me. It loses form so fast while Lockhart keeps it's hold all day for me. Lockhart also has a very nice subtle earthy scent whereas Layrite has a REALLY strong vanilla/rootbeer scent. Smells nice at first until I catch whifs of it all day long, I get sick of it pretty fast.
Maybe there's better out there, but Lockharts matte clay is by far the best I've ever used
I hear ya on the Layrite. I'm actually on my 2nd container as it's been great during application & washout but I agree with you on the hold & greasy look. I use less to prevent the waxy sheen that comes with heavy applications but then it won't hold too great. I'm going to branch out to clays/pastes from here on out.
