Is this only for the UK ? I was gonna buy the clay but it seems to only be for the UK and not the US
glad to know that Kaolin in clay/paste would be better for thinning hair! didnt know that
but are pomade tend to be oily than clay?
Please suggest me which wax or gel i use to keep my head scalp cool by menthol or any ingredients used in wax or gel that keeps my scapl cool 24x7
J H jhhb
Great video. I use pomades, the one i use is nothing special though, just cheap old spice pomade, high/medium hold and matte finish. Looks real nice!
Which one would you recommend for a completely bald man? They all just make my head look shiny.
Bumble and bumble wig premium
Just water
I used to work at a cosmetic counter and bald men would come in all the time complaining about this. There are mattifying lotions and primers out there. They are mostly intended for the face but you could easily use them on your head. The only downside is that you will go through them a lot faster so the cost may add up. Also, they could irritate your scalp if you have sensitive skin, but it’s worth a shot.

I suggest you rock the clean shave style often can be perceived as badass. Might even be a hit with the ladies depending on your build.

At last, I reduced my dandruff and hair fall.
Step 1: Apply hair oil and let it overnight or for a minimum of 1 hour for it to work.
Secondly, Rinse it out with shampoo.
Step 3: Put on conditioner that you prefer to the roots of your hair.
I used a mild and natural hair fall control kit by littleeextra cococonion for these steps as it's mild and natural, and is considered gud for reducing hair loss.
Incase if you have dandruff, apply lemon juice on your scalp minimum once a week prior to shampooing and wash it off about an hour later.
Quick and to the point, with actual details about ingredients and what they do instead of fluffy words that vaguely describe products, with a bonus warning about differences across brands.
Very good video, thank you lol
Thank you!
Hi Robin I just want to say thank you, you have helped me greatly in the hair department I really do trust what you say, your honesty is refreshing. Your amazing
Thank you, Danielle.
I just recently decided to keep my long "covid hair" (haven't been to a barber in ages), and this video was truly helpful. I have thinning at the crown, so I appreciate your mentioning how these products affect that. Thank you.
Such a great idea! And you matched the products to your backgrounds! I was upset when it ended! You continue to inspire me and my channel! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks very much, Caleb.
I've always used gel. Never thought of using pomade. Looks a thousand times better compared to gel.
Thousand percent is! Try some out
Niko. Bellic no
Yeah, gel feels like there is a weight in my hair, my hair feels heavy when I use gel

Damn that hairstyle using the cream really suits you. I would love it if you make a tutorial for styling that hairstyle
Thank you! And yes. Can be arranged.

The pompadour you styled with the pomade was on point! 👏
Very informative and I love the editing of the video and the different titles and texts you have used! Great quality videos
Straight to the point no adds and tips for people who are balding
10/10 video
This was very informational, and being a person with short hair, it's made me value styling a lot more
Thank you for this! As a female I love to wear my hair in a top bun and my favorite styling cream is discontinued. I think I’ll go for the sumotech or the pomade. My aim is to keep my flyaways down and I have an abundance of fine hair! Thanks again 🤓👍🏼
Hello I’m also a girl. Which product did you end up using. I want to keep my flyaways and frizz down as well. But I have thick, black hair. Which would you recommend?
@@ninjamara2522 Hi there, I ended up getting American crew Pomade which is a water based product with high gloss. I just put a tiny amount on my fly aways and baby hairs.I also really liked Bumble and Bumble Thickening Cream Contour as it reduces frizz. Hope this helps
Thank you, really descriptive and informative video on different hair styling products. The visual examples are just awesome.
I recently decided to kick up my hair game and this video was extremely helpful! Appreciate your time brother!
Great video showing the uses/styles for each type of hair product!
Glad you enjoyed it, Austin.
As far as your hair goes based on this video I'd say creams should be your go to. The loose "flowy" styles work well with you.
As for me, I'm a paste and sometimes clay kind of guy for casual days. Lately though I've been loving Crystal Lake from Shear Revival.
All about the cream too. It felt good!
What's cream? Do you mean wax?
Idk, no matter how I use these products the first wind that catches my hair blows it all to hell.
Ikr 😂, do you use sea salt spray before applying product?
@@zykx2213 Hahaha naah, I just put on some wax (somewhat proper way) and goin' for it
@@zsomborsimon6630 tbh same here with clay 😅🤣
@@zykx2213 Hairspray is my friend
Towel dry, apply hair product, and then comb it and hair dry it into preferred style, and you shd see results! You can always touch it up during the day with a comb or with your hands
I think I will go for the cream. Thanks for the advice!
I love matte clay, it is super easy to use and it looks very clean and natural without the gloss.
Does matte clay not make my hair look thin and shiny?
@@clydealinas1914 Clay is for a matte finish, it's not supposed to shine. If you want shine then use pomade
@shreyas N.B were you not paying attention to the video?
This is actually a very helpful video, without alot of beating around the bush. Thank you!

Great video Robin,
I really love your content. Especially, since you give great advice for guys with thin hair.
Thanks very much!
Thank you ! This really cleared it up for me as my old pomade wasn't doing the trick anymore.
Love the tips, I will be using the information on an upcoming video! I'll be sure to link your channel!
my goodness, this is so well made
Like that you have a full head of hair now(sides grown out). Looks better on you Robin. Great video.👍
exactly what i was searching. looking forward to watching it thanks
Perfect information ,and right to the point,and quick. Thank you.
I love pomades! After I got my first Brylcreem, that’s the thing I’ve been using most of my time
Cream ftw!!
My hair is fine. Thus pomade, gel is not meant for it. As for cream, its the best. It naturally hold the hair.
I’m having a slicked back hairstyle at the moment and I can’t tell you how much a pomade has been helpful.
I've just got short hair after years and before I never used to style it. So this is exactly the video I was lookimg for
Thanks bro I've been wanting a video like this
Glad you liked it.
Ma boy making hair video's in the jungle 😂
I just want to know which hair product is better
You have achieved komedi
@@Danny-or4gw Pomade Is Better, USE POMADE
I have beautiful blonde hair. If I put anything in it it looks thinner and oily. Blonde hair never looks good oily IMO. I tried your cream method, I had actually threw the can of cream in the trash can. I watched your video because you applied the cream when your hair was dry. I dug it out of the trash can and applied to to my hair when it was dry as you did and my hair looks amazing. it holds its place and it’s loose at the same time. Giving me more volume and control. thank you! ❤❤❤❤
I use cream. My hair is curly Type 2 ( wavy). My favorite cream is for wavy and curly hair called Hobby. I just bought another cream called Fonex with pro vitamin B5. I live in Turkey and they have some products for curly hair here. I found these are pretty good for my hair. I like using cream now whereas when my hair was shorter I used pomade. Now that I am growing my hair a little longer the cream is better.
Great video! this gave me some inspiration to use gel again
I like this. All about experimentation!
Great video Robin. Pomades are my go to, but nowadays there's so much versatility within the pomade world that the lines have been blurred. We have traditional oil based (Murrays, Lockharts), traditional water based (Suavecito), unorthodox water based (flagship, grim grease, nostalgic grooming s/wb), but it's a huge reason why I love it. I got my hair cut recently and I'm rocking a shorter more textured look and have been using waxes and clays or a cream pomade like Gray Ghost by Shear Revival. Excellent stuff.
Exactly! The lines are totally blurred. It's just about finding what works for you.
Hi, what pomade do you recommend I should buy? I’m looking to give me a wet look and to restyle my hair throughout the day. Currently growing my hair and use jojoba oil twice a week. Thanks. I’m looking for a water based pomade btw.
Thank you so much for clarifying the differences.
Man you make it so easy for me !
Thank you so much
OK, found this video by accident. Been using gel since the 80's when I was a teenager. Wife recently gave me a sample of Fiber Cream. WHOA what a difference. Adios gel. This video confirms it.
these head shots are hilarious, good info
Thanks for the in-depth hair tips, now I have a better idea of what to get at the store and try out the hair creams and clay products
hey man i just found your channel and thank you for the content, basic gel has always been my go to and then ive tried the wax and pomade recently but i had no idea what i was doing, the videos help a lot
i’m a girl and i recently cut my hair short and i didn’t know where to start with products my mom doesn’t know and my dads not around so thank you for helping me out
@D Gme too
@D G i was rly worried that was gonna be some nsfw acc but actually yes i did like the account
Hey me too I thought I was the only one
grow it back out again you look like a metrosexual boy
Same
This vid blew my mind! I’m on for pomade. I learned this today!!!
Great video Robin🙌 keep up the hustle
I like this guy, he is very professional and has a knoledge on this topic. I'm Nigerian lol, so, black Af, but I might try this product.
When i use wax, after 5 minutes, my hair looks like i didn't washed my hair for 7 days..
Temuujin M them don’t use half the jar
@@cheezuschrist1102 only hair spray can hold my hair
You're using waaaaay too much then
Cheezus Christ use correct grammar..... lol stupid
@Montinik Jr i tried lol, when my friend use dryer, his hair hold its shape very quick and fluffy, but mine is like straight-hard type, falls down 5 minutes later after i dried my hair
Hey Robin! Amazing videos as always, truly impressed with all this amazing content. Pretty much all my men’s style ideas are coming from you. Love it!
I am using the crystal lake revival pomade right now(actually left a review on website) would you suggest the clay or sumo tech from b&b as a replacement or something to do a bit different with hair? Just curious what you think. Thanks as always!
Thanks very much, Sean. This is so great to hear.
I love Crystal Lake and it's totally different from the Bb. products. I'd keep it and add on, if possible. Sumotech is a great product and so versatile. I think you'd like that.
Robin James - thank you Robin, I tried to order sumotech to give that a go, unfortunately it appears bumble doesn’t ship to the US. Is there a place that can ship to the US, no discount code obv but it’s cool, or a different but similar product you could recommend ?
Thanks as always!
much required info... thank you
This is good information, thank you! Subscribed
Hey!!! I was wondering if you could ever do a tutorial on a beach hairstyle any time soon?
Yes its called Wavewash! This look is obtained by actually swimming in the water...goodluck!
Why would you need to style your hair if you’re going to the beach?
Video actually helped a lot!
Looks like clay or pomade is the way for me.
Clay all the way, always been a fave. Full thickness jet black hair like mine just looks bomb matted. Amazing vid!
This video helped me alot! I’m thinking of going for a new hairstyle and pomade is definitely the one type of product that’ll work best with the style I want:) thank you!
I have thinning hair and this video is exactly what I need. I'm gonna buy clay.
Thanks for this Robin I use paste to build volume & pomade for da slick look #peteandpedro👍🏼
Sounds like a great style!
I’m not quite ready to shave my head yet but I’m receding and thinning out. Going to try the clay or cream. Thanks. Ur hair looks amazing to me.
Thank you. Now I know what to buy
Great video, there are so many hair products for sale, these 'back to basics' like videos really help to show what the differences are. 🍚🍙💷
I use water-based ; pomades, clays, creams, then I use either my fine or wide tooth comb to do a side part, then I use hairspray, because I'm someone who doesn't like to keep touching or looking at how my hair is throughout the day, so I use it to make sure it is in the same position as how I left it in. 🚿
Thank you. AND great tip you do!
Which water based pomade do you recommend?
That hairstyle using cream was lit af ❤
Thankyou.... It is either clay or cream to my hair type.🙏😊
hair type is a big factor in what works best for you too, its always good to try an array of products
I can't describe to you how uncomfortable your smirk makes me feel
And the way he turns his head
LOL
Exactly
Ikr, wtfffffff
Yes, it is cringe
Just what i neededdddddddddd
Good to hear!
thankyou! this was very helpful
Thank you for explaining the differences between the products. I oscillate between pastes and pomades.
I'm really thinking about getting a clay and trying it out. Seems perfect for my hair and hairstyle. Sorta leaning towards nostalgic grooming clay, but eh, who knows.
I have a question about clay. Do you need to get hair dampened before you apply it? I normally use volumizing mouse. But it gets my hair so shiny and I want to achieve a matte look. Thank you!
Great video thank you!
This guy is smooth. I could listen to him whilst going to sleep. A calming voice giving advise on hair products.

Last on my list of things to try is cream. I'm hoping this is the one. I'm super dumb with hair, it's really not my forte. I have similar hair to Robin. Gel was a no-go as it left my hair solid and too "wet" looking. Clay seemed to be too dry on my hair, and it is a bit hard to get out(at least the one I tried). Pomade was very much like gel, and like Robin said, it isn't good for every day. It seemed to make my hair look oily but dry when washed out. Praying for cream to be the miracle I need! 🙏
Really appreciate your videos, they are huge for clueless folks like me!
How was it bc ur describing similar hair to mine
@@Max-tj4br cream worked out great for me
You have such perfect hair I'm jealous! Lol
Its not fair. You can use any kind of hair product and still look good. Nice vid btw. Favorite hair product for me has got to be water based pomade with hair mousse. I switched recently with just hair mousse and hair spray to save me some time in the morning 😁
Very helpful. Thank you!
I simply love your videos. God bless you mate. N btw you rock the stubble ..
Thanks very much, Ankush.
Awesome video Robin but when you try Kevin Murphy you never look back ;)
Hi! I’m a girl with a pixie and this was super helpful!
Great vid robin you make the best hair product videos...👍
Thanks very much.
You looked handsome with all of the products but the cream was really doing it for you!
Thanks Secily.
I think gel is something all guys have no idea how to use properly... If you have gel on ur hair and it is hard and rigid, you are using it wrongly. There is an extra step u need to do, that is to ruff up ur hair after it has dried and set. You will realize ur hair becomes soft and malleable again but the shape is still there, it should feel the same as if u applied soft clay or wax.
What is ruff up? If I may ask. I've bern told I can't use greasy products no more and I don't want gel due to it's results...but this sounds encouraging
@@KCDeportes basically break up the rigid clumps of hair which is being held up strong by the gel. It will take multiple attempts to get it right, the first time I did it just became messy. But after a while I realized that gel can be used to achieve the same results as other clay/wax products, the soft and malleable kind.
Short and knowledgeable video thanks
You explained it very well thank you soo much.
what to use for curly messy hair ..if hair is dry curly unable to comb can pomade temporary straightning
straighten your hair
Or just get some curling cream to enhance those curls and make them stand out. I say rock your natural hair.
Bro, your eyes are mesmerizing!
Appreciate the video.
The Blue Steel is Entertaining too lol
Thanks really needed this info! I was always using cheap gells back in the day and wanted to upgrade my hairproducts. I didn't really know what type op product fits which hairstyle. First I tried pomede which was already a big difference. But since my hair is very thin, I'm gonja try a clay next.
Hey man, just found you vids, I roll with a drago type hairstyle, what's the best product for me?
That thumbnail just made my life so easy.

@Robin James Do you think HDF heavymade is good for finer hair? I've heard this pomade, weirdly, gives a more thickening effect..
Hey Usman, I have a review on it. This should help: czcams.com/video/TUAiOOKpns8/video.html
What’s the best product I should get for something that feels like it has no product in the hair ? I have semi long hair which I’m going to slick back but I want something that feels really smooth and almost like I have no product in my hair at all.
I do the same styling. This is what I do.
Tonic + foam + oil
Cream
Paste
Powder
These 4 options leaves a feeling with no product and I rank them for you.
