If you've got short-to-medium straight hair like me that lays flat without product, this is your jam. Gives your hair a texturized, natural looking hold without the hard, shiny crust that other products do. Noticeable difference maker on a good cut.
@@zey2637 I'm a musician and use it every gig I play, which last normally between 2-4 hours under the bright lights with lots of movement. It's not marathon-like perspiration but yes, it lasts. If you're worried, you can always give a very light spritz of hairspray for some assurance and you won't need much.
Robin James hows does this compare to the other 2 powders you tried in brand battle? I have shorter hair and do like the styling qualities of the powders. This one did not seem super matte when you were styling though 🤔
My barber used and recommended this product for me today after my cut and I really liked how it worked in my hair. I have fine hair and it really gave my top good texture and workability. I was a little taken back when he charged me $20 for the small bottle but I liked it so much I bought it anyways. I'm going to try to look for it online cheaper. I give the product 5 stars!
@@lokeumkerd437 try to shampoo your hair less, maybe 3-4 days a week at most and condition almost every day, and make you sure condition right after you shampoo
I use this product in Iran, it's an amazing powder , amazing , very well High quality And most important thing , this product doesn't change your hair color or any effect
Awesome video Robin! I really liked the review and the editing style. I've followed your channel for quite a while now and now it is one of my favourite channels, keep up the great work!
Hi there! My barber uses this on me when I get a hair cut. Your definetly right in that it is best used with shorter hair with texture. I have hair that is faded close at the sides and back and thicker at the top. Mat is a good way to describe it. Puts it directly on my hair and blends it in. It adds a lot of volume and texture to my hair, which is a problem I tend to have because my hair tends to go flat. The hold is really amazing! It lasts all day for me, and comes out with shampoo.
I just bought some off amazon and just like you i was suprised too. Its everything you expect it too be but better. So imma give it a 5/5 stars cuz im kinda hooked now. I have straightish hair and its pretty long ( come over atm). Anyways it gives alot of volume and make ur hair feel like a sea salt spray but this is maluable and stays where you want it just like a pomade should.
I went to my barbers this week, and he used this when I saw it I was a little baffled, however the texture in which it gives it crazy, super easy to put in and if you want to change your a little you can I’ll change it later on. I quite highly recommend as I’ve been experimenting with Toni & Guy clay but personally felt like the slick gorilla was a better option! Love the high quality of your videos mate! 👍🏻
So. I know I am showing up to the party late...but, I have medium long hair and I would not say that it is for just short hair. It does provide volume and texture to long hair as well. I would avoid the ends obviously, but for guys who have longer, straight flat hair, this can not only give you a little boost, but after a full shampoo, it can give you back that slightly dirty look that gives me more of a gritty texture. Which I prefer than the silky soft look. Overall though...I love pretty much everything you do. I am a subscriber for life.
Thank you for this. This was exactly the comment I was looking for as I do want my hair to be clean, but after I wash it, it tends to fall flat. Then if I sleep on it while it is fresh, it would tend to get matted. I can't wait to give this powder a try!
I have a story lol So at my job I do industrial flooring & one of the biggest flaws especially when prepping is the amount of dust it be on the air, & over the years I realized when dust particles in the air are just going on my hair it starts to make my hair really stiff & if I want my hair a certain way it can, I still love going to work when their is dust so I can fix up my hair lmao I’d go to the bathroom after my hair is dusty then I put some water & wow the amazing things you can do with your hair!! Only flaw tho is that is dust lmao which led me here to think of an alternative which is powder & boom I’m here on this video lol I think this is somehow similar
I can completely related to this! When I've been sanding walls my fine hair actually has volume and hold. If hair powder recreates that effect I'm sold. Cheers mate!
Cheers Robin ! Amazing review Mate. Out of topic question - Where I could buy glasses exactly like yours (rimless) ? I am super intrigued by how well they look! Thanks. Claudio ! Appreciate your vids mate.
It’s good for holding the bulk of it up, but I find the end of the fringe (the bit that goes back) always falls to the side of my face and needs to be pulled back every few mins
Robin could you please make an updated video about how to thicken fine hair? I use a thickening shampoo once (twice max) a week as well as argan oil and I feel like I’m still not doing enough. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like some guidance from the main man himself. Btw I really enjoyed this video, all the best.
Robin James I also have the same concern. Please do a video on it. I’m using Nioxin, per your recommendation. And it has worked well. Would love to know if you have any other recommendations.
Yeah but if you go out with styled hair every day... How long does this last? Does it feel like you don't WANT it in your hair after that day? Meaning you're shampooing your hair every day which doesn't sound healthy? This has always been my issue with styling products.
It seems to last forever... as long as it's still in the hair, it's just a physical thing that makes it grippy. The shorter the hair is, the more it grips (big difference). You could totally sleep with it in the hair... Ideally one would remove it daily though and start fresh the next day as far as styling goes, particularly if you style it from wet the next day. Could also wake up with some extra goofy-looking hair. Shampooing one's scalp daily is the most healthy way to shampoo one's scalp, provided their hair shafts can tolerate it as far as dryness and whatever goes (if not, then dial it back). So, for he typical guy-length hair that is not super coily, it is ideal to shampoo it daily, for optimal scalp health (also at that length and hair type, no conditioner is required).
I tried this out and it didn't do much for my hair. I have thicker hair and it seems like the product just made my hair feel like I had hairspray in, not much texture either.
It’s really good for that messy styled bed head look. I’ve been using it for over a year now and no complaints. If you have short - medium length hair it’s pretty good. And it can be restyled fairly easier given it’s a lot lighter than a clay or wax type that’ll make your hair feel tacky I think this product is met for like the messy fringe look tbh.
How is this product your on a scalp that’s more sensitive and how long does on your hair? How many days are how often should you wash it off your hair?
I love this product it gives you a natural look. It looks like you put nothing in your hair. I have slick back with a 3 on the sides.with a blend on the sideburns. The ladies love it😍
I’ve been having trouble with this brand for a couple months now, it used to be really good and I loved it, however I’m finding that it makes my hair super dry and brittle and no matter how much I try to rehydrate my hair, after use of the product, it dehydrates my hair again, any advice ??
I have an undercut currently. My hair is wavy/curly and maybe 3/4 your length. Would you recommend this for a messy look or is there a better product to try?
I have longer hair than you I struggle to get my hair to stay I use clay and lots of hair spray... I'm looking at a powder like this what would you recommend. My hair falls out after about 2 hours.
Is there anything on the market that's less tacky and more like a baby powder? A bit like a dry shampoo with good workability, my hair does get quite oily quick and I find it hard to get a comb/brush through my hair with something that's too sticky/tacky
I've heard alot of mixed reviews so im not sure if those reviews were just information that wasnt true. Silica dimethicone silylate, some were saying if accidentally inhaled could cause serious lung damage. Now I mean obviously if you powder your head there is going to be fine particles still in the air with that stuff. Can Silica dimethicone silylate cause irreversible lung damage or are they confused with silica, crystalline silica??? or is anything silica all the same?? i want to use this stuff but then i dont from what ive read
My Slick Gorilla Clay Pomade honest review is up...

Bro is it bad for hairs or not?
@@intuition8145 kinda late but not if you take showers everyday but assuming you do it’s not bad
@@_.Cruz0 do you have to wash your hair everyday with shampoo or just every other day and on the others just wash with water?
@@lokeumkerd437 try to shampoo your hair less, maybe 3-4 days a week at most and condition almost every day, and make you sure condition right after you shampoo
20$ is not expensive for hair products at all
This works really well with a cropped fringe for those rocking that look - gives mine a load of texture and shape and looks slick with a skin fade
How much do you put in?
Tcave 12345 my barber uses it at the end of a haircut, in a small bottle like that just give it about 5 or so taps across your hair
I hate the “wet” look from gel so this was perfect for me. Lasts all day. You cant even tell you have product in your hair
I use this product in Iran, it's an amazing powder , amazing , very well
High quality
And most important thing , this product doesn't change your hair color or any effect
Bought this product at the weekend, I love it, the hold and the texture was fantastic, good to see you enjoyed it too.
Does it feel sticky or greasy
@@teefx5681 neither, it feels dry, sort of like you went swimming in the sea earlier and now your hair is dry
@@rhianc7347 how it works on windy days? is it good enough or it also requires hair spray?

You are very kind. Thank you.

Loving the way your facial hair is styled.
Thanks Hoody!
As a Devil fan, I have big issues with the devils resigning both McLeod and Foote during the offseason. They absolutely knew
I really like how your hair looks in this video Robin!
I wonder what Robin used to style his hair in this video. Was it only the powder?
@@konrad8015 It wasn't this time. I used a Kevin Murphy pre-styler and Shear Revival!
Robin, how did your beard get so great? :D Do share the secret!
Love your videos! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Thank you!
How does it hold up to physical activity/sweating?
"Tribal Chimp" is half the price and works just as good.
I came here looking for a review on that so thanks mate
Always use your videos, thanks for the help man!
Thanks very much. Glad you're enjoying.
this stuff is magic, I have 6 cowlicks with the talent of my barber and this stuff I have an awesome hair style!!
Finally, I’ve waited for this vid!!
Hope you enjoyed it?

Appreciate your vids mate.
Thanks for the great content Robin- very helpful
How about every second week? Don't want to over stack your work
I like you, Conor. Looking out for me!
They have this stuff called Wam Bam that is a hair volumizing powder
It’s good for holding the bulk of it up, but I find the end of the fringe (the bit that goes back) always falls to the side of my face and needs to be pulled back every few mins
robin can we use this powder everyday i mean is it safe for daily use ?

Can we possibly get a quick monthly video for favorites or most used products?
Hi Robin is it harmful for hair ? Coz ... my hair is oily and short . i used powder , before going to bed i washed but it is hard to clean
Düz Adam I’m trying to figure out the same thing
Robin I should recommend :
One day - hair product review
One day - hair styling tutorial
One day - fashion and grooming
What say???

Hey Robin, Fudge also has a version of this. It'd be nice if you could review that as well. Thanks.
it just makes my hair really greasy looking
How does this compare to the previous hair powder u reviewed? VO5 and Got2b.
Brilliant video Robin loved it
Thanks Matthew
It’s really good for that messy styled bed head look. I’ve been using it for over a year now and no complaints.
If you have short - medium length hair it’s pretty good. And it can be restyled fairly easier given it’s a lot lighter than a clay or wax type that’ll make your hair feel tacky
I think this product is met for like the messy fringe look tbh.
how long does one pack last you avg?
@@JJS55 I good amount of time, probably as long or longer than a a hair clay container on average.
Would love to see a comparison video between this and American Crew Boost Powder!
How did you do your hair in this video? I love it.
Your hair in this video spots on!!!
Thanks Minh.
if you sweat does it go onto your face and cause acne or make your face shiny? Someone with experience please answer thanks!
What product do you use in your hair usually? Like for the other parts of this video, for example. I have similar length hair and would like to know.
How is this product your on a scalp that’s more sensitive and how long does on your hair? How many days are how often should you wash it off your hair?
what’s the best product for strong hold but no shine. i want my hair to stay in place but look like there nothing in there/natural look
A good clay will do that
can i sleep with it or should i washmy hair before sleeping? and how long does it will last?
Heard this dries your hair out after use even after shampoo and condition?
Not for me. Granted, today’s the first day I’ve used it.
I love this product it gives you a natural look. It looks like you put nothing in your hair. I have slick back with a 3 on the sides.with a blend on the sideburns. The ladies love it😍

I have an undercut currently. My hair is wavy/curly and maybe 3/4 your length. Would you recommend this for a messy look or is there a better product to try?
the question is. what are u using in the video?
What’s the different between normal wax and powder wax
could I use this directly unto wet hair?! or it just works better with dry hair?!
Question, use this first or hair fibers first?
Do you recommend this powder or the clay? Let me know please thanks
more product reviews please robin
Cheers Lucas. Will see what I can do!
I have longer hair than you I struggle to get my hair to stay I use clay and lots of hair spray... I'm looking at a powder like this what would you recommend. My hair falls out after about 2 hours.
Is there anything on the market that's less tacky and more like a baby powder? A bit like a dry shampoo with good workability, my hair does get quite oily quick and I find it hard to get a comb/brush through my hair with something that's too sticky/tacky
Why some people say this makes their hair greasy and some say it’s a Matt finish. Which one is it😂
can I use it as pre styler before clay as post styler?
Is it just an expensive Got2b powderful?
so does this mean if you use it every day that you have to wash your hair every day too?..
Before you use slick gorilla does your hair needs to be dry ?
