I wish Robin would talk more about this product and compare it to others in a brand battle. It’s been incredible for my thick hair without making it look “stringy” with a high hold product. Was so grateful for this video years ago.
You can mix it with the night rider for extra hold. I get my clients to buy the minis and mix them around a little depending on what kinda hold they want. It gives them all kinds of styles to try:)
I don't even think it's that expensive. I mean, yes it costs more than an average storebought product, but you need to apply a lot less. A container of Kevin Murphy (no matter which one, I've tried all but the gel one) lasts me way longer than a cheaper brand that claims to have about the same properties.
I've been using KM Free Hold for about a month now. It's all right. It's easy to style with and I like the feeling it gives your hair. It's barely holding your style though, so it's better to use something stronger on a windy day instead, or in addition to. The smell is a bit too strong for my taste. It has a very sweet vanilla fragrance so some might not find it very manly. But I'm fine with it. It washes off easily and doesn't do anything bad to your hair.
I love the "Honest Review" concept! In fact, I think you could really make a cool series out of this. What I mean by that is obviously you could do reviews on hair products but why stop there? You should do "honest reviews" on certain pieces of clothing or accessories or even clothing stores! Just my opinion though lol great video as always Robin!
Have ya seen ModernManTV's video on them? Apparently he has the exact same formula as TheSalonGuy and MisterPompadour. Apparently they all shared the same lab and just changed their labels.
Although I really enjoy clays, they tend to dry my hair, and since I used oil-based ones, it’s a pain to wash out (even if I can just shampoo, I don’t want to shampoo everyday just so I can get rid of product, especially if it’s for daily use) I wasn’t sure what to do until I found this video. Free Hold is very easy to rinse out, is very easy to use, has a slight gloss, and it has loads of texture! This is now my go-to product because of you and I couldn’t be any happier. Which pre-stylers would you recommend for both volume and texture? And you also said that I should avoid shampoos that smooth? I was actually thinking about getting smooth.again, but now I’m not sure. Gloss Moderne maybe? I can’t thank you enough!
Very good review. I have medium-long hair. Is Free Hold the best Kevin Murphy product for creating a cool messy/lazy boy/surfer look? How about Kevin Murphy Undressed? Which one is better? Thank you!
Might have to try this one or one of the others from Kevin Murphy. They seem to work really well with your hair type, which is great since mine is very similar: fine, but lots of it and it generally does what it's told. Once again, I love your complete honesty in these videos, so definately a yes from me for a series of these types of videos. 💙
Might seem like a strange thing, but as a man I don’t really see $35 for a hair product to be expensive. Sure, it’s more than the American crew fiber at CVS, but what people don’t think about is that these aren’t something that you go through fast. This product, as well as others, can last you months, even up to a year. $22 for 6 months - 1 year is a pretty damn good value to me
Can you try out by villain dynamite clay and sidekick. I asked it once but I asked for gold digger but now that I researched it gold digger is not good for hair that's thin/fine. If you do get it thank you so much! Btw I love your unique way of editing and style in general.
byvilain products are shit... its just like glue, its really bad don't look into them, they just use advertisement and popular youtubers to cover up for their awful products. You will be better off with something better like daimon barber
It's one of their new product, I am using it at the moment too! Really like it, but the smell to me it's pretty exotic I would say, very relaxing. It's been my go to product. And about the price Kevin Murphy has more volume than Hanz de Fuko. I think if you divide the price by the volume of product you are getting it's pretty much the same , and it lasts you longer. One can last you around half year.
i have this and I really like it, but after 1-2 hours it feels like there's no product in my hair and feels like my norma unstyled hair, is that just how it is?
I dont have long hair any more and im cheap lol okay just dont need 3 waxes but i have free hold and knight rider and mix it gets a similar hold to rough rider but a nice lighter look..
I'm looking to do a short haired combover, which of his products do you think would work best? Also can you use it as a stand alone product in place of a gel?
Man I've hair like yours, but I can't really control the back; anyway can you make a Slicked back (not site parted, no Lines but just straight back) hair tutorial? I'd really appreciate it, congratulations for the success of your channel, really enjoy your videos. Bye
Hey Robin I've been looking for an alternative to HDF's Quicksand product? Which other paste do you think gives that same feel and thickness to your hair as Quicksand?
+J Kellan yeah I have fine hair pretty much like Robin so instead of going thru the pain of trying to keep a quiff up all day with my hair the way it is, I just make it messy in the front and Quicksand does that best
Is this something I could use daily? and would I need to use shampoo each day to get it out of would just using water suffice? as my hair drys out easily. Thanks :)
+Robin James Hello Robin! Have you used the American Crew Grooming Cream and the D:Fi D:struct cream? Those two have been cremes that, after going through so many brands on and off line, have turned out to have a decent amount of hold. I use them as pre stylers for my quiff, and was wondering if this one would be a good prestyler as well! They say their product is a medium hold. I was wondering if you knew how this Kevin Murphy product would compare to those two! Thanks!!!
The smell is like my perfume. It is really noticeable. I've never cared about that before I'm a guy that don't notice that stuff but this was different.. it's awesome
Thank you for sharing your videos, I have the same hair type and cut :-) Can you or anyone else advise me what the difference is or which I should buy between Night rider, Gritty business or Claymation, thank you!
Does this product leave a residue in your hair? Trying to find a product that I can still run my hands through and still feel natural like there's no product in it.
This is a light wax product. Hair dont feel very free actually, even if you use a small amount of it. Very oily as well. I expected something more soft with a natural look. It isn't.
I’ve been using it on and off for over a year and I’ve had a similar experience (minus the oiliness). I think that the one you and I have is a newer formulation, where they bumped the wax content up a notch. This might have been done to distance this product from their easy rider cream, since that one truly offers a loose hold.
Hey Robin, so I have a question so if you could reply that'd be great. But here's my question, I feel like I have really hard to manage hair in terms of styling. As a result I can't do a lot of the hairstyles that you do that I would like to do. That being said, would a short hairstyle be easier, or should I grow it out some more? My hairs about 5 inches on top and faded on the sides and back from a half guard to blending it with the scissors. Anybody else's suggestions are welcomed too. Or you could even recommend me maybe a stronger product that I could try.
+Robin James thanks for replying Robin! No, I can't say that I've experiment a whole lot with products, when I look at all the products I don't know where to start, do you have any recommendations of something I should try? And yes I do have super thick, straight hair
So a few weeks ago I tried cutting my own hair, but I really messed it up. I cut it too high and it looks really weird. Its gonna take a couple months to fix itself. Should I shave it off or try to deal with it?
Extremely late but if you still use this after using anything after a day wash your hair let it try and then in the morning when your going to school if your still in school put some in and style it love this stuff
Great video as usual Robin! Question, have you tried out the "Full.Again" thickening lotion by Kevin Murphy? I have quite fine hair, and am looking for a pre-styling thickener to help my hair appear more full/thick. Or, if you have any other recommendations, feel free to share those as well. Thanks!
This brand is a bit harder to find in stores, and apparently not sold online by Kevin Murphy? I usually only find the overpriced amazon version, or have to drive out to a salon.
Today I fucked up. I went into the hairdressers and asked for a fade with long top and now I look like a depressed pineapple. I didn't know face shape went into consideration... Kill me.
Try to swap the cheapest product and the most expensive by the box... i hate KM. Causes Allergy and the finish is the same What You can find in rossman or boots shop...
Bumble & bumble: Sumotech. Semisumo. Sumowax. Morris Motley. And the only ones I haven't tried but am super super curious about are the wax/pastes by Oribe. There is little to no reviews on them--which is why I've yet to purchase them. My hairstylist says they are amazing. But then again people said that about Sponge Wax which was a dud.
What do you think - should ‘Honest Review’ be a new series for my channel? 🤔
Yes Yes YES!!!!! It would make a great series!!
Yes! I am proud that you did a Kevin.Murphy. It made my day better.
Yess please Robin!
You make such good reviews👌
great series robin, i always love your perspective about hair products, keep it up.
Yes
I wish Robin would talk more about this product and compare it to others in a brand battle. It’s been incredible for my thick hair without making it look “stringy” with a high hold product. Was so grateful for this video years ago.
I love it when you do hair product reviews. One of the only male youtubers I can trust about everything👏👌
Thanks Andrew. Appreciate you sticking with me.
You can mix it with the night rider for extra hold. I get my clients to buy the minis and mix them around a little depending on what kinda hold they want. It gives them all kinds of styles to try:)

A container of Kevin Murphy (no matter which one, I've tried all but the gel one) lasts me way longer than a cheaper brand that claims to have about the same properties.
Just got this last night and I love the hold and smell 🙌
My boyfriend buys this at his salon and I end up using it all the time. It smells incredible, and it’s quite a unisex scent. I love this product!
I've been using KM Free Hold for about a month now. It's all right. It's easy to style with and I like the feeling it gives your hair. It's barely holding your style though, so it's better to use something stronger on a windy day instead, or in addition to. The smell is a bit too strong for my taste. It has a very sweet vanilla fragrance so some might not find it very manly. But I'm fine with it. It washes off easily and doesn't do anything bad to your hair.
Well, it's good for a loose hold, like I have here.
Smell is amaze!
Agree about ease of washing. Amazing!
I love the "Honest Review" concept! In fact, I think you could really make a cool series out of this. What I mean by that is obviously you could do reviews on hair products but why stop there? You should do "honest reviews" on certain pieces of clothing or accessories or even clothing stores! Just my opinion though lol great video as always Robin!
You're so right, Luke. Fantastic suggestion
Price is not expensive. Excellent hold. Shine is perfect. I have short hair so it works great for me.
You should do a honest review on Alpha M's hair products
Pete and Pedro? I'd like to know how good they are too.
Have ya seen ModernManTV's video on them? Apparently he has the exact same formula as TheSalonGuy and MisterPompadour. Apparently they all shared the same lab and just changed their labels.
+xHibachi24x Yeah, and apparently there are many many others he says that have done the same. And down the rabbit hole we go.
yes!
Still to check them out! I wonder if he'll send me some. ;-)
Let's give him a nudge.
You have amazing hair man. I am thinking about getting this and the night rider and hence came back to re-watch your review
Although I really enjoy clays, they tend to dry my hair, and since I used oil-based ones, it’s a pain to wash out (even if I can just shampoo, I don’t want to shampoo everyday just so I can get rid of product, especially if it’s for daily use) I wasn’t sure what to do until I found this video.

I was actually thinking about getting smooth.again, but now I’m not sure. Gloss Moderne maybe? I can’t thank you enough!
when you sick of all the dramas, just go on a hair and fashion youtuber
so true haha
Very good review. I have medium-long hair. Is Free Hold the best Kevin Murphy product for creating a cool messy/lazy boy/surfer look? How about Kevin Murphy Undressed? Which one is better? Thank you!
You sold me on the scent😊
I'll give it a try👍🏻
Cheers Robin🍸
The smell is EVERYTHING!
Great review. Loved the "shake-out" you did with the product already in your hair :-)
Might have to try this one or one of the others from Kevin Murphy. They seem to work really well with your hair type, which is great since mine is very similar: fine, but lots of it and it generally does what it's told.
Once again, I love your complete honesty in these videos, so definately a yes from me for a series of these types of videos.
💙
Cheers Jelle. Appreciate your continued support on here.
You're hair is just a blessing from god. Wish my hair could go in any direction and hold with ease
Can i have this product after sex months of hair transplant?
6 years later and bro still has no idea what he actually wrote
Hey robin! New to this Chanel and I’m loving it! So what is the best product for quiff?? I use this one and I’m looking for more volume!
Fantastic video, fantastic everything! Just makes me happy seeing your vids in my sub box. Keep being you Robin, you're awesome
Ah, Simon! Thank you.
You have become so formal and corporate-y! -_-
I loved the old sporty funky robin! :D
But great review as always!
Love your videos mate!
I think it's just an age thing. I've grown up. And this is my business.
I still feel the same. I'm just more knowledgeable and I really know who I am.
+Robin James Ah that's true!
Might seem like a strange thing, but as a man I don’t really see $35 for a hair product to be expensive. Sure, it’s more than the American crew fiber at CVS, but what people don’t think about is that these aren’t something that you go through fast. This product, as well as others, can last you months, even up to a year. $22 for 6 months - 1 year is a pretty damn good value to me
ur great!! the best review of hair products. good job
Can you try out by villain dynamite clay and sidekick. I asked it once but I asked for gold digger but now that I researched it gold digger is not good for hair that's thin/fine. If you do get it thank you so much! Btw I love your unique way of editing and style in general.
Thanks man. Still to try ByVillain products. They contacted me, but I haven't heard back.
byvilain products are shit... its just like glue, its really bad don't look into them, they just use advertisement and popular youtubers to cover up for their awful products. You will be better off with something better like daimon barber
Could do a review on Kevin Murphy "Rough Rider"? :) Would be awesome!
Hi!! Love your videos! Is this easy to wash?
I bought the Freehold from Amazon. The smell was so strong that I literally got physically ill.
Great vid! Need more of these product reviews
Cheers man
Robin is so fabulous in his videos it makes me feel fabulous too.
Cheers Steve!
Do you use this as a pre styler? Thank you in advance robin!
It's one of their new product, I am using it at the moment too! Really like it, but the smell to me it's pretty exotic I would say, very relaxing. It's been my go to product. And about the price Kevin Murphy has more volume than Hanz de Fuko. I think if you divide the price by the volume of product you are getting it's pretty much the same , and it lasts you longer. One can last you around half year.
I think I have to agree with you. I'd take Kevin Murphy over HDF.
i have this and I really like it, but after 1-2 hours it feels like there's no product in my hair and feels like my norma unstyled hair, is that just how it is?
Do an honest review on Fudge Urban Matte Wax - great video btw man!
Hey! I love it. There's honest! Ha ha
Can this be used as a prestyler?
Should you wash your hair before sleeping?
I dont have long hair any more and im cheap lol okay just dont need 3 waxes but i have free hold and knight rider and mix it gets a similar hold to rough rider but a nice lighter look..
I'm looking to do a short haired combover, which of his products do you think would work best? Also can you use it as a stand alone product in place of a gel?
Man I've hair like yours, but I can't really control the back; anyway can you make a Slicked back (not site parted, no Lines but just straight back) hair tutorial? I'd really appreciate it, congratulations for the success of your channel, really enjoy your videos. Bye
I've done a sick back Have you seen it?
And thank you! Appreciate you saying that.
Did you try the easy rider? Would love to know what you think!
Hey Robin I've been looking for an alternative to HDF's Quicksand product? Which other paste do you think gives that same feel and thickness to your hair as Quicksand?
I too am curious for this. HDF quicksand rn is my goto product and I really like it, am wondering what else there is that is similar.
+J Kellan yeah I have fine hair pretty much like Robin so instead of going thru the pain of trying to keep a quiff up all day with my hair the way it is, I just make it messy in the front and Quicksand does that best
Hey mate, not a massive fan of Quicksand. I really like Fudge Matte Hed. Really great paste!
+Robin James I'll check it out thanks :)
The yerba mate is the key
Is there any cologne that smells like this product?
For what hair types would you recommend the product? Fine/Thick/Thin?
Should be good for all types.
Would be fun if you wanted to try Kevin Murphys Super Goo it's something like a new take on gel and it's not suppose to flake nor set!
Can you tell me about your favorite hair product? Such as clay and pomade?
Is this something I could use daily? and would I need to use shampoo each day to get it out of would just using water suffice? as my hair drys out easily. Thanks :)
Robin, the jacket behind you looks great. Can you tell me where you bought it?
Absolutely! I always put clothing links in the description. Give it a click.
Cheers.
And make it a series! Sounds like a good idea
YES!
Killin', killin', killin' it.
Cheers man!
A honest review on the rough rider please , I have km's body builder and it's amazing you should try it
How would
You rate it vs the night Ryder?
+Robin James Hello Robin! Have you used the American Crew Grooming Cream and the D:Fi D:struct cream? Those two have been cremes that, after going through so many brands on and off line, have turned out to have a decent amount of hold. I use them as pre stylers for my quiff, and was wondering if this one would be a good prestyler as well! They say their product is a medium hold. I was wondering if you knew how this Kevin Murphy product would compare to those two! Thanks!!!
Would this be better for a down messy fringe look?
Can this product be a standalone pre styler before blow drying?
and no post hair products?
Hey robin how do you regrow your hair because the back of my hair is falling out and im still 14 shpuld i use castor oil???
The smell is like my perfume. It is really noticeable. I've never cared about that before I'm a guy that don't notice that stuff but this was different.. it's awesome
what’s your perfume? been looking for one that smells just like this :)
Great video again!
I've heard Parabens are bad but what exactly is bad about them?
What do you think about Rough Rider?
You should try the KM plumping shampoo. I really like it. :)
I definitely should!
Hi Robin, can i have a question? My hair is fine and too dry ( not healthy ). Which product i must have to style disconnect undercut, thanks sir!
Nice honest review!!!!
I'd suggest using a deep conditioning treatment to get your hair back to full health.
Hi, can this KM product suitable for thick hair ? Can u recommend any other product as well ?
It is! It's a really great product.
Thank you for sharing your videos, I have the same hair type and cut :-)
Can you or anyone else advise me what the difference is or which I should buy between Night rider, Gritty business or Claymation, thank you!
Does this product leave a residue in your hair? Trying to find a product that I can still run my hands through and still feel natural like there's no product in it.
Mark colon as soon as its in your hair you wont feel it anymore but its still in
This is a light wax product. Hair dont feel very free actually, even if you use a small amount of it. Very oily as well. I expected something more soft with a natural look. It isn't.

I could send anyone who is willing to help a picture of my hair also.
try hairdrying
Stick with it. Have you experimented with products? Is your hair really thick?
+Vincent Kosasih I actually do hair dry my hair, and it does make it easier to style but it's still very difficult. Thanks for the reply :)
+Robin James thanks for replying Robin! No, I can't say that I've experiment a whole lot with products, when I look at all the products I don't know where to start, do you have any recommendations of something I should try? And yes I do have super thick, straight hair
Should or when should I expect a Morris motley review?
Not sure. I don't even own the product!
Hey Robin, where did you get that leather jacket in the back?
Hey mate - there's a link in description
Do an aftershave/fragrance FULL collection video Robin?
On the list!
Could you please do a review on Murrays pomade?
So a few weeks ago I tried cutting my own hair, but I really messed it up. I cut it too high and it looks really weird. Its gonna take a couple months to fix itself. Should I shave it off or try to deal with it?
Keep getting it trimmed to neaten it until it grows to where you want it.
+Robin James Hmm, that's sounds good. Thanks Robin.
After a day, my hairstyle falls and drops, how can I prevent that from happening? School starts in a week and I really need tips.
Extremely late but if you still use this after using anything after a day wash your hair let it try and then in the morning when your going to school if your still in school put some in and style it love this stuff

I've not, but should do!
Actually... that will be coming up soon!
Robin James Awesome, thanks a ton. I'll keep an eye out for the video!
Does it give volume ?
@Robin James can you do a review on more budget friendly products? Specifically American crew forming cream?
Hey, I've done some budget ones but want a real array of products. I like to invest in good products.
please do some test product with the Loreal line studio - like the invisi fix for example
hello men how i know if i have fine hair or i'm thinning?
You should do a review on suavecito pomade
Can you do a review on Kevin murphy rough rider product?
kevin murphy night rider honest review please!!!
This brand is a bit harder to find in stores, and apparently not sold online by Kevin Murphy? I usually only find the overpriced amazon version, or have to drive out to a salon.
It is difficult! Salon is best way forward.
Robin James just have to find one nearby haha
Sick bro ! Plz do ur new hairstyle tutorial ! It's look sick 🔥❤️❤️👏
I kinda did it in this! Ha ha
Today I fucked up. I went into the hairdressers and asked for a fade with long top and now I look like a depressed pineapple.
I didn't know face shape went into consideration...
Kill me.
You could probably style it differently for now
Try to swap the cheapest product and the most expensive by the box... i hate KM. Causes Allergy and the finish is the same What You can find in rossman or boots shop...
Is this easily washable
Amazing video
Bumble & bumble:
Sumotech.
Semisumo.
Sumowax.
Morris Motley.
And the only ones I haven't tried but am super super curious about are the wax/pastes by Oribe. There is little to no reviews on them--which is why I've yet to purchase them. My hairstylist says they are amazing. But then again people said that about Sponge Wax which was a dud.
Good one, Galdino. Will check.
Guys, they also sell smaller containers for a cheeper prize
Nice cut robin!
Thanks Gavin
Have you tried out rough rider?
Hey - I've not. I've used Night Rider.
can you review the product Jack the snipper original matte creme ??? thank you :)))
That thing last two years with me!
