Hi, I'm Joost and I'm here today with Slick Gorilla Clay Pomade and it really has a strong
0:04
hold and also a little bit of shine to it. It's like a hard clay when it comes out of the tin, but it smells and feels more like
0:13
almost a gel than other clays that I've used. And this is also not a matte clay, but it does have a really firm hold
0:21
This can hold my hair in place all day, but it's not as good for going with your hands
0:27
through your hair during the day and molding it back into place. It doesn't have a hard texture like with some gels, so it's not like your hair is getting
0:37
crispy at all, but it really is more like a shiny pomade
0:41
It's a little bit harder than some of the other clays I've tested
0:47
You can see you really have to rub your hands across the surface of this just to get a little
0:53
out and it's also very sticky. The shine is a little bit more like gel and it also smells a little bit more like a gel
0:59
would smell. So it's a little bit more gel-like than some of the other pomades I've tried, like the
1:04
Shiner Gold, the Layrite or the Uppercut Deluxe. They're all more like this Metro Man kind of coconut vanilla smell
1:12
This is more like a regular gel smell. The way I use this is I rub across the surface of the clay and then take out just a little
1:22
and then rub that all over my hands and then I just apply a little bit to my hair and make
1:28
sure there aren't any big lumps anywhere on my hand so it's spread out evenly and then
1:32
I just take a little more and use that on the back and sides of my hair just to make
1:37
sure that they hold into place. Now I like my hair up and spiky and this is really like a firm hold and wet kind of look
1:46
not a matte and out of bed kind of look. So this is not really for making a messy type of hairstyle but more like the slick
1:55
style where every hair is meticulously placed. Now this is also perfect for a little bit longer hair to make that stand to the side
2:03
or maybe a slick back look like with my son's hair so that can hold in place during the
2:08
day all day. So I really recommend this one for someone who wants a more wet look without like the
2:14
crunch of a traditional type of hair gel because your hair will stay soft with this one
