I'm Joost and I'm here today with the Uppercut Deluxe versus the Matte Pomade
0:03
So they both have the cool Uppercut design with the little boxes here. But of course it's about what's inside
0:08
And the Uppercut Deluxe Pomade here is very shiny. It's the shiniest one they have
0:13
And this has quite a good hold. Quite a heavy hold. Now the Matte Pomade or Cream here, that's what other brands call a hair cream, is a
0:21
little bit more watery and it's very creamy and soft. And this really gives a matte texture to your hair
0:28
So this is more for a matte messy look and this is more for a slick back look or a wet
0:33
look where you specifically want to mold your hair. And they also smell very very different
0:38
This Deluxe Pomade one smells very much like vanilla and coconut. It's a very strong smell that will linger during the day
0:46
And this Matte Cream, Matte Pomade here has a mocha smell. A very mocha like smell that also lingers during the day
0:53
And I don't think this is for everyone but I do like it. Now the Deluxe Pomade is my favorite because I like a little bit more of a wet look to
0:59
my hair and I like to smell a little bit more. But the Matte Pomade is the one to go for when you want a matte messy look
1:05
The Uppercut Deluxe Matte Pomade and this really is something different. First the hold
1:11
It has a medium hold so it keeps my hair up just a little bit but it's more for like a
1:17
little bit of a messy look. And then the smell. It smells very much like mocha, like a mocha cake
1:23
So that's certainly something different. I see cool Uppercut branding here with the boxers but of course it's about what's inside
1:31
And this is quite a creamy substance. The substance also reminds me of mocha and smells like mocha of course
1:37
So what I like to do is to rub a little across my hands so it's evenly divided and I don't
1:42
get any lumps. Then go through my hair. I like my hair a little bit spiky
1:47
So this hold isn't the best for my look. It's more for like a messy look with a medium hold or a low hold
1:53
But it has no shine at all so it's very good for those out of bed looks. Now it's a little bit more suited to the longer hair of my son so I tested it on him as well
2:01
I like to push his hair a little to the side to make it just a little bit messy and it
2:04
doesn't get hard so you can go through it during the day. It's very easily moldable and even if you get a few little lumps it will dry up in your
2:12
hair making it to have a very matte finish. So I think this one is perfect for those who want something different
2:17
A different smell. Very manly mocha smell with a matte finish and a light hold
2:22
The Uppercut Deluxe pomade and I have to say that this is one of the best smelling
2:27
pomade I've ever had. And I've tried quite a few. I've been doing my own and my son's hair for a few days now and I have to say that the
2:35
hold is pretty great. Especially for my thin hair, my shorter hair and that of my son's
2:40
It holds all day as well. So I don't have to worry about applying another layer of like gel or another pomade again
2:48
during the day. This product is water based and it gives a nice amount of shine without losing the ability
2:54
to hold your hair in place. So they say on the tin that the hold is 7 out of 10 and the shine is 8 out of 10
3:02
So if you want to go for that slick back look or shiny spikes like with my short hair then
3:07
this is a great product. And it has a very cool design with like the boxers and the uppercut theme which is what
3:17
drew me to this product in the first place. And when I apply it, I just put a little bit into my hands
3:23
It's quite gooey and you don't need to use that much. So this can last for quite some time
3:28
Put a little bit in my hands and then rub it all over your hands. Make sure your hands are dry before applying this because it is water based
3:34
Otherwise it would be too wet. Then I apply that to my hair and then a little bit extra to the sides
3:40
I think it's perfect for thin hair like me and my son here have and that will hold it
3:45
in place all day. Now if your hair gets kind of messed up during the day, especially with kids when they're
3:50
playing, you can just add a little water to your hands, not too much, and then go through
3:55
the hair again and it will hold that in place for the rest of the day
3:59
Now it's also easily washable with any shampoo you have. You can easily wash this out in one go and you're ready for the next day
4:07
This is a great product if you like that slick look and I really recommend it
