Hi I'm Joost and I'm here today with the Uppercut Deluxe pomade versus the Featherweight
0:03
So the design of these two is almost the same but this one has a red cap and this one a
0:07
white cap so you can recognize them. And of course it says Featherweight right here
0:12
But it's about what's inside. This is the pomade and as you can see it's very shiny and gel like and it has a very
0:19
strong smell. This is a coconutty vanilla smell and you can smell this in your hair all day so you
0:24
don't even have to use any cologne. So I think this is a bit more metromani but I really do like this smell and this is my
0:31
favorite product of the two. But it has a very high shine. Now the Uppercut Featherweight is more of like a cream or fiber paste is what they call
0:41
it and this one has a low shine but still a very good hold
0:46
This is more of a matte pomade that other brands would call it and it almost doesn't
0:50
have any smell at all. It has a very light citrusy flowery scent but you almost don't smell it at all
0:57
And as you can see it has a very light hold here and a light shine but it's mostly matte
1:03
They call it a fiber paste but I think it's closer to what other brands call a matte pomade
1:08
and it smells very light. It's a very light smell a little bit flowery and maybe a little bit citrusy but it doesn't
1:15
smell too much so it's a very featherweight hold and it's a very featherweight smell
1:21
So it's not too intrusive. This has the same cool boxer design as the other Uppercut products but of course it's
1:26
about what's inside. And this is quite a creamy substance. It's almost like hair creams that other brands offer but they call it a fiber paste
1:36
I think it's more like a matte pomade. It has a very light shine but still a good hold
1:41
They say a 7 out of 10 hold and a 4 out of 10 shine
1:46
So the featherweight is more about the shine than the hold and also the smell because it
1:50
has a very light smell. Because it's so creamy what I like to do is rub a little across my hands
1:55
Make sure that it's evenly divided so I don't get any lumps and then rub that across the
2:00
top of my hair to make it a little spiky and make it stand up
2:03
And then I take a little bit extra and do the back and sides of my hair again just to
2:07
make sure that it stays in place all day. I don't have to use a lot of the product to make my hair stand up but I think it's more
2:13
suited to a little bit longer hair if you want like a messy out of bed look
2:18
So these fiber pastes are more of like a matte messy look. So I applied it to the longer hair of my son as well just to make that stand to the
2:26
side and the advantage here is that you can go through your hair during the day without
2:31
it getting crunchy like with gels. So I think this featherweight product is perfect for those who want just a messy matte look
2:38
with a little stronger hold than like a hair cream. The Uppercut Deluxe pomade and I have to say that this is one of the best smelling pomade
2:46
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
2:53
hold is pretty great. Especially for my thin hair, my shorter hair and that of my son's it holds all day as well
3:00
So I don't have to worry about applying another layer of like gel or another pomade again
3:07
during the day. This product is water based and it gives a nice amount of shine without losing the ability
3:13
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
3:21
So if you want to go for that slick back look or shiny spikes like with my short hair then
3:26
this is a great product. And it has a very cool design with like the boxers and the uppercut theme which is what
3:36
drew me to this product in the first place. And when I apply it, it just put a little bit into my hands
3:42
It's quite gooey and you don't need to use that much. So this can last for quite some time
3:47
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
3:53
Otherwise it would be too wet. Then I apply that to my hair and then a little bit extra to the sides
3:58
I think it's perfect for thin hair like me and my son here have
4:02
And that will hold it in place all day. Now if your hair gets kind of messed up during the day, especially with kids when they're
4:09
playing, you can just add a little water to your hands, not too much, and then go through
4:14
the hair again and it will hold that in place for the rest of the day
4:18
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
4:25
This is a great product if you like that slick look and I really recommend it
