This is one of my favourite pomades. I normally use strong hold product, and this is the only light/medium hold product that works. The downside is I have to use a lot to hold my style in place

Totally agree matt! Got this like month ago was shocked that i would randomly get smells of the product hours after i used it. I didn't get to tangly cause i have staight hair but it almost had a sublte stickness that a gel might.

Do the Arcadian matte paste it's way better Gives great texture, way more hold, and is great for that messy/polished look which you style falls into

As always, great video :) I also found that Arcadian does a _horrible_ job as a prestyler. Since Hybrid by BluMaan works quite well, I expected Arcadian to also do a decent job, but it dries super quickly and then I get the tangly ends thing you're talking about. Also, thanks for the shoutout... that came really unexpected, haha

Thanks! Yeah most traditional pomades are for slick styles, although “clay pomades” are really popular now too. Hard for me to say what my favorite is for slick styles cause I don’t use them much, but the Stickmore pomade is a really great classic oil-based. For water-based I like Ice by TheSalonGuy.

The reason why its so creamy and smooth..because they use peg 40 ingredients for easy breakdown.
@TDMStyle2 жыл бұрын
I'd estimate like 95% of homebrew hair products all contain PEG40 hydrogenated castor oil for emulsification/breakdown properties. However, depending on what else is in the formula and in what quantities, that doesn't guarantee something will be smooth/creamy. Plenty of stuff that contains PEG40 is still choppy/thick/dry/etc.

For thin hair it works very well. I like texture. And sometimes I think that it have more strong hold than Clutch, but I'm not sure) Now I want to try ANTI-GRAVITY MATTE PASTE and Hybrid Cream Clay by BluMaan.
@chriskahle42056 жыл бұрын
Antoshka hybrid is quite similar but the smell isn't so intense so I use it way more. Some say it has more hold too and I would probably agree although I haven't used Arcadian enough to say for sure because the smell is so intense (I'm not too fond of it). I could smell it going to bed and only used one scoop. Anti- gravity is pretty good (tried it 3 or 4 times). It's slightly more matte/drying than hybrid, even though hybrid is still def. a matte finish. All preference but I use hybrid the most along with nostalgic clay lately (which has a slight natural shine which increases a bit if you add more).
@kevszkar016 жыл бұрын
For me i think antigravity is ok product not great but good , the main issue i have with anti gravity is how fast it dry when you rub in your palm . I have similliar hair like yours (straight fine/ thin ) and i think arcadian give me same look or performance compare to anti gravity but without dry feeling in your hair or little bit uncomfortable when applying on hair. I hope this help you to make choice whether you need to try anti gravity.

@valenteleanos47744 жыл бұрын
Im A bit late on this one matt, but I gotta ask WTH! IS the ingredient that turns these clays and pomades dry, tangly, strawlike after set-in takes place? I cant stand it I literally look homeless when I try to restyle because of the pulling clumpy effect. So many matte products end up like this for me because of my thick hair
@TDMStyle4 жыл бұрын
I know that feel big time, I have the same issue with several matte products as well. Some of the ingredients I've found that def cause the dry/tangly issue for me are diatomaceous earth, probably silica because it plumps the hair and makes it thicker, and I think sometimes clays that have a large amount of bentonite because it's quite dry. Could be kaolin too though, it's hard to tell because most clays contain both lol and some work great for me while others are wayyy too dry. So I think it's mostly about a ratio/amount thing.

Is it normal that when combing your hair 2-3 hairs are pulled out every time? I have the feeling that since i started to not washing my hair everyday (2 times per week) and started to use blumaan styling meraki as a prestyler, then blowdrying followed by dryshampoo, cavalier clay and hairspray in combination made my hair starting to fall out, doesnt feel good and its not that healthy looking as it was at the beginning. When i started to use all these products i was really happy with the texture and everything looked awesome but now i am disappointed. Maybe you know this issue and maybe have a hint for me? Greetings from germany :)
@TDMStyle6 жыл бұрын
It is normal to lose around 100 hairs per day, so seeing a few on the comb is nothing to worry about. However I would not use dry shampoo every day, especially combined with all those other products. This can cause your scalp to get clogged up with product buildup, which can, over a period of time, hinder the growth of new hair a bit. I would try switching things up for a while and maybe try some other, more nourishing products, and less dry shampoo. I hope this helps! Cheers!
@amrap03096 жыл бұрын
TDM Style wow thanks for the fast answer :) i will definitely change things up. I think the issue is that my hair is not really straight anymore.

Yes, but not as of your post or this video. They started preorders for the new formulation at the end of June. You can tell which one you have by looking at the first ingredient. The original formulation is water based, and the new formulation is aloe vera based. They've also changed the scent. It now is the same scent as their styling pomade. It's supposed to have better hold, and be more matte.
