You need to have your own Ted talk for the pomade community

You make these pomades look like serial killers chill dude lol

wow, production quality 10/10

Tom my man you are a legend! I certainly do not regret subscribing and making this my first video to watch! You've captured my thoughts exactly with this "unorthodox" revolution. keep doing you man. big thumbs up!

The production on this is immaculate..

This video is beautiful

this video is making me nervous yet soothing at the same time. Keep em coming!

Man, I freaking love your videos. I hope to see more in the future! :}

Your production and style looks slick, very professional, great to watch, it looks great even on 480p

I totally agree with you. I've tried my fair share of Unorthodox waterbased pomades and they really don't compare to real grease. The only thing I found that I kind of like in that department is the "cool grease line " but those are consider more of an orthodox gel based. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the unorthdox waterbased pomades and think its cool what the home brewers are doing. However, they just don't work as well as oil based for my hair. Thats just me though...I have really thick hair.

holy god dude... this is probably the most helpful video on this subject... I'm a huge fan of UWB and it hurt to watch this, but it was delivered so perfectly i cant even be mad haha... great video!

This video terrifies me.....

Awesome video. Production was awesome. I still love unorthodox water based pomades. But I laughed my ass off. That was great. :)

Great video Tom. I myself haven't really bought a new pomade product in a while because the genre like you said is just turning into salon products. Which is fine because I'm all for using what works best, I just love how some people mock those who use hair dryers and what not yet need their salon products to be relabeled to feel comfortable.

Holy Crap you make such epic videos. Thank you so much keep up the amazing job.

Amazing video.It would be great if you could tell us how you get your hair cut.I've been trying to get the right haircut for the pompadour but I can't figure it out.

Thank god somebody said this, been thinking this for a long time! Great video.

Awesome new video!! Keep making them

Great video. I took a long time, but it is totally worth waiting if you get such a high quality video.

Awesome. Felt like was watching a mystery documentary lmao

Nothing can give you that shine like grease does

welcome back my friend :D

Great production value, some of the shots look plain amazing! Great work. On the topic, you are spot on. Seems like the word POMADE is "in" right now, so clays, waxes and pastes get the label pomade to sell better and to pander to the retrofillic crowds and give them pomade without the commitment to the real oil based pomades. Well that's the world we live in now.

Love the production of this. Really enjoyable watch. I see what you mean. While im a diehard fan of Lockhart's line I really love turning to stuff like Black & White, Nu Nile, and Royal Crown for a reliable, old fashioned hair style.

Excellent video. I came to the same conclusion a while ago just by looking at the ingredients on the containers of various types of mass-produced "wax"/"paste" products. That's why I've never been down the "UWB" route. I go to the supermarket for something I can wash out, but in general my shelf at home is full of traditional oil-based stuff.

Finally, a good video on pomades thank you for making this

Sorry I'm late. But this frikn filmography is awesome, it feels like I'm watching a documentary, very nice man

Back when I started to get interested in pomades, there were none readily available where I lived. I had to settle for Brylcreem and Co. Then American Crew brought out its men's series with its pomade among others. Years later and thanks to the internet I discovered the originals from Dax and Murrays. I belong to those guys who like a pomade that washes out easily. I also discovered that with my hair texture I'm better off using water based stuff. Some of the waterbased ones I tried should have a "best before date" because they can go stale and dry out, or even dissolve on their own. I have found what works best for me and that is most important in my books. Whether whe call it pomade, clay, fiber, cream, etc., they are all still just hairdressings. In essence it is all just chemistry in the end. Before I forget, thanks for making another great video!

Nette video Tom :D Gedurfde opzet :D

So far the best pomade or matte clay I have used is from a sample I got from @doctor_squirrel - Instagram. I have been asking if they will be releasing it for purchase but so far not yet.

Couldn't agree more. This theory is absolutely legit and seems right. Well said sir #salute

Lol I love your videos ! Keep it up .

simple pomade made more controversial because of your editing skills awesome video.

I just want your suggestion. My friend has a long hair. The length of his hair touches his eyes. What he wants to know is that are pomades good for him as he wants a shiny look but a very good hold as well. He wants to keep his hair similar to yours, upward or upward sideways. Could you give me any suggestion to what he should use or what brand is really good for that type of hairstyle that he wants, keeping in mind that it needs that shiny and really good hold. Thank you.

I agree with you, we always had clays and paste products, but those salon products didn't have that control and healthy feeling that Brewers provide. What you think about some of the homebrewers putting borax to the pomades? Is it safe?

I duno why, but this was captivating to watch

Okay but the fact that many of them are home brewed with more natural and healthier components is also important. A salon product is mostly chemicals, lab made. And then we have quality ...

Straight Facts

I've been thinking the same damn thing for a while now. Granted, I love most of these "unorthodox" water-based pomades, but I didn't understand the initial and continual hype over them when they were first introduced into the traditional pomade market. Before I got into oil based pomades, I used various cream and paste products from American Crew, Tea Tree, Bedhead, etc... And these all washed out with one shampoo cycle. A couple years later, after I familiarized myself with the more traditional oil-based pomades, the whole "unorthodox, home-brew waterbased" trend started taking off, and everyone lost their shit because it gave good hold and washed out with one cycle, and I did not understand why those characteristics were being so hyped up. Like I said, I tend to like all the "unorthodox" water-based pomades that have come out lately, but I'm unwilling to act as if they're revolutionary for the pure fact that products like this have been around the whole time. To me, they're simply just good products that give me good control over the way I'd like to style my hair. Anyway, nice video and glad I'm not alone in this issue.

That was so epic lol. I might try a traditional pomade know hahaha

Wheres my new videos?

Hi Tom, I live in Amsterdam. I'm into pompadours since a while now, I tried murrays but found it a bit annoying that it doesn't wash out very easily.. now this unorthodox water based pomade seems like a great replacement. Do you know where to get one of these in Amsterdam?

I've yet to use an unorthodox pomade, but after discovering hair cream I really don't see the point. I got my goon grease for that dapper look, and hair cream for when I don't want to feel anything in my hair while still keeping it styled, slick, and shiny, and hey it washes out in 1 go.

Great vide this was actually funny lol

Haha awesome video!!

I’m a guy with curly hair and I really like to do combovers. What my goal is with most products I try is; to comb my curly headed self to straight hair. The only thing so far that has been 100% successful at that for me is water based pomades. Off the top of my head, the water based products I’ve tried that have worked are, railcar finegoods pomade (standard and supreme holds) Layrite standard and superhold, reuzel blue, and dapper dan. The only UWB pomades I’ve tried so far to get the same look are Shear Revival crystal lake and firsthand water based pomade. Both of those have been unsuccessful for me in achieving a curly to straight hair combover. They definitely deliver fantastic texture to my hair but I always have to do a more messy looking hairstyle with them and sometimes that’s upsetting. The only way I can achieve a combover with UWB pomades is the blow dry my hair straight and then apply the product. Anyone with curly hair ever notice this? Anything out there that also works curly hair to straight, for a nice clean shiny combover? Let me know! Guess for this particular look with my hair type...I’m a water based jelly head all day!

Fucking awesome video. I didn't think about it that way, but I think you could be right about these products being salon products in disguise in some ways. Personally, I'm totally fine with that as I've always been into salon type products. One thing I will say though, is that a lot of these unorthodox water based pomades perform BETTER than many of the salon products I used to use and that makes a difference. I still do love my oil based products as well. I used to build up for weeks at a time with no problem and only don't do so now because of reviews.

It's like I'm watching a Myth Buster

Which pomades do u like Tom ?

I just think that home brewed water bases are so much healthier for your hair than anything... idk you can't fake true shine like oil and petro can, but it's just healthier in the long run

They might be salon products but at least they dong charge twice as much for little product. I never cared for water based products because i use petro; however, if i felt like giving my hair a break ill use tres flores water based

Not going to lie, reminded me of Ripleys believe it or not. Not a bad thing, pretty cool.

I love the references to our groups 😂

oil base is the best based

Thank you for making this video. I am personally a clay + wax or gel pomade depending on if I want shine or not for my bedhead hairstyles, styling paste kind of guy. That being said, it leaves one confused when you keep seeing these unorthodox water based pomades and cant figure out why they are considered pomade when they don't really have any of the characteristics of a pomade. They typically do not any shine and if they do it is minimal. Additionally, many of the time they even say clay pomade. Isn't that really just a clay then? Hit the nail on the head with this one, the products are good, but they just aren't necessarily revolutionary. Then again, maybe I am just missing something.

Here in the philippines, I can't seem to find any wax, clay or paste that is water based😢 which is why I bought a water based pomade

and "EEEP" lol

I couldn't agree more. Oil based pomade still the best for me. Watching in 2019 🤟

Most of those styling products have a ton of chemicals in them. Look as the back of those Kevin Murphy products. I am sure they work just fine but I can't even pronounce half of that crap and i don't want it in my hair. Awesome brands like Flagship, Sheer Revival, O'Douds, Ominous Style Co. use a few natural ingredients and cost less.

way to be sinister in a video lol

"Now, I am not here to tell you that all of these are sissy products for nancy boys and should belong to the bluemaan group" hahaha!

Kan je nieuwe videos maken plz

You had me at "I'm not here to tell you all of these are sissy products, made for nancy boys and should belong in blumaan group." I'm developing my own pomade brand to bring to market and have been researching videos and recipes. I need to have a good product so I can take care of my family and this video is encouraging.

How are you

is that an EBMM JP in the back?

Ik heb altijd al gevonden dat waterbasis pommades geen echte pommades zijn

10000% I call them hipster pomades haha

Adam levine?

salon products are shit, expensive, and often only come in 2oz or less. They often even apply with tug and pull. UWB pomades promote supporting small american buisnesses and sell for unbeatable prices at usally 4 oz. UWB pomades apply without the tugg and pull, much like how Lockhart's and PND apply. They're not salon products. They're home brewed for a goon reason. A lot of people can't stand salon products and the cosmetics industry. And the best part is that UWB pomades have natural products that you can actually understand and read. Salon products are full of chemical junk.

Yeah man we get it you only like to use motor oil to style your hair

please review pomade from indonesia

Bumper music sounds like MGS4

Why is it just me that thinks he looks like Adam Levine?

You should of mentioned that Classic oil based pomades do not work on curly, thick, wavy, hair . Only strong hold - water based pomades work on thick, wavy type hair . Please take a deep breath , water based pomades are not here to kill you 😂

Wheres my new videos?
