Used to watch all your videos back when you were doing mainly Tenth Doctor content (though it seems we've both had a name change here on YT in that time), but it was around the time your content started shifting that I also got away from Tenth Doctor cosplay - I was just a kid dressing up on the weekends, not going to any kinds of cons or anything, after all. These past few weeks I've started trying to learn about overall style and grooming, and have found myself back here again, where the seeds were first planted as I was learning to style my hair and wear suits. As much use as I got from your content back when you started, I can tell you've really come a long way and I'm enjoying watching your videos for your personality alone, on top of the practical usefulness of your content. That's a whole lot of words just to say thanks for those videos so many years ago, and that I'm glad to be back.
Man, this comment made my day. I really appreciate hearing things like this from my subs and makes me so happy to know that people are enjoying the content I make, even as it evolves over time. Thanks for taking the time to write this, and welcome back!
I like how you’re actually honest about the products, too many people are to wishy washy and never want to straight up say if a products Good or not
Thanks man! I appreciate that.
Interesting review! I liked how you split up the details and demo sections by product. That way all the info was fresh in your mind while you saw how the product worked.
Thanks so much! Yeah I think I like this format better. Seems to be less disjointed.
Very trustful review, there’re so many people overhyping Forte af
perfect before i go to sleep
I would love to see a video on your favorite hair products of all time.
That would certainly be one to think about! Hmm..
Plzzz make a video on this
Yeap,been waiting for it
I have alright hair length like it medium and I want to grow it out and make it messy. Should I get the paste,serum oil and possibly castor oil for growth and structure to my hair? Or do you have any recommendations?
Is forte series for all hair type and i want a shampoos and conditioner that will moisturizer my hair mostly for my scalp because i have a buzz cut what would tou recommend me my hair type os 4a coily, corse
Sponsored by the word “meh”
Ayyye was so glad to see this notification before bed! You should make a video of the best shampoos and conditioners or the best clarifying shampoos. Been wanting to get a new shampoo and clarifying one.
Ooh I like that idea!
@@TDMStyle me too! I'd be down to watch that!
Yes dude he should
hi matt - im trying to actually reduce hair volume and am looking into hair oil/serums
do these kinds of products actually help reduce volume for those who want to use it that way? if so, any recommendations?
Finally, someone mentioned the argan oil thing! It was the first thing I noticed when I checked out the ingredients and all other reviews of the serum never mention that argan oil is the 6th of its 8 ingredients. It just feels disingenuous to call your product "argan oil" when it's mostly silicone.
I think they misstated their hold for molding paste. Cause according to Alex in one of his hairstyling videos, he said it’s more for longer hair dudes for like a light-medium hold
Forte has a few more products available now: a scented version of the clay (don't know if it's the same formula as the original), a Sea Salt Spray, a Texture Spray, a Freeze Spray, a Cream, and a Pomade. I heard they have thinning hair products and also skincare coming soon as well.
Yeah, the clay is exactly the same just with some added scent. I'm sure I'll get enough requests to check out the other stuff some day, though after the $100 I wasted on this batch, I'm gonna hold off for now lol
Loved the video, was on the fence about whether to get the serum or not but I guess i'll just get the actual Argan oil. Are you planning on streaming cyberpunk over at the gaming channel?
I would def like to stream CB, but I'm gonna wait until more patches come out since it's still so glitchy lol
I remember looking up the ingredients list on that oil and rolling my eyes. Why even call it argan oil at that point? Probably great for smoothing (as alot of cheaper similar products are) but not something I'd use daily to 'hydrate' my hair - I'll stick to my Dauntless grooming oil.
edit: oh and good stuff once again Matt, but that should be a given at this point haha
The juggle at the end 😂
Yeah that one was a sad attempt 😂
What is the favorite clay you’ve used that would have a strong hold with a natural feel?
Probably the Fuertes clay reformulation (the current version)! Stuff is amazing. Grand Classic Texture Balm is also outstanding (less hold than Fuertes for me though). On the water-based side of things, there are a looooot of good options. If you're after a medium, Hustle is still a great fallback for me.
Hey I kinda miss the tutorials, you should revisit the second day hair styling video
I like that idea!
I realize that mint-scented hair products are a divisive issue, since I do know people who genuinely like them. But every time another one comes out I feel like it’s such a lost opportunity; I mean, here you’re given THE perfect canvas to create a unique signature fragrance that people will associate with your product exclusively, and for some unknown reason your choice is „toothpaste”. Off topic, I just picked up ELEVEN Australia’s I Want Body Texture Spray and it is sick! So if you ever want to review a texture spray which leaves most sea-salt sprays out there in the dust that’s my candidate.
Totally agree with the mint thing - my thoughts exactly!
A regular scent for an average RUclipsr product even the ocean clay have a better scent
I hate hate HATE mint scented hair products. I even prefer some other scent I dislike, it's better than freakin TOOTH PASTE. I love Arcadian Conditioning Cream but it smells like Colgate!!!
Hey Matt! I have a question because this have been annoying me since i’ve styled my hair. My hair type is basicly similar to yours very thick and dry ends, but my scalp is very oily so it gets greasy in like the next day if I style it with anything that as oil. My question is do you know any pre-styler that could smooth my hair out without contributing to the grease effect? sorry for the big plot lol, thanks and great review as always! 😁
Hey there! I'd definitely recommend TheSalonGuy's 25 spray. I still use that stuff as my base prestyler almost every time I style. Does a great job of smoothing and hydrating without any oiliness or weight at all.
I feel like silicones can be good or bad depending on the hair type you have. Like you've said before you have curly/thick hair, in my experience people with that type of hair can use silicones with no problems at all. My oldest son has hair like that. I usually stay away from them because I have fine hair so it gets weighed down very easily. I say, use what works for your hair and experiment to find what best works for you 🤷♀️
Editing to add I'm definitely not a professional and to say that I subscribed to your channel so I can find good hair products for my sons. It's been a fun, you have funny videos.
You are a great mum for finding proper hair products for your children. My mum used my dads gel on me!
@@vincezaaa My mom forbid me to use hair gel. (I'm 36 now I'm talking 1996 here)
@@pereiraplaza222 I’m 16 now:(
@@vincezaaa Don't worry you'll be old soon.
What a cool mom... To research on hair products for your children.
I will definitely be getting my hands on the Forte series Texture. Clay and I will let you know how it goes for my thick hair.
What are your thoughts about lockhart fire and brimstone matt clay after 3 years, do you think it’s still fantastic
Great question. I’ve been meaning to buy it again and see.
Matt big fan all time 🙌🏻, would you suggest adding conditioner for every two days once we shower, is it mandatory that after shampooing only we need to add conditioner or we can add without, and what's your thoughts on India ♥️🙌🏻
Hello there! Definitely want to condition any time you shampoo. Even gentle shampoos remove natural oils that keep your hair hydrated, so the conditioner helps to add those back and keep your hair soft and healthy!
Can you review bench hair products?
Thanks for the review, I was about to buy the shampoo + conditioner + serum combo but I guess they're not for colored hair like mine... Do you have any recommendation shampoo/conditioner for dry and colored hair?
Some of my fave sets: Amika Save My Color, TheSalonGuy Clean & Condition or PURE set, Moroccanoil Hydration 👍🏻
@@TDMStyle Thank you very much!
Sure thing! I goofed a bit, the Amika one is actually called “keep my color” haha.
Which has more hold betweem the salonguy grooming paste or this paste? As both are similar, medium hold!!
I can tell instantly my paste does
Aside from both being pastes, they are really not that similar tbh. TheSalonGuy paste applies more smoothly, definitely has more hold and more texture, and smells amazing imo. Better price too lol
You should review the Sheh voo Xmodern man tv nee pomade! I'm hella interested in ut and would love to see your review
I Got it (sheh voo pomade) The smell is not great but smells clean if that makes any sense.
The hold is really high
It says medium shine but i think its more of a low.
The only thing I dont like its that it dries in your hand too quickly....
Word they were supposed to send me one when it came out, but I never got it lol
4:15 editing killed me
Is it sad that I totally predicted the overall opinion on this? Ny expectations were that the line would be ok but with nothing that really reaches out and grabs you, so to speak.
Review Cremo products pls
Is the scoop as soft as Morris Motley Matte Styling Balm?
Not quite. MMSB is a smooth consistency too.
Can I get the free moulding paste??? 😅
Great hour just in time
I agree 😂
Mr. Sparkle!!!!!!!!!
Bro you’re such a cool guy 🤟🏻😂
Lol thanks man
Thanks, Daddy Matt!! lol 😊🙂😎
Yo the requested thing is here
Scented texture clay plssßss
You and TheSalonGuy should make scents together and call the collab DemScents.
YOOOO
@@TDMStyle DO ITTTT
Jheeez expensive for basically Axe (Lynx for the UK boiz) in disguise. Better off buying some GME 🚀💎✋🏼
Kaolin, meet stack
Stack, meet kaolin
A match made in heaven
Great review as always bro. I am sad that u don't have much viewers for ur stuff.
And u were sayin something about mineral oils. What was that?
Thanks man! Yeah mineral oil has become one of those products that people are afraid of these days (like how some people are opposed to using silicones) because it has the potential to cause buildup on the hair/scalp. But it's just another thing that causes no problems if you wash it out with a good quality shampoo, and actually has a lot of benefits to being a hair product like smoothing and moisture retention.
@@TDMStyle thanks for the info mate🍻
Cheers!
The shipping annoys me too
Glad it wasn't just me, haha!
Yo Matt, you should do Shehvoo’s Pomade next
They were supposed to send me one but never did lol
woohoo
bro thats the worst san pelligrino flavor, it legit tastes like fizzy cough syrup
Yeah I think the blood orange one is my favorite. But I had more of the cherry ones to get rid of lol 😭
Hold up. Content creator's products are meh?! SHOCKING 🤯. That serum like specially. I can buy pure argan oil less than 10 euros 🙄 🤦♂️ and same or more effective..
What's in your hair when making this video
I honestly have no recollection as this was over a year ago, but based on the look it was probably an OB clay like Fuertes or GCTB.
@@TDMStyle sweet thanks. I've been using baxters clay for years. Looks awesome for textured quiffy slick back and the weight forces hair back. But want to try and move away from Petrolatum. Will give the fuertes a go
S T A C K
Clay and Paste are too hyped for me nothing Special, better products and brands out there
Hey man...did u...used the paste?
@@rummanrad3496 both ones, yes
@@bjrnbjr5562 how does it work,in terms of hold?
@@rummanrad3496 more a Medium to Firm, an Advantage is the versitality to use it as pre and post
@@bjrnbjr5562 will it work on thick hair??
Forte products are not really worth the money in my opinion…
You ALWAYS have trouble speaking English! 😂
Another crappy release from Alex, what do you expect? Very expensive considering the value you get out of them. Those are just a way to fuel Alex’s expensive life style. Diamond membership, lol
I'm from Canada and when you order this product from Canada. You're paying thirty dollars for the shipping So a bottle of shampoo is $60 the same with the remaining of his products. It's actually cheaper to buy through Amazon and then still? You're paying 30? Dollars for a bottle of aragon oil i think he should do a little better for Canadians. If he wants us to use his product which I do I use everything? From forte but I'm almost frustrated with this experience. It should not have to cost me sixty dollars for a bottle of argon oil Or whatever else i'm buying from forte Listen I use manscape. It also comes from the United States. And I don't pay crazy fucking out of my ass and they make a lot of money off of me. Why is it that I'm paying double the price for This product? That also comes out of the USA. He needs to make his products more like manscape free delivery if manscape could do it. I'm sure he can as well that's how you do business. How does he expect Canadians to use his product if you're buying it for $20 Canadians are buying the same thing for 60 Come on? His ass is sucking win. You need to fix it or I'm done and I love his products. And that's why I am frustrated. It's all I use and it's over price at the Moments for Canadians and people oversee the only ones that. Actually get A good price. Are Americans so he only wants to serve Americans? Is that how you Do Business It's pathetic forte needs to fix it like Like. Yesterday? Almost done with this product which I love so much. Ready to switch to nioxin And yes they make everything for hair even hair loss so their products are top of the line. And will not ruin your hair. And you probably bite cheaper than forte and you could find it anywhere. Even your local shopper's Drug mart and With no. shipping and handling fees Which I find bullshit when I'm buying manscape out of the united states and I don't pay shipping and handling and the product is still cheap even if they include the Shipping and handling in the price forte should do better. That's how business is done For the love of God. Sorry to bore you out with my essay. I'm sure I got my point across And I love your honest review great video
I have alright hair length like it medium and I want to grow it out and make it messy. Should I get the paste,serum oil and possibly castor oil for growth and structure to my hair? Or do you have any recommendations?
To be honest there are wayyy better products out there than Forte for what you want. For example the Xmondo Viper smoothing oil is one of the best hair serums I've ever used. For something similar to the Forte paste but with far better performance, I'd recommend the yellow label SalonGuy grooming paste.
