This is - as always - a work in progress. I’m excited to develop and improve Brand Battle for you guys. Giveaway (open until Tuesday 11.59pm BST) here: manforhimself.com/blumaan-monarch-paste-label-m-matt-paste-giveaway-brand-battle
Hi Robin, I bought Label M after watching your video a while back, you gave it a decent rating so was rude not to try it. I find it great to wear as a daily hair product, style and go. I tend to use sea salt spray and try getting a little volume without a hairdryer so I need a product to keep hold with no falling. I find P&P putty and Claymation do a better job but for the money you can't go wrong with Label.M.
I'm not paying £8.50 P&P for any hair product, no matter what size it is. That, IMO, is a complete rip off. Also, a waiting list for a hair product? That reeks of a marketing gimmick to me - a company creates a waiting list to make a product seem like it's selling really well and is more desirable than it really is. It does go on in certain markets.
sus4b9 definitely marketing gimick for a product that isn't revolutionary in any sense. Rolex does the same thing, except Rolex actually retains and even increases in value overtime. This bubble may burst one day though.
beautifully edited. i haven’t been on your channel in awhile but i’m glad to be back, your video quality is absolutely superb. the only thing i’d disagree is with the packaging, i love blumann’s colorful animal style. just personal preference though! see you next brand battle and good luck to everyone trying to win
I love brand battle. I'm so happy it's back! (I was very excited to see this one in particular because label m was the first hair brand I ever used and I just like blumaan as a channel)
I'm so excited for this Brand Battle! I just started it and I should probably wait until I finish watching it to comment, but I'm just too excited to wait!
Plazma Masta the cavalier one has generic coconut vanilla scent that is overpowering. It is also difficult to apply. I have not tried this monarch one, but I am cautious to buy another blumaan product because cavalier is so bad
please do more brand battles! it can be even products that featured in another brand battle before, but put up against a different product. These are the videos I've found the most helpful when it comes to picking a new product to experiment with. Robin for King of Hair Channels!
The Blumaan Website does ask for a preorder but when you preorder sometimes they send it in the next day. I preordered it when it said I’d have to wait for a month and it came in the next few days.
I was waiting since the morning, about 14 hours back, for this video, Robin. I'm so happy Brand Battle is back! Keep up the GREAT work. Love from India, Mahesh.
Hey Robin, one thing I noticed about the label m matt paste is that it contains parabens, and I've watched a few of your other videos where you talked about parabens as not being good for your hair/scalp. Is this particular product an exception due to all of the other substances it contains which are meant to be good for your hair?
I'm so excited to see brand battles again. It's my favorite. I'm so happy to see you so busy and your numbers up. You most certainly deserve it. You've worked so hard. I've watched since you had no facial hair. I can't believe how much you've changed. I'm always a fan. I hope it's ok to say i love you and your channel. Your brilliant! Good luck with future plans. I'll be here.
Glad to see Brand Battle is back! Robin, I think when displaying the points for each product, instead of writing 09 for example, a simple 9 would look better and simpler (and hence slightly more pleasing) to the eyes. The '09' format looks slightly too excessive in my opinion.
Hey Robin , i have been using the Flagship Streamline matte paste for a while and I have been really enjoying it based on its hold , volume and finish . It sure is a tougher paste than most and stickier but there is a learning curve to use it on the hair with less tug which is warm the product till clear on the hands . I would like to see it go against a very good matte product of your choice
Great video! Curious question...I watch all these videos with various different products, but what is your all time favorite product..your go to..the one you use the most for your best occasions?
Love your videos Robin! But are there any chance of you making a video about your favorite shampoos and conditioners? I haven't seen you making any of those yet.
Hello I just don't understand what I should take now if I don't have that thick hair. Clay? Wax? Matte Paste? Can you please recommend a product for me? (I have very thin and flat hair).
there was a company called all-strands you might of heard of them, they had bluMaan products for free delivery at its £20 cost, but ever since they closed it really was better to buy hair products off them without the unnecessary delivery costs
I have that Blumaan and its by far the best product I've ever used. Not because it is much more expensive than all the other products I I used before. It's just good.
Hey Robin. Loved the video as always. Can you please do a review on organic products. Such as John Masters Organics. I want to know if natural products are good for styling
How often do you wash your hair with shampoo? I'd like to use it daily, but I don't want to use shampoo everyday. Can it be washed out only with water?
Hi Robin, I've been using the Hanz De Fuko Gravity Paste for about 2 years now, it never fails me, and i really like it. It works well with my hairspray too. Recently i am not able to purchase it, it's out of stock in the website that I usually get it from. What product would you recommend to replace the Gravity Paste? I need it to be medium shine, high hold. I bought the Cavalier Clay, but sadly, it does not really work well with my hairspray. Or maybe there is a learning curve to it. What other products would you recommend to replace my Gravity Paste?
Now that you've mentioned it. Yea, I can try a different hairspray. But after few days of using the Cavalier Clay, it's growing on me. I just need to use slightly less than what I use with the Gravity Paste. It now works ok-ish with my hairspray!
I would love to see your review and battle with the smooth Viking hair clay, I'm in the caribbean and that's the first thing that pops up in Amazon when I search for hair clay.
I think there should be ingredients section as well. Monarch Paste has way cleaner ingredient list comparing to Label M. which is full of harsh chemical garbage. More chemicals you use more performance you can get.
This is - as always - a work in progress.
I’m excited to develop and improve Brand Battle for you guys.

Robin James I can't describe how professional this #BrandsBattle back 😍😍😍😍
Really great work and efforts
Old animations are littile better
New one looks kinda dated
Robin James next brand battle pomade?? since pomades are being produced a lot more and curious to see which pomade would be great
Awesome battle.
Thank you for bringing it back.
Salute and much success.
Robin Are the winners restricted to Europe ?
Always thought it was strange style and hold got the same points as packaging, much prefer this points system.
Thank you!
“It’s always the good stuff, they never mention the bad stuff” I died at that point 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
IT IS FINALLY TIME!!!! BRAND BATTLE DEBUT RETURN!!
It makes me happy that you guys are excited about it!
A Battle of your favorite pre Stylers would be epic. Love that Brand Battles are back!
YES!
YES! FINALLY IT'S BACK! I swear you are the only person who's review I actually truly believe in
There are some goodies out there!
Bought Label M after your review and a few weeks later I must say I love the product! Thanks for the honest review

Lmao. You can't be cheap taking care of your body
A product that has been around for years, is a lot better than a new, overhyped product.I already knew the outcome.Good video as always.
Yess thank you Robin, love to see the return. Excited for the future. Have a great day robin
Thanks Matthew. You too.
Brand Battle is BAAACCKK!! Already a fan of the new point system. Great video as always, Robin!
Thanks Hameer
Robin, could you please do an honest review on Beardbrand's Styling Balm? They say it can be used for both the hair, and the beard.
Sounds good!
Thank you, Robin!
YES!!! Brand Battle is back, and with quite an upgrade in quality too. Glad to see this again on your channel, Robin. Cheers!! 🙌🏽
Thank you
Robin also include bed head matte seperation...EXCITED
The realest YT channel when it comes to brand battles.
beautifully edited. i haven’t been on your channel in awhile but i’m glad to be back, your video quality is absolutely superb. the only thing i’d disagree is with the packaging, i love blumann’s colorful animal style. just personal preference though! see you next brand battle and good luck to everyone trying to win
Thanks Kyle. Absolutely - all comes down to personal preference.
i love your brad battles it really helps to know what to get
I like how honest you do these reviews
Is there anything but honesty on RUclips?
I love brand battle. I'm so happy it's back! (I was very excited to see this one in particular because label m was the first hair brand I ever used and I just like blumaan as a channel)
I love Brand Battle 👍🏻
I’m going to try label M matte paste!
Have a fabulous week Robin 🙏🏻
Thanks Erin. You too.
Finally brand battle is back. Happy friendship day Robin
at last...the long-awaited series ....great video Robin
HI Robin, glad to see Brand Battle back!!! It's good to hear your views on Monarch, very helpful. Hope summer is going well.
I'm so excited for this Brand Battle! I just started it and I should probably wait until I finish watching it to comment, but I'm just too excited to wait!
Finally Robin is back with the most awaited segment of his channel 🙌🤘 Loving the first one from Season 3😁😉
I like these challenges! Your reviews are so professional and fair.
Thanks Jerry. I'd hope so... it's my job!
Its's back baby, And it's better than ever!
Loved this. Solid concept. I wish I had some better feedback for you, but arm, that's all I have. Great comeback for Brand Battle.
Thanks David!
i feel with you Robin! I can try as many products as i want but i just enjoy using label M the most because of the great work it provides
Missed these Robin. I love the new point system
Loved the previous edition of this series.Great to see you bringing it back!
Thanks!
As I thought, blumaan product is overhyped, even the cavalier clay smells so bad.. thx for this honest review Robin
Some people love it and that's absolutely fine.
Cheldon Sooper so you don't like the smell of Shea butter?
Plazma Masta the cavalier one has generic coconut vanilla scent that is overpowering. It is also difficult to apply. I have not tried this monarch one, but I am cautious to buy another blumaan product because cavalier is so bad
Cheldon Sooper have you done a pre style product and then rubbing both hands with the product in your palm to warm it up allows g it to be easier
I love monarch but I agree the price is ridiculous!
please do more brand battles! it can be even products that featured in another brand battle before, but put up against a different product. These are the videos I've found the most helpful when it comes to picking a new product to experiment with.
Robin for King of Hair Channels!
Wooww...brand battle is back... Sooper excited robin...lets do this fella
The Blumaan Website does ask for a preorder but when you preorder sometimes they send it in the next day. I preordered it when it said I’d have to wait for a month and it came in the next few days.
I was waiting since the morning, about 14 hours back, for this video, Robin. I'm so happy Brand Battle is back! Keep up the GREAT work.
Love from India,

I like the new points system though
Thanks Magnus
I hadn't discovered this channel until fairly recently, so this is my first taste of "Brand Battle". Other people are excited so I am too.
This makes me excited!
I really like the style and overlays in this video, Robin Keep it up!
Thank you. A bit of work on this one!
At last what I have been waiting to watch all this while
Awesome review and your hair has gotten thicker !!!
finally, glad its back
It certainly is!
Ohhhh yesss!!! Here comes the brand battle...I have been waiting for this...thank u so much! Robin

Always enjoy a brand battle
great video ! have been waiting for the next brand battle for ages ! keep it up !
Always a pleasure watching brand battle. The hold of the label M looks very promising. I ordered a tub right away 😄.
Great video! Curious question...I watch all these videos with various different products, but what is your all time favorite product..your go to..the one you use the most for your best occasions?
Great vid robin, you should do brandbattle with some budget products too
Your brand battle videos are the best!
Love your videos Robin!
But are there any chance of you making a video about your favorite shampoos and conditioners? I haven't seen you making any of those yet.
Hey, could definitely be a good one.
How do you only have 200k subs.... Your videos are incredible
Thanks Stevottty. I am really very happy with my numbers and the audience I have. All about a quality audience.
My favourite segments. Was waiting for brand battle for quite sometime now.
Label M really looks awesome, thanks for the demo of the product!
waiting for this episode and finally its here robin please review tha moroccan oil texture clay and include in a brand battle
Finally, brand battle!!
which matte paste do you prefer personally?
keep those videos I love them
Thank you!
Actually thought this was gonna be a close one, but at least brand battles back! Can we get nostalgic grooming clay vs claymation
On the list!
Hello I just don't understand what I should take now if I don't have that thick hair. Clay? Wax? Matte Paste? Can you please recommend a product for me? (I have very thin and flat hair).
Damn i'm so happy it's back!
Sheh Voo vs Fuertes Styling Clay?
Amazing video, I love the new point system! I was sure Label M would win, is overall a better paste 😃
Hey robin do you still use nioxin? Hair looks great!
I do! Used it this morning.
Awesome video buddy I’ve been watching you for years now and all I’ve seen is improvement thank you for everything 🙌🏼
there was a company called all-strands you might of heard of them, they had bluMaan products for free delivery at its £20 cost, but ever since they closed it really was better to buy hair products off them without the unnecessary delivery costs
Ah, no, I hadn't heard of them.
I have that Blumaan and its by far the best product I've ever used. Not because it is much more expensive than all the other products I I used before. It's just good.
This is good. All about finding what works for you!
What would be better for thick wavy hair ??
Awesome brand battle brother I love it that's why you're my favorite RUclipsr of all time 🙌🙌
Cheers Abhishek
Robin James label m matte paste available in India or not ?
Isn't a paste supposed to be light hold? How does Label M compare to something like your favorite high hold matte clay?
All products change. Depends on the marketing!
Would love to see some carter supply company products in one of your great videos!
you should do the Baxter of California Clay Pomade vs. Apothecary 87 Clay Pomade. Both are waxy and provide a similar finish and hold.
Great video! Would be interested in seeing what you think of men-u hair clay (or other products in their hair styling range) in upcoming brand battles
Yesss it’s back
Hey Robin. Loved the video as always. Can you please do a review on organic products. Such as John Masters Organics. I want to know if natural products are good for styling
I liked the point system..........great job
Thanks!
love label m using it for years now since i started watching you.
It's a great product!
how does it works on fine and straight hair??
works fine on straight hair.
Khush Shah hows the hold really? I read on their website that it’s a medium hold. I got thick medium to long hair thx!
How often do you wash your hair with shampoo? I'd like to use it daily, but I don't want to use shampoo everyday. Can it be washed out only with water?
Is it true that the label.m can be washed out only with water? I'd like to start using hair product daily, but I don't want to use shampoo everyday.
It is a water based product, it washes out easy. I like it.
vo5 matt paste vs label m matt paste - is it worth the extra money?
Hi Robin, I've been using the Hanz De Fuko Gravity Paste for about 2 years now, it never fails me, and i really like it. It works well with my hairspray too. Recently i am not able to purchase it, it's out of stock in the website that I usually get it from.

What other products would you recommend to replace my Gravity Paste?
You could try changing your hairspray? Hairsprays are generally a lot cheaper.
Now that you've mentioned it. Yea, I can try a different hairspray. But after few days of using the Cavalier Clay, it's growing on me. I just need to use slightly less than what I use with the Gravity Paste. It now works ok-ish with my hairspray!
I would love to see your review and battle with the smooth Viking hair clay, I'm in the caribbean and that's the first thing that pops up in Amazon when I search for hair clay.
Nice battle review! I would love to hear your thoughts on fuertes hair clay
I'd love a top 5 strongest holding clays video!
Always the notification i look for whenever youtube alerts my phone , good video overall robin.
Yay! Thanks Dan.
Did nioxin make his hair thick?
Awesome reviews! I'd be really interested to see Stickmore Clay fibre compared to a commonly used product like label M, Hanz, Pacinos etc...
Woohoo brand battles are back
Finally!! Great video~ love from Malaysia💓
i bought the label m one a while ago and it was hard. bad batch/storage/qc.
I think there should be ingredients section as well. Monarch Paste has way cleaner ingredient list comparing to Label M. which is full of harsh chemical garbage. More chemicals you use more performance you can get.
Fair enough. But I'm glad you have made your own decision anyway. So important!
Great video, now I really have to try la Label.M paste.
Finally the long awaited brand battle, Blumaan Monarch.
It is indeed!
