I’m relatively new to the hair styling game and found that clays seemed to be really popular with those with thick, wavy, medium length hair like mine so tried 2 (clutch XL and Don Juan hand clay made - I like them both a lot and I think most people who use clays have no problem with a little tug), but I personally don’t like any tug at all so I’m really glad you reviewed this one.
Bro can confirm I fucking love the product I love how loose but firm it is .I do get all day hold with loose movement but it's still rigid which u fucking love so it's a perfect product for me!!!🔥🔥
Thanks! Nope no keratin - just been using a bunch of really baller shampoos/conditioners in my rotation, plus this clay makes my hair feel so silky. And yeah I’m digging this color!
I, too, have coarse wavy hair, a bit longer than yours. I recently tried Oasis based on your review, and I like it (although, the scent could be a bit more subdued in my opinion). Is this one better? Which do you prefer, overall?
I wouldn't say this one is necessarily "better," just different. I prefer this one because it has a buttery smooth application (Oasis is pretty sticky initially). Oasis has a stronger hold though.
hey matt, between the new grooming paste and the hustle clay, which has more hold-texture ? as they have buttery smooth application? hoping for your kind response...
@@TDMStyle hey! thanks for the reply! im looking for hair clays, experimented with a couple and tried the bluuman monarch, but it does not provide enough hold due to my thick and coarse hair (similar to yours)! i really enjoy your thesalonguy reviews, and am stuck between clutch xl and hussle. Thanks for your reply!
I've just got this today along with Shear Revival's Gray Ghost & Northern Lights as well as Crafted Matte clay all from slikhaarshop. I gotta say Hustle is awesome and I actually love the scent as it's very clean, but unfortunately I didn't like the scent of Crafted Matte Clay as it doesn't match with the quality of other products from The Salon Guy brand and it actually smells like a new book when you smell it or something like that (I apologize if this is weird😂), but that doesn't mean I will not be using it as it's not that bad it just smells okay 😁
Dani888 fuertes has a slightly softer feeling but hustle has better texture and hold but i would say because you can layer it. With fuertes you get a greasy hair style if you use to much
What’s the best clay that I can buy for $30 or lower? Like something that has a matte finish, medium- high hold, and can last for a long time and smells great. Also that is the most natural as possible. I have thicc hair also. Also, what is your favorite top 3 or top 5 hair products?
As a guy with medium and slightly wavy hair looking to style a voluminous quiff with a matte finish, I'd like to know, why should I buy Hustle instead of Clutch, or vice versa? What's the overall difference and what would you recommend to me?
Earl Vińbiłco Putinov depends o basically everything he mentioned in this video. Do you want a firm hold? Light to medium hold with lots of pliability? Grip vs no grip? They are 2 diff products completely.
@@TheSalonGuy thanks for the reply. My main doubt was if any of both would work better with my hair type, but now I know it's more the purpose I'm going for. Guess I'll be buying Clutch very soon!
It looks a bit too shiny to me.. Chris at Templeton Tonics is testing out his newly reformulated Oasis Clay.. It's about to soon come out, Try that, everyone says it's a mind-blowing product!
It’s really not meant to be super matte and dry looking but it’s designed to groom the hair, meaning get the job done fast and effortlessly with a natural finish. I use it daily on my clients and it’s not shiny. Matt has vibrant colors in his hair which shows off shine and vibrancy.
@@TheSalonGuy ah that's probably why it looks a bit shiny, I see! In that case I'll have to try this as my hair is longer now and I need something that goes in smoothly 😀👍🏻
Because it falls pretty frequently and requires fixing/restyling. Edit: sorry I just realized I’m an idiot and thought this comment was on a different video lol 😂 Anyway, Hustle is a medium because while it does hold up well, it still allows for some natural flowiness and movement, so as a result it will slightly fall or break down throughout the day. That’s what I enjoy about mediums though, I don’t go for products with crazy strong hold. I prefer a more “natural” feel
@@TDMStyle well thanks, but do you prefer the scent of hustle over CLUTCH XL & Pre-Game? I'm kinda looking forward to add 2 out of these 3 in my wishlist
@@TDMStyle thanks! I've just placed an order from Slikhaar shop, thought of buying hustle but was afraid that the product isn't for me due to the fact it's a medium hold product. But did order CLUTCH XL & Pre-Game! But again, thanks for helping me! From your reviews of these 2 products I noticed they were excellent in your opinion
Those are literally two completely different products made for different things. You want a drier, clay-type matte paste? Nevermore. Or if you want a strong hold cream pomade with low shine, Phantasm. Neither of them are anything like Hustle either, so..
@@TDMStyle ok so easier application, which one is more lighter as I have problems with heavy clays Or which light clay in general you can prefer (Dynamite Clay is a light but I did not really like it)
Hustle has smoother application and a more natural finish. Both are very lightweight in the hair. Clutch has a stronger hold and more matte finish. I really enjoy them both but I think for my hair type I like Hustle better, since it applies and styles so smoothly.
Bruh it’s a year old. There’s a reason why products have a 12M marking on the jar - once it’s opened it has a shelf life of that long before it “expires” and can either lose effectiveness or scent etc.
I do have some, but to be honest most of my older products have either partially lost their scent, or its changed in a weird way and smells different. Just part of the expiration thing. Depends on a lot of factors too like storage and climate conditions etc.
Depends what you want. Both are great at keeping the hair feeling silky and pliable. But Fuertes is oil based, this is water based, hold strengths are different, etc.
Honestly both are healthy for the hair and both work in several hair types. My only real suggestion is to try both and make your own decision on which you prefer. I'd say maybe Hustle might be better for thinner hair types since it is not oil based, where Fuertes can get a bit oily if you use too much. But if you use proper amounts, it's fine.
I get what you’re saying but imo the price should be reflective of the quality of product itself, and less so the packaging. Whole “book by its cover” thing, you know? But I understand your feeling.
As much as I appreciate feedback, opinions are like....oh never mind. I can assure you they don’t look cheap and the labels, applied by hand, are super high quality and the tins aren’t cheap. Keep in mind there are loads of costs involved with making these products. If I used cheap low grade ingredients and production then things may be different. For what it’s worth, that was offered to me but I said I wanted to not cheapen them and keep a high standard. Every brand is different. Some can afford glass and crazy packaging, but I get a comment like this once every so often which I take with a grain of salt. I just wanted to share my feedback. Question, what’s your age and demographic? I’m always curious to see who/where these comments come from.
@@TheSalonGuy I don't have a problem with the clay packaging. Tin does dent but doesn't impact anything for me. If I had to nitpick packaging its the the non-discreet shipping box when ordering from your website(the giant Salon guy sticker on the side of the box). Unfortunately its becoming more of a common practice for companies to place advertising on their boxes when shipping but it's a practice thats quite annoying. I just wish I could order everything in a more discreet manner. I've had gifts ruined because of this. Luckily some companies like Apple ship discreetly but its not from the goodness of their heart.... they are forced to because people would be targeting boxes with $1000+ items in them.
Looks very Shine product and bait an Add-On the the SalonGuy line, Clutch is the ONLY good product there. Reminds me of Hans De Fuko, a lot of products, 95% below average and only Claymation worth the price tag
About to watch the video but I know he will LOVE the product, it’s SalonGuy, whatever he makes, he will review it great #BIAS... I would say Clutch is FAR better than this or Pre-Game. Those 2 products are just add ons but not worthy paying more than $10.00 for average hair product. For me what matters is healthy benefits & hold. Pre-Game and Hustle are trash lol nothing compare to other products... but this guy will always love anything thrown at him that it’s from SalomGuy
Your logic is greatly flawed honey. If your first thought is that my review would be “#BIASLOLOLOL” then why are you even here? Just so you can leave irrelevant shitpost comments filled with misinformation? Don’t waste my time. Something tells me you haven’t even tried any of these products yourself and just want to feel relevant so you drop salty complaints like a standard keyboard warrior. If the sight of me legitimately enjoying these products makes you that needlessly butthurt, then I suggest you watch something else.
TDM Style well because I like your videos... lol, & I cant have an opinion on this LOL, don’t get so sensitive when it comes to The SalonGuy, and don’t call out anyone with “shitpost” the only reason why I mentioned it is because you preach so much about HOENST reviews LOL but kiss ass to SalonGuy, GTFO.... you make it seem like the SalonGuy is PERFECT, how much he paying you?

What exactly makes you think that because I like his products that that makes these particular reviews dishonest? I greatly enjoy plenty of other brands too, and make it known in my reviews of them. Does that mean I’m biased about all those too, and that they all pay me?

Thanks so much Matt! Really awesome to see how well this works in your hair man. Great footage and thanks for being a tester early on man.
You should make a cologne man , you’re pretty good with scents no joke
TheSalonGuy i have the same hairtype and i am defenitly try this and spray 25!
@fifameesternl havent tried this but 25 spray is a must have!
You already know I’m checking in on that scent reaction 😂😂👍
lol man, your scent reaction is so hilarious, crack me up everytime 😂
Great review Matt, can’t wait to try this one out! Stephen is definitely the scent guy.....F@&$ me up!🤣
Thanks Dan!
Just picked some up with your discount code. Always solid recommendations by Matt!

Thanks Clint! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Bro can confirm I fucking love the product I love how loose but firm it is .I do get all day hold with loose movement but it's still rigid which u fucking love so it's a perfect product for me!!!🔥🔥
Glad to you like it! Still one of my absolute faves.
@@TDMStyle I know all the reasons why!!
I didn’t even know he released another product so soon lol. How would compare this to “Clutch” or “Pre-game?”
This is only a medium hold product. Not meant to be a high hold like clutch and pregame
Great review Matt. I like your hair, looks so healthy and soft. Have you done keratine or something similar? Also your color hair looks awesome.
Thanks! Nope no keratin - just been using a bunch of really baller shampoos/conditioners in my rotation, plus this clay makes my hair feel so silky. And yeah I’m digging this color!
Bro trust me i saying with truly deep from my heart your a great reviewer i want you to please review full gatsby moving rubber range/series
Thank you so much! Gatsby stuff is definitely on my to-do list, especially with all my new upcoming "budget" stuff!

hey matt, between the new grooming paste and the hustle clay, which has more hold-texture ? as they have buttery smooth application? hoping for your kind response...
The new cream clay has more hold and is more matte.
Hey Matt! mind doing a video comparing all of thesalonguy products? really curious and cant decide which to buy! i have a similar hair type as you
Hmm that would be quite the video! I can def try to suggest some for you, just let me know what sort of style/finish etc you’re looking for :)
@@TDMStyle hey! thanks for the reply! im looking for hair clays, experimented with a couple and tried the bluuman monarch, but it does not provide enough hold due to my thick and coarse hair (similar to yours)! i really enjoy your thesalonguy reviews, and am stuck between clutch xl and hussle. Thanks for your reply!
the few im considering are clutch, clutch xl, pregame and hustle :)
Which one of the two do you prefer? Nevermore or phantasm? I personally prefer phantasm, but I want you opinion for curiosity
Of those two, Nevermore is more my type of product.
I love the kaolin jokes. Keep them coming!
Got a question though. How many times did you jizz smelling the product, Matt?
Several. 💦
I've just got this today along with Shear Revival's Gray Ghost & Northern Lights as well as Crafted Matte clay all from slikhaarshop. I gotta say Hustle is awesome and I actually love the scent as it's very clean, but unfortunately I didn't like the scent of Crafted Matte Clay as it doesn't match with the quality of other products from The Salon Guy brand and it actually smells like a new book when you smell it or something like that (I apologize if this is weird😂), but that doesn't mean I will not be using it as it's not that bad it just smells okay 😁
If compared to the salonguy new paste.....which has more control,for thucker hair??
I feel like both offer a similar level of control. The paste for me has a little more hold and a slightly waxier texture.
Who did your highlights on your hair ? I am asking because I like the colors in your hair and thinking of maybe doing the same on my hair
I get them done at the salon. I have a few videos on the process for various colors :)
How does hustle compare to fuertes in terms of application, amount of nourishemnt it gives the hair once in the hair, and texture? Thanks :)
Dani888 fuertes has a slightly softer feeling but hustle has better texture and hold but i would say because you can layer it. With fuertes you get a greasy hair style if you use to much

@@TDMStyle Ah I see, I'm gonna try it then. Need something smooth in my medium length hair. 👍🏻😀
So they are reformulating oasis clay?
🤣🤣🤣 that shit was funny towards the end 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
looks to me a pretty strong hold on your longer hair...how come its a medium hold product?

Planning to get to that one soon!
This vs Firsthand Clay Pomade? At the point of scent & hold?
For me Hustle all day tbh. Firsthand is nice too but drier, similar hold, and not nearly as baller a scent
@@TDMStyle well thanks, but do you prefer the scent of hustle over CLUTCH XL & Pre-Game?

Not much really, it breaks down super easy.

It can be quite frustrating at times, right? I’m glad I’m not alone haha
We don’t care about the product. All we want is that scent reaction biiiiiiiiiiiiitch! 😜 great review!
😂😂 Thanks!
Immaculate.
