Holy Hairstyle! I was super excited to see this Matt. As always your presentation is top notch. Was really great to see how this performed on your hair. I have noticed also if you do apply more, it adds a lot of control for thicker hair to where it applies a bit like a heavy cream, then over time as it dries the product transforms into a different product which it's designed to do. Thanks again as always for your support!!!
Hit the nail on the head, Matt...this is a phenomenal product (I too have purchased this product as I had heavily anticipated it and bought on launch day). I’ve owned and used my fair share of clays and pastes, and this is in a league of its own (I’m sure SalonGuy would appreciate that). One additional comment I’ll add to those who may be looking - this product serves as the closest thing I’ve found to a ‘matte gel’ - meaning, a strong hold piece-y look, with a pretty matte finish. I’m still testing on different styles (dry application), but so far, this has been the best, most versatile, product I’ve used. Well done SalonGuy.
Thanks Victor!
I finally got Pregame. It’s fantastic! Love it! ❤️
Glad you’re liking it Tracey!
TheSalonGuy is a master of hair products!!!!!!
Great review as always. Looks like a great product.
Thank you! This is definitely a great one.
I’ve been wondering who you reminded me of and I finally figured it out, Jackson Rathbone with medium length hair!
Thanks! I think he is a bit more handsome than I am though lol 😅
Thanks bro! Just ordered this product 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey , do you think this would work on long wavy hair? I style my hair into a middle part so I’m thinking of using this product to hold it in place during the day , since my hair usually flattens out , hopefully it works since I already purchased it
This is literally the perfect product.
Wassup Mat, would you consider picking this up in warm and humid countries ? I live in Singapore where it’s pretty much 100% humidity and summer all year round. Would love to hear your thoughts on this issue!
Hey there! I could see this performing well in a humid climate since it has such a strong degree of hold/control and keeps the hair feeling so light.
Hey Matt, great review as always. I have this stuff and love it. I have two questions for you. Would you recommend this as a pre Styler as opposed to blumaan original? Also do you use any Hairspray after post styling? Thanks again man!
Hey Frank! You can definitely use Pre Game as a prestyler too, and personally I like it better than Original since it applies and styles very smooth and not sticky at all. Typically I don’t use any hairspray after styling - sometimes I do use a shine spray though :)
TDM Style but pre game does not have heat protectant ?
Really any kind of product that you put into your hair before heat treating is giving you some level of heat protection. The heat has to evaporate the moisture in the product before getting to the hair so it's essentially like another layer.
I knew that this was coming.
Hey Matt, is the hold stronger than clutch xl?
For me yes, this does seem to be a stronger hold than XL. Lighter-feeling in the hair, too.
Faster than expected.
Wanted to get this out asap 💪🏻
I died when you said "Fuck me up"😂 sounds like the making of a porno😂😂
Could you do a video of how many strands u personally lose a day ? Like when on your pillows when u wake up , when u shampoo , combing then styling etc. it would help a lot
I dunno if it's worth doing a whole video on tbh cause I don't really pay attention to it at all lol. But generally speaking it is normal to lose about 100 to 150 strands per day.
@@TDMStyle That's a lot! But probably so do I. I have same hairlength as you.
You should look into the Australian brand, Evo.
Like that design
Hey Matt, rcently bought the Pregame. I have to say, the scent is something special it smells fantastic. But I have some problem with the product. The hold when first applied is really good. I love the styling process with the Pregame. Unfortunately, that's where the good experience end. I don't really get that high hold with the product. It lack the hold, and doesn't control my hair as well. I have a pretty thick hair, and I also run my fingers through my hair a lot throughout the day. So maybe that's one of the factor? I also live in Malaysia, a tropical country. That could be another factor. Do you think I could have a better experience with Clutch? I had better experience with heavy clays before. Maybe Cavalier clay would work better?
I have a somewhat thick hair, btw. Would appreciate if you could give your opinion!
If you are touching your hair a lot throughout the day, especially in a hot/humid climate, that could definitely be contributing to the product breaking down and losing some hold. Clutch has a drier matte finish, so I don't think that would work much better for you. I think for your climate you may have better luck with something oil-based or waxier, like Gerson & Co. Tropics matte clay, which is formulated specifically for hot/humid areas.
I have long hair like 12 on top and 10 on side, which product should I use?
I have fine hair. Is it for me or I should look for something else if I want volume in my hair ??
I think this would work well for fine hair since it does have a swelling and volumizing effect. Plus it's so lightweight.
I have thin, fine, straight hair. Would you recommend pre-game or clutch? I work long hours and sometimes don't have time to style my hair the next day.
I’d go with Pre Game since as it transforms it plumps up the hair too.
@@TDMStyle Thanks for the response man, you got my sub.
You’re very welcome! I appreciate your support 🙏🏻
I gotta get this
Yee it’s good shit
Any suggestions for super straight think asian hair. I would think heavy clays works best but for some reason if I shake my hair, or work out or just walk around on a hot day, just a mild sweat drops my fringe area. My barber was saying perhaps something lighter would actually work better for me.
Any suggestions? Do you think this would work for me?
Other things I’ve ordered: layrite matte cream (layrite cement clay drops my hair so fast), blumann monarch, Kevin Murphy night rider paste, and suavacito firme and clay pomade
Hi Antony! I think Pre Game would work perfectly for you. I’ve seen it work on straight Asian hair and it was amazing. It feels fairly waxy and heavy at first application, so you get that control when styling. But as it transforms it becomes super light and boosts volume. The hold is insanely strong too. I think it will be a home run for you.
TDM Style thank you! And what pre styler would you recommend for me? I mostly struggle with hold, exercising and sweating a little, the front drops and the style isn’t the same.
What’s the round brush you’re using? Awesome review btw.
I think it is from Morocconoil
Temel Yilmaz Thanks! This one is the 2.5” ceramic “Ergo Round” brush from Le’Marca. The brand seems to be very difficult to find (I got this in a gift set a while ago) so I’m not sure what their deal is lol
Matt current top 3, any changes lately - possibly this one? Mine is at the mail currently. can't wait to try this out
Hmmm well I’ve def been loving Pre Game lately, M2, and Fuertes clay!
Hey mate! I've been using Blumaan Cavalier (the one with the zebra, not the original) and I'm quite happy about it. But I'm willing to try something else water based and I saw your videos.
Among the three products from The Salon Guy, which one would you say has they strongest hold? Or which one would you recommend? The Clutch, The Clutch XL or Pre Game?
To me it seems that Pre Game is a game changer among the three of them and compared to Cavalier.
I really hope you can give me a hand here as I'm from Chile in South America and it's not quite easy for me to go for a product like this.
Thank you in advance and kind regards.
Hi Hugo! Pre Game is definitely the strongest holding and most unique of those three, but before you buy any of them I just want to tell you all the differences so you can be sure. I know shipping can be very expensive.
Clutch for me is like a solid medium firm hold, feels very light in the hair. Still one of my fave water-based clays. The XL version does have a stronger hold but is also waxier in the hair and a bit heavier feeling.
Pre Game starts out feeling quite heavy and waxy, with a low shine. Then over several hours it gets lighter and lighter and the finish becomes wayy more matte. It maintains a very strong hold and pliability.
So yeah I think Pre Game def has the strongest hold, but it’s also extremely different from Cavalier so I just wanted to make sure you were feeling good about a potential purchase!
Hope this helps. Cheers!
@@TDMStyle thanks a lot mate... I will give it a try definitely.
As far as I know, water based products are better for the hair than oil based ones.
You should do a review for the moracan oil clay..every one says it's great but I have my concerns...I trust you..I think you could shed some light
I already did a review for that one, search my vids and you’ll find it :)
@@TDMStyle I feel bad 😂😂❤
No worries haha
Hey Matt, would you recommended this or original by blumaan as a pre-styler for someone with an identical hair type as you.
Pre Game by a long shot. For me Original is very sticky and can be quite uncomfortable to use.
Does this product clump hair strands together? What i mean is strand separation? Instead of keeping the all the strands together to have that thicker look
It gives a nice coarse texture and def sticks strands together like a clay. It does not make strands separated.
TDM Style okay thank you. Cause I’m debating on whether to get clutch or pre-game at the moment
So it has an extremely high hold and is ridiculously easy to apply. Would you say this is your new favorite Salon Guy product?
Possibly! I still have a spot in my heart for OG Clutch though. But this is certainly very unique and works awesome.
I really love it, amazing hold, but more of a medium shine, to my hair, this is no nowhere close to matte
Hey Matt, how does it feel in the hair? When I tried clutch, it left my hair for some reason so was wondering if this is similar or not?
This is very different from Clutch - feels fairly heavy and waxy at first application, then when it transforms it becomes weightless, totally matte, and adds even more volume and texture but staying completely solid with a really strong hold and lots of pliability for restyling.
This vs Stickmore styling cream and Arcadian matte paste overall and as far as most hold?
I haven’t tried the Arcadian matte paste yet, so I can’t say for that one. However it’s a close call between this and Stickmore cream as far as hold - both are super strong. Pre Game definitely has an easier and less dry application though where as Stickmore is immediately dry and very matte.
Brother have thick hair and planning to buy this product and how its hold compared to clutch xl
I find it stronger than XL. Very different product though too.
This one or Fuertes Styling clay 🤔 What's the difference and which one is better in terms of hold and more suitable for thick hair?
They're apples and oranges. Fuertes is an oil-based clay while this is a water-based matte paste with only waxes and no clay. Both are definitely great in thick hair for their own reasons - strictly in terms of hold though, Pre Game definitely has a considerably stronger hold for me.
@@TDMStyle thanks for the answer Matt! And in terms of stickiness and application? I usually use oil based products, currently I use apothecary 87 clay pomade. I wanted to try out fuertes, but Pre Game also sounds really great. Which one would you prefer?
It's hard to pick one between the two because they're totally different. Depends on my mood for the day or weather/what I'm up to. If I want my hair to be soft and flowy, I'll go with Fuertes. If I want it to hold its shape all day and be super matte, Pre Game. Compared to A87 clay, Fuertes is much lighter feeling and much less greasy. So it all depends on what you want.
Please tell me which product has a better hold clutch xl or this one or gold digger.
And could you please tell me how to get it in Europe.
Thx for answer have a nice day.
For me Pre Game definitely has the most hold of those three. You can get it on Slikhaar Shop or Moquer.
This one or Hybrid cream clay by blumaan? Have similar hair to yours, maybe a little bit thinner
Hybrid and Pre Game are entirely different from top to bottom so you can’t really compare them. Pre Game is a very strong hold wax that transforms over time while Hybrid is a light holding cream clay with a semi-matte finish.
bro plzz reply
i was searching on google- is it safe to brush hair daily with round brush with no dryer??
they say brushing=baldness....
is it true????
No, that is not true. I don’t know what you are reading but that is a ridiculous claim. The only way a brush will make you “bald” is if you are brushing so forcefully that you are physically ripping out chunks of hair or something..
I really want to try this but it's a pity it doesn't have any organic ingredients or nourishing ingredients like Zero Wax By Villain. No shea butter, jojoba oil etc.
I do agree that those type of ingredients are great, but this is a product meant to have extremely strong hold. And added oils/shea butter etc decrease hold strength of products, so I'm guessing that's why they are not in there. Still a great product imo.
@@TDMStyle I have 25 bucks to spend. It's either Zero Wax By Villain which I absolutely love, Sumotech B&B or Pregame Salon Guy. I am tempted to go for Pregame. Only thing stopping me now is that people on Reddit say it is dry and tacky? But on your hair it looks perfect and almost the opposite of tacky.
For me Pre Game applies really smooth and easy. Starts out feeling a little heavy and waxy with a natural shine, then after a few hours it becomes totally matte and lighter, with a drier feel. I never have dry/tacky issues when applying though.
@@TDMStyle I went for the Wax Zero back then, but now I'm FINALLY buying Pregame lol.
Hey Matt... I love your videos you tell it like it is and no sugar coating. You hair type sounds just like mine and I was worried about a lot of tugging and pulling with this product and I am happy you didn’t have any problems. I can’t wait to try it but I’m broke like a lot of people are around Christmas 🎄 Hope you’re holidays are great. 👍😎
Thanks Tracey! Haha and yeah I definitely know that feeling - I still need to do most of my present shopping 😬Happy holidays!
Bro please reply to me
I have a really thick hair and i can't get it up so I would like to ask you which product you've tested has the best hold.
It’s hard to say one product because I’ve tested a shit load of them and many have similar levels of hold. Many are strong - but what other qualities are you looking for like shine level, texture etc?
@@TDMStyle low shine matt product high hold. Which one would you recommend me
Try Pre Game then, it’s exactly what you want.
Is this drier than clutch XL (which is a bit too dry for me) and which scent do you like more?
Long Nguyen no it’s not it’s more of a creamy wax texture
@@TheSalonGuy then I'm sold. Definitely buying it. Killin it man!
TheSalonGuy I would also give the product a go since I liked Clutch matte styling clay.
Nah this is def more of a creamy texture than Clutch XL and really I don't find this product to be dry at all. It does turn into a super matte finish once it's totally set, but still for me it doesn't feel very dry even at that point.
Lol 2:51 I saw that coming
😂
Clutch xl vs Pre Game. Which one would you prefer. My hair is just like you. Except it is black 😅. And can I use Pre game as a pre styler with Clutch XL. Please reply soon. Thanks. I live in India and Ordered Clutch XL already, but feeling regretted after watching Pre Game.
Personally I prefer Pre Game to XL. Yes you can use Pre Game as a prestyler, but I prefer to use a smoothing solution like 25 spray or an oil/serum and then finish with Pre Game instead.
I saw the demos of crafted and pre game in your video....Both says they are extreme hold!! Are they? For me i think pre game has more volume and texture on your hair.
Do u agree with that in hold Department?
Or they both have same level of hold?
I am about order pre game but also interested in crafted paste.
So what's your opinion?
hoping for a reply. 😃
Hmm, probably similar levels of hold, yeah. PreGame starts out feeling heavy and waxy though with a natural shine and becomes more matte, textured and voluminous after a few hours. Crafted is very lightweight, matte and voluminous pretty much instantly.
Thanks for the review. For thick straight asian hair, do you recommend Pre Game or Clutch XL?
Pre Game! I like both products, but after seeing Stephen’s own video testing Pre Game on exactly that hair type, I think that’s the way to go for you 👍🏻
What exactly set this product apart from TSG's Clutch line (reg & the XL)? Other than the ingredients obv :D
Also have u tried it as a pre-styler for both of the Clutch products?
I rarely ever prestyle with clays - Clutch I’ve only ever used in dry hair as a post styler. Pre Game is totally different. The transformative nature of it sets it apart the most, plus how weightless it feels after it changes. Hold is insane too.
@@TDMStyle my bad. What I meant was have u tried using pregame as prestyler for clutch? Thx for the explanation tho 🤙
Ahh gotcha, sorry for the misunderstanding. I haven’t tried it that way - I’ll have to give it a shot!
Ahhh FUCK ME UPP
Do a Dick Johnson Fiber Wax review.
Which is better monarch by blumann or pre game by the salon guy plz point out the difference for me
They are 100% different. For me, Monarch was basically a light hold and was not matte at all. It gave me a very separated texture with a kind of dry-feeling but also shiny finish, almost like a gel, and it started falling apart after about 30 minutes. Pre Game is essentially the exact opposite. Clay-like texture that's not separated, super matte finish once it sets up, super strong hold, and very pliable.
Ohkk thanks
And plz plz plz plz do a review on night Rider by Kevin Murphy because I have it but I am always having problem to apply in my hair
This or northern lights?
They are vastly different so it’s really not a good comparison.
