Well i have tried Suavecito and Layrite Pomade... it does not provide matte look. For matte looks, you have to either go clay or wax...

How about HDF Quicksand?

good... my personal favorite. matte and lasting. need some hairspray to get that hold.

claymation seems to be the harder one between those two...i might actually get them..

i got myself the JS Sloane Medium Hold Brilliantine...very good..not sticky, some shine, but great hold so far..and i only use small portion..

Yeah its harder. A good tip is that blow dry your hair before applying anything coz it will make the styling easier as well as achieve that high rise effect.

i agree bro..blow drying definitely help to keep the hair intact for easier styling..

I just got myself HDF Claymation from The Yard..tested it and it is all I wanted on a clay..awesome..no smell, easy to use and wash, and matte finish..

on a side note, what do you guys do manage hair thinning especially at the back of your head...

LOL... i applied tons of hair growth tonic on the front of my hair. Sleep early, avoid oily hair products, cut down on my ciggies, home scalp treatment and use anti hair fall shampoo. Sounds like lots of work but better do it than sorry in the near future.

i am using the hair growth tonic too, what brand are you using? is it effective?

yup, i dont like oily hair products too, which is why i always look for water based and matte finish if possible..
anti hair fall shampoo eh..i am using Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Shampoo..i buy the big bottle from a shop in Plaza 33, can last me a year..and i do use it a lot..

Nioxin Diaboost. Good... Lesser hair fall when combing it.

Shampoo i use Matrix Biolace Cooling Mint Shampoo... i got everything at SS2 Mall.

which shop in SS2? I have never visited that mall before...

can you share the price for it...

The shop at the ground floor. i think its near guardian. i couldnt remember the price anymore.

HI guys need your advice, i was gonna do the slickback/pomp hairstyle but i have super soft hair and its crazy hard to keep it in place i used the gatsby clay thing and its still not enough lol anything else that i can try, is pomade better, if so can recommend me a water based one.? thanks

Hey man, i would suggest to before blowing dry your hair, apply some pre styling or some soft wax. Then blow dry it.

Here remember to use a brush to blow dry it to your desired shape.

When its done, start apply pomade, wax or clay from the back to the front part. Remember to use bit by bit. Example a 10 cent coin size. Only apply when needed.

This is because too much hair product will make your hair hard to stay in shape because its too heavy to hold your soft hair.

With soft hair, its recommended to use lighter products such as clay.

I hope this works. My customer all made it after trying this.

Oh thanks so much lol btw is blowdry a must? cause my dryer spoilt already ahha

its a crucial... towel dry not so effective...

OKay thanks man btw i am thinking of getting a pomade do you recommend any? i was thinking of HDF claymation or is there a water based one thats better?

We pomade is too oily for my liking. I prefer Dynamite Clay over HDF Claymation because i feel that the volume of By Vilain Dynamite Clay has more volume for my pomp...

thats fantastic man, ill check it out

Im glad i could help. Youtube can be a great source of reference.

How about trying a bit less difficult in styling disconnected undercut? https://africanamericanhairstyling.com/disc...ected-undercut/ Wax is also welcomed but if you have thick hair it is not necessary. The fourth picture is my fav))
