- Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
My name's Thomas, if you're brand new
and I make style and hair related videos every single week.
So if that's your kinda thing,
make sure you hit the subscribe button
and come back and visit me every single Monday.
So, in today's video we're doing like a version 2.0
of a video that I have done previously
but it's different.
The reason it's different,
we're talking about taming flyaways
and getting rid of the fuzzies.
So, Kim, this was kinda dangerous
giving me access to the close-up cam in here.
I'm hoping today that the method
that we're gonna be using
will help me get rid of my flyaways.
A lot of you with man buns
will probably relate to this as well.
Having a man bun does get flyaway pieces
and little stragglers like this
that are really uncontrollable,
and in the wind, and just going out in general
they tend to fuzz up and they muck your hairdo, right.
They suck, I hate them, they're gross
and you probably do as well.
My previous video on how to tame man bun flyaways
was, I think I posted it nearly a year ago now,
it was a very big hit for your guys, you really liked it
and that's my method that I came up with myself
on how to tame my flyaways.
But recently I've been scrounging around on the internet
looking for new ideas and I came across this method
of taming flyaways with a toothbrush.
How cool is that?
So, apparently all you have to do is put your product
onto the toothbrush and lightly comb it
through your hair, I guess.
Now, the video I saw was done with hairspray
and my experience with hairspray,
I'm not really that happy with how hairspray
makes my hair look, it does make it look very stiff.
So, on this side,
we gonna test one side with hairspray
we gonna test one side with Aunt Jackie's flaxseed gel
and see how it goes.
But I've never really tried this before
and I wanted to like,
I just wanted to see if I could make it work.
And if it works then you guys can benefit from it as well.
But yeah, that's essentially what we're doing.
So, flaxseed gel, it's like gel
but it doesn't make your hair look wet,
it doesn't dry or stiff and it's really good for slicking.
So that's why I thought we would try it out
but then on the other hand we have hairspray from Davroe.
Davroe are really great,
they send me products all the time, thanks Andrew.
And we're gonna test out this hairspray
along with the toothbrushes, okay.
I'm not really an expert in doing it with a toothbrush
so this is the first time for me
but if it works, good.
I encourage you to go and get another toothbrush
and try this yourself.
The way I saw it,
you just spray the product onto the brush
and then you comb it into your hair.
I am gonna need a mirror for this.
So, let's get to it.
No idea what we're freakin' doing
but we'll try it anyway.
So, I'm gonna go a little bit of a spray on here.
Now, I'm anticipating that the hairspray
is gonna stiffen my hair a little bit.
Oh my God, look at that.
That's an instantaneous result.
♪ Little bit more, little bit more. ♪
It's actually good.
Again though, you've gotta be very careful
not to use too much.
You can already see that difference in this camera.
Look at it.
Ooh, I'm liking this.
So easy too.
Well it's already startin' to stiffen, just like I thought.
All right there's the version with the hairspray.
Oh my God, actually immaculate difference.
Cool, we can see all these other fuzzies sticking out here.
The real question is, How long does it last?
I have a feeling the hairspray
will probably outlast the flaxseed gel.
Just because it's stiffer.
And I can feel my hair stiffening up right now
but it doesn't look bad,
it actually looks slicked back and nice.
I'm impressed.
Okay, how do you fuckin' do this. (mumbles).
Chuckin' toothbrush in my flaxseed gel.
This is a little bit harder to work with.
This is like fully wetting my hair.
Still got a similar effect though.
Its even slicker.
I'm actually really digging that hairspray side, holy fuck.
These side bits here though,
they're probably something I would pin.
Whoa, hang on, I think I actually.
I can't tell which one I like better.
I actually think the flaxseed gel is doing a better job
of getting all the hairs down.
Like with this side, it got predominantly most of them down.
But it didn't quite get these one's right here,
if you have a look.
These one's still a little fuzzy on the sides.
It still looks slick but probably a bit dryer
and that's probably because the texture of this
is a lot wetter and it doesn't dry as fast either.
And the cool thing about flaxseed gel as well,
is when it does actually dry it doesn't go crusty
and gross like normal gels do.
You guys can be the judge.
So this is like freshly after I've just done it.
I'm already seeing immaculate results, like in mirror here.
Do a little before and after.
So this is the hairspray side,
this is the flaxseed gel side.
The flaxseed gel side looks a little bit shinier,
right this second.
But you know what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna wait about 10 minutes,
'cause in 10 minutes both the products should be set.
A verdict on what I think's better.
But yeah, all right, cool, see you in 10 minutes.
- [Male Voice] Eleven Minutes Later.
- All right guys it's been 10 minutes
and I have come back,
I've just let all this product dry up nicely.
So, in review, in think both of these
worked really really well, with the toothbrush.
I think probably I put a little bit too much flaxseed gel
because on this side, as you can see,
this side has quite a lot of shine to it
and it does still look a little bit wet with the gel there.
But the point is like when the gel dries
it doesn't go stiff, like normal gel makes your hair go.
And then if we look on this side,
we still a bit of nice shine,
the flyaways aren't completely deceased on this side,
there is still very minor, little tiny ones that pop up.
However this is a more natural sorta look.
It doesn't feel too stiff either, like I've sprayed
a heap of hairspray on it.
It's kind of just, it feels really light.
So, both of them were really really good results.
This one, the flaxseed gel probably way more slicker.
If you're going for a really slick like suave look,
I would probably use the flaxseed gel.
But if you're going for just a more natural
sort of like, "What flyaways?" Kinda look,
the hairspray was also a really good option.
And the ease of application with toothbrushes,
who would have thought.
They should make a hair toothbrush
or a, well they do have a hairbrush
but they should actually make these things
for taming flyaways 'cause it's a really big problem.
Maybe I just gave myself my next million dollar idea.
So yeah, both methods in my opinion, go ahead,
I actually really like it
and to be honest it's a little bit more simple
than my previous way of taming flyaways.
Before I was straightening all the hair out
then I was using three different types of products
to pin it all down maybe even some bobby pins.
But with this one, I've been walking around with it,
it's dried up nicely and I rate both of them.
I am a little bit like, "Oh, I wonder what we could do
"with the back?"
I did try and get the toothbrush behind though
but I thought when I was doing it,
it's probably not suitable while I'm sitting right here
and probably have to do it in the mirror
and really tidy it up.
But as for what's happened in the front here,
I'm happy with both sides and would recommend, okay.
So everybody go and buy a toothbrush,
these were like $1 each from the bloody supermarket
and go and check out some flaxseed gel or some hairspray
of your choice.
I'll leave links to the ones that I used,
if you'd like to go and check 'em out.
Okay, that's pretty much all I've got for you
and I'm really happy with this new method.
I really like how my hair's looking.
It's so slick and clean.
I think I am leaning towards the hairspray side
a little bit more, to be honest.
Just 'cause it's more natural.
All right guys, thank you so much
for coming back to watch.
I really hope you enjoyed this video.
Please give it a thumbs up
and I'll see you next week for another one.
All right, see ya later.
