- Moroccanoil Texture Clay,
hyped or over hyped?
(upbeat music)
This has been a long time coming,
and I know I featured this in several videos,
I had it in a most used.
You guys have been asking,
I just haven't got round to it.
I'm sorry, but it is here,
it is here, absolutely,
and I am ready to really, really tell you
what I think about this.
Now, if you're new to this then hi,
I'm Robin, click subscribe right now
if you're a guy that cares.
A guy that cares about haircare,
haircuts, hairstyles, grooming,
skin care and fragrance.
The button is just below this video.
Okay, so this one came about
actually after you guys had suggested I try it.
This is Moroccanoil Texture Clay,
it says for all hair types,
that's what we like,
buildable texture.
And I thought,
looking at the packaging,
it didn't really excite me,
it feels a little bit like a sort of 90s hair product
that you would have got
with the sort of green and the white,
but as we all know,
never judge a product by its packaging.
So I did get into it.
Now, when you sort of have a smell,
you can see,
I've used quite a lot there,
hope that's not a giveaway,
but smelling it here,
it doesn't smell of anything in particular.
It smells quite dry,
it smells like clay,
which I like.
And something else really that is good about this
is it has clay in the ingredients,
and clay is really high up in that,
so it is water based,
so aqua's at the top.
There's also shea butter,
argan oil and bentonite.
There are two types of clay.
If you know my videos,
I go on about bentonite or kaolin,
and when you're looking for a clay product,
it really should be in there.
Now, when you are getting into the product,
you're scooping it out,
it is soft,
it's quite creamy.
It's easily emulsified,
so that's really when you work it into the hand
and you get it to be quite clear,
and then into the application.
This is kind of where you start to see the product
really starting to work and perform.
The application is so easy,
it's so smooth.
There is no tug,
there is no pull,
it feels good.
And you can see that into the styling.
What I think I've probably been most impressed by
in this product
is how responsive it is.
We are all looking for that Holy Grail,
Holy Grail product,
the product that does everything.
And when I'm using a product,
if it says it has texture,
if it says it's got a great hold,
if it says it's easy to wash out,
I wanna see all those things.
And for this sort of styling,
you can really start to feel that grit.
You can feel the texture,
you can see the texture.
The hair has great movement
and the styling is easy.
It doesn't tug,
it doesn't pull,
and it really does go where you want it to go.
Finished, sort of how the hair looks
and how it feels is great.
It's always a product,
and you can see that I've used 1/2 of this,
it is always a product that I trust.
When I want that sort of lived in,
little bit of movement in the hair,
something that feels like it's styled
but not over-styled
for that sort of everyday look,
it works so well for that.
One thing I've said,
and I said on manforhimself.com,
the product's pages are literally a bible of hair products.
We have got so many on there,
and I said on the product page,
it's a product that does what it says on the tin.
I am liking this,
one thing I've noticed when I've been sort of applying it
is it is all about the texture.
You can kinda really move it in,
and it's got movement and definition.
It feels moisturised,
but it also it has that sort of gritty texture
that you'd get with a product which would be quite dry.
Also, the hold seems to be quite good and is moving,
but we shall see.
It's been a long old day at work,
I've been sat here just sort of playing with my hair.
It's been in for 12 hours and do you know what?
Actually fine, I literally have been sitting,
playing with my hair,
and it's jumped straight back in.
It feels good,
it feels texturized,
and actually I've not added any more.
So I'm impressed.
This product has sold it to me
and just done so well.
And also really,
when you're thinking about how it works
and into washability,
it comes out no bother.
You don't have any greasiness,
there's no stickiness.
The hair feels good,
it feels conditioned and it feels nourished.
Also price point I think is really reasonable for this.
I do have the best prices that we find
constantly updated on manforhimself.com,
currently there's some prices around about the £16 mark,
this is 75 grammes.
About the $20 to $25,
which I think is really very fair for this sort of product
because it does deliver.
You know how much I've spoken about it
and never given a review,
so this one for me is 100% hyped.
And it is a product
that I'm going to enter into
the first ever Man For Himself Holy Grail of products.
I'm gonna tick a box on manforhimself.com,
I'm gonna add it into a category.
And whenever I find these amazing five star products,
they are gonna get added in there.
So check this out,
everything will be linked down in the description.
I hope now you can all rest easy
that I have done this video.
I'm sorry it took so long, honestly,
there are so many products.
No excuses Robin,
it took too long.
So that is it there.
