(fanfare)
- Hello guys, and welcome back to my channel.
My name is Thomas if you're brand new here,
and I make style and hair related videos every single week,
so if that's your kind of thing, make sure you hit the
subscribe button, and come back and visit me every Monday.
(chuckles)
This video today is to celebrate the new launch
or the relaunch of BluMaan Fifth Sample pomade.
Joe did bring this out about three years ago.
I don't know if you guys have already tried it or not.
However, I think they had a few issues with the actual
product in the beginning, and it's take them about
three years to actually get this all together
and come up with something that they're happy with.
So, Sam from BluMaan, he reached out probably a couple weeks
ago now, and asked me if I'd be interested in contributing
to the launch, and of course, with all the other BluMaan
products that I've tested out, I was definitely down for it.
If you guys watch me on a regular basis as well, you'll know
pomades aren't usually a kind of hair product that I have
in my hair drawer, you know what I mean?
Like, I don't really use them.
And particularly because what I found with pomades
in the past were they get very oily and very greasy,
and they also add a lot of shine,
they're a shine product.
If you know me, I don't really like a wet shiny shiny look.
So I've always steered clear of them.
But the cool thing about this one is they say
that it's a low shine edition, so I'm not going to be
expecting a heap of shine and that wet look.
It's also a water-based one.
There's two types of pomades.
You've got water, and you got oil-based.
The oil-based ones are what give you a really awful,
they're just not cool.
The just don't wash out.
And water ones, they're usually really hard to make,
so BluMaan has really been brave by going and creating
something like this, but I'm really really interested
to try it out.
And the type of hairstyle we're gonna be doing today is a
low conservative ponytail.
I don't know if you guys saw my hairstyles for different
occasions video that I released a couple of weeks ago.
I did like business attire, I also did formal attire.
And a lot of the hairstyles that I talked about in those
categories were very slick, very tidy hairdos.
And I thought, cool, this is great time for me
to do something like this, and the low conservative ponytail
was one that I thought, it looked really cool, and it's not
like a hairstyle that we see a lot.
So I'm going to be doing one of those today for you.
And we're gonna be looking at how this product
actually works.
So I've got a bit of information here, it took three years
to develop, they've redefined the formula.
Problems with other pomades, there's not enough hold
throughout the day, poor hair health leading to thinning,
frizziness, dryness, and scalp issues, too heavy and greasy,
and difficult emulsification.
For those that don't know what emulsification is, it's just
like when you rub the product together and apply it,
that's what it is.
What does Fifth Sample provide?
High hold for a hairstyle that lasts all day
without weighing it down.
Got five hair health ingredients to help combat
brittle hair, dry hair, dry scalp, dull hair, and frizz.
They did say, looks that it's good for is for slick-back.
Now, obviously, with my hair being this length,
a slick-back's not really gonna, I mean it could work,
we could try it, but I'm going to be doing the low ponytail.
Maybe would do a bit of both.
We can just see how it looks with both.
I'll bring you closer up as well
once I've got my hairstyle done, because we're going to be
straightening and doing all the things today.
Yeah, that's pretty much all about it.
If we have a look at the packaging, again, they have just
done it, like, look at this whole family.
They're just the best looking family
I've ever seen in my life.
Whoever creates their art is a fricking genius,
and I really like the coloration and stuff they put in it.
They've used a gorilla this time.
The only thing that I thought was weird was that the gorilla
instead of having a slick-back, which is what this product
is supposed to be good for, he has a pompadour.
So, it didn't really make sense to me, but who really cares?
Because he looks cool.
You'll also notice that this tub is a lot bigger
than the other ones.
I don't know if they'll be selling a small version,
but the other BluMaan products that I've got,
they all come in this size.
This is a 2.5 ounce, and this is a 3.7 ounce,
so it's a fairly big tub.
And they haven't really confirmed whether it's going to be
smaller or not, but yeah.
I do know the price of this one is a little bit more.
This one's $21.50 US, and when we open it up,
ooh,
it looks quite different as well to a regular pomade.
This actually looks like like bubblegum in a tub.
It's so different, and it's like this blue galactic colour.
It's really cool, I love the colour.
The texture of it, it's quite gummy, so it is kind of
like chewing gum, but the one thing that I have to admit
is I usually love all the BluMaan smells.
The Monarch Paste is the one that I like the most so far.
However, for smells with this one,
it actually does smell, like, I dunno, plasticky or gooey,
or something like that.
It just doesn't have a nice hair product smell,
which I thought was quite odd.
If it were me, doing this, I'd make it smell like bubblegum,
because that's exactly what it looks like.
But I guess bubblegum's kind of not traditionally
a manly smell, but, that's just what I would do.
Anyway, so that's the product, and now it's time
to get into doing our hairstyle.
So we're going to be doing the low conservative ponytail.
And the way we're going to be doing that is
by straightening it.
I'm going to be using my Vanity Planet
Flow styling brush today, because my hair has keratins.
It is starting to wear off a little bit, so my fuzzies are
starting to come back, and holy hell, in Australia right now
it is hotter than this guy.
But no, so straightening my hair is going to be a little bit
of a bitch, but that's why I'm using the Flow styling brush,
because I can get decent straight hair
within 20 minutes with this guy.
I did do a full review about him as well, but we're going
to be using him to straighten all of my hair out.
And then once my hair is straightened,
then we're gonna chuck this guy on.
Aright, let's get into it.
Cool, so while that's heating up.
(distant humming)
That guy with the leaf blower
knows I'm trying to film a video.
I'm sure of it.
(playful music)
Just a little bit more there, and that will do me.
(chuckles)
Okay, so, 20 minutes later I have my hair
all straightened out.
A hair straightener will give you a significantly
straighter result than this.
However, for this tutorial that I'm doing today,
it's not really a big deal.
And, yeah, I'm really happy with it.
Having my hair keratined as well makes it that much more
easy to just straighten out and have like this
within a short time period.
Now,
(coughs)
during the straightening process, I did notice my ends
are starting to look quite ratty.
That's natural when you don't get a trim for a while.
And I haven't had a trim.
I'm probably due to go to the hairdresser.
So what I'm gonna do is just
add a little bit of ends repair on there.
Pretty much like, I dunno, a sealant.
And what I'm gonna do, I will be adding some more of this
a bit later, but I'm just gonna add a little bit to my hair
now, rub it together, and put that on the ends.
Because if I'm doing a ponytail, I do want the ends
to look as slick as possible.
And I'm hoping that the pomade can help
smooth them out a little bit as well.
It's just like one of the downfalls
of having long hair, you know?
Your ends are always doing their own thing.
Now it's time to actually get into using the product.
I think before I just go and put it onto the ponytail,
I have to actually apply the pomade.
♪ The moment of truth ♪
So like I just said, we're not gonna be using much else.
We're just gonna be using a bit of this with a bit of this.
Again, little tip for any of you guys with long hair
that want to try and use products like this or like this.
Adding oil to the product makes emulsification even easier.
If you have hair that's rather tangly
or rather rough like mine, I always find having an oil in my
hands makes it that much better.
I might move the camera up.
(claps) There we go, come in nice and close.
So, this is what my hair is looking like now
after the straightening brush.
Not very much texture going on in it, as you can see.
It's pretty much just a straightened job.
It's still essentially a little bit fluffy.
But now it's time to start applying our product.
We're just going to grab a big lump of it on the hand,
put it in there like that.
I still am not a fan of that smell, sorry BluMaan.
Put a little bit of oil, two pumps.
You can use Argan oil or whatever,
I just use Riot Control oil by Bhave,
because it works really well with my keratin treatment.
Emulsification time, let's do this.
So have a good look at my hair as it is now, and we'll see
what happens after we apply this, hey?
Okay, application's being quite good far.
I'm just gonna run it through my whole hair like that,
because I wanna get this right down to the ends,
because we want all the hair looking slick.
You can already see it doing its thing in the front there.
See how it's sticking it all back?
Oop, looks like we got another grouper.
It's already starting to bind my hairs together.
Wait and see.
Aright, so I've put it into the front there.
As we can see it's already shape my hair for me.
And we are seeing that minimal shine.
It is a lot shinier than other products that I would use.
So I've probably put enough in the front here.
The part I'm struggling with is more so at the back.
I could probably use more underneath
and through the middle bits here.
So I'm gonna grab a little bit more product.
It's so fun to play with, and I love the colour of it.
It's so cool.
And now we're gonna go underneath.
Little bit of tug there.
Hello.
Wonder if we can comb through it or not.
Ah yeah.
So I'm using the wide-tooth comb now
to just scoop it all through.
Ooh.
Look at that slickness!
The only thing I'm worried about is,
I don't know if a slick-back would really work for me
with my hair at this length, because there is so much room
for flop and stuff.
And I'm not hating the shine.
Usually shine is like, well, too much shine is kind of like,
nnhn.
Okay, so if we just go back a few steps and have a look at
what my hair looked like before I applied the product.
Check out the fricking slickness of it.
And you'll notice my hair before it had,
even though I had straightened it,
it still had a lot of boof in it.
And this, I'm even looking at it now, I could actually
wear this hairdo without even tying it up.
Yeah, it's just a simple out-style.
Could look cool.
Mega control.
I'm giving myself like Android 17 vibes right now,
or Super Android 17 vibes.
I am going to change my shirt soon as well, but I just
wanted to see how the product goes in my hair.
So far with the shine, cool, loving.
And I actually think
I've got a new formal hairstyle for my self.
Just even using this to slick it down.
I think the placing of it needs to be right,
the, or like all back.
Cool.
Yeah, that's dope.
I'm a fan!
Okay, so let's go ahead and put it into our ponytail.
So I'm gonna go and grab one of my elastics.
Seeing as we're using the Fifth Sample, why not use
a purple one, hey?
So, for doing this, again I'm gonna grab my
wide-toothed comb.
Wide-toothed combs are great for controlling hair,
because it's not so refined as a fine-tooth comb, right?
And it can actually help group all your hair,
especially while there's product in it.
So what I'm gonna do is brush it all back, I might,
I wanna be able to face you guys.
Brush it all back, get it all looking how I want to.
Really nice and clean.
This product's done a really good job
of taming my fly-aways as well.
Ooh, I actually really love the shine on that, so cool.
So I'm happy with the way my pony's sitting right now.
But as you can see, the purple elastic there,
I don't really want that showing, so what I'm gonna do
is pull out a bit of hair from below,
and we're gonna wrap it around the rest.
And what this does is it makes it look like,
I've tied my hair up with my own hair,
if you know what I mean.
Looks kind of cool, I like it.
And what I'll do to finish it up,
pin it in, make it as inconspicuous as possible.
Check it out.
Ha ha, it looks so groovy!
I love it.
I'd love to know your thoughts in the comment section below.
But what we're gonna do now
is put on the appropriate attire.
So, in my video about different hairstyles
for different occasions I used this example
for a formal event.
So I'm just gonna chuck on a white coloured shirt
with a bow tie and show you what the whole look
looks like together, and yeah.
I'll be right back.
(snaps) Da!
Okay, so here's actually the final look.
I've just chucked on my white coloured shirt
with my bow tie, and this is what it looks like.
So it's like more of a formal-y sort of hairstyle.
I also think it's time to zoom back out,
so we can finish up this video, how about that?
(claps) Okay, and we're back!
This is the final look from afar.
Not that much different, but yeah, it's pretty cool.
I'd really like to know your thoughts about this
in the comment section below, and also,
what kind of experiences have you guys had with pomades?
Are they something that you use?
'Cause they're just something that I've never picked up.
However, using this and looking at the natural shine,
I've actually had my mind changed about pomades, so,
(chuckles)
thank you BluMaan.
Yeah, I'd have to say my most favourite thing about this
was the natural shine that it gave.
I was a little bit worried that I was gonna be getting
that greasy shine, which I fucking hate.
But yeah, crisis avoided.
Probably my least favourite thing about this
is the smell of the product.
I love to have nice smelling things in my hair, I just love
the smell buzzing around my head all day.
So if I could mention anything, I would say
to make the smell a little bit more interesting.
The packaging's cool, the pricing, I guess, like $21.50
is jumping up a little bit.
I think they usually are $19.50 or something like that.
Considering the time and effort that maybe went
into this one, that's why it's more expensive.
And in terms of hold and doing what I wanted it to,
the fly-aways are really under control.
I'm really happy with the overall control
that it's given my hair.
You guys saw how boofy it was, and this has helped me
really constrict that down.
And I'm impressed with how the actual ends came out.
You know how I was saying earlier they're still a little bit
frazzle-y, like, the fact that this smoothed them over,
that's a really good thing.
Yeah, another bonus.
I'm actually really excited about how it looked
when I had it out and down.
I think that's gonna be really cool, because I wasn't
expecting the slickness to look as great as it did.
So that's another thing I'm really excited about, so.
Mind changed about pomade, and I'm happy to introduce
these guys to their other family members.
They're all like a big happy family now.
I can't believe there's five BluMaan products out there.
They just smashing them out. (claps)
Good job, guys.
Thank you so much, Sam, for reaching out
and letting me be a part of this launch.
Thank you to the whole BluMaan team.
Thank you to you guys for watching, and I really hope
you found this video enjoyable.
Please make sure you go over and join my Facebook group.
I have a Facebook group called Hairstyles in Action.
I originally created it for all the guys out there
that are wanting to grow their hair, kind of like a
support network for guys that are
going through the awkward phase.
However, it's turned into more of a, I dunno, just a group
where everyone can come and share updates about their hair
and what they're doing with it, and stuff like that.
It's a lot of fun.
So, the link's gonna be in description box for you.
There'll also be a link to Fifth Sample down there as well.
So if you wanna grab some yourself, I would recommend it.
I'm very happy with this,
and I'm glad it's in my arsenal now.
And that's all I really have for you, okay?
(chuckles)
Until next week, I'll see you for another video,
and ciao for now!
Bye!
