Morris Motley MATTE STYLING BALM | First Impressions & Review

[@prowarrior614]

I respect you as a viewer. You've got such good content.

[@TDMStyle]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

[@thatsthebadger9488]

Your reviews are freaking hilarious man! Much love

[@TDMStyle]

Cheers man!

[@TheConquerer24]

Can you do the strong version? I want to see how both compare before I purchase one

[@luisalbertogarcia1854]

Question. Which one is better for a medium-large straight hair? The MSB or the SMSB??

[@TDMStyle]

Haven’t tried the strong version yet but I would assume that one.

[@mattwilson3321]

Tried the Strong MSB and it’s become a top-3 styler for me. It has great hold and texture while remaining pliable. The Strong version has volcanic ash and carnauba wax (which accounts for the increased hold) added. Great stuff.

[@TDMStyle]

Ah, interesting! I tried this regular version again last week with my new shorter cut. It was definitely better performance than it was with my longer hair, but I still didn't feel it was worth my 45 smackers. Sounds like the strong version might be, though!

[@gonroblesc]

When I saw 'balm' in my notifications I thought this was the GCTB lol. Superb review as always, Matt!

[@TDMStyle]

Thanks! Definitely gotta do GCTB soon, that stuff is 🔥🔥🔥

[@ikhtiarrashid1427]

hey matt....got a small question, and that is do you know the expiry date of the salonguy products?? there is no info. about the product validity on the jar or in their website....

[@TDMStyle]

Most cosmetic products are 12 months after opening. His two new stylers have the 12M symbol on the labels

[@ikhtiarrashid1427]

@@TDMStyle so if I even use after 12 months validity , will there be any issues to the hair or any performance decrease of the product? thanks in advance :)

[@Tooeasy911]

Amazing review as always bro 🔥

[@TDMStyle]

Thanks so much!

What were you using for this 2nd day hair? Looks great

[@Bealzy29]

Been waiting for this 👌🏻

[@Thomasho110]

Is it better than the Mm Chrome?

[@TDMStyle]

Eh I like Chrome better tbh

[@tamasmenyhart8483]

Try the root & muddle clay.. You'll need 1 pea size amount and it holds until the next day 😂 Best clay out there along with the Oasis.

[@Sabrina-qt2cm]

Hi TDM Style do you remember when you made the 10th doctor hair styles. I am a kid/teen and i don't have strong hair make for mabye the hair of Smith and Johnes. But i buy a hair concrete a little bit sticky but i love the end of time hair style and i can do yayyyy. Thank you for the tutorials and sorry for my bad English and for have repeat hair but i am italian and i don't know much english.

[@CayossAda]

How would you compare the new formulation to Trents TH1?

[@TDMStyle]

I think TH1 is more matte looking with a bit coarser texture.

[@bkopgamer]

Happy 4th of July Matt.

[@TDMStyle]

Happy 4th!

[@TDMStyle]

Thanks!

[@Josh77600]

Are you also going to review the strong matte Styling balm?

[@TDMStyle]

Maybe at some point. I don’t really wanna drop another $45 right now though tbh lol

[@Josh77600]

TDM Style HAha fair enough👍🏻

[@farazr2]

Like you said, there are a lot of products that do similar things on the market for much less albeit with fewer frills. I think Fuertes Clay, Fatboy Perfect Putty, as well as several other homebrews have very reasonable alternatives with better price point and availability. (And doesn't get reformulated/rebranded every year)

[@garrettmcgrath2144]

Those products behave very differently in my hair. If they perform similarly for you I don’t think you should assume that means they are ‘exactly the same’ for every hair type.

[@rummanrad3496]

hey did u get a hair cut?

[@TDMStyle]

Yeah! Salons opened back up here a couple weeks ago.

[@pxda24]

I really like your hair color, is it dark silver grey

[@TDMStyle]

Thanks! It’s a silvery lavender 👍🏻

[@theopinionatedbrit]

I liked the original TSB. Didn’t try v2. I don’t think I could justify paying that amount for a hair product. It’s a crazy crazy amount!

[@TDMStyle]

Yeah they’re really stretching it this time imo. It’s nice, but worth $45? Ehhhh lol

[@SilkyNoah]

Damn, they gotta cool it with the prices down under. Loved their clay cleanser but with the prices... Yikes!

[@TDMStyle]

I hear that!

[@flusck]

Their new clay cleanser is just ridiculous in terms of pricing. Lowered the content and upped the price.

[@SilkyNoah]

@@flusck I actually got on to check recently and couldn't believe they bumped the price on the shampoos. Guess MM is out of the question for me, what a shame.

[@phillipandrew87]

Yeah, honestly, I think the whole stated novelty of the product is kinda misleading. I've gone back and forth on this, but after using both side by side for a while now (TSB01 and MSB), I've come to the conclusion that it's basically the same exact product, reformulated with fewer ingredients and more expensive packaging, hence the higher price point. I still think maybe there's a slight difference in the matte appearance of the two. I'd definitely say they're both matte but they both also somehow impart a healthy "glow" to the hair, not a shine but something that darkens and boosts the natural color of your hair. TSB01 looks a little better, a little healthier looking I think, probably thanks to the many more oils in it, while MSB is slightly more matte perhaps because of the higher clay content. Both plump the hair, leaving it looking thicker. I can get a firm hold out of both, but I have to layer quite a bit in to achieve that (about twice as much as Matt used here or more), and I'm guessing neither were made to do that. Using it how most would normally, like how Matt did, it's a solid medium, I would agree. (I've never heard of the strong version until now and it'll be interesting to see how that compares). It's pretty much been a go to product of mine since I first tried TSB01. I always come back to it after a while. Why? For me, it's the look, hold, and scent that I love. It's mainly the look though. Call me crazy, but the way a product looks in my hair is just as, if not more, important than the hold itself. Even if two different products have a matte finish, with a similar level of shine (or non shine), there's bound to be other subtle differences between the two that I always notice. And I just love Morris Motely's thickening, texturizing vital glow it leaves my hair with. Like none other.

[@husseinbaghdadi4533]

After using TSB for over two years, I finished a jar of MSB and I am disappointed. The product is definitely inferior and more expensive. I am done with Mm.

[@leonflabby7212]

I still prefer tsb 1 Still the best for me

[@bogdanlakotiy9915]

@@husseinbaghdadi4533 how would you compare it to moroccanoil texture clay? I loved TSB01 but don’t think I’ll be getting MSB

[@samiavci3080]

Have you found a better alternative to the original TSB yet?

[@phillipandrew87]

@@samiavci3080 never did. But I've been out of the hair game for a while. Been growing out my hair for over two years and have barely used any product at all in that time period. I would say the updated MSB is a good substitute, if not the exact same. But stay away from the strong hold version of it. I had that and it turned rock hard within a month (I was storing it properly too so it wasn't that).

[@DakotaSmith000]

Hey man you should check out Roaming Barber they're a Australia owned brand and they got a pretty decent clay, it worked really well for me!

[@jcs1291]

This stuff styles nicely for me initially but doesn’t have any endurance. In my opinion, it was a bold move raising their prices. They were already on the line of being over priced, but were definitely premium compared to home brews. But not sure that they compete with other hair products that cost >40. first that comes to mind is Oribe and their products kick ass comparatively in all aspects. Scents would fuck you up.

[@TDMStyle]

Yeah I’ve been meaning to try some Oribe stuff, I’ve heard they’re wonderful.

[@jcs1291]

TDM Style you’d dig the oribe featherbalm next time you’re looking for a good pre-styler. It’s really great weightless smoothing agent. Wish it wasn’t so pricy.

[@lrlevy]

No more Fleek Fellows?

[@TDMStyle]

My code stopped working and they never replied to the 3 emails I sent them asking why.

[@lrlevy]

TDM Style ok. Thanks. My go to product is Kevin Murphy Nightrider.

[@hoangduongnguyenvu5536]

Morris Motley would be a killer brand with an average price tag, but as a "premium niche" brand it's just mediocre

[@TDMStyle]

Yeah, I agree with you there. For me the only thing they offer right now that imo is worth the premium price tag is their Oakmoss fragrance.

[@maxcomment]

@@TDMStyle Hanz De Funko like it 😅

There's is absolutely no way I could justify spending 45 bucks on a styling product 😂😂

@hij what would you recommend that is the best for the price?

[@ruthron623]

@hij ty so much

[@---jm4cz]

I love your Videos 100% but I don‘t understand your opinion and kinda personal battle with MM. To me, there cannot be any better products on the market 🤔😅🙈 But it‘s cool, that you got your own opinion and shiiiiieeeet 👍🏽👌🏽

[@TDMStyle]

I guess MM just doesn't work that well for my hair type 🤷🏻‍♂️I agree with hij, for me there are many products out there that simply out perform MM stuff at a way lower cost. It's nothing personal between me and MM haha, just the facts of its performance.

[@BlackEgrets]

Morris Motley is simply overpriced. I have used their chrome & TSB2 before...but I find that other home brew stuffs work far better than MM. And, the price for MM never will be justified for its performance, period. It was already expensive for what it does and they raised $10 more? Hmm..🤔 totally not worth it imo.

[@yahirmayorquin8471]

@@BlackEgrets hello, i know im nine months late, but can you recommend something that performs similarly to msb with a lower price tag? would shear revival northern lights be one of them?
