I started looking around for hair styling options in my teenage years, and I found Joe on YouTube when he was first starting the Blumaan brand. I found his videos very helpful, and so I decided to try out his product line. I have never gone without it since. I had been using pomades and gels, and I hated the crunchy and "fake" hold that I got from those, as well as the shiny and wet look that they always had. Joe's YT channel and his products were my introduction into hair drying and pre-stylers, and that method changed my hair routine. The original styling meraki and cavalier heavy clay are an impressively effective combination, and I try to always have both on hand.
I frequently grab a random can of product that I haven't used yet from Amazon or Walmart just to see how they do. While I have found some good ones along the way, Joe's outstanding products have been what I come back to every time. I will say, I do have very thick, semi fine wavy hair, and the clay specifically is designed to help guys like me tame their hair whilst still keeping a natural matte look. I can't speak for all hair types, but Blumaan has my allegiance for sure - and for what it's worth, I'll bet that you'd like it too.
