Layrite Original Pomade 120g Hair Styling Product

I was at first hesitant buying this because I thought it might make my hair look extremely greasy. Also, I wasn't looking for the slicked back look but rather a more natural messed 'bed hair' look. I often found that waxes felt too sticky or were hard to distribute into my hair evenly. First thing I noticed was the smell of the product. It has a smoky varnish-like smell. Sounds bizarre but I actually quite like the smell but that may not be everyone's cup of tea. It has the consistency of hair gel. So, taking a small amount with one finger, then rubbing the product into my hands to warm up the product I rubbed it into my hair until I felt adequate that the product had been evenly distributed. One thing to note is that this product will run out a lot faster than wax so you will probably pay more in the long run if you use this product solely. The hold looks natural and gives you the freedom to re-style. My hair after washing can look very fine and the pomade makes my hair look healthier. Obviously, if you use too much then it will look greasy so it may take time to experiment and find the right amount for your hair. When getting it right, it adds thickness and a nice texture to your hair. Washing the product out is extremely easy. One wash and there is no evidence of it still lingering, smell or feel. Overall, great product for a decent price and is definitely worth having alongside other products.

I love it. This is by far the best hair product known to man. I usually go through about one jar every two months, but it is so very worth it. The pomade has a very subtle smell to it, maybe a little hint of vanilla in there. Not sure on that. It's easy to scoop out and apply, it holds great for classic styles like the Pompadour. I am writing this review to share how this pomade changed my life. I'm a 18 year old guy with a terrible hairstyle. I do some research about greasers and pompadours, etc. I stumble upon this legendary hairstyle and try to fix one up for myself, I go out to the store and buy a can of Murray's Pomade. This is some real petroleum based stuff we're talking about here. This Murray's stuff is NO joke. I have the cut already and get out the Murray's pomade. All goes well, or at least I thought. I got the hairstyle going, my hands feel like they have been dunked in a bucket of grease and dirty cigarettes, and I think I feel pretty decent. Later that night i was going to take a shower, I hop in and shampoo my hair, but to my dismay. The Murray's is NOT coming out o my hair. It's stuck. I begin to panic in the shower, I'm breaking down at this point after shampooing 8 times with no results. I fall to the bottom of my shower, curled up in a little ball, crying, weeping, ... I do not know who I am at this point. I finally find this product. A Water soluble pomade. Layrite Pomade. I order a jar instantly. I get the product and apply it to my hair, it's flawless, it's beautiful, it's smooth. I get the pomp up and get a nice sharp part with NO hair sticking up out of place. I am very impressed by the Layrite, I go out in town and get compliments left and right. The Layrite pomade has changed my life, after a terrible run in with Murray's, I find this gem and I find myself again. This product made me a believer. It is phenomenal. I shower and it comes out with ONE shampooing, all of it. Great. Very happy guy. I recommend this product to anyone who likes to have a great hairstyle, and a great time.

Love the scent.. Texture of product is more solid than expected but applies easily, looks and holds great! Short cut style roughly 1.5" on the top.

good brand and good pomade.

Washes out like a gel and holds like a wax. It's true. I prefer this pomade to the usual range of waxes that tend to make your hair tough to brush. I wash my hair every 3 days and apply a very light top-up of pomade each day just to help hold it in a short and neat style. There's a faint coconut scent to it which I like but probably isn't for everyone. My only gripe is that the product is expensive (around £12, depending on when you buy it) whereas it's sold in the US for way less than just a shipping cost. I hope you enjoyed this review.
