💇 Layrite Superhold Pomade - 4oz Review

Tried this product because the smell of Suavecito Strong Hold was too strong and off-putting for me. I read in one of the reviews about this product that it smells like vanilla. Beautiful, I thought. It might smell like I've just washed my hair, I thought, so why not try it despite the relatively high price. Yes, it smells like vanilla. Yes, it has a less aggressive odor than Suavecito. However, the smell is still too strong. It's stronger than the smell of washed hair. Everywhere I went I…

Obviously I'm not the target audience for this product BUT I love it! I first came across this at Marshall and thought it might be worth a try as I am a fan of hair products and love to try new things. I live in a very humid climate and I needed something that would help my hair hold certain styles. I have 4c Afro textured hair and it suits me well. My hair is 100% free of chemicals, relaxers or dyes. It doesn't last forever but I love how my hair behaves so much better and lasts longer in the…

I first compared this product to several palms and creams that I bought at the same time to make a comparison. I have a full head of gray and black, curly, neck length hair and am 69 years old. Of all the products I have used this is by far the best. Suavesito came the closest with a firm hold, but I've decided not to buy it again with Layrite. The tea tree conditioning pomade was a huge disappointment compared to their amazing shampoo. The tea tree was separated in a jar over time, was the…

I am a Nordic male with heavy and thick hair that grows in my face. As a result, I find it very difficult to style my hair up and away from my face as most popular men's hairstyles require. I've tried 4-5 different extra/super/heavy hold lipsticks and I have to say Layrite is the best, Layrite is the strongest and longest lasting. With Layrite, my hair is unlikely to fall in my face during the day. As a side note, if you're on a budget, the Suavecito Firme Hold Pomade is almost as good, and…

Of all the lipsticks I've tried (Admiral Red, Admiral Grey, Sheer Revival, Teddy Boy Matte and JS Sloane Heavy) this is without a doubt my favourite. Water based is definitely better for many reasons. Layrite sets easily, smells nice and lasts all day. Pompadour, side parts, puffy, smooth back. If you use a lot, yes it will make your hair a little crusty as it dries. Later adjustments are easy, just wash your hair with your hands and comb through. They also don't leave a residue when you run…

I bought this lipstick as my first one after reading all the good reviews. I think I should preface this by saying that I'm East Asian with very straight but bouncy and unruly hair that I wear with a side parting/slick back. cream soda). Application: The water-based lipstick is very easy to apply. Gel-like consistency, does not pull on the hair, is easy to rinse out. Wet application gives it a shiny wet look. Dry application adds some shine, but not too much. Longevity: Hold is great initially…

I remember going to my godfather who was about 8 years older than me and playing video games the whole time. I remember he was very fond of lowriders and a big fan of that culture. I remember watching him often. However, one of my fondest memories was the rare time I saw him getting ready and doing his hair. He had a ritual and that was cool to me. Taking care of your looks was great, but who would have thought? I was 11 and my style and looks needed serious help, but I was confident that once…

The instructions say to use on dry hair for better hold, but I don't like it. I have very thick "Asian hair" and a straight back haircut. I prefer to apply a little to damp hair and then wait 30 minutes for it to "set". The hold is great for the whole day. The only downside would be that it isn't "flexible" like my previous hair product. My previous product was flexible but by the end of the day my hair was falling into my eyes. I don't like blow drying my hair and I don't like spending a lot…

I like this product. I take great care of my hair. I have very curly and thick hair and it is very difficult for me to control my curls and still look decent. I've tried so many other products that ended up in the trash because they just didn't work on my unruly hair. Somewhere on the net I saw a video where a person with problem hair recommended this lipstick and I decided to try it. To my surprise, it works wonders on my very curly and thick hair. I apply it before and after the gym with…
