Layrite Original Pomade 42g | Medium Hold | Water Soluble | Medium Shine

I'd been using Uppercut Deluxe matte pomade until I tried this Layrite. I want a good hold without the greasy wet look of most strong pomade. So the Uppercut matte was my favourite, however I live near the coast and it gets windy, which the matte pomade just moved and volumised in the wind so I looked like I'd been dragged through a bush! Enter Layrite Strong. Fabulous hold, great for styling and still aleasy to comb without knotting, is slightly shinier than the matte pomade but even using a fair bit, it doesn't look greasy. Now my hair stays in place in the wind! 😁 Smells lovely too without being too pungent. Great stuff. New favourite.

Very good pomade for slik back

Soft, easy to rub between hands before running through hair with fingers. Scent is very nice and subtle, will buy again when this tub is finished.

The amount of hair gels, creams and pomade I've been through has been a headache, not to mention heavy on the pocket just to try. However this is the one for me. If you're looking for a pomade that is easy to apply, not ultra sticky or ultra greasy this could be for you. I use it for slick back style. Mix a bit in palms, add to hair first application. Mix a little bit more add a tiny tiny bit of water to loosen (which I find seems to activate it more) Then comb with fingers or comb. Lasts for the day with good application and washes out easily with no residue.

I have been a user of the red DAX wax for many many years and have tried so many different hair products and have always gone back to DAX because it seems to be the best hold for my hair. But, I live in Dubai and during the summer months temperatures can reach 50c so DAX being a wax gets very soft in the heat. I tried using gels but because my hair has a slight curl to it the gel doesn't pull and hold my hair straight like DAX does. Another problem with DAX, being petroleum based they have recently changed the smell of it so its starting to smell like engine oil :-( So, I have hunted high and low for a water based product that stays firm in the heat, washes out easily and also one that smells great..... FINALLY... for me.. a product that does what it says on the tin!!!! This really is like putting wax in your hair, with the same hold as gel.... and washes out easily. My only tip is to make sure your hair is almost dry and it works better then (probably not getting watered down). I towel dry my hair and that seems to be enough. Will for sure be stocking up with this product!! FANTASTIC !!!

I have thick straight hair which is usually around medium length and I find this product works very well in taming my hair and allowing me to style into a sort of slick back/parted style. I also like the fact that you can rinse the majority of this out without shampoo so you can reapply a few times without having to wash your hair completely. For best results I speread a small amount evenly through wet hair and blow dry while combing it to the desired style, then add more product on top of the dry hair to hold in place.

I have started to grow my hair during lockdown to try and achieve a nice man bun but as we all know we need to go through the ugly stage. I cut my hair in a way that I have an undercut comb over while growing my hair and needed something to hold my hair in place. I tried many regular products from supermarkets and they were bad. Tried John Frieda products and they were okay but still struggled with my hair. However, this product is superb. Holds my hair well and gives it a nice shine. The smell is also weird but pleasant? Something I haven't smelt before but smells so so nice. Will be stocking up on this product, highly recommend.

Came here to check if I had a faulty batch, but it seems not. Been getting this for a few years now and it was excellent. Held your hair really well, washed out easily and was more wax than gel. But the latest one I got is awful. The new version is like a very cheap wet look gell from the 1990s. It does not hold your hair and feels very greasy. I've checked, and the ingredients are the same between the old one and my latest tub. But the first ingredient is water. And it feels like they have just increased the amount of that. Shame as it was excellent, now at that price, just avoid it.
