Layrite Deluxe Original Pomade, 4 oz

This pomade works great! It holds very well, I use it to catch baby hairs and to smooth out my hairdos. It washes away easily – like they say: it hold like wax and washes like gel! The scent delicate and is unisex. It smells a bit sweet but not too much!

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.

I've used many products in my hair before and fine they're either too sticky, wet, dry or too strong - the list is endless. This stuff is perfect. It smells great too... a natural shine and a long lasting hold. None of the stickiness of other products. Some tips I'll give: don't use too much, use a brush with it and not a comb and what you do use I'd warm up in your hands first. 5* best product I've used.

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.

Alright so I've tried out a few different pomades and hair products in general and most of the time I reach for Layrite. The few products I rotate out somewhat regulaly are this, American Crew Pomade and Fiber, and Murray's original pomade. Alright so quick rundown of each product with respect to Layrite. Keep in mind I have hair on the thinner side.American Crew Pomade:- Hold is slightly less strong= Holds for a similar amount of time= Smell is slightly less strong but not as good IMO as Layrite+ AC Pomade I have seen in stores, if you really need it now- More expensive= Washes out easyAmerican Crew Fiber:+ Slightly stronger hold- Sticky application, not really a big deal just unfavorable for me- Doesn't hold for as long- Odd smell, not bad, just smells a little much like a hairstyling product+ Easier to find in stores in my experience- More expensive= Washes out easyMurray's:= Smell is pretty great for both, maybe a little better personally with Murray's+ Definitely cheaper than all these products+ Easier to find in local stores, in my experience- Slightly Sticky application- Somewhat hard to wash out if you use more than a small finger dab- Really hard to get off your hands in one wash+ Excellent hold and pretty good looksSo all products get used, but Layrite to me is more consistent, the hold is strong enough to last through the majority of the day, it is easy to work with and wash out, and it smells great, like a vanilla bean sort of scent although it is a tad strong for some.Murray's would be perfect if it wasn't such a pain to get off your hands, and if someone or something touches your hair its more of a task to get rid of residue vs any of the other products mentioned.AC Pomade and Fiber are both good products, I like the smell of the pomade and the hold isn't as great but still decent, although the price is pretty high. Same with fiber, although the smell is eh, but the matte look and hold are pluses for me.
