Hi I'm Joost and today I'm looking at the Layrite original pomade and it keeps my hair
0:04
in place quite well. It has a medium hold, as you can see it holds my hair up and it's quite wet, it's quite
0:13
a wet look so if that's what you're looking for this is a great product. And it smells a little bit more metromani than the other Layrite product, it's a coconutty
0:23
vanilla kind of smell. So the first thing I noticed about this is the cool design from the lettering to like
0:29
the embossed logo here on the lid and the little woman barber on top of the lid here
0:36
It's just a cool logo. But of course it's about what's inside and this is quite gooey, quite sticky and it looks
0:44
a little bit like the Uppercut Deluxe pomade and it has a similar smell, well it's a little
0:48
bit less coconutty and vanilla but it is a great smell that will keep in your hair all
0:52
day so you don't even need to wear any cologne when you're using this
0:57
Now it's quite sticky so the way I like to use this is to rub a little across my hands
1:01
and then go through my hair pushing that up because I like it up and spiky and this will
1:06
give you a nice wet look. Then I just take a little bit extra and do the back and sides of my hair just to make
1:12
sure that that stays in place all day. Now this has a medium hold so it's not the best for my spiky and my thin hair because
1:20
it needs quite a bit to be able to stay up but it is great if I want to wear it just
1:25
a little bit flatter and I think it's perfect for like my son's hair which is just a little
1:31
bit longer and to push that all the way to the side or even do a slicked back look if
1:36
you want. I just apply a little to his hair as well and the advantage of a pomade like this is
1:41
that you can go through your hair during the day and sculpt that back into place
1:45
It won't get crunchy like with the gel but it still has a medium hold so I think this
1:50
is perfect for those with a little longer hair to get like a wet look without it being crunchy
