Hi I'm Joost and I'm here today with the Layrite Natural Matte Cream
0:03
And this really is a medium hold, well I would say it says medium hold right here, but I
0:08
would say light hold. And it has a really matte finish. You can see that here, that it doesn't really hold all of my hair up, the way like some
0:20
other pomades do. But it's great for a messy hair look. And I'll get into that in a minute
0:26
Now it smells very manly, maybe a little bit coconutty. And I think all of the Layrite products smell the same
0:33
And you can keep smelling that smell all day, even longer than your cologne
0:36
So I really love the Layrite brand with the cool lettering here
0:40
And the embossed top with the Woman Barber logo. So that's very cool
0:46
But of course it's about what's inside. And this is a very wet and creamy substance
0:54
So this is very wet, wetter than the pomades. So that made me think that this would give a wet look
0:59
But it's actually a matte look, a matte finish with a light hold
1:03
Because it's quite wet, what I like to do is get a little onto my hands and then spread
1:07
that out across my hands. Because otherwise you will get these wide big lumps in your hair
1:12
And then I go through my hair and I like to wear my hair up. So I'm trying this out to see if this can keep my hair up and spiky
1:19
And then I take out just a little bit extra and do the back and sides of my hair. Just to make sure that that stays up all day
1:25
Now it isn't the best for holding up my spiky and thin hair
1:29
Because it has a light hold. But it is perfect for getting like a messy look
1:34
So I also test this out on my son's hair which is a little bit longer
1:38
And I use it to move the hair to the side. And the advantage here is that you can go through the hair all day without it being
1:46
sticky or crunchy like with a gel. So it has a matte finish and still a little bit hold
1:52
But you can get a cool messy effect. Which is also perfect for an out of bed look
1:56
I wouldn't recommend this to people who want to shape their hair in a particular way
2:02
But it's perfect for those who want a messy look
