Hi I'm Joost and today I'm looking at the Layrite Original Pomade vs the Layrite Natural
0:05
Matte Cream. So there are two main differences here. One is the shine that it gives
0:08
So the Layrite Original Pomade gives quite a shine. You can see it's also a wet goo structure
0:16
And the Original Cream or the Natural Cream it's a lot less wet
0:22
And you can see it looks wet in the tin. But once you apply that to your hair it gives a matte finish
0:29
The next thing that's a big difference here is the hold. While they both say medium hold the hold on the pomade is a lot better than on the cream
0:38
So with the pomade you can make more of like a specific look where you place every hair
0:43
specifically the way you want. With a wet look. And with the cream that's more of like a matte out of bed look where you can get your hair
0:51
to look like a little messy. The Layrite Natural Matte Cream. And this really is a like a medium hold
0:59
Well I would say it says medium hold right here but I would say light hold
1:03
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 other
1:13
pomades do. But it's great for a messy hair look. And I'll get into that in a minute
1:18
Now it smells very manly. Maybe a little bit coconutty. And I think all of the Layrite products smell the same
1:25
And you can keep smelling that smell all day. Even longer than your cologne
1:29
And this is a very wet and creamy substance. So this is very wet
1:36
Wetter than the pomade. So that made me think that this would give a wet look
1:40
But it's actually a matte look. A matte finish with a light hold
1:44
Because it's quite wet what I like to do is get a little onto my hands and then spread
1:47
that out across my hands because otherwise you will get these wide big lumps in your hair
1:53
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
2:00
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
2:05
Now it isn't the best for holding up my spiky and thin hair
2:10
Because it has a light hold. But it is perfect for getting like a messy look
2:14
So I also tested this out on my son's hair which is a little bit longer
2:19
And I used 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
2:26
sticky or crunchy like with a gel. And so it has a matte finish and still a little bit hold
2:33
But you can get a cool messy effect. Which is also perfect for an out of bed look
2:37
I wouldn't recommend this to people who want to shape their hair in a particular way
2:43
But it's perfect for those who want a messy look. The Layrite Original Pomade
2:47
And it keeps my hair in place quite well. It has a medium hold as you can see it holds my hair up
2:55
And it's quite wet. It's quite a wet look. So if that's what you're looking for this is a great product
3:00
Now it smells a little bit more metromani than the other Layrite products
3:06
It's a coconutty vanilla kind of smell. It's a great smell that will keep in your hair all day
3:11
So you don't even need to wear any cologne when you're using this
3:15
Now it's quite sticky so the way I like to use this is to rub a little across my hands
3:20
And then go through my hair pushing that up because I like it up and spiky
3:24
And this will give you a nice wet look. Now this has a medium hold so it's not the best for my spiky and my thin hair
3:32
Because it needs quite a bit to be able to stay up. But it is great if I want to wear it just a little bit flatter
3:38
And I think it's perfect for like my son's hair which is just a little bit longer
3:44
And to push that all the way to the side. Or even do a slicked back look if you want
3:48
I just apply a little to his hair as well. And the advantage of a pomade like this is that you can go through your hair during the day
3:55
And sculpt that back into place. It won't get crunchy like with the gel
3:59
But it still has a medium hold. So I think this is perfect for those with a little longer hair
4:05
To get like a wet look without it being crunchy
