I'm Joost and I'm here today with the Layrite original pomade versus the Suavecito original
0:04
hold pomade. So Layrite has a little bit more of an original look with the embossed lid
0:09
Suavecito is more like a jar of gel. You also see that in the smell because the Suavecito is more like a sea breeze type of
0:20
gel smell while the Layrite is more of like a metro man pomade smell with hints of coconut
0:27
and vanilla. I like the smell of the Layrite better. Actually when you wear this in your hair you can smell it all day so you don't even have
0:34
to wear any cologne. This also smells all day but it's more of like a gel, a traditional gel smell
0:41
You also see that in the structure a little bit. They are very similar but this is a little more similar to like a pomade of the Uppercut
0:49
brand and this is more towards like a gel. The hold on the Suavecito is better even though they're both medium hold but I think
0:58
the Layrite hold is quite light. It does have a little bit more shine to it though
1:02
The Layrite original pomade and it keeps my hair in place quite well
1:08
It has a medium hold as you can see it holds my hair up and it's quite wet
1:14
It's quite a wet look so if that's what you're looking for this is a great product
1:17
It smells a little bit more Metro Manny than the other Layrite product
1:23
It's a coconutty vanilla kind of smell. It is a great smell that will keep in your hair all day so you don't even need to wear
1:31
any cologne when you're using this. Now it's quite sticky so the way I like to use this is to rub a little across my hands
1:37
and then go through my hair pushing that up because I like it up and spiky
1:42
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 because
1:49
it needs quite a bit to be able to stay up but it is great if I want to wear it just
1:54
a little bit flatter and I think it's perfect for like my son's hair which is just a little
2:00
bit longer and to push that all the way to the side or even do a slicked back look if
2:05
you want. I just apply a little to his hair as well. The advantage of a pomade like this is that you can go through your hair during the day
2:13
and sculpt that back into place. It won't get crunchy like with a gel but it still has a medium hold
2:19
So I think this is perfect for those with a little longer hair to get like a wet look
2:24
without it being crunchy. The Suavecito Original Hold Pomade and it's a little bit more like a gel
2:30
It's a little bit more jiggly than a gel but it smells almost like a gel
2:36
A little sea breeze. It's a little sea breeze smell to me
2:41
As you can see it holds my hair up pretty well. I like to wear my hair up and spiky and the Original Hold, well it has a little bit of
2:50
an issue holding the hair at the back up. So as you can see it has the nice skeleton design which was the first thing that attracted
2:57
me to it and Suavecito is really a well known pomade brand
3:03
As you can see the substance is quite jiggly and soft and if you rub this across your hands
3:10
a little that'll make sure that you don't get any lumps. Now what I like to do is to spread this out across my hands just a little bit and then
3:19
I like to use this on the top of my hair to make sure that it's evenly divided and then
3:23
just take a little bit extra and do the back and sides of my hair just to make sure that
3:28
it holds in place all day. Now this is a mild hold so it's not the best for my short and spiky hair and thin hair
3:36
but it did wonders for my son's hair which is a little bit longer to keep that into place
3:41
and to the side and that worked all day while he played. Now the advantage of this pomade is that you can re-sculpt it during the day and your hair
3:49
doesn't get hard like with gels but you still have a little bit of that wet gel texture
3:54
Now I recommend this pomade for anyone looking to get a wet finish without like the crunchiness
4:00
of a gel and it still has a mild hold. So it's not perfect for those really specific spikes but it is perfect for a little bit
4:08
longer hair that you want to keep in place
