*I had to get the image off the internet because the photograph I took of it looks awful 

One of the most important factors I look for when selecting pomade is its hold. I'm sure you folks out there would have the same thing in mind when selecting your styling product. Being a big fan of water soluble pomades, I decided to try out Layrite Super Hold.

A quick History lesson: The inventor of Layrite - Donnie Hawley saw a problem when he was a barber. He would have customers step up into his chair with hair smothered in petroleum grease. Not being able to wash it all off, things were made  more difficult of Hawley because he did not have to a proper "canvas" to work on.
Hawley then decided experiment with different formulas of water soluble pomades, and took the best feature from the products that he likes to work with, yet maintaining the ability to wash it off with just water. That is why the tag line, "Pomades that holds like a wax yet washes out like gel!" is so confidently stamped on every product.

Layrite Super Hold comes in a plastic 4oz container.  When opened, the pleasant smell of the pomade reminds me of tapioca paste, and have to same texture that resembles yam paste.  In essence, the pleasant smell would be something your lady would appreciate.

Layrite Super Hold is made up of Water, Ceteareth-25, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocate, Polysorbate 20, PVP,  Polysorbate Glycol, PEG-7 Hydronated Castor Oil, PEG-8 bees wax, fragrance, PEG-8 Methicone, DMDM hydrantoin, Methylparaden, Red (CI 14700), Yellow 5 ( CI 19140)

In short, Layrite Super Hold is made up of a huge amount of chemicals, so please be careful when applying, do not apply it to your scalp. You don't want to be suffering from early stages of hair loss.

This product has a good amount of hold. It works perfectly for folks who use the wet-comb method  to fashion their hair. Layrite Super Hold also works perfectly with thin asian hair like mine, giving it volume as you fashion your hair to whatever you desire. 

It is also able to hold up when exposed to a certain level of heat. I was able to stand beside flames during a field cooking session and also stand under the sun without having to worry about the pomp. It would also be easy to re-comb your hair again (with water) if the unfortunate were to happen.

You can get your product from the Hiest's Panic Room.

Product Review - Kent Foldable Comb

Some people often overlook the importance of having a good comb. Not only does the comb help style or fashion hair when needed, it spreads natural oils throughout the hair shaft and gets rid of any dirt. Hence keeping it cleaner and softer.

And my choice of comb would be the Kent Foldable Comb ( Introduced to me by a friend, Andre G.M.H) . The mens' foldable pocket comb is a 100mm fine toothed folding comb which comes with a pocket clip. Kent brushes established in 1777 has made its mark on the industry by having a wide range and depth of products.

The foldable comb is sturdy, reliable and convenient.  Not like any other combs that you see seniors (ahpeks and uncles) carry in their back pocket. The teeth of the comb does not break easily,  and it can comb through hair smothered in pomade rather smoothly. With my thin Chinese-Asian hair, a comb would decide the fate of my hair. And Kent's foldable comb suits me just fine.

The pocket clip comes in handy for me at time when I do not bring my wallet out. Other than securing the comb to the seams of your pocket, it can be used as a money or card clip.

Kent combs can be found all over our little island in shops like Watsons and Mustafa Center. Go for adventures, because you might not know what you will be able to find.
