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.
Till Next Time.
Hey bro, I'm thinking of getting layrite. I'm South Asian,My hair is fairly thin and it's probably around 3.5-4inches on top..I am growing it so I can eventually do a pomp. The current wax i use is pretty crap, when I go out my hair just gets blown around and I end up looking like I went to sleep with wax in my hair. I also get hot easily, so with summer coming it would be nice to have a product that doesn't look horrible if I sweat a little. I was wondering if this would be the best product for me to give a good hold but without weighing my hair down and making it look flat. Nice blog btw.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you do recommend Layrite, which would be better..super hold or deluxe? Thanks, I appreciate any advice.
